How to Get Your Coffee Fix

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at TCNJ chapter.

Let’s face it. If you’re the type of person who functions like the walking dead until you’ve had your morning coffee, you’ll probably agree that the coffee options are pretty limited around campus.

But don’t worry – here are a few ways to get your coffee fix around campus!

1. The Ever-Popular and Totally Affordable Dunkin Donuts: Dunkin is a great place to grab coffee on the run  (They have a drive through now!) or if you have time, sit and chat with your friends. There a ton of great coffee flavors, especially the seasonal flavors like Pumpkin, White Mocha Pumpkin, and Gingerbread!

For all the football fans out there, Dunkin has recently partnered with the Philadelphia Eagles and set up a great new promotion. If the Eagles win on Sundays, fans get a free Dunkin coffee!

2. Be Your Own Barista: Purchase a Keurig (like this one!) for your dorm (but please refer to your residence life handbook first because not all dorms can have them!)! It’s a quick and convenient way to brew a tasty cup of Joe without leaving your room.  It may seem pricey to buy one at first, but in the long run, it will save you a lot! Many places such as grocery stores, and coffee shops sell a ton of different K–cups to put in your Keurig. Stock-up on your fave flavors for the chilly fall weather!

3. The C-Store: Surprisingly, the C-Store has great coffee and it’s open early! If you have somewhere to be before the other cafes on campus open, then stop in and grab a cup of hazelnut, vanilla, or even pumpkin spice coffee. It’s delicious!
