Atmosphere: Often greeted by the founders, you can’t help but feel warm and cozy at Carport. With large windows that let in plenty of natural light, this shop makes for a great spot to catch up with friends or to stay energized through a study session.
Internet: Available
Location: 1600 Texas Avenue S, College Station
Coffee: Specialty single origin, some blends available too
Seating: Located in a small warehouse, WTB is designed for in-and-out type purchases. You might find yourself there for longer if you get the opportunity to talk to the owner, Rodrigo Chavez. He has a wealth of coffee knowledge and is always willing to share that with fellow coffee enthusiasts.
Crowd: There can be a line, but never more than a 5 minute wait.
Atmosphere: If you happen to catch Rodrigo or Agusto roasting, you’ll hear the churning of the Probat or Toper. Regardless, if you spend 1 minute or an hour at What’s the Buzz, you’ll leave smelling of fresh roasted beans.
Internet: Not available
Location: 101 N Main St, Bryan
Coffee: Amaya coffee; their Chemex and Kone are high quality!
Seating: Really cool rustic-looking wood tables, both 4-person and 2-person. The 4-person tables are perfect for two people to study at.
Crowd: Lots of Bryan locals and many college students. During the school year it can get swamped; early morning and late evening are the best times.
Atmosphere: We call it Homey Hipster. They always have great music playing. The lighting is sort of low but you get natural light, so it feels warm. The soft brown and red tones of the tables and exposed brick make you want to sit by a fire and sip some Joe.
The staff are always AMAZING! I’ve never met a Harvest employee I didn’t like.
Internet: There's a regular and a 5G network; may be spotty when crowded
Location: 4121 Texas 6 Frontage Road, College Station
Coffee: Avoca Coffee (Ft. Worth Texas)
Seating: Large tables and a few comfy chairs. Gogh Gogh is one of the best kept secrets here. Plenty of room to sprawl out and study. Mum's the word!
Crowd: Students to professionals
Atmosphere: Industrial Chic
Internet: Available upon request
Location: 4114 Lake Atlas Drive, Bryan
Coffee: Independence Coffee
Seating: They have a variety of seating from a large table that sits about 20 if you have some serious studying to do or quirky chairs to sip in and enjoy the view.
Crowd: POV is the newest addition to the coffee shops in the area and was quickly discovered by college students. The variety of seating makes it good for club events or casual hangouts with friends. Despite there being a lot of seating, it can still become crowded with studying students during midterms or finals.
Atmosphere: The open layout paired with the full length windows makes POV a great place to study if you are in need of some sunlight. It is a warm and friendly environment, no doubt much of that radiates from the baristas.
Internet: Reliable and always available, check your receipt for the password
Location: 424 Northpoint Crossing, Suite 1700, College Station
Coffee: Cafe Molinari

Atmosphere: Sweet’s is very relaxed and eclectic, providing the most Central Perk vibe available in College Station.
