There are many great places to study around the Twin Cities. I have found that I can study best with a cup of coffee in hand, so I decided to check out some new places around the cities. There are also many coffee shops that have great food for those times you need to spend hours in a location working on homework.
(I have also learned in my time at the U that I cannot study in Dinkytown or on campus because I search for people that I know to talk to instead of doing my work.)
So these are a few locations off campus that I have found to have a great studying atmosphere.
The Hardtimes (West Bank)
Great Vegan/Vegetarian food (sometimes gluten free baked goods!), cheap coffee and a cool atmosphere. And open almost twenty four hours a day! One of my favorites.
Wilde Roast Cafe (Stone Arch area)
Beautiful interior, good coffee and food.
Diamonds Coffee Shoppe (Northeast)
Bottomless coffee for around $2.50. Need I say more?
Plan B (Uptown)
Once again, tasty food and good coffee. Chill atmosphere. Another one of my favorites.
Shish (Grand Ave, St. Paul)
Amazing sweet potato fries (which are my favorite) and great Turkish coffee!
The Coffee Grounds (St. Paul)
Went here for some live music and loved it. Could be a great place to study and only a few miles from the St. Paul campus.
There are many others, but I figured I would start with a few places I love. I will update this if I find more spots!
