The C-Shop
Every Wednesday, students, faculty, and staff cram into the Reynolds Club first-floor coffee shop, decorated with framed photos of Chicago's past, to enjoy Shake Day-when the frothy beverage is sold for $1. Also offered is "The Flow," free performances showcasing student talent.

2nd Floor Coffee Shop
Upstairs from the C-Shop and open until 2 a.m., this Reynolds Club hangout features take-out from Hyde Park restaurants, most notably a late-evening delivery of burritos from Maravilla's. Patrons can relax with billiards, foosball, or television: during The Simpsons, sodas and candy are half-price.

Cobb Coffee Shop
For a quick caffeine fix, students head to Cobb's basement coffee shop. With 50-cent bagels and 16-ounce cups of coffee going for a paltry 70 cents, the Cobb Coffee Shop is among the less expensive on-campus dining options.

Divinity School Coffee Shop
The fare is mostly standard, but the Swift Hall eatery has its own T-shirt: "Where God Drinks Coffee." At lunch, undergrads in search of a relatively cheap lunch queue with ordained ministers who teach at the Div School for Hyde Park comestibles and canned natural juices. Sparse seating means that many opt to eat their purchases al fresco on the quads.

Classics Coffee Shop
For languishing over a tall café mocha while debating the finer points of The Nichomachean Ethics, there's the Classics Coffee Shop. Besides java-based refreshments, the shop (on the second floor of the building of the same name) offers light lunch fare. -A.S.
