You don’t have to go far to find coffee on Penn’s campus — there’s the Starbucks on 34th, the other Starbucks on 34th, Saxby’s on 40th, Dunkin’ Donuts and seemingly dozens of other cafes waiting to take your hard-earned cash. Each has a crowd of devotees, but when it comes down to it, Williams Café is the perennial favorite for a between-classes latté. Not to mention Williams gladly takes your parents’ dough in the form of Bursar (or PennCash). Fresh sandwiches, bagels and flaky croissants await you, with salads and a great selection of juices rounding out the line-up.
Williams attracts just about everyone, from Whartonites trying to fulfill their language requirement, foreign grad students taking a break from grading or the greek crowd looking to see and be seen. Want to stop by and look like a regular? We recommend a double espresso and a chocolate croissant.
