Dreamer coffee shop now open near campus
Groggy mornings and lazy afternoons have a new nemesis as the Dreamer Coffee Shop opened its doors on Tuesday.
The new coffee shop is located at 1027 S. Franklin St. and general manager Rebecca Liu is more excited than ever.
“Within a couple of minutes of signing the final papers this morning, we had our first customers,” she said. “Everyone has said that it looked so different but very cool. I was so happy to hear about that.”
The coffee house offers students a new experience compared to other popular coffee chains. Serving high quality coffee from all over the globe, Liu hopes to see students experience a different taste in coffee.
“We don’t carry many syrups here on purpose so our customers can really taste the flavor of the coffee,” she said. “I hope people can feel the difference.”
The Dreamer Coffee Shop serves MadCap coffee, a Grand Rapids based brand that many students have become addicted to. Worker and Dearborn senior, Marie Wolski, said that this shop brings a new atmosphere to students at CMU.
“I feel like this place is something that we need in Mount Pleasant,” she said. “It’s open and very relaxing. I feel like it’s something that we don’t experience here.”
The Dreamer Coffee Shop hopes to give students a relaxed experience for studying and meeting up with friends. Worker and Morley sophomore Eliza McGowan-Stinski talked about how the bright environment is perfect for students to study and work on homework.
“It’s very open in here,” she said. “It’s such a great place to do homework. You can have group meetings in here, use the Wi-Fi and study for hours at a time.”
Customers have been flowing into the coffee shop frequently and have already grown attached to the new and inviting atmosphere. CMU graduate Tommy Zylka has already made The Dreamer Coffee Shop one of his favorites.
“I really like MadCap coffee, the fact that they serve MadCap is a big plus for me, also this place has the most comfortable coffee shop chairs that I have sat in in awhile,” he said.
The Dreamer Coffee Shop is open from 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday-Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 12 p.m. to 9 p.m Sunday.
