If you are looking for great tasting, and inexpensive coffee near the URI campus, then head over to Brewed Awakenings in South County Commons.
Brewed offers college students a cheap alternative to overpriced java, with a medium coffee setting you back less than $3.
The coffee is delicious and Brewed offers a wide variety of flavors. Currently, their seasonal flavor is chocolate raspberry, which according to everyone on campus carrying a Brewed cup, is a hit.
My all-time favorite flavors offered at Brewed are French Vanilla and Snickerdoodle. Brewed coffee also has no calories, unlike flavored coffee syrups. If you are looking for another caffeinated pick-me-up, they offer a wide variety of iced teas as well, including Green Tea, Pomegranate tea, and Peach Ginger. I recommend mixing the Green tea with a bit of Pomegranate it’s a tasty cold treat with a bit of caffeine in it to help keep you going.
Another good thing about Brewed Awakenings is it’s close by and when you’re in for a long night of studying, if the coffee and tea doesn’t keep you up the company will. Brewed is always packed with like-minded students who are looking to perk up while hitting the books.
Brewed is also located in Johnston, RI so no matter what end of the state you are on, you can stay alert.
