Aimee’s Café And Coffeehouse, 1025 Massachusetts St.

Aimee’s Café And Coffeehouse, 1025 Massachusetts St., is more than your average grab-it-and-go coffee shop. Not only is the coffee tasty, but Aimee’s also serves a moderate variety of breakfast and lunch items. Drinks and food are well-priced, ranging from about $3-$8. The atmosphere is homey: You can relax with friends on the plush couches, do homework and surf the Web for free, catch performances from local musicians or listen to writers share their work on open mic nights. Aimee’s also hosts free chess nights every Wednesday at 7 p.m., open to players of all ages and skill levels. Employee Travis Mitchell, Topeka senior, says Aimee’s is the perfect spot for college students because the food prices won’t break the bank, and the environment is conducive for studying.
