Slowly, begrudgingly, we allow ourselves to realize a new semester is upon us. For many students, the zombie-like jaunt to classes starting just after the break of dawn seems daunting. For others, those long, sleepless nights spent crafting papers and cramming for tests are once again becoming a frightening reality.
When it feels as if your motivation has peaked and subsequently plummeted, you may want to stop at Scooter’s Coffeehouse Drive Thru, Ninth and Iowa streets just behind Zarco 66.
A new stop for anything from coffee to smoothies to tea has made its debut at Ninth and Iowa streets. Scooter’s Coffeehouse Drive Thru provides its consumers with energy, says manager Steve Martin.
From coffee to smoothies (piping hot to finger-numbing cold), hot chocolate to iced tea, Forbidden Fruit to Mocha, Scooter’s has a seemingly endless array of choices to satisfy that mid-morning hunger pang or late-night caffeine craving. Scooter’s is open 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday.
A recent excursion through Scooter’s yielded a 16-ounce iced latte and a 16-ounce Caramelicious smoothie for $7.08.
Scooter’s manager Steve Martin says the coffee shop works hard to satisfy its customers’ needs.
“Our coffee definitely provides our consumers with energy,” Martin says. “Energy to work, energy to study or energy to do whatever it is they need to get done.”
The store’s proximity to campus also makes Scooter’s appealing to students, Scooter’s employee Katy Poff says.
“It’s so much easier for students to come by here when it’s so close to them,” Poff says, “rather than driving all the way downtown to shop at Starbucks or another coffee house.”
