Coffee at Rice University

#campuslife

Do you like coffee? If so, Rice's campus is the place for you! Learn more about student's favorite places to grab some fuel as they study. 

We surveyed over 100 students at Rice University to learn more about the different options they enjoy when they want to pick up coffee or another beverage. Whether it's meeting up to talk over club activities or grabbing a warm drink as a pick-me-up during long study sessions in the winter, our Owls know exactly where to head. Students can even buy their study fuel using Tetra, which is on-campus currency that comes standard with most on-campus meal plans. Plus, most of the places listed offer more than just coffee, with many serving a variety of different teas and non-caffeinated drinks.

Watch the video to see what was ranked in the top five places to get coffee on campus.

Coming to campus soon? All of the places on our list except the serveries serve to the public as well! Try one out and see what you think the next time you come for a visit.

    Experiencing Rice Orientation Week from Both Sides

    When I (Phoebe S., Hanszen ‘28) first arrived at Hanszen College for O-Week, I didn't expect to make new friends on my very first day! But fast forward a year later, and I found myself serving as an O-Week Coordinator on the other side of orientation. O-Week is a key part of how community is built at Rice, and setting the tone for a new class of Owls was truly a full-circle experience!

    Finding My STEM Community at the SASE National Conference

    Representing Rice on a national stage is always amazing, but heading to the SASE National Conference in Seattle felt extra special because it marked a huge milestone five years in the making! As Internal Vice President of Rice SASE, I (Gayla G., Sid Richardson ‘29) had a front-row seat as our chapter connected classroom theory with real-world engineering in real time. Here’s a look inside our experience and the community we are building on campus.

    How I Knew Rice was Home

    If you’d told high school me that a single campus visit would overrule my neatly coded college spreadsheet, I (Lucy C., Lovett ‘29) never would’ve believed you! But looking back on Owl Days 2025 at Rice, that warm afternoon wasn’t just another stop on the tour — it was the moment I found my home.
