Finding the perfect study spot is key to academic success. While our own study lounges are a great option, sometimes a change of scenery—and a great cup of coffee—is needed to stay motivated. Clemson has a fantastic selection of local coffee shops, and we’re excited to share a few of our residents’ favorite spots to hit the books.
All In Coffee Shop
For a true taste of local Clemson spirit, we recommend All In Coffee Shop. It has a vibrant yet productive atmosphere that’s perfect for both individual and group study sessions. We love their creative specialty lattes and the ample seating available. It’s a community-focused spot where you can settle in with your laptop and feel right at home.
Spill the Beans
Located right in the heart of downtown, Spill the Beans is a go-to for many students. The combination of delicious, custom-blended frozen yogurt and freshly roasted coffee makes it a unique place to study. We find its cozy, relaxed vibe is great for long reading sessions, and the friendly staff always makes you feel welcome to stay a while.
Moe Joe Coffee Company
Moe Joe Coffee is a fantastic choice if you need a serious caffeine boost to power through your work. Known for its high-quality, potent coffee and espresso drinks, this spot is designed for focus. We appreciate the plentiful seating and reliable Wi-Fi, making it a dependable place to tackle a big project or cram for an upcoming exam.
Watt Center Café
When you need an on-campus spot, we suggest the “356” café inside the Watt Family Innovation Center. It offers convenience and a modern, tech-forward environment. Being surrounded by the innovative energy of the Watt Center is incredibly motivating. It’s the perfect place to grab a coffee between classes and finalize an assignment without having to go far.
Finding your go-to study haven can make a huge difference in your college life. Whether it’s one of these great local cafes or the quiet of your own room, having the right environment is everything. At Dockside Clemson, we offer dedicated study lounges to help you succeed. Learn more about our student-focused amenities today!
