Dear Hastings College students, faculty, and staff,

I would like to express how extremely grateful and excited I am for the opportunity to serve the student body this coming school year.

Students were asked to name their favorite flavor of Eileen’s cookie, leading up to the premier of Part 2 when we get the scoop on Eileen’s Colossal Cookies from Eileen Harman herself.

Crimson Cup Coffee Shop

November 14, 2012 by 2 Comments

The Crimson Cup is a coffee shop located inside Hazelrigg Student Union, opposite to the Bronco Bookstor

“It offers really cheap coffee for them (students), a great place to study and hangout. It’s a great environment,” said student manager Chloe Ekberg.

A plain cup of coffee ranges anywhere from sixty-five cents to eighty cents, with tea priced at forty cents a cup and specialty drinks and smoothies priced at $1.50. This is very inexpensive compared to places such as Starbucks. The Crimson Cup has all the same special syrups as Starbucks like Vanilla and Hazelnut. You can even get a Caramel Macchiato.

“You go to Starbucks and it’s like five dollars for one cup of coffee. Here you can get almost five cups of coffee for that price,” said Ekberg. [Read more...]
