College is hard… and exhausting. Luckily for you, an intrepid student of YSU, campus has some amazing coffee shops to help take your mind off classes and get your caffeine fix. Here’s our list of on and off campus favorites to get you through this semester.

Pressed Coffee Bar and Eatery

A welcoming and comfortable atmosphere built in an old home on Lincoln Avenue across from Cushwa Hall. Pressed serves hot and cold coffee sourced from all over the world, as well as an all-day breakfast menu with avocado toast, frittatas and gourmet waffles.

Stone Fruit Coffee Company

Featuring a warm and laid back vibe with incredible customer service, Stone Fruit is a great place to stop between classes to decompress. Located on Lincoln Avenue across from Moser Hall.

Culturehouse Coffee Company

Enjoy the gorgeous natural light and throwback decor of Culturehouse while sipping on a delicious gourmet espresso, pour over or cold brew. Culturehouse is a major part of the revitalization of Elm Street just north of Campus and is a must visit for a small break from campus life.

Joe Maxx Coffee Company (Honorable Mention)

While not located on campus, Joe Maxx was one of the first local coffee shops in Youngstown. Located on West Federal Street, on the campus of the Youngstown Business Incubator, Joe Maxx is a great stop to experience city living and rub elbows with the tech founders and inventors of the YBI.

If you get a chance to check out one of these shops we’d love to see it! Tag @pebbledotmedia and use #ysucoffee to be featured in our Welcome Week story.
