LAWRENCE, Kan.- Massachusetts street is more widely known for it's bar and restaurant scene, but when there is a need to study or just relax there is Java Break. Java Break is a 24-hour coffee shop that is frequented by a wide array of patrons. Sophomore Rebecca Fitzgerald credits a friend for finding out about
Java Break.
"I found this place last year when a girl in my dorm and I were studying for chemistry. We got a lot done and I kept coming back to study or read especially during finals."
Java break not only has cheap coffee and free Internet but a great atmosphere that creates a group of regulars, and those regulars all agree that a string of drunks would ruin that atmosphere. Kelsey Huff frequents Java Break with her friends usually later in the night.
"It's really unusual for people to come here after the bars, but I have seen the employees having to kick a group of wasted homeless guys out. It really wouldn't be the same if everyone flocked here after a night of drinking on Mass."
There is plenty Java Break has to offer besides a cheap cup of Joe. It is a great hang out spot to people watch or to get work done, and a great alternative to the bars.
