Excellent Service!
There was a slightly screw up on my order. I originally told them not to worry about it. But the owner was worried he went above & beyond. When most people would go 100% he went double. To make sure customers satisfaction. Knew that I had to walk across campus. Gave me a box to carry it all in that came in handy.
Well worth the screw up delicious food. Highly recommend when your looking to eat off campus.

Love the Purple Onion's commitment to preserving the environment and supporting local business. Wide selection of food and coffee. Cost atmosphere, tons of windows for a connection to the outdoors. Great place adjacent to campus to study and meet with friends.

Ive been to the Purple Onion a handful of times and it just struck me today how much I appreciate it. You will not find better quality food for the same price anywhere else near campu . A warm tuna melt with fries and a large vanilla coffee for 12 dollars flat is something that should not be taken for granted. The staff is friendly and there is plenty of room to meet with friends or hide in a corner to study. 12/10 would recommend.

today was my first time at purple onion, and i really enjoyed it! the employee who helped me was really friendly, which is always a plus. i got a tea to start out and later got a quesadilla, and i thought they were both reasonably priced for a rather trendy cafe. i mostly just camped out for a few hours doing work, but the space was really nice and clean and i had no trouble finding a seat.

With a beautiful patio and awesome food this place is amazing and shouldn’t be overlooked. The Tuna sandwich and Mexican veggie sandwich with Cajun fries was amazing. Will definitely visit again.

I was a fan of this place back when it was in the old location with Bob Dylan up on the wall.
The new location has great tables for reading and studying and well situated. They have a huge menu of every coffee you can imagine including their great cold press.
The staff is very friendly.

It's a decent place to sit down and work or have a conversation. While there, I ordered a hot chocolate. It was as expected, nothing too extravagant. I am not the type of person to spend many hours in coffee shops, so my stay was sufficient. All in all I would recommend in most cases.

This wonderful cafe has been here forever and it always is buzzing with people! Perhaps some might not like it because of this but personally I love the lively atmosphere because there is plenty of space all around. Amazing dark roast, lattes, mochas, etc. They do it all! And they have icecream and the kitchen open until 2pm. Great food and sandwiches as well!

The food was pretty good! I got the all American breakfast. The bacon was great! The potatoes were a bit undercooked, but I kinda like them that way so it was no problem. All my friends really loved their food too and said the coffee was amazing. My only problem was with the hot coco, which just tasted like milky water. Absolutely no flavor.
