I used to spend a lot of time hanging out with friends or reading at the Grove Cafe, where I had my first Cafe Mocha my freshman year and quickly became a coffee junkie. There was nothing better on one of those damp, foggy La Jolla mornings than to curl up with a good book and a giant cup of coffee at the Grove. Oftentimes when I'm cooped up inside my office all day long, I wish I could be back there -- shivering a little bit (since it was always 10 degrees colder there than anywhere else on campus!), sporting a good caffeine buzz, and listening to the random music from people playing drums and other assorted instruments at the Hump. Ah, such a sweeter time that was... I now get the shakes from just one cup of coffee.
