Quick place to grab a cup of coffee and a snack. They have a limited selection of sandwiches and lunch items at a great price! Good place to head to during class breaks. The line can be long but it moves quickly!

Probably one of the cheapest and best coffee places in the world. Enjoy a coffee with a klägg here for only 10sek. Make sure to notice the coffee macchines names and that the workers change from day to day. usualy the workers get to play their music during their working day. This allows for different styles everyday. This is the place you want to be at when studying at liu. All partys are anounced here first and the coolest cats on uni hang around or work in the cafe.
