Common Inquiries
Does Ristretto Lounge offer internet?
Yes! Internet access is free.
Complementary WiFi service is provided for all Ristretto Lounge customers. All we request is if you are planning on staying a while to use our tables and space, that you continue your support by making purchases with us every two hours.Is Ristretto Lounge good for studying and doing work?
Yes! We're perfect for that.
Our café is very open, and is designed to be conducive to a warm, bright, and relaxing atmosphere. We offer an arrangement of different work areas, including individual standing desks, and personal and group tables all positioned around outlets so you won’t have to worry about finding a charging spot. The café is located on the ground floor and has music playing along with all the white noise you'd expect from a traditional coffee shop. If peace and quiet are more your desire however, the upper floor provides a subdued atmosphere with a panoramic view of our café below.Can drinks be made in Personal Cups?
Yes! Personal cups are highly encouraged and incentivized with a discount.
Get 50¢ off your purchase price for each personal cup or mug that you plan to use. We'll make sure that the mug is completely clean before use, and we'd be happy to sanitize it for you after.Is there on-premise parking?

Unfortunately not.
However, we do appreciate you choosing to make Ristretto Lounge a part of your day, and we understand that you may get hungry sometimes while hanging or studying here. Our menu consists of a vast selection of food and dessert — including but not limited to protein-packed eats, bagels, baked goods, pastries, and Korean shaved ice. If none of these options work for you, and you would rather bring food or beverages from elsewhere, we kindly request that you consume your items outside — either on our patio, or the field in the back. Otherwise, see our menu for in-house food options.What payment methods are accepted here?
