    The Coffee Shop is open 9 am to 5 pm every day during term time.  It serves tea, coffee, hot chocolate, pannini, and a variety of snacks.  Once again, it's run by the JCR, so you can easily influence what it serves.  Open mike nights are often held in the Coffee Shop during term, which allows people to perform songs to an appreciative audience.
