The snow outside is piling up and the cold has made it increasingly hard to roll out of bed in time for your 9:10. As you shuffle through the snow on your way across campus, the urge for coffee can sometimes be overwhelming. Warm and caffeinated– what could be better on a dreary morning? And when watered-down Peirce coffee just doesnât do it for you, thereâs only one logical place to go: Wiggin Street Coffee . Located right between North and South campus, itâs quite literally the middle ground of Kenyon, and has plenty of options for your every caffeine need. But have you ever wondered what your preferred drink says about you?
Black CoffeeYour view of the world is dreary. Life is nothing but an abyss. Ok maybe not quite, but broodiness aside, you drink coffee for the taste and the experience,  not just for the caffeine kick  (well, what did you expect? You do go to Kenyon, after allâŠ). You donât enjoy artificial tastes â or people â and honesty is one of your best qualities.
Frozen/Iced LatteYouâre a chill (ha!) person who likes to keep things simple. Drama really isnât your thing. You know what else isnât your âthingâ? Getting your tongue burned from consuming scalding coffee. Also, if you keep drinking this during the winter then youâre probably incredibly stubborn. Have fun in the below zero February weather with your Iced Chai!
Hot ChocolateOkay, so this one isnât necessarily caffeinated, but itâs still really warm and it tends to be a favorite during the snowy season. Drinking hot chocolate shows that you find comfort in the things you know best, and sometimes you find it hard to adapt to change. But you also might just be a normal human being…who doesnât like chocolate?
Chai Tea LatteYou want the best of both worlds: tea with latte fixings You enjoy the mellowness of the steamed milk and cinnamon sprinkle partnered with the zing of the chai. You have a reserved personality on the outside but youâre much more complex than you may appear on first glance, especially if you trust people and let them in to find out what youâre really like.
The Specials (Gingerbread Latte, Pumpkin White Mocha, Eggnog Latte, Honey Mocha, etc.)Youâre intrigued by new ideas and have a mild sense of adventure. Youâre not afraid to take peopleâs advice and take risks, even if it costs you a few extra dollars.
Seriously though, all of these drinks are absolutely delicious, no matter which oneâs your favorite. At the end of the day what Wiggins Street Coffee says about us is that weâre all Kenyon students just trying to make it through the chilly Arctic Freeze and get to our classes.
