September spotlight
Ceci’s Coffee has been quietly feeding UTA students for nine years
Ceci opened three blocks from campus in 2016 and still writes the specials on a chalkboard herself. Students get a dollar off any drink, and if you show up with a laptop after 8pm she’ll usually top off your cup for free. We asked her what she wishes students knew.
