Places run by people, near enough to walk to, that give students something. Nobody pays to be here — we write about where we actually go, and we say so when a business gives us something.

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 what she wishes students knew. “That you can sit here all day and nobody will ask you to leave. People think there’s a rule. There isn’t.”
