Customer Reviews
Front Room is usually alright. Drinks are mostly made right however, LOTS of ice and little product. Pricier than regular Starbucks. Service varies. You either get somebody super nice or someone who looks like they wanna crash out. Despite that, Front Room excels with its lighting and decor. Dim lighting is great on eyes and very aesthetically pleasing. Good central location and decent beverages but note the ice amount.
Very nice place to study as the lighting isn't too much and there usually isn't too much noise. The service is usually way overwhelmed which I don't blame them for but what does OU expect with only 2 Starbucks serving shops halfway across campus from each other. Amazing if you had flex or bobcat cash otherwise I'd prefer local places.
Great coffee and great location. So many places to eat and drink in Athens but this one is a must. The staff is friendly and the service is fast. Convenient location right on court street. I always stop there for a visit when I see my daughter at school. I would reccomend this place.
Place is pretty good considering the staff is 100% student workforce, which leaves some room for improvement at times. Avoid the place 5" before OU classes change until about 10" after the next classes start, cause the wait can be long. Counter help if always friendly if not overly adept at handling real money (i.e., cash). I go there frequently and it is not rare that they'll have run out of cream or Splenda, and sometimes don't have brewed coffee ready. On some instances the staff has just substituted a different roast without checking, or worse yet, taken a tap from a still-brewing carafe (can you say "strong coffee"?). All in all not a bad place but be sure you get what you want, and what you expect.
The Front Room is the coffeehouse found on the 4th floor of Baker Center at OU. It was recently revamped so it looks very modern and nice inside. It is usually clean and the staff are friendly. They walls are covered with photography and artwork done by the students and the community. It is a nice place to have a coffee or other beverage of your choice and to do some work or to attend an event.
