0 | The coffee here is atrocious. My \"latte\" looks like someone took the government-funded chocolate milk we were fed as kids, and cut it with chalk-water.

2 | Tried some coffee here and it was alright. It's an alternative to Starbucks, but there isn't really anything here that makes it different from Starbucks in my opinion.

0 | This place is as expensive as Starbucks coffee. The only difference is at Espresso Royal, you get a lower quality cup. With the Starbucks right down the street it is not worth going here.

3 | Great subs. I find that cold sub places around campus tend to be very mediocre (looking at you, Jimmy John's), but Silver Mine does them well.
