5 Student Friendly Cafés

Coffee has always been my closest companion as a student, from early morning classes to late-night homework. Here is my selection of 5 reasonably priced cafés that you may enjoy as a student to study comfortably, rather than being cooped up at home, in light of the expanding coffee culture and the opening of cosy cafés throughout the city.

Almost every conversation usually starts with ‘wanna grab a cup of coffee’, whether it’s a date or a mate. We love our coffee here in Adelaide with local cafés and coffee shops in every suburb.

Seven Grounds

$ Prices are around 8.5- 25.5 depending on the choice of food. Unit 1/28a Hawker St, Brompton SA 5007

A lovely rustic café serving brunch with an influence of Asian cuisine is hidden away in Bowden. The café is only ten minutes from the city, and there are bus stops close by for students using public transportation. Depending on your mood, Seven Grounds provides a variety of coffee styles; from robust pour-overs to delicate batch brews. Ideal if you want to sample various coffee brewing techniques! Even though the café appears to be extremely crowded and fast-paced, there is always comfy seating available, where you may unwind and work. Every time I’ve been here, there is already someone hunched over a huge cup, eyes glued to their device, and typing intently.

The food options at Seven Ground are pretty enticing. The chef’s colourful, inventive presentation makes you hungry just by looking at the meal. All of the meals offered are wonderful, but in particular, the French toast sticks out. With some freshly made matcha custard, they make french toast with taro coating.
