Last Drop Coffee Shop feature in FoodService Director Magazine

Full Story Here

Last Drop Coffee Shop was featured in FoodService Director Magazine for it’s unique vibe. 

 ”Coffee shops on college campuses are now a well-known entity. The aesthetics are usually of the Starbucks-inspired variety—warm colors, comfy seating and dim lighting. Not the case with 12,700-student Vanderbilt University’s year-old Last Drop Coffee Shop, located in the Sarratt Student Center. Camp Howard, director of dining, says he wanted to create a distinctly different experience with the location.”
