Hillside Espresso provides a new place to eat, relax, and study

WSU Dining Services has opened Hillside Espresso, a new coffee shop on the Pullman campus where faculty, staff, and students can grab a bite to eat, get coffee, and socialize.

Hillside Espresso is open 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Monday–Friday (10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on weekends) and is located next to the Hillside Café and across the street from the Chinook Student Center. It offers a variety of breakfast items, grab-and-go food, and freshly baked goods from the campus bake shop. It also serves Thomas Hammer espresso and is one of the few places on campus to get Lotus energy drinks.

The newly renovated space features a large wall graphic representing scenes from campus and the Palouse, as well as seating for about 24 people. Faculty and staff are encouraged to enjoy Hillside Espresso’s small-town coffee shop feel and specialized products.
