Casey's Coffee & Sandwiches

Tucked near UMD in College Park, Casey's draws a steady crowd of students and visitors looking for solid coffee and a welcoming spot to settle in. Reviewers rave about everything from a raspberry oat milk latte and an iced caramel latte with almond milk to a medium Colombian and dark roast, plus sandwiches, bagels, and salads that hit the spot. The space is clean and casual with a diner feel, roomy enough to get some work done while the big windows let the light pour in.

The vibe is friendly and quick, with staff who many find fast, polite, and accommodating. A few regulars note that it has long been one of the more affordable places in the area for a great sandwich and good coffee, though some feel prices have crept up. One thing to keep in mind: summer hours differ from the school year and may not match Google, and closing time tends to be firm, so plan accordingly.
