OK, if CUPS (thank you, Linda and Jonna) did not exist, many, many UCSD employees like me would be monsters. Trust me on this one.
For some odd reason, UCSD doesn't have an on-campus Starbucks (which is good, if you do not support the Walmartization of coffee). Bad for Starbucks, good for Linda and Jonna, co-owners of the franchise, CUPS. I first encountered CUPS last year when I was running to a class in Warren College, and I bumped into the CUPS cart near the Jacobs School of Engineering. Their coffee actually tastes better than Starbucks, because it doesn't have that aftertaste that Starbucks tends to have (I shouldn't say that--a former CUPS employee, and friend of mine, now works for Starbucks). While they don't serve frapuccinos (I was schooled by one of their baristas--Starbucks has copyrighted the word, frapuccino), they do serve pretty good blended drinks.
Cheaper than Starbucks, and their coffee is on-par with Coffee Bean (which, I think, is better than Starbucks).

Just ask any student wherever you are on campus. Even if you're at the hospital in Hillcrest, at Torrey Pines North, at SIO on La Jolla Shores, or at upper campus--you'll find a CUPS!
