Arsaga's

The coffee shop Arsaga’s, in the Law Building on campus, is a destination of solitude. The scent of coffee instantly enters your nose as you walk in, for a sweet aroma of beans. The coffee machine grinds giving off a loud roar of crackles. The streamer gurgles silencing the sound of people turning on their daily papers. There is mixture of sounds, loud ones and even the distasteful ones, that still give off a calming essence. The lay out of the shop gives for both group and single seating areas. The seats are a mesh of different colors the golden beige to olive green to the black leather ones that surround a cylinder wooden table, with notches cut out at the bottom to put one’s feet up. The wall of windows allows for maximum amount of light to be let in and an on going amusement of a vast variety of different people pass by clueless of the people looking at them from the window.
The people in this little coffee shop are as different as the people walking outside of it. They sip their coffee usually entrenched in what ever tale they are reading about, or whatever song they are listening to on their iPod/MP3 players. The delight of a morning snack and a burst of energy from a cup swallows away the sleep in their minds. In this place people get a break from the stress of the night before and the day to come. It doesn’t matter the distractions the mood stays constant and uplifting. Argaga’s coffee shop seems to be a place of serenity for the Law students of the University of Arkansas.
