Casey's Coffee & Sandwiches

Casey’s Coffee & Sandwiches sits right on Campus Drive in College Park, making it a natural pit stop for students and locals wanting a straightforward, no-frills caffeine boost alongside a solid sandwich. The café atmosphere leans practical and relaxed—ideal for grabbing a quick bite between classes or settling in for a few hours of study. Its compact space is clean and well-kept, with friendly staff who seem to know the morning rush and keep things moving smoothly.

One of the standout items around here is the chai tea latte, which locals seem to favor, especially those who appreciate a well-spiced, smooth drink. While the price might feel a bit on the higher side, many find it worth it for the quality and flavor, especially if you prefer plant milk options like oat or soy. Coffee options range from classic espresso drinks to dark roasts, and the freshness of the brew often gets a nod from regulars. The service tends to be attentive enough to let you know when the coffee was just made, which adds a reassuring touch for coffee purists.

Besides drinks, Casey’s offers a simple but satisfying menu of sandwiches, salads, and combos like the sandwich and cookie duo or a sandwich with a salad, enough to fuel you without fuss. The food here hits well for an affordable price in a college town where budget-friendly fast eats can be scarce. Favorites like the lox bagel and green smoothies add some variety, making it a spot that’s as much about convenience as it is about decent, straightforward staple fare.

Best times to visit tend to be mid-mornings or early afternoons when the café quiets just enough to spread out your notes or laptop. The vibe is casual but busier during class breaks and afternoon pick-me-up hours. Its location near campus means the clientele is mostly students and university staff, making for a low-key but lively environment where you can hear the hum of nearby conversations without it being overwhelming.

Overall, Casey’s works well as a functional café for routine stops—a place where the quality of coffee, efficiency in service, and a no-nonsense food menu all come together. If you want a spot to get some work done, sip a carefully made chai tea latte, or grab a solid sandwich without venturing far from campus, this is a practical choice that fits the College Park rhythm.
