DCC Cafe
15th St, Troy, NY
Crema's Take
“Tucked inside the DCC/CII building at RPI, this cafe has become the go-to spot for students darting between classes, thanks to quick service (usually 5 minutes or less) and genuinely warm staff who seem to actually care. While they stick largely to Starbucks coffee and familiar cafe fare, it's the convenient location and no-fuss breakfast offerings that make it feel less like a corporate chain and more like an essential campus refuge. It's the kind of place where you can grab a solid coffee and light bite, settle in with your laptop, and actually feel like you belong there.”

DCC cafe is conveniently located in the DCC/CII building for RPI students and staff. Great coffee and light breakfast. The menu is very similar to Starbucks
It’s basically a Starbucks, so they sell most of the same things as a Starbucks. However, they’re not the exact same as a Starbucks, so you won’t get free water like you would at an actual Starbucks. But if you’re paying it’s basically the same as a real Starbucks.
Staff are wonderful and they have good drinks :) convenient location for students to get food before class
I like stopping here between class breaks to get breakfast if I had a late morning. Food is prepared quickly (usually within 5 minutes of ordering), the wait time is usually short, the coffee is good, and service is friendly. Also, the Cafe is located within a college building, so it's only accessible to RPI students.
Very epic place to stop at in-between classes. The coffee is decent, and they serve Starbucks coffee so there's that for you Starbucks nerds. They also serve other general drinks like water and soda. Feel free to buy snacks and have some pasteries, they're usually okay. The waits never that long so that's pretty epic. Wish they had more seating, but not much they can do about that. Also, tell them Fabulous Walrus sent you to get a discount.
