Cargo Coffee is a privately-owned business that operates three coffee stands on campus. Each of the kiosks offers several kinds of drip coffee and tea (at a discount if your bring your own mug), the usual espresso drinks, fruit juices, as well as smoothies and frozen/blended espresso drinks. Coffee beans are organic and fair trade from
Grounds for Change. They also carry an assortment of breakfast pastries, bagels, and quiche, supplied from
Bella Bru Cafe in Sacramento. Soup is served in colder weather.
Cargo Coffee is not run by Sodexho; it is instead a sub-contractor (similar to La Crepe in the Silo). The man who owns the kiosk pays a hefty premium to Sodexho for the privilege of having his business within 'their' domain. Cargo Coffee changed ownership in December 2005.
The opening of Sodexho's Bio Brew in the Sciences Laboratory Buildings forced the long time Cargo Coffee location in front of Kleiber Hall to close. This location relocated to Engineering III on January 1, 2006.
Note posted Spring 2009 regarding their contract at the King Hall location

2008-06-07 00:29:09 I totally agree. I think the CoHo coffee tastes gross and burnt and I will only drink if I have to. And whenever I get Silo coffee it's always a lot less hot than it would be anywhere else you get coffee. I always to try to plan ahead and go to Cargo Coffee when I need it. —OscarSabino
