Jazzman's Looks to Make Students Less Stressed

Milne Library on SUNY Oneonta Campus

Jazzman’s Café has been operating at the Milne Library at the SUNY Oneonta campus for as long as I’ve attended the school and a long time before then.  The main menu item that the students enjoy is a smooth, rich coffee.  Along with their coffee they also offer customers a wide variety of food which includes sandwiches, hot-pressed panini's, fresh soups and garden salads.  And on the few warm days that SUNY Oneonta experiences students enjoy real fruit smoothies from there also.  Jazzman’s serves as the perfect spot for everything from a heathly lunch to a delicious and energizing snack for all of the students studying and working.

Many of the employees at Jazzman’s are also students so they know how hard working the students at SUNY Oneonta are and how much they can help by selling coffee and food to them.  They also know that being kind and friendly to them can make someone’s day so much better.

“I know many of the students that come in can be stressed about school or something else so I always try to make their day better even if it’s just for the couple seconds while they are ordering or waiting for their food or drinks” said Kelsey Schneider who is one of the many student employees at working at Jazzman’s. “I know many of the students who are ordering are coming from the library or on their way there so it makes me happy to try to help them feel a little less stressed also.”

Jazzman’s also is a great place to hang out before class or in between classes when you have a break.  There are plenty of chairs and very comfortable couches that are great for just hanging out and talking to friends or even to get a little work done. “We try to encourage people to hang out in here and love see everyone hanging out with their friends here.  It’s also nice to see students trying to get work done in here, though sometimes in might not be the best place as it does get a little crowded in here at times. But we really try to make everyone feel comfortable while they are in here” said Steve Matteson who is a Manager at both Jazzman’s Café and at Mills Marketplace on campus.

“I come here every day between my classes just to hang out.  I usually meet up with a couple of friends here and just talk and grab a bite to eat while waiting for our next class to start” said Celine Laiacona, a SUNY Oneonta student.

Jazzmans Café really has the full package as it serves as a great place for students to relax, study, and grab some food or drinks at any time during the day. The employees really try to make everyone’s day better when they are in there and try to make students and everyone else as comfortable as possible.
