Rumi Coffee passes the vibe check, but the study check?

I first discovered Rumi Coffee on Instagram and my first thought was, “Wow, they’re really aesthetic. And their social media content is great.” As a freshman and a commuter student at Fresno State, I’ve been looking for places around town where I can study or spend time between classes, so I thought, “Why not give Rumi a try.” A friend and I visited around 8 a.m on a Friday. I looked around, noticing customers ordering at the counter and waiting for their drinks and food. The shop was active without feeling crowded. Inside, the cafe matched the look of its Instagram: shades of light and dark green, tan cushions, and wood tables and chairs. The space felt roomy, and the seating looked comfortable. Employees greeted us with a friendly “welcome in” as we walked toward the counter to order. I ordered an iced golden date latte for $6.25. My friend ordered an iced mocha and avocado toast that came to a total of $16.75.
