7 COOL/HIDDEN STUDY SPOTS IN OTTAWA THAT FIT YOUR LIFESTYLE
Studying on campus can be very difficult especially considering finals are coming up and finding quiet and empty spaces on campus is impossible. So I’ve made it easy by finding you the best spots that have yet to be discovered by the majority of students. All of these are places where you can eat and they all have wifi. The two big essentials when it comes to tackling a big day of studying.
University of Ottawa
- PresoTea — This place is a bubble tea spot that is open till 10pm and has a very nice seating area in the back with plenty of tables and couches. They offer a variety of drinks like matcha green tea lattes. They even offer frozen yogurt. (They also allow outside food which is huge when you’re planning to stay there most of the day)
2. The Ministry of Coffee (Elgin St) — This coffee shop is very accessible for students who attend the University of Ottawa and they offer a variety of beverages and food. They have free wifi so don’t worry about not being able to aimlessly scroll through FaceBook while you procrastinate writing your paper! ;)
3. Morning Owl — This coffee shop is also very accessible to University of Ottawa students. This has kind of the same feel as The Ministry of Coffee except its double the size. It has a lot of ports to charge your computer and phone as well as free wifi.

4. Chat Time — It’s another bubble tea shop this one is a little further then presotea and is central for both Carleton University and University of Ottawa students. They offer very similar drinks to presotea but have a super cool neon sign wall that is totally instagrammable. haha
Carleton University
5. Equator coffee — A very aesthetically pleasing coffee shop located in Westboro village. This is a lot closer to Carleton Students then UofO. If your looking for a quiet place that isn’t too crowded, this is the spot for you.
6. The Ministry of Coffee (Wellington) — The ministry of coffee has two locations and this second one is much larger then the downtown one. It’s located in Hintonburg and offers a bunch of interesting drinks like a Nutella latte! I suggest checking this spot out when it gets warmer as they have a nice patio. (They also serve food and other non-caffeinated beverages.)
7. MySweetTea — Another bubble tea place (are we shocked?!) My sweet tea is a must-go regardless of if you need to study or not. Not only do they offer twice the amount of drinks as the places mentioned above but they also have great customer service and even boardgames. This is the best for when you’re in the mood to study but also want the occasional board-game break in between.
