Posted Monday 9:35 p.m. Yalies who return to campus next week looking for their usual caffeine fix will find a change of scenery — or at least signage — after Koffee Too? announced today that it has changed its name to The Publick Cup.

The Publick Cup? I saw that scrawled above a urinal in a public restroom once.

Good idea to change the name. Any time I see something spelled with a 'k' that's supposed to be spelled with a 'c', I can't help but thinking about the KKK. And I'm sure the KKK is the last thing that any New Haven coffee house or bright young Yale student wishes to be associated with.

I don't want to drink anything out of a public cup.

It sounds like a cross between an Elizabethan alehouse and a communist workers' hall. I doubt the employees like it. I know they're pissed that they have to wear aprons now.

Not GESO-ffee Too?

William Sloane Coffee?

The graphic design is an improvement, and it looks to me like they are really working to make good coffee. I agree, any kind of "fake" spelling makes me queasy, but I think it's pretty cool to use the original Yale language.
