In 2007, a local Wilmore establishment opened a coffee shop in the Student Center. In 2011, the establishment handed over the responsibilities of the coffee shop to the university, which then began searching for a new name for the shop. By popular vote, The Hiccup (Hydration Innovations and Caffeinated Creations for the University Population) Café began its first stages. After years of learning and growth, the coffee shop has undergone several levels of change and is now known as The Hiccup.
The Hiccup provides great quality espresso drinks, milkshakes, and smoothies to the surrounding community.
The Hiccup aims to provide quality drinks at a low price. View the Hiccup’s menu.

Hiring at The Hiccup takes place at the end of each semester. A campus-wide application will be sent out in which students will have the opportunity to apply. We hire at the end of each semester to secure our staff for the following semester. Since this job requires a certain skill set, we aim to hire people who will be able to work at The Hiccup for 2-3 years.
