Located in the UTSA Student Union, the cafe features nods to the hit ’90s show, including a replica of the famous orange couch and a smelly cat mural.

Union Perk offers coffee, tea and frappe beverages, along with pan dulce and other locally inspired Mexican pastries.

The cafe was originally scheduled to open Tuesday, Jan. 21, but postponed its opening to Wednesday, Jan. 22, after the university canceled classes due to the weather, according to a UTSA spokesperson.

Union Perk will be open Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. and Fridays from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
