Harvard students looking for good conversation, good food and good coffee may now be able to find all three at Dunster House.

Residents Jeremy A. Greene '96 and Adam A. Haile '96 have breathed new life into the Dunster Cafe, a free semi-monthly coffeehouse featuring live musical and dramatic performances by students.

Dunster coffeehouses have been held only once or twice a year for the past two years, Greene said.

"We decided to make it something more than it had been in the past," Haile said. "So far, it's been very successful."

The Cafe held its third coffeehouse Thursday evening. Between 60 and 80 people dropped by, Greene said.

Dunster residents find the atmosphere at the Dunster Cafe pleasant and enjoyable.

"It's a nice change of pace from the typical Harvard stress," said Dan Arbelaez '97. "It's a great place to mellow out on Thursday."

"It really beats sitting around in a dorm," said Olgun Guvench '97.

Those present at Thursday's coffeehouse said the student performances provide worthwhile entertainment and add to the loose environment.

"[The music] is awesome," Arbelaez said. "The whole improv aspect is very relaxing."

"The environment's real casual. It feels okay to talk while [the musicians] are playing," Guvench said.

Dunsterites are not the only students enjoying the new Cafe.

"It's good that we get to appreciate talents of other students," said R. Swati Prakash '97, who resides off-campus. "This is definitely some of the best free entertainment I've seen in a long time."

Haile and Greene put up posters in river houses to advertise Thursday's coffeehouse.

"We're trying to open it up to a lot of people from other houses," Haile said.
