The 23rd Street location serves more of a commuter student crowd, with customers stopping in on their way to Edwards campus in Kansas City.

Students offer fellow classmates place to crash
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — The idea of a nap club at Indiana University South Bend started out as a joke. Then some people slept on it.
Students Michael Duttlinger and Joe Spencer, president and vice president, respectively point to studies that say napping can heighten creativity boost memory and increase alertness.
The Nap Club consists of a quiet room with the shades drawn, a few desks and chairs, and six air mattresses, purchased through a small sum allotted to campus clubs.
Up to 15 people can come in to doze. A moderator wakes them up at the appropriate time and "makes sure no one messes with you or your stuff," Duttlinger says.
The room is open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
The club started simply enough. "We were being funny and talking about starting a club, and I'm like, 'What should we do?' recalls Duttlinger. Spencer suggested Duttlinger do something he liked, and napping came to mind.
