I actually like this.

1.) Totally opt-in. Unless this cafe holds a monopoly on the coffee market on this college campus, students can choose to participate.

2.) It seems like the students have some control over what data to share. Hopefully it's not a binary all-or-nothing situation, but if there's a chance students can share whatever they want (and receive tiered cafe services in proportion to whatever they share), that seems kinda interesting.

I'm more than happy to grant companies access to me. But I want something in return. In this case, maybe a chai latte?

I think you're undervaluing yourself at 4 bucks

But would a years worth of chai latte's, or 4 be worth it?

It's certainly not a one off as apparently they have limits for per hour and per day.

I dunno, I wouldn't set foot in such a place.

It seems to me that this idea is a race to the bottom. If people continue to give up first level information (name, address, etc) it devalues it because that info becomes commonplace and widely distributed. So what happens then -- dig deeper into your life? Does the 2019 version of this cafe want complete access to your phone / laptop? What about the 2020 version?

The only wining move is not to play.

Oh yea I'm a huge privacy advocate and wouldn't set a foot in a place like that either. Although it's getting harder and harder it seems. Was just commenting that you get more than a 4 dollar latte.
