50 Best Coffee Shops in Ann Arbor

“Highly recommended!! Nice people atmosphere vibe“

“Really fantastic. The outside has beautiful flowers, the inside is spotless. The servers are very congenial and friendly. The food is outstanding. My personal favorite though? THE COFFEE. It is not every day that a cafe with fabulous treats has equally fabulous cappuccinos. I am a real snob about them - I like them strong, and not filled with milk like a latte. Socotra delivers my favorite style of cappuccino. Big love to this welcoming spot - we'll be back!“

“Loved our pistachio latte and regular latte. Enjoyed the rosewood location a lot better. Awesome stickers. Nice staff as well.“

“It is my opinion that Argus Farm stop is one of the best iterations of a local foods store that I have ever seen. And it’s not just hometown love clouding my judgment. They have a vibrant company culture, and a commitment to nourishing our community. Hats off not only to the founders and their vision, but to the amazing staff past and present who make it all happen. 💚💚💚“

“Loved the outdoor space and inside space. Coffee was great and staff was friendly as well.“

“I love studying here! The drinks are super tasty and reasonably priced, service is great. It feels like a hidden gem. Highly recommend for studying (if you like background cafe noise like me) or for meeting with your friends!“

“Amazing dinner celebrating our birthdays Great service Relaxing atmosphere Prime rib is outstanding Large wine selection“

“When you pull into the industrial park that this coffee house is located in you may think you're in the wrong spot - but you're not. Look for the bright colored buildings toward the back where you'll find a this unexpected gem - housing an interesting atmosphere, great coffee, a bakery and friendly folks.“

“The reubens are always so good here. You order online on a touch screen. You pay at a near by counter. Once you get a text you can pick up your order in the adjoining room. You can eat inside or out. I always like to pick up a loaf of fresh bread to take home. At the counter you can get cheese or cold cuts as well. You can also order side salads and many other sandwich types. There is a house next door where you can also eat your food. I did not go there but usually you can get speciality coffees and dessert.“

“Nice coffee shop! I love the Dreamy! They also know how to make a great Breve 😊 Hopefully they will be carrying “Crust” pastries again soon!“

“Great coffee and staff! Nice outdoor area.“

“Loved the coffee and shop. Staff was super nice as well!“

“Amazing coffee and treats, but the staff makes it special. It's always nice to be greeted by name.“

“I recently stopped by Cahoots Cafe in Ann Arbor, and it was such a delightful experience! I ordered their hot Tiramisu Latte from the fall menu, and oh my goodness, it was absolutely amazing. The rich espresso base blended perfectly with the vanilla cold foam and a generous dusting of cocoa powder, and it came topped with a sugary ladyfinger that just melted in my mouth. At $6.65, it's a total steal for something that tastes like a decadent dessert in a cup – creamy, indulgent, and perfectly balanced without being too sweet. If you're a coffee lover, this is a must-try!
The interior is spot on: nice, clean, and super cozy with plenty of seating that's perfect for hanging out for a few hours. It's got this warm, inviting vibe with eclectic decor, including shelves filled with fun knick-knacks and colorful butterflies scattered around. Speaking of the butterflies, they really touched my heart – as someone with a daughter who has multiple sclerosis, the butterfly symbol holds a lot of meaning for me. It represents transformation and hope in the MS community, much like how people adapt and find strength after diagnosis. It made the whole visit feel even more special and personal.
Overall, Cahoots is a fun, welcoming spot with great drinks and a menu full of creative options. Highly recommend it for a relaxing coffee break – I'll definitely be back“

“I love the Washington location, they open at 6:00 am! Evan and Brooklyn are fabulous baristas! Fast, friendly and knowledgeable. I’m there every day for my morning wake up coffee and snack 😁“

“All of the staff are friendly and courteous and I love going there!!“

“They have the best best boba tea!! I got a Good Mood Boba tea!! Thank you for allowing us to hang out in the lobby and did my Bible studies with my brothers and sisters from church. A very very good spot to hang out and Oh my goodness their cookings smells very very good, I gotta try out their food and desserts as well next time! Definitely recommend this location for anyone to get some boba drinks and delicious desserts!! Can’t wait to come again ❤️🙏🏽“

“Whoever the owner of this spectacular establishment is, I’d like to thank you personally and shake your hand for consistently giving me the best lattes I’ve ever had in my life. How do you do it? How do your recipes literally taste like liquid form of what you’re advertising them to be? Banana bread latte? You can’t convince me you didn’t blend a piece of banana bread in there. Campfire chai? I’ve literally been transported to a pumpkin farm surrounded by colorful leaves with a campfire in front of me. If your business were ever struggling you give me a call because I would sustain that place and buy 100 coffees a day if that meant the world would continue to be blessed by your existence. Don’t tell me it’s the quality of syrups or espresso, I KNOW the magic you use behind that counter to make your coffees so good. It’s called love. Thank you for always giving me the best lattes I’ve ever had. You make my morning commute bearable, dare I say enjoyable.“

“Very good crowd and feeling inside and out of the coffee shop. It feels peaceful“

“Happened across this spot in my lunch break and I’m so happy I did! The energy, the atmosphere, the folks behind the counter, the vhs tapes, THE COFFEE AND TREATS. A part of my soul needed this place to exist. Now that I know it does I’ll definitely be a regular. Thank you!“

“Lab has the best simple syrup for Lavender Lattes in A2 <3 Love them!“

“Absolutely fantastic coffee, pastries, and atmosphere! The location in Nickels Arcade is absolutely splendid, and it gives the place a fantastic feel. The Cafe Dulce was a great order, and they even gave me a free croissant towards closing time! I was very happy to spend some time studying here on a hot day, and I would definitely recommend it!“

“Flew in from Boston for the game. Stopped in here after as the location was very convenient, across from Michigan Stadium. The coffee and food are exceptional! The staff was amazing and very friendly. Very personable. We came back the next 2 days in row and will definitely make it a regular spot when we come to Ann Arbor. Highly Recommend!“

“Coffee from Sweetwaters makes it so much easier to get through painful grocery shopping !“

“So excited to see Sweetwaters in the Michigan Union. Love that owners Lisa and Wei and two of their sons are U-M alums. This is a great work spot and the atrium and lounge areas nearby (with cozy fireplace) add to your options for enjoying great coffee, tea, and desserts.“

“The various buns and croissants are exceptional! I haven't tried their desserts because for me there isn't a point when the pastries are so good. Cool vibes, attentive people. Love the almond croissant, pistachio croissant and ham cheese croissant.“

“Lychee green tea with strawberry popping boba was good! At one point I had more boba than tea, which I thought would be a good problem until I missed sipping on the tea lol.

That’s one thing I’d change. Ration of tea to boba. Otherwise, great options and mix 👌“

“Loved the coffee and shop. Staff was super nice as well!“

“Great coffee! Like both locations!“

“I got my box and I was impressed by quality of tea. It’s Amazing! I’ll recommend this tea shop to my friends!“

“Was there on a Tuesday6:30 Sept 6. FIRST TIME. Best falafel ever had. Ordered no hummus Vegetables instead. Nice amount of tomato onion and lettus. Went again 6:30 tuesday on sept.13. Like a bad dream ordered 2 falafel Got 80% lettus and cucumber. One veggie fried ball broken into 3 pieces. Pocket bread was cold. Was charged $20 for the 2. Like bad joke. They closed at 7pm. So there I was eating them in the parking lot. I'd come from Jackson just for that meal....! LIKE A BAD DREAM !“

“Great chefs and staff that care about local, healthy food!!“

“Great spicy crab toast. Smoked salmon looked even better. Good juice too!

Not a full service place, not sure when orders get called from counter to pick up. Not much space to sit. But it was good food and I look forward to going again. Just wouldn't go there to sit down for breakfast like I thought it was going to be. Grab and go would be best.“

“Great service & coffee! I’m glad to have found this near my job. The one nearby home closed“

“This coffee shop is at the entrance of the Graduate hotel so you don’t have to go into the hotel to get coffee. There is plenty of lighted seating along the the front windows with seating outside. It’s beautiful inside with high ceilings. The latte was good. My only complaint is that they don’t serve you in a mug. They got rid of them once Covid began. Which doesn’t make sense to me. Restaurants still feed you on plates with silverware & serve you drinks in a glass ????????‍♀️ …..“

“I love this place! Can be crowded on the weekends, hence the 4 stars for atmosphere, and you don't get the usual huge, delicious samples to try at checkout when they are super busy. But the pastries are delish, and fascinating combos of Asian/French flavors.“

“House of Chimney cakes in Ann Arbor is amazing. The staff had great customer service skills and the owner Amanda is sooo sweet and down to earth. She made our visit both pleasant and exciting. We will definitely be back again and again. And the atmosphere is beyond beautiful.“

“I Always have a great experience when visiting this place. The guest representative Hamody is so nice, welcoming and always greet me with a warm smile. He also makes smoothies so well.Would definitely rate his service and smoothies a 10/10 hands down! Great place for fresh smoothies“

“Attended the Grand Opening for the New Smyrna Beach Location. It was very festive. The Bowls were delicious!“

“Healthy Warm Brunch Hidden Gem in Ann Arbor!“

“I will be definitely be coming back for drinks at Boba Tea House, I live in Ohio and it's worth the drive over!“

“This little coffee shop was so cute! I am in town for a few days visiting the University of Michigan, and some one told me this was the best local coffee shop in Ann Arbor. While I haven't tried any other shops, I must say that I highly recommend this one!“

“Great vibe, great drinks!“

“Their recipe for each tea & coffee mixes are consistently deliciously prepared fresh for you.“

“Dude!! Lavender honey is life!! Happy lavender season!❤️❤️❤️line out the door… please keep the door closed to keep the AC in the building.. yes, line out the door!! 1 scoop waffle cone was very generous too❤️❤️❤️💪💪 and free sprinkles!?! U know i took some!😁“

“Omg! We would sooooo eat here again. Excellent food at a good price and fun atmosphere. Highly recommend the Spicy Asian Pork and Avocado Wrap and Corned Beef and Cheddar with carmelized onion and sour dough bread.“

“The signs on the freeway don't really tell you how far this location is. It is not right off the freeway @ 2 miles away. We used the drive thru. To order is in corner of the parking lot and use the side of the building for the pick up window. The order was correct and everything went as it should.“

“Order on point with a smile!“
