50 Best Coffee Shops in Ann Arbor

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

“Love this place-

Tried Canelle for the first time in Detroit, and this branch is just as nice. This spot has fresh pastries, good coffee (and an amazing Mocha), and a comforting overall ambiance. The Parisian influence is especially nice and the outdoor patio on a crisp summer/fall day is just so pleasant. I’d highly recommend a visit if you’re on the lookout for a neat coffee spot in Ann Arbor.“

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

“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 ????????‍♀️ …..“

“Highly recommended!! Nice people atmosphere vibe“

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

“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 the outdoor space and inside space. Coffee was great and staff was friendly 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. 💚💚💚“

“Great coffee and staff! Nice outdoor area.“

“3.5 starsDrinks: pretty good, better than I would expect for what it is, and very convenient for fueling study sessions. Their $1 coffee if you bring your own thermos deal is great! Downsides: you could probably get better coffee for the same price at some of the nearby coffee shops. I've also had 2 occasions where I got the wrong sized drink despite specifying 16 oz vs 12 oz cup. Not a huge deal but can be annoying.Food: Their prepared foods are actually really good (fresh sushi rolls, salads, curry masala, etc) - but they are pricey! They also tend to run out quickly during the lunch rush and dont get restocked right away, so theres a lot less options for people looking for a later lunch. Wish there were more vegetarian sandwich options as well.Ambience: Pros - Location is as convenient as you can get. Customer service is consistently good. Lines move quickly even during the lunch rush. Cons- they don't have any dedicated seating areas; their mobile ordering system via the Go app no longer appears to be functional. Wish they had extended hours, especially weekends.“

“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!“

“If you're looking to get a good cup of Hot Coco then this is the place to go. The staff members always do their best to make the best possible experience for the customer.

Wifi is great if you're looking to use the internet while drinking a coffee or baked good. My reccommendation is the salt bagel sliced with butter but get some water with it because they are super salty!

It's definitely worth every penny given how they put so much quality into their food.“

“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.“

“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 😁“

“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.“

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

“I was recently in Cahoots!

Cahoots Café blends cozy, modern, and mid-century touches into a warm environment bathed in natural light. A “visually stunning” with a “chic mid-century modern decor, spacious interior,” creating the perfect setting for both casual meetups and focused work.  The café also offers an inviting lobby feel for sipping your coffee al fresco.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“this place is actually my favorite place ever. all of the staff are so kind and they’re super quick too!! literally my favorite spot to go with friends or to do work!!! also, the staff are literally so friendly like we are on a first name basis!!! absolutely go here“

“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! Like both locations!“

“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 ❤️🙏🏽“

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

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

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

“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 !“

“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 👌“

“I was happy with finding vegan options in this part of town during our visit. We tried a few dishes, including the vegan burrito, hot mess, southwestern hash, and slider (vegan). For the vegan versions, they replace egg with tempeh and the cheese with spicy mayo. Overall, the vegan options were okay, but did not seem their specialty. Also al of the dishes had a spicy sauce I wasn’t a fan of. The vegan baked goods were good though and highly recommend the coffee over the chai.“

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

“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“

“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.“

“I have to say this review is based off one visit Feb. 2025, that makes it relevant to how a business is doing now which I think is what you will care about. I got their Ethiopian Coffee black, and a Caramel Macchiato . And for sweets a brownie and apple in a croissant. Drinks and sweets were good.“

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

“Good food and service at the Wilmington, DE location“

“Toastique is a gem! Their creative toast toppings turn a simple slice into something special. We tried the Toast of the Month, and it was delicious. The staff was super friendly and made us feel right at home. The fresh juices were a perfect match, too. Highly recommend!“

“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!😁“

“Totally recommend Iggy's Eggies, the best breakfast in town“

“My husband and I ate here today for the first time. It was amazing.. the food, the staff, the overall genera atmosphere.. I have not 1 bad thing to say. We will most definitely be back ❤️“

“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.“

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

“Amazing macarons! Even my five year old loves them!“
