50 Best Coffee Shops in Ann Arbor

“Highly recommended!! Nice people atmosphere vibe“

“Socotra is truly one of my favorite cafes in Michigan. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and perfect whether you’re meeting up with friends, getting some work done, or just looking for a relaxing place to enjoy a coffee.

The drinks are always great, with plenty of delicious options to choose from, and the desserts are honestly the best around. Everything feels fresh, well-made, and consistently enjoyable. I would highly recommend Socotra Coffee House to everyone looking for great drinks, amazing desserts, and an atmosphere that keeps you coming back!“

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

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

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

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

“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. 💚💚💚“

“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!“

“Another Zingerman’s gem in Ann Arbor! Zingerman’s Coffee Shop & Creamery offers an incredible selection of fresh, high-quality food and drinks. The made-to-order sandwiches and hot sandwiches are delicious, with everything tasting fresh and thoughtfully prepared.

The selection of cheeses, gelato, coffee, and other beverages makes this a perfect spot whether you’re stopping in for a quick bite, a sweet treat, or a relaxing coffee. The staff is exceptional—friendly, welcoming, and attentive.

You really can’t go wrong here. The quality of the food, variety of offerings, and outstanding service make Zingerman’s Coffee Shop & Creamery a must-visit!“

“Awesome drinks fantastic baristas a must go to spot“

“I don't like the offerings at Next Door as much as the Deli. I'm not a huge fan of their coffee and I have yet to find a Zingerman’s cake that really impresses me. However, the service here is still top notch and they have a great selection of chocolates.“

“We really liked the food, music, and cleanliness of the location. We sat by the windows at the barstools and it was peaceful Sunday morning.

Only thing is, it was a little stressful that capers and other things could fall off the plate even if we ate really carefully so maybe certain toppings can be provided on the side. Everything was yummy though!“

“Great coffee and staff! Nice outdoor area.“

“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!“

“Update:

I would like to thank management but more especially the staff for going above and beyond to remedy my previous concerns. Went back with my dad yesterday. We had great service and food. Cannelle is a must try in Ann Arbor!“

“Great coffee! Like both locations!“

“really pleasant staff, great drinks and I always love trying something new because there’s the staff favorites wall and so many options I love it everything I’ve tried here is good the Korean corn dogs are great and the atmosphere is great and cozy“

“Everything was DELICIOUS!!! I am picky about my coffee and the salted Carmel latte was so good. Everything was so nice and so pleasant. I can’t wait to return when back in Louisville, will go out of my way to come back.“

“Everyone who works here is so beyond sweet and friendly! The drinks are so yummy and you can order food from the connected restaurant that they’ll bring to your table. They have sandwiches and pastries inside the coffee shop too that they’ll bring can heat for you!“

“The cafe has a beautiful atmosphere, the moment you enter, the architecture just invites you deeper and deeper. It feels ethnic, with wall art, etched metallic tables, and even an indoor water fountain. The service was okay, the barista was a little too rushed to suggest a beverage, but his suggestion was good, so can’t complain too much. They have 3 different zones, generic cafe vibes with people watching, a semi underground water fountain seating, and, an upper floor conference table room. I was recommended the Moroccocinno, for an unsweetened hot coffee.“

“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 waffled between 4 and 5. and also, I admittedly am super spoiled (and arguably precious) about my coffee (when your morning coffee is coava (look it up), it's impossible not to be) but after stopping at hyperion (ypsi location) the week before and not being impressed, this was a very nice reprieve.
[yes, I know my stars don't add up to or average the total - you can figure it out...]“

“I got a Brown bear coffee, a cappuccino with maple syrup and brown sugar, with a beautiful bear art on top 🐻🤎. I asked for half sugar, and it was perfect balance. The place has chill atmosphere and very good service.“

“We showed up with about 30 people and the owner was working solo! Due to construction on the street she was not prepared for the flow of foot traffic, however she served us all with urgency and delight. She truly loves what she does! The cinnamon sugar chimney was DELICIOUS! Highly recommend. The atmosphere is also delightful!“

“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 !“

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

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

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

“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 amazing, and they know how to keep the people wanting more :))) I would eat here three times a day if this place was open later. Even the simplest breakfast items have amazing-quality ingredients and so much flavor. There is always something new to try on the menu. Their frozen section lets you bring their menu home for dinner. They are always busy, which is a great sign, but the line always moves quickly. Can't say enough good things about them.“

“This Sweetwaters location is awesome!! This area of town needed a convenient and delicious coffee shop. The staff are very friendly; it makes my day to chat with the baristas while I’m waiting for my drink. Try the abianno espresso, it’s my favorite!!“

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

“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!“

“Went back for a second time in just two weeks. Just as good as I remembered and this time I took a picture before I ate the last half. Pilled high with delicious meat. I had the Reuben, the sandwich was perfect from the meat, sauerkraut, bun and definitely the sauce. Next time I'm in the area, I will definitely go back and get another. My wife had the chicken wrap, equally delicious.“

“Five stars for me and my 81-year-old mom! First time eating here as we don’t live in or around Ann Arbor, but will definitely go back if ever in the area! The manager Roy went above and beyond in several ways! He took the time to explain to us how the building used to be an old sawmill and that’s why the decor is the way that it is such an eclectic beautiful place! The server Alyssa was patient with my 81 year-old mother with a smile on her face taking her time with Mom and myself to answer all of our questions! Wish I could give her a raise because she’s one of the best servers I’ve ever had!“

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

“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.“

“Healthy Warm Brunch Hidden Gem in Ann Arbor!“

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

“What a nice man who took our order. The iced tiramisu latte was delicious 😍“

“Great vibe, great drinks!“

“Recently tried this bakery and was genuinely impressed by how clean and well maintained everything was.🥰 From the moment I walked in, the floors were spotless, the display cases were crystal clear, and every pastry was arranged neatly, making the entire shop feel welcoming. The pastries at Tous les Jours are so delicious! Everything looked fresh, and it was honestly hard to choose because they all looked so good. Too many options too choose from. The display was very clean, organized, and neatly arranged, which made the bakery feel inviting. Every pastry I tried was soft, fresh, and full of flavor without being too sweet. You can really tell they put care into both how the pastries are made and how they’re presented.One thing that stood out was how attentive the staff were. Employees would regularly check on me if I needed anything which was really sweet. Also the restrooms were exceptionally clean, fully stocked and smelled fresh, which says a lot about how seriously the business takes hygiene and presentation. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“I went to Drip House on Tuesday and got the salted pistachio latte and it was SO GOOD!! I was nervous it was going to be way too sweet, but it wasn’t at all. It’s the perfect mix of sweet, salty and savory, and I could not believe how good it was.

This was only my second time there, but I ended up talking to both of the people working and they were GREAT. So genuine, down to earth and kind. I had actual conversations with both of them and left thinking, I really like this place.

The coffee is fantastic, the people are fantastic, and I’m already thinking about that salted pistachio latte again. 😂“

“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.“

“Great dj’s awesome atmosphere“

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

“This is my favorite spot for ice cream in Ann Arbor! I have ordered a variety of different items in the menu and they don’t disappoint, even when I want to try something new. The service is very friendly as well! If you want to get ice cream in Ann Arbor, this is the number one spot I would recommend.“
