“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 went in for a quick coffee before work and the place had a calm, easygoing vibe. The barista greeted me right away and helped me pick something since I wasn’t sure what to order. I got a medium roast and it tasted fresh, not too strong but still had good flavor. The shop itself was clean and there were a few people working on laptops which made it feel relaxed. My order took a few minutes but nothing unreasonable. Prices seemed pretty normal for a coffee shop around here. Overall it was a good experience and I’d likely come back when I’m in the area again.“

“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.“

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

“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 😁“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

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

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

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“If you like fun coffees, please come here. Their speciality pour overs rotate every single day with four different options available each day.

I get a cup from here basically every day and it is so much fun trying new coffees. They all have awesome flavor profiles“

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

“I've been ordering at Drip House for almost 2 years and I come in almost every day, I love the environment and atmosphere it always feels so comfortable and pleasant when me and my friends come in to do work or just talk. The staff is so sweet and fun to talk to and they always provide amazing service even when it's busy. I love going there and I will continue to go there for a long time.“

“I recently visited Qahwah House, and honestly it was a great experience. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming, which makes it a perfect place to relax, study, or catch up with friends. The place is very clean and well organized, and the decor gives it a warm and comfortable vibe.

The coffee was excellent and tasted very fresh. You can really tell they care about the quality of what they serve. I also appreciated how friendly and respectful the staff were—they made the whole experience even better.

If you enjoy good coffee and a comfortable place to spend some time, I definitely recommend checking out Qahwah House. I’ll definitely be coming back 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.“

“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 👌“

“Seriously SO good. Like… unbelievably good.
The ice cream looks insane, but the Dubai chocolate strawberry was the real star.
I honestly thought I knew what Dubai chocolate tasted like—turns out, I did not.
This was on a whole different level. 10/10, would absolutely come back.“

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

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

“Went in for a quick coffee break the other morning and ended up staying a bit longer than I planned. The place has a really relaxed vibe, not too loud and pretty comfortable to sit for a while. I ordered a latte and a small pastry, both were good and tasted fresh. The barista was friendly, maybe a little busy but still polite. Seating is a little tight if it gets crowded, but thats kinda normal for smaller cafes. Overall it felt like a nice neighborhood spot where you can just sit, sip your coffee, and slow down for a bit. I'd come back again.“

“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 !“

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

“Great coffee! Like both locations!“

“I used to go to another location and I was sad to move but so happy to discover that this location is close to where I am now! The passion fruit refresher is incredible and absolutely my favorite drink, so much better than large corporate coffee places. All of the food I’ve tried from there has been incredible. Definitely a great place to study. The aesthetics in here are great and the guy working today was friendly :) overall will be coming back and choosing this place over any chain coffee stores.“

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

“This is my new favorite place! I love how I can try something new every time I come. I love almond croissants, and theirs is so yummy. The cloud donuts are so soft and fluffy. I love that it wasn’t overpowered with sweetness, just delicious flavors. The cakes are yummy too! I can’t wait to see what I try next!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great vibe, great drinks!“

“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!“

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