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.“

“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 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 😁“

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

“Great coffee and staff! Nice outdoor area.“

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

“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!“

“Awesome drinks fantastic baristas a must go to spot“

“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.“

“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!“

“Not entirely sure why this is such an iconic spot in Ann Arbor. I came here a few times and decided not to wait in the massive line, when I finally did go for food I had a latte, bagel with the works, and apricot rugelach to dine in. The food was good but I was surprised that the $14 bagel came served as a bagel with a separate container with the toppings - I’m not expecting to build my own sandwich especially when I dine in or for that price. Everything came separate with no tray or anything to bring it to my table. Sat upstairs where it was quieter, ambiance is fine but not special.“

“Oh what a surprise for me! I was not going there, but a little bit of parking lot jam had me looking around and got my attention.
I had the curry potatoes corn dog and an Ube matcha. I had no idea of what ube meant, but they explained what the flavors were and had me at sweet 🤩
The corn dog was cooked just right, and the balance of flavors was great, the spicy curry was not too spicy, but definitely had a kick to it.
The establishment was very clean and pleasant. Will definitely be back!
Thank you!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Worker was so friendly, helpful, and welcoming. I love all their speciality drinks and love that they have pre-assembled breakfast options that they can heat for you. Great rec from the barista on the veggie Crunchwrap. They offer free sour cream and green salsa too! 10/10 no notes“

“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.“

“​My wife and I came in for brunch and tried the traditional breakfast tray Shakshuka. Everything felt fresh and authentic. The shakshuka had a rich, perfectly seasoned sauce, and the sweet/savory mix of the cheese and honey was amazing. Top it off with a hot pot of Moroccan mint tea, and you really can't go wrong. Awesome spot, friendly service, and easily one of the best brunch meals we've had in Ann Arbor lately.“

“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 ❤️🙏🏽“

“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.“

“Great coffee! Like both locations!“

“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.“

“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...]“

“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 !“

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

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

“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!“

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

“I accompanied a friend here and it happened to be my birthday. I asked the guy at the counter if they did any birthday freebies and he said yes, on the app. I don't have the app and wasn't planning on it, so I just said okay thank you. When he gave my friend her drink, he handed me one and said it was for my birthday. I am unfortunately very lactose intolerant and asked if it had milk, which it did. He said to just give it to someone else, and asked if I wanted oat or almond milk because he was going to make me another one, on him. I didn't even ask, he just made me a new, free, non-dairy drink for my birthday. What a lovely gesture and great service to create a new customer! The drink (I think it's the white moka) was very sweet but delicious. Perfect for a birthday.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“It is the best when you can see your food get made with real eggs and meat, rather than watching your artificial food get warmed up in the oven. The coffee is the best coffee I have had in Ann Arbor, and I get coffee pretty often. I come here every Saturday, and I look forward to it each week. It is the perfect place to do school work before a football game!! Don't forget to try the cookies there!!“

“Healthy Warm Brunch Hidden Gem in Ann Arbor!“

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

“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!“

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

“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!“
