Went in for a quick coffee break last week and ended up staying a bit longer than planned. The place had a relaxed vibe, not too loud, which I appreciated. I ordered a regular hot coffee and a pastry. Coffee tasted fresh and not burnt, which is honestly all I want most days. The pastry was decent, a little flaky and not overly sweet. Staff were friendly enough and didn’t rush anyone, even though it got a little busy. Seating was clean and comfortable. Overall, it’s a solid spot if you want a calm place to enjoy your coffee and just sit for a while.

Decent oat milk cappuccino - not the most flavorful espresso, but by no means bad

The chai latte was delicious. So were the pumpkin score and muffin. Love the natural lighting and the music.

Asked for a matcha latte with vanilla syrup. WAAAAY too sweet. Literally tastes like vanilla syrup alone…
I got a iced lychee rose matcha latte. There was matcha powder clumps in my drink so the powder wasn’t properly sifted and because of that there was a bitter after taste. I also didn’t like that their cold foam came out of a can. The drink tasted okay but for the price of $8 I expected a better quality experience.

Wasn't impressed with this Cafe. Way too small. No seats. Couldn't sit anywhere. The desserts were nothing to speak about, the coffee was okay. It would have been better if we could have sat down. Forget finding a a place to sit. Do yourself a favor. Find a little bigger Cafe. There are so many of them in Ann arbor, Michigan. You can do better!

I don’t normally write or post reviews in general, let alone negative ones - but I was so put off by the barista taking my order while texting just now that I felt inclined to give the service here 2 stars 🙃
Update: had high hopes for the coffee and it was very bad 🥲

Great coffee and amazing matcha lattes! The matcha latte especially stood out with its unique and beautiful design—such a nice touch!

decor kinda sucked, picture frame was crooked, too minimalist or austere (all white, sharp edges, etc). no menu on the wall so you have to wait till it's your turn in line realistically to even choose what you want, but at that point you're holding up everything which is unforgivable. awesome water glasses, of two different varieties, fantastic. coffee was good. baristas laughed at my jokes which was nice of them, they didnt have to.
The coffee here is fairly good, loved the brown sugar and sea salt. However, at $7 a cup, I would not be returning. Service was lackluster, waited almost 15 mins for mine to be made with one person in front of me. The floor could use a good cleaning, makes it look like it has never been cleaned.

Overpriced for what it is and slow service. The good: they have a variety of syrup flavors that are uncommon in coffee shops (e.g. jasmine, lavender, sesame). The coffee itself is better than Starbucks coffee. The bad: all the syrup-based drinks are far too sweet and sadly one-note. The price for a small drink is the same as what I'd pay to buy a large drink that is beautiful and inventive from another place in town. You have plenty of better options in Ann Arbor; go somewhere else!
