“Excellent food , excellent service , clean , great menu, highly recommend“

“Passing through AA and wanted to try a different vegan restaurant. Not disappointed! Wish I lived closer.“

“Interesting flavors, quality product“

“All of our food was soo good. Good people working. Very friendly.“

“Awesome local spot in Ann Arbor. Donuts (taste, freshness, and price) are unbeatable!! Love the rotating ice cream flavors!“

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

“Absolutely love this place. Delicious food!“

“If you haven’t been here and you enjoy good beer. You need to come here. They make the best beers in all of the lower peninsula. I’m a craft beer guy and I have made it a point to visit every small brewery that I can while out and about in our great state. Mothfire Brewing is by far one of the best breweries I’ve ever been to. The staff is amazing and the beer is excellent. Stop in, you won’t regret it.“

“Thanks for taking care of us today! Amazing food and hospitality!“

“Breakfast,pancakes & tacos!!!“

“Simply put, this is the best taqueria in Ann Arbor; I'm so happy Miny's decided to open a second location here! (You can find stiffer competition over in Ypsilanti, but convenience counts for something, right?!)

Take-out only, but on a nice day you can find some picnic tables in the park down the block. Or take food to Lowertown Café and eat it there!“

“Staff is polite, selection is varied and can suit any taste. There are also non-alcoholic options and some light snacks!“

“Fantastic spot with lots to do and perhaps the best part- a beautiful black box theater to enjoy improv comedy, stand-up and more!
My dream came true when I went to Ann Arbor for my annual visit with the fam and there was actual great improv comedy happening at a fabulous brewery! My whole family came for the musical improv jam (and those that tired of it were able to go grab drinks at the bar and hang and chat in the spacious lounge/bar area).
They have classes, jams (for anyone wanting to try or watch improv games), stand-up comedy, and improv comedy like “Who’s Line is it Anyway” - so fun!
I was able to go back and catch a show on a Friday night ($15 pre-sale— cmon that’s a great price to try something new!) and watched hilarity ensue!
Looking forward to coming back the next time I’m in town.
If you’re in Ann Arbor - DEFINITELY recommend! Support local comedy!!“

“Great beers, food and staff!!!“

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

“Being the job that I have and traveling as much as I do around Brighton and surrounding cities I try to try a new place for lunch as often as I can. Today I'm down in the westside of Ann Arbor and this new restaurant Ricewood BBQ, OH MY GOD!!! On the recommendation of the lady behind the counter I got the Brisket bowl with sesame cucumbers, pickled onions and the spice was medium. A "real", in my opinion BBQ place, you even smell the smoke from the wood smoker walking up. I went to the one on North Maple and by far the best lunch I've had all summer!!!“

“Friendly, Fun, and enjoyed the selection of drinks.“

“Good place to eat and get a beer. Anthony was our server and did a good job. My artichoke dip came out without the dip but Anthony quickly fixed it. And it was really good. The girl at the door seating everyone seemed really odd. I told her we needed two seats. She grabbed the menues and silverware. We followed her to our table. She put the items on the table and left without saying a single word to us. I usually expect them to say follow me or tell me who will be our server. She didn’t say a word. Seemed mad. But it is a beer and burger place. Maybe I expect too much of people.“

“Flavor runs deep at this casual spot … excellent!“

“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!“

“Sava's has been a favorite of ours for many years. It is a quality Ann Arbor restaurant that is always busy and has kept current with modern renovations and frequent menu updates. It can be a casual meal or an upscale experience, whatever you prefer. There is plenty of cuisine variety, yet just a single page of menu items. When we have out-of-town visitors this is one of our go to choices. I suggest making a reservation if dining during a prime time, as they do fill up quickly.“

“Wonderful discovery in MI. Delicious food although they could work on a better portion for Biriyani. Kothu parotta was also good.
A big thanks to Priscilla who took our order and was great in understanding the needs of our group. They even gave complimentary sweet pongal for our group - delicious 😍

Highly recommended for their service and taste.“

“A very popular location, good luck getting a seat if you arrive later in the night. They move the line for drinks along incredibly fast, don't be intimidated. Prices are quite reasonable for a nice draft beer. Young and energetic scene but some of everything in the crowd. Good beer, make some friends due to close proximity.“

“Healthy Warm Brunch Hidden Gem in Ann Arbor!“

“Great vibe, great drinks!“

“It's really nice having AADC in the neighborhood, and as a distilling company they do great work and make quality spirits. They'll also often have delicious food trucks, which brings great food into the neighborhood. The vibe is lovely. The only downside is that you're paying an arm and a leg for a weak drink. We don't come here for the drinks.“

“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“

“I dined with my 4 year old & two 13 year olds. We all shared two baskets of fries, a Club and a tenders app. Including a beer & Pepsi the total only $50. The real 5 ⭐️ goes to the service staff. I’ve truly never experienced better. My toddler dropped her water glass which shattered under our table. Before I knew what had happened the staff were at our table to help. We stood out of the way where someone helped me dry her pants & replaced her water. The staff cleaned the mess then moped/dried the floor within ~3 min. It was AMAZING. Thank you!!“

“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 😁“

“My work has ordered many times from Alpha Coney. Today we place a order for 4 lunches for pick up. Today they decided to charge a 20% large party fee. They never have done that in the past. We just got lunch from the restaurant last week and our bill was over $50. No fees then! You have lost our business!!! We will be supporting other businesses in the area!“

“I missed this place so much. Had not had it in like half a year and coming back was an amazing treat. Will look forward to the big move 🥰“

“Great beers, food and staff!!!“

“Glad to see this popular Asian boba tea brand in Ann Arbor. The service was fast and friendly. The room was clean with some seats. We tried several items. Matcha latte was the best with chewy boba. However, the tea tasted like the instant one sold in the grocery. 30% sugar level could be great for Asian people, because of its high sweetness.“

“Great dj’s awesome atmosphere“

“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.“

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

“They have amazing vegan baked goods!“

“I went here for dinner with a friend last week, and overall it was a pretty nice experience. The place has a cozy vibe and the staff was friendly without being pushy. I tried the chicken parm and it was pretty good, maybe a little heavy on the cheese but still tasty. My friend got the pasta Alfredo and said it was creamy and flavorful. Service was a bit slow at one point, but nothing too bad—we were just chatting anyway. Prices felt reasonable for the portions. I’d come back again if I’m in the area and craving Italian.“

“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.“

“Food amazing as always. Butterscotch latte was a delicious treat that wasn't too sweet. Highly recommend the grilled cinnamon roll. Great to have a restaurant not filled with TV's; nice music in the background that wasn't overwhelming. All staff was friendly, helpful, waiter Lucas was amazing. Great recs, checked in enough.“

“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“

“Delicious appetizers...crab cakes and potato skin were perfect and the complimentary brownie birthday sundae was superb!“

“Everything I've ever ordered has been superfresh and made with high quality ingredients. There's an impressively large selection of smoothies, and there are lots of tasty, nutritious choices for how you can customize them. Salads and wraps are also customizable, and portions are generous. I tried the new Antipasto Salad, and it was delicious! Ordering online and pick-up after work couldn't be easier.“

“In town for my sons football team to play at UM Stadium....Met for drinks and eat at Good Time Charleys. Waitress was awesome with everyone, kids and parents made it easy to order by player jersey number. Food was good nothing spectacular, bar food plain and simple. Most if not all the kids ordered chicken tenders and fries. Frozen tenders, definitely not home made. Smash burgers were good, decent flavor and requested temperature. Drinks were good. Now my disappointment when I got the bill, my amazement was a 4.5% surcharge for eating IN....Seriously, patronize your establishment and charged to eat there. Im custom to seeing the credit card fee, or automatic 20% of large parties, nope not again. Sorry in the world of price gouging and other fees put on the bill, this is dumb, plain and simple. At least raise the prices to hide the cost...“

“We ordered box lunches for our office and they were delicious! Everything was fresh... they personalized each box and accommodated our additions/deletions. Dante the manager, was very helpful.“

“Nicely prepared food, with good portions, friendly & prompt staff. And most important tasty food…“

“Went for a lunch with a friend and I brought my dog so we could go on a hike. Our waiter was super nice and brought out some ice water for her. The food was delicious and they have an inexpensive treat menu for pups as well. Definitely recommend!“

“We came in on an, unexpectedly busy, Sunday for my husband’s birthday and we had AMAZING service. The manager actually took care of us and she did amazing and was so kind. Our meal was perfect and the whole family left happy and full. Thank you!“
