We lucked out a second time when we got a seat in the back right as people were getting up to leave! I got the Blue Moon Mojito and Aidan got the Tiramisu Mocha. I really liked the mojito, it had plenty of fizz and a nice raspberry/lime flavor combination. I would recommend getting this to anyone who is a berry refresher fan- nice and sweet! Aidan loved his drink as well and said it was in the top 10 coffee drinks he's ever had. We also came hungry and got the BBQ chicken flatbread. The chicken was pretty dry on it, so I did go up and ask for some more BBQ sauce and they were nice enough to give me that and some chimichurri sauce to try. When we ordered, we asked what came on the Flatbread and they had told us there was lettuce, tomato paste, chimichurri sauce, and BBQ, but looked through the whole thing and couldn't find the sauce. Along with the dryness, the dish itself had some spice to it, so I will probably get something else next time. Besides being busy when we arrived, it slowed down around 3p and made for a peaceful place to do work. We did notice our table was pretty wobbly which Aidan thinks is worth a mention because it made it more challenging to study, but overall, the vibe was clean, bright, and had plenty of comfortable chairs.

Another Friday, another Yemeni coffee place! At this point I'm going to make it a series! We had…read moreTHREE Buy One Get One Free coupons mailed to our house so we drove over to study! There was not a parking lot, per usual in Ann Arbor. Ended up parking in a neighborhood and walking ~7 mins. Something for you to keep in mind. We love the Bayt Almocha in Dearborn (side note: they have mirrors so don't run into them thinking it's more store like I did) so this felt like a mini version of that location. On that visit, I got the Iced Tiramisu Latte but wanted to try their refresher this time. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed. It had a "fake" strawberry flavor and I'm not sure what else to compare it to besides the flavor a strawberry chapstick. I was envying Aidan's Tiramisu and would recommend sticking to getting coffee here so that's why I'm still giving it 4 stars. The store itself is quiet and clean and good for studying. Lots of natural light and not busy at all on a Friday afternoon!

First of all, another reviewer claimed the lattes were expensive, but that's a lie. Completely…read morenormal latte prices. I think I paid $6 and some change for a big ol' piping hot expertly spiced latte. Now into the regular review! Great drinks. Like I said, everything was super hot for the cold day and the spice / milk / caffeine ratio was exactly what I needed. If you have ever loved a coffee or tea with a little cardamom you will find a new love here. Also, BEAUTIFUL space! The comfiest chairs I think I've ever sat in within a coffee shop. We came at a weirdly early hour and there weren't many others sitting in the shop, so my friend and I chatted and sipped for about an hour. It was great, I would come back on my own to do work with a bev. Hot new Ann Arbor study spot?? Yes please! I just need to get there before every other student. Finally, great service. The person behind the counter was happy to give recommendations, everything came out super fast, it felt so cozy and homey. Pro tip: if you're looking for Khaliat na7l or honeycomb bread and you don't see it, it's just because they call it "bee bites" on the menu!!! Sooo cute.

I think of myself as a fun guy. But I have also been accused of being no fun at all because of my…read moregeneral dislike of sprinkles. It's not as if I'm opposed to gilding the lily so to speak. Give me a brownie and I'm happy to top it with vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, walnuts, and even a good cocktail cherry. That said, I love matcha. Thick, green, creamy, and grassy. I enjoy lighter styled traditional matcha too, even poured over ice. Perhaps even with a splash of oat milk. But then again, perhaps not. Really I am less keen on matcha flavored with syrups or espresso flavored with pretty much anything. Great coffee and traditional matcha I believe can be elevated with accompaniments, like an amazing buttery croissant or a sweet and chewy mochi. It's important to know going in that Hazel is beloved by the Instagram set who enjoy the visual appeal of layered and flavored drinks with bright, bold, and contrasting colors. And good for them. Those folks deserve to have a cafe that serves their needs. Perhaps one day I'll have a craving for a $10 drink with cloud foam piped on top as well. And on that day, I'll be very glad that Hazel exists. And I have to give props to Hazel for doing what they do the hard way. They make their syrups in house. They take care in crafting their drinks. They are very customer centric. The owners are charming and very hands on. The space they have created is warm and inviting -- as the kids say these days, it's a vibe. Their success, business acumen, and sound financial management is impressive. The bar for really good coffee in Ann Arbor keeps on going up. Hazel has definitely carved out a niche for themselves. I had high hopes when looking at the IG feed before they opened that the shop would focus on the classics, but I'm old and terrible at social media... and texting. I'm tragically bad at short form, and I do not understand memes one little bit. Even still, I will give them props for pulling the best espresso shot on Packard which is no small feat considering the beloved local businesses that are their direct competition.

But hot tip: If you order ahead of time…read morethrough the Starbucks App you can just run in and grab your order off the "app order" counter space. Easy peasy. It's pre-paid and you'll save time vs waiting in line. And these days, you won't be lingering inside and risking anything surrounded by people eating and drinking sans masks. Our orders have always been accurate and everyone I've interacted with (during non-app orders and pre-pandemic when I used to go in and grab beverage IRL) it was always a pleasant experience. But seriously. Grab the app and save yourself some time!

I asked how long before my order would be ready and the barista said she was 20 minutes behind and couldn't prioritize the orders of those of us waiting. Another employee came over and asked the barista if she needed help and she said no. Why would she turn down help when she said she was far behind. Meanwhile 3 other employees were just standing around. I said I can't wait another 20 minutes (after already waiting 10 mins) and they said they'd give me a refund but instead of refunding me they charged me twice. Get it together, Starbucks - you have an operational and service issue at this location.

Pleasantly surprised to see EVERYTHING IS GLUTEN FREE!!!!! Sprung for the Jam Sesh sandwich and the banana bread latte with pride flare (it's June). It was very difficult to decide what to eat. But knowing this and its AA location are close by, I'm not too upset. Outside and inside seating are pretty plentiful. Parking though....is not.

One thing that Venue Coffee has in spades that is lacking at most of the other coffee shops in the…read moreneighborhood is more than ample parking. As much as I hate that we have a car culture, even in a city as walkable as Ann Arbor, it's an inescapable fact. And when I was recently meeting up with a friend who had a little one in tow, being able to park close to the entrance was a huge boost. But it wouldn't matter much if the coffee wasn't good. They pull shots on their La Marzocco from Mighty Good's Espresso 46. Gotta say, it's not my favorite, but it transforms nicely into a Mexican Chocolate Mocha. The flavored espresso and tea menu is extensive, but they do make some of their own syrups, which I appreciate. That said, I think the most under appreciated and most exciting thing that Venue Coffee offers are their wines by the bottle. These can be consumed on site without a corkage fee! Yes, the coffee shop closes at 6pm, but it's open Monday through Saturday. I want to get brunchy some Saturday with a bottle of pet-nat, which they keep in the cooler. Just need to find some likeminded folks who are down for some day drinking. #Goals Or maybe, one afternoon, I bring my laptop and tackle some writing projects with a bottle of wine by my side. Just don't tell the boss.
