We both got the Iced Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso and loved them! I could definitely taste the brown sugar and appreciated the right amount of ice and smooth espresso.

The atmosphere was clean and there were plenty of seats if we had wanted to stay and chat or do work. I always appreciate having a variety of seating options. There are fabric benches that aren't pictured where we sat while we waited that were cozy. This elevated our hike and I will definitely be coming back!

The staff were very friendly and helped me decide on a drink. I recommend the Socotra latte if it's your first time as it is their signature drink and reminds me of a gingerbread latte.

There's great history in their art hung and I loved learning more about the culture while I was there too!

My friend and I came here late at night to try the lattes. He ordered the toffee nut latte, and I…read moreordered the pistachio latte. The toffee nut latte was definitely sweeter. It had a rich, warm mix of hazelnut and caramel. The espresso was strong enough to stand out and blended perfectly with the toffee-nut flavor. The pistachio latte was more subtle. It tasted like a classic latte with a gentle, nutty hint of pistachio. Service was great. They brought out our drinks within 10 minutes and were very friendly. The ambiance was also a highlight, with groups of friends and young adults enjoying their Friday night. Great spot to gather with friends after a dinner. Overall: 9 out of 10. Would definitely come back.

The value here was fantastic!! *Toasty Cardamom Latte - I was influenced by the little handwritten 'drink of the week' sign so I ordered this. It was really good - not too sweet and had all the warm notes of a toasty cardamom latte -- think like a brown sugar latte but better! Also for the coffee cred - they make their espresso on a beautiful matte lavender La Marzocco machine and they use Hyperion for their beans. There are a couple table heres and WiFi if you need a place to post up. I'll definitely be back, what a gem!

The service was very kind, I enjoyed talking to the baristas that shift. As far as my drink, I got either a caramel or a tiramisu latte I think. The coffee quality is just not there for me. It wasn't to worst and was most definitely drinkable, but I'm just spoiled in the Ann Arbor area with the coffee we have there so the bitterness and tinge to the coffee they had there stuck out to me. Regardless, I would definitely come back and try something else or something none coffee related!

But none of that is why I'm here... I stopped in on my way to work yesterday to get a cup of coffee and decided I'd better write a review about what I got. Many of the reviews below mention the great coffee that Zingerman's provides. But as a coffee drinker of 30 years, I can confidently say Zingerman's roasts the MOST BITTER coffee I've ever had. I guess it's a product for connoisseurs, but I am a little disappointed they don't have a normal coffee that tastes good. They only have burnt tasting, extraordinarily bitter coffees that make a British IPA beer taste watery. What's up with that? Why no mellow coffee at Zingerman's?? Also, if the cream curdles as soon as I add it to the coffee, I'm grossed out. If I want curds in my coffee, I'll dump some cottage cheese in there. What I prefer is a nice, smooth, creamy cup of drip coffee. There's really nothing better!

I tried their Blue Whale namesake drink, and enjoyed! From the written menu, I thought this was going to be butterfly pea powder, cinnamon, almond milk, maple syrup, coconut whipped cream. However, when ordering the Blue Whale drink on the self serve order kiosk, it's described as "Blue Majik" spirulina/energy boosting botanicals (carbonated). The drink I got fit the latter's description. Would suggest updating the board :). I did get a little jittery afterwards, but unsure if that was from the "energy boosting" botanicals or from a coffee I had a couple hours earlier. (Or combo - I do tend to be more sensitive to caffeine, and assuming this drink was caffeine free.) Free WiFi and seating/outlets to do a bit of work here. Not a lot of seating for this, but it wasn't busy on a Thursday morning for a little work! Clean airy vibes, and convenient location in what I call the "Trader Joe's plaza".
