    Non alcoholic drinks
    Sarah J.

    Went for yoga and brews. The yoga was a good balance of intensity and relaxation though it did start a couple minutes late. There are non alcoholic options for your brew that comes with the cost of the class. I got the current kombucha which was elderberry healer. Very tasty. The staff allowed me to try the switchel soda as well and that was super sweet and tart strawberry flavored. The soda is made with honey and apple cider vinegar.

    Love this place! Enjoyed a delightful evening here after dinner with a friend, a flight of meads and ciders, and a few boardgames out of the few dozen they have at the meadery. The meads and ciders they carry here are light and bubbly, on the drier side and not too sweet. They switch it up with a variety of seasonal flavors that keep you coming back to try something new. My friend really enjoyed the seasonal blueberry maple on nitro. Staff as usual is welcoming and friendly, it was particularly nice for them to let us finish up our board game later in the evening near to their closing-up time. Bathrooms are large and clean, it seems like originally this space was part of a commercial building so they retained the larger bathrooms. Street parking is generally available if you don't mind walking a few blocks, or there are a couple lots/structures around too. I LOVE that they have community events here, it's truly a boon for the neighborhood to have a pleasant spot to gather for trivia, boardgames, meetups and yoga.

    Updating my review to add a few things: 1. Wifi does work! I was being an idiot and didn't have the correct case for the password. 2. Mulled mead is my new fave winter drink 3. Trivia nights are soooo fun Overall highly recommend and will def be back!

    Great spot to gather with friends! Beautiful interior that feels very light and airy, and definitely a unique offering in the area with their meads and ciders. It feels like a fun alternative to all the other options around for beer, wine, cocktails.Flexible menu that allows you to get a full size drink if you know what you want, pre-set flights, or build your own. My friend was also able to try a small taste of a drink before committing to a full size. For my first time here, I wanted to do a flight to try more! Limited food menu that felt a little random (cheese plate, chocolate, oh and also a beef lasagna?) but honestly not complaining, everything sounded good. We stuck to drinks for this visit though. Blom also hosts a lot of events for the community, which I think is great. Board game nights, comedy, creator workshops, yoga, trivia, and lots more. The only thing for me is that I don't think I actually like mead that much... but that's a me issue! I would definitely recommend folks check this place out, potentially try something new, and decide for themselves if they like the mead :).

    Stopped in for a first time visit. 5-star on service. They were friendly & quick. Vibe was energetic and happy. It was Thursday night trivia and the place was packed. The reason for the 3-star is two fold. First, I just didn't love most of the ciders. We ordered the flight of 8. My two favorite were the pear-ginger and the absinthe, particularly the absinthe. Overall the ciders & meads are all very light and subtle; nothing remarkable to me. If that's your thing, you'll be happy. Second reason is the seating along the wall gets uncomfortable after a while. Stool seating that has no backs or place to rest your feet. Minor things (sort of) but if you're going to hang out for a while, comfort matters. Then again, we're probably a bit older than the usual demographic so take that for what it's worth! :)

    Mead - a classic Midwest drink! Absolutely delightful to see a meadery in Ann Arbor! I have come here a couple times and though I don't drink alcohol, all my friends who have tasted the honey wines and meads here have absolutely loved them! Many buying more of their pre-packaged cans to-go and I have also bought several as gifts for other friends as well who enjoy sweeter alcoholic beverages! What is even more wonderful about Blom in particular on top of their unique way of making their meads is that they make their own non-alcoholic drinks as well, my favorite being the Switchel which is their house made soda and is so sweet and so delightful going down! They also offer a whole selection of snacks and other foods to enjoy as well! Their pot pie in particular is DIVINE! Aaaaand to top it all off, they have a whole selection of games you can play from while you enjoy their food and drink AND their entire spot is dog friendly! The interiors are so beautifully designed and they have a patio and open up their garage-style doors during the nice weather so that their whole space feels outdoors as well. This is a wonderful place to visit with friends while you're in Ann Arbor if you want to enjoy quality snacks and drinks and have some serious fun! It's located in a bit of an odd location at the base of an apartment building, a block off of Main Street, so it's not conducive to the best people-watching, but it feels tucked away in a special way and I really love it!

    Came to try a 4oz pour of each of their meads which was delicious. Pours were reasonable priced and flavor descriptions were accurate. They had wifi and was able to get some work done while enjoying their meads. Cashier/bar service was quick and simple.

    I am a big hard cider fan. Was exciting to see a place dedicated to this. Good selection with flight options. Honestly, I only liked two out of the five that I tried. They are really carbonated and dry. The place is cute and lots of seating option. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. They also have free board games. Was only in town for the day but looked like they do events/yoga here. None of the ciders were good enough to buy any to go.

    Hi, are you all dog friendly?

    Hi there, Natasha! Technically we are not allowed to have dogs in the taproom...

    Are there board games available to play, other than during Thursday Board Game Nights?

    Yup, our board games are available all the time! On board game nights we have a game guru available who can answer questions, form groups, suggest games, and so on. We also have raffle prizes every week! But you're welcome to come in and play them… Read more

    I've been coming to Spicer Farm and Orchard every year with my family and friends ; it's become a…read morelittle fall tradition for us. However, during our most recent visit, we noticed quite a few changes from previous years, and unfortunately, not all for the better. They no longer have the scenic hayride that used to include a free donut and a cup of apple cider with your ticket purchase. Now, it's $5 per person, and instead of a peaceful scenic ride, it stops at every station and they no longer give you a donut & cider with ticket purchase. When we asked about the change, we were told it was because they weren't making money off the old setup. I understand businesses need to adjust, but it really took away from the experience. That scenic ride with the cider and donut was always one of the highlights for us ; something we truly looked forward to every year. They did add more bouncy houses for the kids, which is nice, but the ones they had before were just as fun. The food was about the same, decent, but nothing special. It was noticeably more expensive this year. $5 for a single ear of corn felt excessive. On the positive side, the cinnamon donuts are still amazing, and the apple cider is as delicious as ever. I also enjoyed the wine tasting, which is always fun, though seating is still limited and could be improved. Overall, the visit just didn't have the same charm or warmth as before. We still had an okay time, but it didn't feel as memorable as past years. Sadly, I think this might be our last year visiting, we'll probably look for a new orchard next fall.

    Had a lot of fun at Spicer's for their U-Pick Apples! It was a little confusing how to do…read moreeverything, ticketing-wise, but once we were out there, we had a great time. Enough space so you can wander without always having someone right by you.
