    Chicken Sandwich
    Mia M.

    Stopped in on a chilly Saturday afternoon for a coffee. It was very busy, bright, loud but incredibly fast service and we managed to find seats. Tons of yummy choices! Pistachio Latte for me and Chicken Sandwich for the kiddo. Yum.

    If you are looking for amazing pastries, croissants, unique desserts and great coffee, look no further. A small cafe and bakery with inside seating and (outside in the summer) downtown Ann Arbor. The biggest challenge you will have as you look over their artful display of goods, is deciding what to order. On this visit my wife ordered the Egg and Cheese Croissant. I had the Bacon, Egg and Cheese Croissant. Their Croissants are very nice size, flaky, buttery with so much flavor, they are the perfect compliment to the fluffy eggs and cheese. I also added one of their Ribbon Cinnamon Pastries. The Cinnamon was textural and unlike any cinnamon pastry we have ever had before. Definitely is now one of our favorites. Great coffee too. You order at the counter when you go in, and their staff brings your order to you at your table. Servers are friendly and available if you need anything additional. Absolutely recommend checking them out. We have also been in their Detroit location on Grand River. So happy they chose Ann Arbor!

    One of my favorite cafes to go to downtown! All of the pastries are so tasty and classy. There is plenty of seating, and I always feel like I can focus better with the French jazz music in the background. There are more seats in the back and also outside.

    How have I never known this place existed?! We stopped in for a breakfast sandwich before seeing a movie. I wanted to order 1 of each croissant! It was busy so I didn't have time to view them all but will definitely return soon for an almond croissant! It's a small place with seating available up front for more of a coffee shop setting and then in the back is more table seating which is where we sat. The bacon, egg, cheese sandwich was amazing! I ordered mine without lettuce and tomato. The egg is super fluffy and bacon was crispy which is the way I like it. It was delicious and whatever the MT sauce was, it just elevated it to a gourmet sandwich for me. I ordered hot tea with cream and I love that they froth it for me and serve it in a teapot. The restrooms are gender neutral and very clean and spacious. Service was friendly and prompt and they bring your order to the table. We can't wait to return on our next trip to Ann Arbor!

    Those big bubbles represent a steaming wand that got the better of a barista, and produce a drink that is far less enjoyable to sip.

    There is a lot to love about Cannelle, but there are a few things that just do not quite measure up to their obviously high standards of quality. It's clear that a lot of thought, care, love, and passion has gone into this shop. The ambiance is elegant without being stuffy. And who would not love a beautiful place to sit, enjoy a gorgeous pastry, and just take a moment or twelve for a bit of much needed self care? The layout of the place is a bit tricky, because if you walk in the door and approach the counter to place an order, you will have missed out on peeping the glorious pastry case around the right side of the counter. Pro tip: Check out the pastries first. Take your time. Eat with your eyes. Not everything is quite as amazing as it looks, but trust your gut and your keen sense of observation. For me, the one consistent disappointment in the pastry department has been their macaron. Your milage my vary. I am quite particular when it comes to these delicate treats. I'm also rather particular about my cappuccino. While Canelle has the tools in place to make a good one, the one I was served was tragic. If I were feeling snarky, I might say something like, "The 80s called and wanted their cappuccino back." Those big fat bubbles on the textured milk that crowned the cup I was served harkened back to an earlier era when these coffee drinks were still new and novel. I should have known something was up when I ordered a small cappuccino and was told it would be twelve ounces. Mon dieu! It was tragic. Or, as Alanis Morissette once said, it was "like a black fly in your chardonnay." Reading through other reviews, it seems like the tea service might be the winning option. I'll give it a try the next time I'm in. Although hopefully someone might pick up the slack and get the coffee program in line with the otherwise delightfully high standards of this downtown gem. By the way, the staff are great. There was a much more serious mistake with something else that was ordered at my table, and the offending dish was quickly whisked away and replaced quickly and with a smile. Bravo!

    Lemon tart
    Minji K.

    The shop had a lovely and wide selection of pastries, including tarts, cakes, and savory bread. Of course I had to try almost everything and had thoughts! The tart with pistachio cream and raspberry was by far my favorite. It was recommended by the worker who was packaging the pastries and I'm so glad I tried it. If you like pistachio flavor, this smooth and sweet cream is a dreamy one. The addition of raspberries gave it a slight tartness and the crust was slightly crumbly. The mixed fruit tart was also very refreshing after a heavy meal! I liked how it included fruits you don't normally find on tarts such as dragonfruit, mango, and grapes. It gave it a tropical feel and was not overly sweet! My next favorite was the chocolate croquant. It looks like a layered chocolate cake but it has a crunchy layer to it that was so unexpected and wonderful! Highly recommend for the chocolate lovers out there. The raspberry tart and other pasties were good but not anything unexpected. Overall, I don't think you could go wrong with any of these freshly baked treats! There's plenty of seating indoors and very cute tables outdoors as well. Would be a great place to stop by while exploring East Washington Street!

    Over the last 2+ years, I've ordered several large sheet cakes from Cannelle for events. This review is about these experiences, which have been very positive. I recommend Cannelle for special event cake orders in Ann Arbor. The ordering and pick-up processes has always always gone seamlessly, and the staff has always been very helpful. I've always ordered over the phone, and they only require a few days' advance notice. Although the cakes are pricey (as of my most recent order, a full sheet cake was $213.20), they're actually cheaper than Zingerman's Bakehouse---I found this surprising. The cakes are always beautifully decorated. Some of the cake flavors I recommend are (in descending order): -Fraisier - vanilla cake, strawberries, and cream. -Chocolate Raspberry - chocolate mousse, raspberry cream, raspberry coulis, and chocolate cake. -Chocolate Croquant - it's very rich and dense, like a Ferrero Rocher. It has both chocolate mousse and a crunchy chocolate nut layer. -Raspberry Pistachio Macaron - two layers of macaron shell, with pistachio cream mousseline and raspberries in the middle. -Seasonal tarts - the flavors rotate and are always fun to try. I think the chef changes the cake recipes periodically. E.g., a few months ago the chocolate raspberry was very sweet, but in my most recent order it was more balanced; a previous version of the tiramisu was less chocolatey than the current version. Other cakes I've tried are the Chocolate Strawberry Cake (the chocolate raspberry is better), Mille-Feuille (mostly custard with 2 layers of puff pastry), Lemon Raspberry Cake (texture wasn't my favorite), and Tiramisu (very rich, very heavy on the cocoa and chocolate). The cakes are definitely on the richer and sweeter side; for lighter cake options, I would recommend Yoon's Bakery instead. I don't recommend their viennoiseries; I would stick to the cakes instead. I haven't tried many of their individual pastries, but these come in a wider selection and many of them appear to rotate seasonally. Although the quality doesn't compare to that of bakeries in larger cities, they're a good option for Ann Arbor.

    After my initial review about this place I got a "compliment" from a yelper with a note that EDUCATED me on what Latte is Thanks so much BUT Wikipedia says [Latte[a] (/lte, læte/)[1][2] or caffè latte (Italian: [kaff llatte]),[3][4] also known as caffè e latte, caffellatte, or caffelatte, is a coffee drink of Italian origin made with espresso and steamed milk, traditionally served in a glass. In America I have never walked into a cafe expecting a menu that says "Latte" and they only expect them to give you MILK. It's not Italy nor italian cafe. It's French btw. ALSO lets say if pistachio syrup + Milk is Latte. Those two ingredients for $7+ i don't know if that's okay too? Anyways THIS is my review so stop sending me passive aggressive messages trying to educate me in italian :) I love Cannelle but i stand by my review for this location, two stars for what i enjoyed, and lost three stars on customer service price and taste of their coffee in THIS particular location. My initial encounter with their good espresso was in a different location in Detroit.

    Excellent pastries! They have so many different types of sweet and savory croissants, as well as a whole variety of sweet cakes and treats. My favorites are their chocolate pistachio croissant and their ham and cheese croissant. This location also has really good (and big) looking breakfast and lunch sandwiches. Fun coffee options and flavored coffee drinks, but I mostly prefer to get tea when I'm here to pair with and cut down the sweetness of the pastries. Different kinds of seating options inside, for different vibes. Tables, booths, and more loungey chairs. Friendly service! Drinks and food are served to your table after you order at the counter.

    If you read nothing else, I would say go here. It's worth popping into at least, because it has some gorgeous pastries. I only tried a few, but everything was good enough to get again for me. I love the unique combinations and offerings, I was so excited to try this place and it did not disappoint! The ambiance is pretty cute, you can go and sit down if there's seating, though it was quite busy. They went out of their way to make sure we found a place to sit which was nice! Food was delivered to the table and we got recommendations from the lady we checked out with, so it was a great experience overall. Check it out!

    Raspberry chocolate

    We found ourselves downtown and had to pop in for some tasty croissants to take back home. The service and ambiance were bright and pleasant. I drool over their beautiful displays of culinary artistry!

    Cinnamon roll and coffee
    Mark L.

    This is the third Cannelle location I have visited. Each location has a different feel, and this Ann Arbor location is no different. I had to try the cinnamon roll, and it was excellent, nice and cinamony rolled in Cannelle's flaky layers. Very yummy. The coffee was served in a mug. It is pretty dark (as expected at a French cafe). The service was friendly. They offered a coffee mug, and to warm the roll (yes, please). A high open ceiling with darker wood and white tile floor. Lots of natural light.There are various seating for a bit of work, meeting someone, having a bite to eat, or a reading a book. It is easy to miss the location on Washington street with the small sign.

    I missed picking one of these up from one of their other stores. So glad I did not miss out on this seasonal peachy dessert.

The main thing Drip House has going for it is that it is effectively the only coffee spot to sit and study or meet someone right by the stadium (where a bunch of us live and/or work). It is also open into the early evening when a lot of other coffee spots aren't. And we do love an outside seating option. The service has always been just fine and it's a pretty cute spot (not to sound ridiculously nit-picky but while we're here--someone might wanna sheer some of the many dead leaves off the beautiful plant inside though). Also, the banana oat latte they had as a special a couple months ago was delicious. So yummy. Some things I don't love about Drip House: the blue chairs. So uncomfortable. It is expensive and, dare I say, overpriced. The first time I got my $14 piece of ricotta toast, it was delicious. And I figured, fine. It's $14 for a piece of bread with a little cheese and jam but it's so yummy, I'll splurge every once in a while and go with it. Plus, I can't eat tree nuts, so it is one of the few options for me. However, the second time I got it, it was most definitely not worth it. The "whipped" ricotta was just a sad, thin wet layer and there was practically no jam. I get it. It's expensive out here. We're living in the shadows of the avocado toast economy where espresso drinks cost minimum $7 and you effectively can't buy anything for less than $4. But just because you feel like you *can* doesn't mean you *should.* Paying $14 for a piece of bread.... Come on. It's insulting. It feels exploitative. Will i be going back? Yes, because of the proximity and sometimes a girl needs to go for a cute little walk to get a coffee--just to feel something. Would I if there was a competing coffee shop nearby? That remains to be seen. Also the size of the "large" iced drink. Come on guys.

We found nearby street parking and we were able to get a spot on a comfy couch that was near a power strip. There isn't a ton of seating so I imagine it can get busy throughout the day. The building is historic and also houses a coworking space which has a lot of really great amenities. The vibe inside the coffee shop is cozy but modern, and I loved the decor. They also had some really great merch - the tote bags were calling my name! I ordered the cardamom fig latte and Nate got a golden milk latte. They do that thing where they just yell out the name of the drink rather than taking your name, but I loved everything else about this place.
