Absolutely love this local gem! It's such a welcome addition to the neighborhood -- exactly the…read morekind of spot we needed. What sets it apart for me is the variety of savory baked goods, which are often hard to find. Everything I've tried has been delicious, but the breakfast galette is hands-down my favorite. Additional plug for my favorite latte in Ann Arbor: Strider's vanilla ube which is served here :) The service is always fantastic -- warm, friendly, and impressively quick, even when they're busy. We've also had the chance to enjoy their weekend brunch, and it was just as wonderful. You can tell there's real care put into both the food and the overall experience. Highly recommend! One thing to note: the seating is very limited inside, but there are picnic tables with umbrellas outside or lots of neighborhoods to walk in on either side of the intersection.

Told 830am is the time to come. 2 scones and the bill is close to 13 with tip. The scone was savory. Hints of green onion and occasional crunch. Good, not remarkable. A bit pricey considering it's mostly just flour.

They work hard to create community by hosting board game nights and other events especially in the basement and by having no laptop tables in half the upstairs to encourage conversation. Service is good. Only 4 stars instead of 5 because parking is very limited and those premium ingredients come at a premium price.

DIVINE! If you like your smoothie with ice chips in it, this is perfect for you. The chocolate…read morechips really add such a great texture. The ice cream is definitely on the creamier and less sweet side, but it makes it feel so good to eat! Guilt free. The store is also a small business so it feels good to support.

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. This is a great place to study or hangout with friends. There's plenty of space and very comfortable seating! There's great history in their art hung and I loved learning more about the culture while I was there too!

I also ordered from them for a work event and the whole process working with them was great so I would wholeheartedly recommend!

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.

I've only come here a few times but I can say the pumpkin chai with a shot of espresso is worth a…read morestop, I don't care the distance! So good. It's $7 and some change which in today's economy unfortunately is a steal. It's definitely sweet and I wouldn't recommend it for a morning drink, but more as a treat. I'm giving it four stars just because it is a small space with a small parking lot, and so I feel like it's important to have your expectations prepared. You might not be able to find a spot and I'm not sure if there's an alternative place or if you're just out of luck... I'll try to find out. Similarly with inside, it tends to have most of the spots taken except the "bar" seats. The muffin was also dry despite look succulent, but everything can't be perfect. Try to pumpkin chai!

After thoroughly searching Yelp, Google, and Reddit, I decided to check out Moonwinks this time. I arrived right as they were opening at 8 am and immediately loved the parking lot and plentiful seating inside. They also have some outside seating. Ann Arbor seems to have quite a few of these cafe/bar combination concepts so I think this spot turns into a bar in the evening. I ordered the Sammy's best (bacon, egg, spinach, tomato, swiss, and garlic aioli) on an asiago bagel as well as an oat milk latte. They brought my order out to my table when it was ready. The wifi was super fast and I was able to get quite a bit of work done. The bagel sandwich was super tasty and the asiago bagel was the cheesiest I've had in awhile! The garlic aioli gave it a bit of a zip and I really enjoyed this. The latte was smooth and creamy, not the best I've ever had, but it did the trick. I'm so glad I gave this spot a chance and will definitely be back the next time I'm in town. It was getting pretty busy by 9 am, so get there early if you'd like a table.
