    Stumbled across this place this morning after a doctor's appointment- and what a hidden gem! My husband's breakfast sandwich looked delicious- and my turkey burger was perfection! All made in house, delicious! Highly recommend the tomato basil soup! Friendly staff and cute Down town vibes.

    Vibrant Veggie Omelette
    Rajeev L.

    Cute and healthy place with lots to choose from. We came in for breakfast on a Sunday morning and it wasn't too crowded so we were seated immediately. The food is fresh and tasty. You can indulge your sweet tooth or stay on the healthy side. It's all really good.

    Mediterranean salad (Full) with added turkey burger patty. Bourbon Barrel iced Latte too
    Beth H.

    Such a perfect lunch spot. Good whole food, unprocessed and fresh with a mix of excellent flavors. Service is great and consistent. Get takeout or dine in with table service. I hope they put the salmon avocado toast on the regular menu and never get rid of the tomato basil soup. Excellent bacon. Highly recommended. Fun vibe with plants. Bright front window and comfy seating.

    Breakfast golden potatoes
    Claudia S.

    The Ann Arbor avocado toast is the best I've ever had; tangy, creamy, so flavorful! And the roasted golden potatoes are always a must, I just love the perfect mix of herbs and spices. Their coffee is pretty decent too. The place is kinda plain but very clean and well kept. Customer service is great, the three times we've been there, the manager always goes out of his way to make our experience just right.

    2 egg breakfast
    Jesse G.

    Food was actually pretty good. This two star visit was due to service. Was seated quickly but sat for like 10 mins without anyone coming to take our drink order. Than after had to wait like 40 mins for our food. Was never checked on and I had to go check on our food order. Value would of been ok if service was good

    Avocado toast with goat cheese and an over easy egg!
    Jodie R.

    Wonderful, reasonably priced breakfast place in Ann Arbor (they serve lunch too!). My avocado toast with goat cheese was so good and my raspberry latte ws delicious with thick foam! Service was great and the owner came over to check on us too!

    Pineapple burger with Golden Brown Potatoes
    Dan M.

    I had the pineapple burger and subbed potatoes instead of chips. It was delicious. The play between the bacon pineapple and jack cheese was great. My girlfriend had the "smoking Lyle" (added an over medium egg)) this is a special/alternate avocado toast with salmon. She stated it was the best avocado toast she's ever had and this is her new favorite brunch spot.

    Fluffy French Toast
    Kevin Z.

    I've been meaning to come in for quite a while, but it usually has such a long wait at around 12. This time I came in Saturday at 10am and didn't have to wait long at all. The service is not the fastest but the waiters are super nice. I ordered the Indian masala omelette and it was really good. However, note that there are a lot of ginger so remember to request without it if you're not a huge fan. The French toast was sooo fluffy and had a strong vanilla flavor that u loved. Highly recommend.

    Chicken Burger
    Lily W.

    I'm not sure why there's such a high review for this place. Normally, Ann Arbor has really good restaurants. First, it's overpriced for the food. Second, the food is only decent. There was a lot of rave for the "French toast." But when you compare it with other nearby breakfast places it was only decent. Oh, don't be fool by pictures from others. The half stack is just 1 slice of bread cut into half to make it 2 pieces for $8.75. The full stack is 2 slice of bread cut into half so get 4 pieces. The chicken burger is so bland. The Michigan salad with chicken patty was also so sad. So come with low expectations when you come here.

    Spinach Feta Omelette

    Best breakfast in Ann Arbor 100%. Prompt, friendly service. They accommodate to allergens and dietary preferences with ease. The pancakes are absolutely fantastic. I also really enjoyed the spinach feta omelette. The chicken sausage is also great!

    Breakfast Wrap
    Vansh S.

    Absolutely amazing breakfast spot! Ambience is amazing, service is good and food is so fresh and non-greasy. Must visit if you're in Ann Arbor. We got 1/2 fluffy French toast and breakfast wrap (made spicy) with an avocado toast.

    Indian Masala Omelette Banana Walnut Pancake Fingerling Potatoes
    Nav S.

    Everything is perfect about this little place. I ordered a masala omelette and it was sooooo good. Perfect amount of spice, onions tomatoes. The omelette also came with a whole grain bread ( delicious). This is a MUST HAVE. My husband had the banana walnut pancakes ( still thinking about them because they were that good). Portions are huge. I had the chai latte which was pure perfection and my husband had the cappuccino. Overall you can tell they only use clean and organic ingredients. Service was fast and the hostess was super sweet, she checked up on us many times to see if we were okay or if we needed anything else. Very cute decor and they have a white board where you are welcome to write anything. Ps: street parking

    Breakfast Potatoes
    Marielle M.

    This food is so bland I couldn't finish it. I feel like they didn't use any salt at all, and it can't even be for health reasons because everything was very oily. It was just onion to season everything. What saved the wrap was I added bacon and avocado but even then I could only eat about half. Everything was cooked well it's just a seasoning problem. The potatoes had the same issue with huge pieces of garlic and heavy on the oil, but no salt. The cold brew was also watered down.

    Great healthy food with many (mostly) vegetarian options. The smoothies are delicious too. They also offer a 20% student discount.

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. The cardamom fig latte was unique and definitely tasted of both cardamom and fig. They have bagels and some pastries. I really liked the varied seating (comfy couches/chairs, tables, and bar seating) and plentiful outlets for getting work done. The wifi was fast and consistent. If I lived in the area this would be my go-to coffee shop. It's not the biggest space but it's definitely worth a visit!

I'm sorry, but if you work there, shouldn't you know--or at least be able to quickly find out--what teas you serve? ‍ Such a simple question turned into a ridiculously long wait. Cute, clean café, but the service and basic product knowledge definitely need some work. that's 15 minutes of my life. I won't get back for absolutely no reason.

My coffee was perfect. Just enough sweetness, but not too much. Just enough oat milk too. Why not 5 stars? The food is an afterthought. Go for the coffee, skip the food. Bagels are whole. Not sliced. Huh? That's okay because they must have sharp knives that slice easily through bagels. Nope. Might as well try cutting your bagel with a spoon. Because of the difficulty eating the bagels, they weren't finished. My "Cheesy-P" (terrible name) was just heated up in the microwave. Not much effort involved in that. We think our bagels weren't toasted, but heated up in the microwave too. Blah. A little more effort would go a whole lot further. The protein ball aren't really appealing either, but they might have been if the other food was decent. Coffee good. Skip the food. Seems like coffee shops with more food options, should really take it seriously. I don't think Roos does.
