There is outdoor seating too. We ordered a lemon bar and it surprisingly had a subtle lemon flavor so it's not too sour and it had a good texture. My husband said the coffee was ok. I didn't get to try a latte cause we had an event after but their menu looks good! Service was good too and bathroom was pretty clean.

We tried a flight featuring their light roast Ethiopia Natural along with a seasonal pumpkin spice latte. The flight had some nice fruity notes -- not the best we've had (body, complexity) , but still enjoyable, and it was great to see this option on the menu. The pumpkin spice latte was a highlight: refreshing, with a strong pumpkin spice flavor that really stood out. Overall, a charming and worthwhile stop if you're in Ann Arbor.

My husband is a coffee snob and he likes this place!!…read more I like sweet coffees and ordered their cold brew with vanilla syrup and oat milk. It tasted amazing and yet simple! I definitely will order it again! They also give you a coin for a free drink if you buy a bag of coffee beans. Fun times! Inside has a cozy atmosphere but is pretty small and can be hard to find seating. There is only one bathroom too for everyone. The baristas are nice and energetic! They also have the best art on their sign outside.

I wish they had more notes on the tasting notes! But they do have a handy graphic there about the roasting spectrum. And each bag is stamped with the roasted date on there. Can't wait to grinds some up at home. They also have plenty of swag there - I didn't expect to find a journal with RoosRoast stamped on there...but I did! Very friendly service there as well.

Guys you have no idea how disappointed I am. I went here when I went to college at umich and I…read moreremember the coffee being TOP NOTCH, like~2019. I know it's been like 6 years but I was so excited to go back. COFFEE NOW TASTES LIKE SEWAGE WATER. I brought all my friends here and nobody liked their drinks. Very bitter, very watery and weak tasting. It's really bad. My friends got iced mochas btw and I got an iced caramel latte. Bummer because this is such a cute place but literally I'm about to go to literati for a coffee bc I'm throwing this out. I do like how they use pebble ice though

Just high…read morequality matcha that you can see (such a beautiful bright green) and taste, innovative mixing tool that still uses the classic matcha whisk, and an oat milk option. I also love their chai tea latte! I'm not a coffee drinker, but have heard that their coffees are excellent and thoughtfully sourced as well. Located in Q Bakehouse which is perfect - you definitely will want to snag some treats to go with your beverage while you're there! More of a grab and go place, but there is a small amount of seating there to enjoy there if you'd like too!

Super excellent rotating coffees with friendly knowledgeable baristas. Don't miss the cafe rico!read more

I've only been here once, but it was mighty good!!…read more First off, the shop is located on main st so parking isn't always easily available, but it's certainly worth the find. This isn't the biggest coffee shop and it can get crowded (I took mine to go). I ordered the brown sugar sea salt latte which was such an amazingly good combination, I think it's definitely one of their more popular lattes. I haven't tried any food, but they had some very good looking sweets!

My office has been sourcing our coffee from MG for years but they are on strike-four with us at…read morethis point. It became all too much with wrong orders, not staffed during posted hours and being inconsistent. The decision isn't up to me, and I am sorry to say we had to switch vendors. I loved this place when it was a stop for breakfast. The staffing issues have been a lot to deal with and now screwing up coffee supply for an office is too much. My receptionists have to get the morning coffee for 26 people or there are a lot of grumps that they have to deal with first thing in the morning. Coffee is still good though.

I frequent this plaza a lot for Plum Market, Ricewood and my colorist. Ahead of an appointment, I…read moredecided I needed a quick caffeine fix. I'm familiar with Qahwah House thanks to Yelp! We had a Yelp event at their Dearborn location. I really wanted the iced Adeni chai that a few reviews have talked about, but they were unfortunately out. So, I got the hot Adeni chai with no sweetener. It does take a little longer as they brew it fresh. You can watch them heat and steep from the induction stove right there which is pretty cool. I was surprised by how spacious it was. There were ample tables (that I appreciated they were wiping down on a regular basis) as well as WiFi. If I need to change up scenery, I'll have to stop by here. Also they had a whole refrigerated case of goodies. I'll have to come back and get something - that Pistachio dream cheesecake was calling to me!

Honestly, I had an average experience. The barista was nice and helped recommend a great refresher…read morebut nothing special. We went when there was a student discount (buy one get one free) so that was great, but to be honest, I probably wouldn't go if one of my drinks weren't free- the prices are crazy! But, I guess I can't complain given my normal Starbucks order is around the same cost. Drinks were tasty but the refresher was kind of bland. Again, if we're comparing to Starbucks, I probably would still choose my regular refresher there over this one. Environment was quiet, clean, and easy to study, however it was SO hot! I'm wondering if the heat was on. Not sure why that would be the case since it was the middle of September. Overall, I was a little disappointed with my experience. It did not stand out to me and was overwhelming because of the heat.

The place is very inclusive and we saw a variety of folks inside. Their menu isn't large and it seems to be more of a "serious" coffee joint, which is fine by me. That said, we both went with one of the current specials, the blueberry pie latte (one iced and one hot). It took a while for the drinks to be ready, but they were fairly busy inside. The flavor of the espresso was good, but the blueberry pie flavor was lacking. I'd go back but probably wouldn't get a flavored beverage next time. Thanks, Hyperion!

Do not get beans here. Do not let them grind them. I like to support local shops when I am…read moretraveling and I have my own espresso maker. I asked for espresso grind. When I opened the bag I could tell right away it was too fine. I attempted to pull a shot, but got nothing. It was most definitely Turkish grind. Since I could do nothing with the bag, I went back to explain this was ground too fine. The same individual was there and reacted with condensation, saying this is indeed espresso grind, which is basically Turkish, and he doesn't know what kind of maker I have so he cannot dial it in. I said I have never had this problem in the years I have done this at other shops. He acted like he could do nothing for me, so when I pressed that I can do nothing with these beans I spent money on, he got on the phone. At one point I heard him say, "Yes, I tried to explain that to her." As if I didn't know what I was talking about. I was finally given the option to get a bag of beans without having them ground, which is all I really wanted. I can grind the beans in my own grinder at home. I went down the street and bought a bag of beans there. I asked for espresso grind and mentioned that the last place gave me Turkish. She had to look up the appropriate setting, but she got it perfect. When I got home and opened the bag of beans from Black Iron, the beans were oily and smelled burnt. My coffee tasted that way, too. I was rather shocked because the latter I had ordered with my purchase was not bad. I had to use them up slowly by masking the bad taste with my go-to beans.

They have since changed owners since I last visited, and had the opportunity to meet the new owners daughter who was working on bar that day. She is so friendly and makes a great macchiato!
