Sweetwaters is a chain that started in the Ann Arbor area that features "globally influenced…read morecoffees and teas." Nate and I frequent them while we're in A2 and recently visited this location for the first time. It's located in a strip mall and is connected to the Westgate branch of Ann Arbor District Library. The employee taking our order was super patient and friendly! I got a large oat milk latte and a croissant breakfast sandwich, and Nate got an Earl Grey tea with a pretzel bun breakfast sandwich. Our food and drinks came out in a timely manner and they asked our name for the order (bonus for this, #iykyk). The shop is interesting because the library doesn't actually open until 10 am, but there is seating available for the coffee shop and people were walking around/browsing the library for at least an hour before they opened. I've never seen such a set up but it seems to work for them! I really liked the latte - it was smooth and creamy, and the sandwich was flaky and savory. They have a great rewards program and overall I really like this chain. Parking is quite easy compared to some of the other Sweetwaters locations, which is nice!

My husband and I went on a Saturday morning and were blown away by the experience- specifically the…read morebreakfast sandwiches. The pork patty sandwich was so flavorful and satisfying. The egg focaccia sandwich was creamy and the bread so savory but light! All the pastries that we got were incredibly flavorful but my favorite was the chili crisp scone.

The parking lot is tiny, and I was miffed on my latest trip (on a weekday morning, no less) that it…read morewas full, meaning I had to park in a nearby neighborhood. The cinnamon rolls are worth it, and this latest trip had me going for a yuzu lemon meringue bar, which struck the perfect balance of not too sweet, but also not a bland flavorless hellscape, which a lot of "not too sweet" dessert can fall into. Rather tempted to make the trip and get one again before they go away for the year. I will note that loaf cakes, like the apple cake and the olive oil cake, were a bit disappointing--dry, and in the former case, lacking in apples.

If you're looking for finely crafted and very unique coffee downtown you have to try Moka. Their…read morelattes are very good and the Turkish coffee is excellent. The pastry selection is also very strong and it's a really nice place to get away from the cold. Seriously I can't recommend the Turkish coffee enough! All their roasts are fantastic so it's really worth it to try something you haven't had before.

This is a great coffee shop & I'm so glad to see it in downtown Ann Arbor. The coffee and the…read moredessert were great. The space is nice and well put together. I might actually buy coffee and tea as holiday gifts for my coworkers. The reason for the 4 star instead of 5 is because the women's bathroom was not clean, customer service can be improved, and some music can really make the cafe more inviting. I made coupe of orders, one included dessert. I was handed the cake with no fork, had to ask for one. Wasn't given napkins and didn't bother asking. I might sound petty, but honestly the product can be great. However, customer service is what brings customers back. There needs to be proper training. If I'm going to spend money and do everything myself and ask for everything that should be the basic/ standard, then I might as well make my coffee at home. It terms of music, I think it would amplify the space. When I stopped by the cafe, I was the only one in the main space and it was dead silent and all I can hear is the buzzing of the cooler that had the water and pop/ drinks. Some light music in the background would've blocked that noise. I only share this because I would love to see this business thrive.

Whenever someone new is coming to the area, and they ask for a recommendation or a place to meetup, this is my go to suggestion. The cafe is in a great location- right on Jackson Ave and near a I-94 exit. There is a parking lot and additional street parking nearby if needed. The inside of the cafe is very welcoming and cozy, but they also have an outdoor area that is great for the warm days. I highly recommend trying the honeycomb, Shakshuka, or Ful! Also, don't be shy about asking for more pita bread if you think you'll need it - plus it's so tasty and fluffy. Bon Appetit

I just discovered Biggby Coffee, and I'm a little bit obsessed…read more What I like: The drinks! The caramel mocha is smooth and light. Other places make mochas that taste like hot chocolate or that make you feel like you've eaten a giant piece of chocolate afterwards. I've had the brewed coffee, the butterbear and a handful of other drinks...and I loved them all. For the kids, they have flavored lemonades and smoothie-like options, too. And, they don't carry donuts, which eliminates the kiddos begging for sugar during the visit. What I don't like: The menu is crazy huge. I had to go inside and get an actual booklet of drinks to understand the choices. You can't just order a drink here. "Do you want it hot, iced or frozen?" I feel if I wanted it iced or frozen, I would have said so. "Three or four shots?" Again, if I wanted extra shots, I would have asked for them. I walk away feeling as if they are trying to upsell me, not really get me the drink of my dreams. At this location in particular, parking and getting out can be tricky. It's a sad little strip mall. Heck, it's too small to even be considered a strip mall! But, the staff is super friendly, so I'll continue to shell out $5+ for my mocha and be on my way.

I can't say enough good things about TeaHaus. I love tea, and feel like it doesn't get as much love…read moreas coffee in terms of just the experience of tasting, smelling, etc. Thankfully, they ship, so I can order my teas when I get back home as well. Honestly, I was a bit overwhelmed when I came in. There's a tea bar area, the loose leaf tea wall, pastries and other desserts, swag, a tasting area, and apparently it was trivia night tonight. I experienced all of this in just the first minute or two of entering. And it was packed! I really appreciate the time taken to explain the shop to me and walk me through many of the teas. Although they were busy, I didn't feel rushed (there were 2-3 people working the registers) and it felt very personal chatting. I was able to smell a bunch, and could really tell the differences in them. I ended up getting 3 50g bags and 2 sample bags, plus some stickers and pins. Really excited to try these out. Their range goes from darker to lighter, and they have a wide variety of black, green, rooibos, and herbal teas/blends.

It's bigger than it looks from the outside!…read more There is some seating by the windows and then some near the back area (behind the "tea bar"). They are selling really cute tea ornaments and they have other things like tea pots and cards with funny phrases like "It was you Oolong." They don't have a physical menu because the flavors constantly change. You can look online but for the most part, have to stand behind the counter in diff areas to see alll the flavors! I spotted Almond Milk Tea and she let me smell it and I was sold! It smelled wonderful! When it was actually brewed, it was ok though. It doesn't really have milk in it either :0p My MIL got the Hisbiscus (a tad too sour) and my husband got the Japanese Cherry green tea (that was good and has a mild flavor if you like that sort of thing). They have signs on the table that there is no Wifi because they encourage unplugged conversations and connections.

Then I saw a nearby table order brunch food after I had already ordered, so that may have just been a misunderstanding on my end. I still ended up getting the Roadhouse omelet with fries and a biscuit though, and everything was delicious. Everyone in my family loved their meals, and then... the desserts. The cheesecake was divine, the carrot cake was incredible, and they even gave me a scoop of gelato for my graduation celebration. Overall just a really great experience. Definitely somewhere I'd recommend and come back to try more of the menu.

On my recent visit, we enjoyed a burger, garlic cilantro fries, two paletas and a chocolate espanol batido (shake) from the Frita Batidos truck. The paletas and batido were both impressive. I had the lime and summer fruits paleta and it was probably the best popsicle of my life. Very fresh fruit flavors and real fruit in the paleta. The chocolate espanol batido had spices, including lots of cinnamon in a chocolate shake - it was really excellent with intense flavor. The burger and fries were also excellent. And they kindly split the burger for us and played the two halves very nicely. While at HOMES Campus, I also picked up a few excellent chocolates from BonBonBon.
