They have a good variety of both sweet and savory treats. I got 2 croquettes (1 kimchi and 1 curry), a beef frank roll, a mini mango cake and a strawberry croissant. All of this was around $20 if I recall, which is not bad for these types of places that tend to overcharge. The customer service here was fine as well, although for some reason one of the employees gave me a weird look when I told her I wanted to take my order to go. Not sure how to interpret that, but it's a minor complaint. All the food I got was delicious, and I resisted the urge to eat it all at once

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!

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.

My favorite place in Ann Arbor!!! This shop has expanded so much over the years and I'm glad to see…read moreit flourishing. They have an INCREDIBLE selection of teas, pastries and assorted home goods. Fueled by local artists and tea lovers, their gift-shop is the perfect place to get a unique gift for a loved one. Fun fact! The owners helped co-write "Tea for Dummies"! Several gluten free options- I had the almond cake and it was to die for! Staff is very helpful and will let you smell all the teas you'd like. We ended up going home with several 100g bags to stock up for fall. The Tea is available in 50g, 100g, and 200g amounts and priced by blend. Most of them are between $6-10 per 50g. Very reasonably priced! Parking is street parking. There are meters directly out front, and around all sides of the building.

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.

Service was excellent and attentive! I enjoyed the bread service, roadhouse simple salad, French fries, chicken basket with cole slaw and mashed potatoes, and a strawberry specialty cocktail. The breading on the fried chicken was perfection, and the bread AS ALWAYS was delicious. The mashed potatoes and gravy were probably the best I've ever had at a restaurant. Absolutely holiday home style with great texture. Downsides: too many assorted flying insects on the patio, the pimiento cheese was nearly flavorless, fries were underdone for my liking, and pricing too high and portions too small for the chicken basket.

The food was great 17 years ago when I got three meats and two sides for $11:99 or add Mac n cheese for $15.99. Now at $32 with tip and just water, the smoked bbq pulled beef sandwich was just ok, not a big portion by any means and they do not leave the sauces so whatever is on your sandwich is it. The entree came with fries small portion and a Cole slaw. At these prices, I think, I am done with the roadhouse.

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.
