Stopped her for a coffee before meeting our friends for brunch. Beautiful little shop. Super clean and beautifully decorated with wood tile floors and jewel toned walls. They offer coffee, tea and food in addition to fresh baked goods. Order at the counter and items are placed at the end of the "bar" for pickup. I had the pistachio latte (half sweet), with skim milk - phenomenal! I love pistachio and rarely ever find it so it was a very happy surprise for my morning. Prices are similar to any coffee shop. Barista and counter lady were kind. They have seating available inside. Check them out if you're in the area.
I stopped in this morning on my way to work. Fabulous place! Their pastries are unbelievable! Definitely get the honeycomb and cheese danishes! I'll try the coffees next time, as they have some very unique offerings which sound amazing.
Cute little cafe with quick service. Ambiance inside is nice, there are lots of outlets and it's quiet if you need to do work. The honeycomb was delicious warmed up. The 19's latte was a great balance of cardamom and a slight vanilla flavor. It wasn't too sweet
Nice option for Yemeni coffee, tea, pastries, and food items (including full meals!) on the West Side! Super conveniently located right off 94. 5 star staff - everyone I interacted with there was super nice. I wasn't sure what to get (also had a little difficulty reading the small text on the screen menu - a menu on the checkout counter could be helpful!) so I asked for a recommendation that was decaf. They told me they could make all their coffee drinks decaf! Forgot to ask if they had non-dairy milk options, as that's usually my preference - that's on me. They have free WiFi and outlets, which made this cafe nice for a couple hours of work this afternoon. (WiFi did cut out briefly, but came back quickly.) It's not large, but never was more full than capacity. There was a mix of people there on their laptops and just chatting and catching up with friends over food and beverages. Self serve water station as well, which was nice. Easy parking on site. I was too full today to try food while I was there, but want to come back to try their pastries! Particularly the honeycomb bread :).
A cute Yemeni coffee shop located on a corner off of Jackson on the west side of Ann Arbor. They offer some delicious Yemeni pastries, like honeycomb bread, which is my favorite, and delicious Yemeni tea, which is my personal preference over coffee. The interior space of 19 Drips is pretty large, so it can hold a lot of different parties and is a great place for coworking. There is wifi available to all paying customers, so my friend and I worked from here for an hour or two without any issues except for one point where the internet cut out for a couple minutes, which wasn't a big deal. The bathroom area is a bit of a contrast to how open and clean the cafe space is. They are dark and feel a bit jarring in how much dirtier they are compared to the open areas. Ultimately wasn't anything too terrible that I couldn't use the bathroom, but it was a big enough difference for me to make a note of it. All in all, a great option for working from a coffee shop and just trying out a more unique coffee shop than your standard run-of-the-mill ones that you can find all over Ann Arbor. Plus, this has the added benefit of being further from campus, so the crowd here is a lot less on the student-front and more locals/young working adults. It was a good vibe!
Came here for lunch and am not a big coffee person so I can only speak for the food. We were excited to try Yemeni food, some dishes for the first time. The staff at the counter insisted on hummus and I'm glad they did because it is incredible. We also got labneh, also good, tastes like a cream cheese spread (it's yogurt!). The generous olive oil on both dips definitely makes them very enjoyable. The mutabbaq was thin and crispy, and fresh lime definitely improved the flavor. We were a bit confused by the shakshuka because it was basically an egg scramble and not a tomatoey stew kind of thing like we expected. We enjoyed it, though. This amount of food (it was a lot of pita) left two of us very full. Looking forward to coming again for drinks and trying some of their rice bowls or other dishes!
This is a cute little coffee shop with tasty food. Their chicken especially is well seasoned. Their coffee is high quality and they spend time making it correctly. The staff are kind and helpful. Great spot to get work done and there's free onsite parking.
This is the second location of 19 Drips which replaced Songbird Cafe. My coffee snob friend likes coming here to get work done and drink good coffee. I really liked that the menu had a lot of snobby black coffee options like Chemex, Aeropress, Clever Dripper, etc. Next time, I'll have to try these out, but this time, I went with the mocha with oat milk. For 12 oz, it was $5.72 after tax which isn't too bad. It is 80 cents up charge for a milk alternative. I found that the mocha wasn't too sweet which was nice. I could tell this wasn't just hot chocolate (could taste the espresso). Overall, it was very pleasant. My friend and I had a good time catching up here and drinking the mocha. They also have a bunch of breakfast/brunch food options here that I'd like to try next time. Great new spot in Ann Arbor, but sad to see Songbird go.
Their new location is a huge improvement!!! (And trust me I liked their old location! It was so cozy!) Their new location is in the old west side Songbird Cafe. This place has way more seating and parking. It also seems like they expanded their menu since the last time I visited. Can't wait to try it! Also a water jug looks like was added to if you're thirsty! Overall great vibes and happy to be here. Like always, their atmosphere is 100% on point. So relaxing and happy that I DONT want to put in headphones. The perfect coffee shop vibe with awesome jazz music. My only comment is that their menu above the cash register is a bit hard to read with the small font. But for someone who's incredibly nearsighted I appreciated the handheld menu available at the register. Great improvement 19 Drips! Happy to support your business!
This 19 Drips location is a really great addition to the west side community. I've tried a few things on their food menu - and nothing I've had has blown my mind EXCEPT the pictured honeycomb bread. They warm it and top it with honey - it's divine. Their chai is good, though not my favorite in town since I prefer a pretty spicy chai. But it's not too sweet and is at least my favorite chai on this side of town! Service is always friendly and their space is great (though it's popular and often pretty packed).
Lovely spot serving solid cold brew and lattes. Didn't get a chance to try the food but I enjoyed the coffee. The cold brew had depth and a nice level of bitterness. The Rawaq Latte was delicious with a nice cinnamon flavor. Ambience is quiet. I enjoyed the modern decor with Middle Eastern touches and playful murals. Lots of outdoor seating as well. read more

If been to this cafe MANY MANY times, and I've never been disappointed with the food, drinks, or atmosphere. I go here to study, hang out "alone", and meet with friends. 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 read more

Surprised this didn't have any reviews yet but wow I was super excited to hear 19 Drips would be opening a new location over the summer! This location is located where Songbird cafe used to be and features all the original spot's delicious drinks as well as an expanded breakfast and lunch menu. The couple of times I've been here I've gotten a matcha latte and it is absolute perfection! So silky smooth with such a delightful flavor. The interior is nice and spacious with plenty of seating as well as some outdoor tables. The customer service here (and at the og location) is beyond compare. They are always super friendly and welcoming. I'm excited to try some of their breakfast items! read more
This coffee shop has a great variety of coffees, teas, and food items. Really enjoyed the Yemeni inspired items. The 19s latte is really good and has a strong cardamom flavor. The 19s tea, which I think is Adeni tea, was ok but did not have as much flavor as I would have liked. I really liked the honeycomb bread. The space inside is clean, and they have plenty of seating. The service is very friendly. read more

The workers were friendly and answered my questions about various items on the menu. The iced matcha with was a solid 4.5/5 and one of the best I've had in Ann Arbor. It was fairly strong and the perfect amount of sweet. My sister got a chocolate chip cookie and said it was great. The cafe had a lot of seating inside as well. read more

Having been to both locations, it seems like a lot of people prefer this one, reading reviews of both. I found the old one pretty nice itself, simple and cozy and of course had a great aroma inside. This one lacked the aroma but had a lot more space to sit and more bakery options as well. So I guess depends on what you're looking for but I liked both. Wasn't a huge fan of their latte but did like their muffins! read more

Hands down the best coffee shop I've been to in Ann Arbor. The service was great they brought my order right to my table! They had plenty of coffee and tea options along with Italian sodas which made for a great menu. The food was fantastic! I ordered a basic plate and then also had the chicken bowl. They have a plethora of healthy food options as well as gluten free menu items. I tried a matcha latte for the first time and it did not disappoint. If I could recommend anything it would be the matcha latte with vanilla and the chicken bowl. Great experience overall. 10/10 read more

Today I stopped in and felt so welcome! The baristas were joking around with each other and I love seeing this energy! Enjoyed a chia latte and honey comb while I read a book! Everything I could have ever hoped of from both parts! It was quiter cafe without a lot of distractions which I live for my reading time! read more

19 Drips continues to be great at their new location. The staff are really nice (I believe it is owned and run by two brothers). The coffee is really done well - probably the best chai latte we've ever had. The 19s latte was excellent too. The cherry pecan crumble bar was outstanding. Everything was the perfect amount of sweetness. I am glad they moved here because it looks like they are thriving in the larger space and larger parking lot. I definitely want to come back and try the breakfast. read more
