Awesome latte! And let me tell you, that grilled cheese was absolutely fantastic! The service was top-notch. We'll definitely be returning.
Jenne E.

The service was fantastic! The latte was absolutely delicious. I also tried the grilled cheese, and it was superb! I will definitely be coming back!

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.

Great pastries

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.

Honeycomb
Nisha N.

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

Honeycomb bread and other pastries
Linda I.

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 :).

19 Drips interior
Amanda L.

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!

Shakshuka, hummus, and an order of bread (forget the name)
Ainsley E.

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.

Mocha
Ailun H.

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.

Honeycomb bread
Abby B.

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).

Menu over counter-expanded menu with more items
Stephanie C.

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!

Downtown Ann Arbor

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.

I enjoyed a rich pour over accompanied by a delicious Pistachio Basbousa Cake. Other members of our party enjoyed their Biscoff Latte and White Mocha. As an added treat we ordered a Carmel Milk Cake. The cafe was quiet and made for a perfect meet up or study spot. The staff is friendly and accommodating. I will definitely be going back!

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.

Everyone was super friendly inside and it was very pleasant. A zillion teas are for sale by weight and I got a few. We also prefer hot teas. My son had pineapple mango and I have the baked apple. Both were beyond outstanding! I also got two varieties of earl grey to try at home. They also have a tea oriented retail area and a snack bar, and a drink bar too. Overall a real gem of a spot. J.Ja
