The staff were very friendly and helped me decide on a drink. I recommend the Socotra latte if it's your first time as it is their signature drink and reminds me of a gingerbread latte. This is a great place to study or hangout with friends. There's plenty of space and very comfortable seating! There's great history in their art hung and I loved learning more about the culture while I was there too!

My friend and I came here late at night to try the lattes. He ordered the toffee nut latte, and I…read moreordered the pistachio latte. The toffee nut latte was definitely sweeter. It had a rich, warm mix of hazelnut and caramel. The espresso was strong enough to stand out and blended perfectly with the toffee-nut flavor. The pistachio latte was more subtle. It tasted like a classic latte with a gentle, nutty hint of pistachio. Service was great. They brought out our drinks within 10 minutes and were very friendly. The ambiance was also a highlight, with groups of friends and young adults enjoying their Friday night. Great spot to gather with friends after a dinner. Overall: 9 out of 10. Would definitely come back.

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.

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.

I literally traveled in…read morefrom FL like a croissant-seeking alien, chasing the memory of how good it was... and I come in peace, but I also come for filling. They JUST switched bakers and... yeah, you can tell. The croissants still look incredible, but the filling situation is basically a scavenger hunt across the galaxy. You go in expecting something amazing and get a tiny dot like it's being rationed on a space station. Big pastry, minimal payoff. I feel like I need advanced technology to locate the filling. I honestly struggled with giving this 3 stars because the staff is easily 5 star. They're great. But when you're handed a massive croissant with not even a whole lick of filling, I have to give it a 3. Really hoping they dial this back in, because I know how good this place can be.

The atmosphere was clean and there were plenty of seats if we had wanted to stay and chat or do work. I always appreciate having a variety of seating options.

We found nearby street parking and we were able to get a spot on a comfy couch that was near a power strip. There isn't a ton of seating so I imagine it can get busy throughout the day. The building is historic and also houses a coworking space which has a lot of really great amenities. The vibe inside the coffee shop is cozy but modern, and I loved the decor. They also had some really great merch - the tote bags were calling my name! I ordered the cardamom fig latte and Nate got a golden milk latte. They do that thing where they just yell out the name of the drink rather than taking your name, but I loved everything else about this place. The cardamom fig latte was unique and definitely tasted of both cardamom and fig. They have bagels and some pastries. I really liked the varied seating (comfy couches/chairs, tables, and bar seating) and plentiful outlets for getting work done. The wifi was fast and consistent. If I lived in the area this would be my go-to coffee shop. It's not the biggest space but it's definitely worth a visit!

Most recently I came here for a meeting, ordering a vanilla latte and a sweet potato hand pie to nibble on since I hadn't eaten yet. The description of the latter sounded so good, sweet potatoes with black beans and a few other veggies, wrapped up in flaky pie dough. The filling, however, was mostly pureed, giving it more of a baby food consistency which I didn't love. The flavor was good though but I couldn't get over the mushy texture. The black beans weren't pureed in but were few and far between (I think I maybe counted 2 or 3?). In addition to my hand pie I also ordered a piece of the billionaire's shortbread but they didn't ring it up/prepare it. By the time I realized it (I had to wait for my hand pie to be heated up) it was only a few minutes before close so I didn't bother going back up to the counter to reorder. IDK if they were just in a hurry to close or genuinely didn't hear my order but it was a bummer since it did look great. The vanilla latte, however, was quite good. And for a coffee shop that's most important. And what they lacked in substantial food options they did make up for in fun, seasonal drink specials and a few sweet treats like cookies and the aforementioned shortbread. The space is very cute, as well, and made for a really comfortable meeting location. So overall I did like my visit here. I just won't be rushing back here if I'm feeling peckish. But for a caffeinated pick me up and a nice place to meet or chill, this definitely fits the bill.

I love everything about RoosRoast; the music, the art, the bulletin board, the garden, and especially the relaxed atmosphere that makes you want to stop and have a chat with someone in line or the lovely people who make you really good coffee. Did I mention the really good coffee? All of this run by the renewable energy of the sun. I learned from a young person (I'm 70) in line one day that the buzz word in commerce right now, is "frictionless"; luring us to fly even faster through our precious moments without obstruction. No time to chat or stop and connect. Oh my gosh! If we don't have each other, what else is there? As Ann Arbor drifts away from the townie town it once was, RoosRoast stands defiant; determined to hold space for the slow down, the slow talk, the long pull. I always leave RR happier and more at peace than when I arrived. Thank you Kyra and RoosRoast
