Really good! I tried the classic black milk tea, ube flavoring, and boba. I was impressed with the tea base itself - the real tea taste really came through. Ube flavor was sweet and delicious, and gave the drink a pretty purple color. Boba was just the right amount of flavor and chew! Overall, menu is straightforward with a few options for the tea base, lots of flavor additions, and some classic mix ins. Their specialty drinks are intriguing as well. Menu is not too large or overwhelming. I am impressed and will be back to try other drinks!

Sip Boba Tea House rivals and reminds me places back in California - which truly is high praise if you know me! The owners make all their syrups and toppings in house & the boba is always the right consistency of QQ. While I love their pumpkin sauce (it's seriously like drinking pumpkin pie), strawberry sauce and dalgona - you know a place is legit by how good their 'normal' milk tea is. Sip's Jasmine milk tea is legit. It's not watery at all and has really strong tea flavor that comes through. Also, for parties, Sip sells boba totes!! It's epic and super convenient! All you need to add is ice.

A new boba shop in Ann Arbor, with the owner making and mixing his own syrups for all his concoction? Yes please. We walked in on a rainy Sunday and was immediately greeted by the exceptionally friendly owner. As usual, we went in to try the black milk tea and branched off from there. Classic Black Milk Tea, 16oz, Less Sweet, Almond Milk w/ Boba ($6) - The owner told me that Sip uses a house made brown sugar mix to sweeten their milk teas rather than the typical fructose machine that most boba shops use. He didn't recommend reducing the sweetness, but I figured that it was easier to add more sweetener if I found it to not be sweet enough. Well, at the end of the day, it turns out that whatever ratio he used was just fine, creating a drink that is sweet without overwhelming the almond milk and black tea flavors. The drink overall is well balanced, with a bit of the tea fragrance and astringency coming through. I regret to say that the boba is on the hard side, with very little chew. Drink Rating: 4/5 Boba Rating: 2/5 Ube Milk, 16oz, Oat Milk ($6.25) - I went back to order a second drink after savoring the flavors of the first. The Ube Milk has a fantastically rich ube flavor which is fragrant, earthy, and delicious. The owner mentioned that he takes ube concentrate and infuses it with his house-made simple syrup. The ratio is perfect, so that the sweetness is an undercurrent to the drink and the ube flavor is front and center. (4/5) It is interesting to note that the cups have the sippy lid design, which are not normally used to accommodate the boba straw and is a departure from other boba places. While I wouldn't return to get boba as topping, I would try their other drinks. The offerings here are high quality and thoughtfully composed. Bathrooms - Single unisex room in the back. Overall rating of the drinks this visit: 3.5/5

Classic black milk tea

Sip has very quickly become a frequent go to! The shop has a cute minimal, but welcoming vibe and it's pretty spacious. The owner is super friendly and customer service is always great! The quality and flavor of their tea is impressive! I've gotten the plain iced jasmine tea and it was delicious. They make their own syrups and they always feel well balanced with the tea and milk. I do usually ask for half or less sweetness and that is perfect. Everything seems super customizable so you can't go wrong! The boba's texture was also perfect! I tend to like more classic milk tea drinks so I haven't ventured into their more creative menu items yet. I did try the supermoon milk my partner got and it was really good! Definitely a welcome addition to the growing boba-landscape in Ann Arbor!

They have a lot of different drinks here -- I like that you can customize or choose from their premium drinks. The inside is pretty big and was great for chatting with friends. Our drinks were brought out pretty fast too. Super nice place!

As I drove up to the incredibly brutalist, all white and gray style buildings, listening to the…read morecustomers discuss coffee notes with strong coffee in hand, I could smell the millennials before I walked in. With that being said, my hot take has always been that millennials make some of the best coffee. I tried the miso caramel hot latte with oat milk, the honey matcha, and a mango lemonade, all of which turned out delicious! The miso caramel had a deep rich miso flavor which complimented the caramel so well. Though I probably wouldn't order it again because it wasn't quite my preferred sweetness for that flavor combo, I still admired the ingenious of the flavor combo and really enjoyed it once I added a little extra sugar. The honey matcha was very good and I like the subtle sweetness that the honey gave the matcha. I could tell that their grade of matcha wasn't the best but they made up for it in technique and flavoring. The mango lemonade was a sweet pick me up and I really enjoyed the fresh mango taste. For food, I tried their lox bagel and I will admit, it wasn't my favorite lox bagel I've had. I could tell everything was fresh and I did enjoy it to a degree, but it tasted very heavily pickley and wished it leaned more into the classic lox and caper bagel I prefer. I also didn't prefer paying 16 + tax for it and definitely won't be doing that again. Despite that, I don't think it deserves a removal of a star because it was still made well, it just wasn't for me. Though I'm a gen-Z and the brutalist style lacks the whimsy I so desperately (and totally not performatively) crave, I still appreciate that it cleans and there is so much space to study if necessary. I also appreciate the community mindset with the fresh roasting across the street, pizza bar Nextdoor, and ceramics studio down the road (I love a coffee + ceramics combo as a ceramicist myself). This place is definitely a hidden treasure and I can't wait to try more of it and bring friends along with me.

lots of potential but the staff is incredibly rude which ruined the whole experience…read more tldr: coffee: 2.5/5 food 4/5 service 1.5/5 happened to stumble into DOZER after working out with out of town friends. since it was my first time here i asked the cashier what sizes were available and what they looked like. i was met with a flat "12 or 16 oz" .... okay eventually she showed me what the cups actually looked like. and okay we all have bad days so i kinda just wrote that off. i ordered a 16 oz ube latte and my friends got a 12oz ube latte and a 12oz fruit loop latte. i was actually really impressed and excited about all of the options that were available! additionally we all preferred food (2 burritos and a monte cristo). our coffee came out first and i was already kinda thrown off because even though 2 of us got the same drink in diff sizes, they looked DRASTICALLY different in color. this drink was brown in color and not purple. i wish i kept the drink to take a comparison pic. ok maybe a fluke. tried mine (16oz) and it tasted enough like ube. but when i tried my friends drink.... straight up tasted like the discarded water from espresso mixed w some oat milk. i'm not kidding, it was so gross. my friend was just gonna drink it but im thinking "surely this is mistake and we can get it fixed!" i was sadly mistaken lmao i take the drink up to the barista and tell him what's going on. i don't think was being rude or too demanding by saying "hey my friend ordered this and it doesn't really taste right. can it be remade?" he responded in the most condescending, rude way!! he told me that "because of the different size, the ratio (of milk/ube/espresso) is different because of the size..." and that "if i don't like it i should order something different." .... i was so shocked by this extremely rude response. and i kindly asked for it just to be remade. there were other people standing around so i really didn't want to make a scene, but i really did not appreciate being talked down to in such a way. a mistake is one thing, but to blame it on preference and then to insult my intelligence with some bs excuse like a ratio issue (which doesn't make sense because if you're making the same drink in a diff size.... then wouldn't you scale it up/down to retain the same flavor???). just such a bad customer service experience. he begrudgingly made another one, which i will add, looked and tasted DRASTICALLY different from my 16 oz drink and the original nasty drink!! it was wayyy better which makes me think there is some inconsistencies with how the drinks are made. regardless, at this price point i really think customer service could be way better all around. sad because i work nearby and was exited to have a new coffee place to go into before work, but i will not be returning. the staff who brought out food out was lovely, and i wish there was a more open and inviting vibe here

My coffee was perfect. Just enough sweetness, but not too much. Just enough oat milk too. Why not 5 stars? The food is an afterthought. Go for the coffee, skip the food. Bagels are whole. Not sliced. Huh? That's okay because they must have sharp knives that slice easily through bagels. Nope. Might as well try cutting your bagel with a spoon. Because of the difficulty eating the bagels, they weren't finished. My "Cheesy-P" (terrible name) was just heated up in the microwave. Not much effort involved in that. We think our bagels weren't toasted, but heated up in the microwave too. Blah. A little more effort would go a whole lot further. The protein ball aren't really appealing either, but they might have been if the other food was decent. Coffee good. Skip the food. Seems like coffee shops with more food options, should really take it seriously. I don't think Roos does.

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!
