Do not get beans here. Do not let them grind them. I like to support local shops when I am…read moretraveling and I have my own espresso maker. I asked for espresso grind. When I opened the bag I could tell right away it was too fine. I attempted to pull a shot, but got nothing. It was most definitely Turkish grind. Since I could do nothing with the bag, I went back to explain this was ground too fine. The same individual was there and reacted with condensation, saying this is indeed espresso grind, which is basically Turkish, and he doesn't know what kind of maker I have so he cannot dial it in. I said I have never had this problem in the years I have done this at other shops. He acted like he could do nothing for me, so when I pressed that I can do nothing with these beans I spent money on, he got on the phone. At one point I heard him say, "Yes, I tried to explain that to her." As if I didn't know what I was talking about. I was finally given the option to get a bag of beans without having them ground, which is all I really wanted. I can grind the beans in my own grinder at home. I went down the street and bought a bag of beans there. I asked for espresso grind and mentioned that the last place gave me Turkish. She had to look up the appropriate setting, but she got it perfect. When I got home and opened the bag of beans from Black Iron, the beans were oily and smelled burnt. My coffee tasted that way, too. I was rather shocked because the latter I had ordered with my purchase was not bad. I had to use them up slowly by masking the bad taste with my go-to beans.

They have since changed owners since I last visited, and had the opportunity to meet the new owners daughter who was working on bar that day. She is so friendly and makes a great macchiato!

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.

I get their sandwiches are great and can sell out by 10:30-11, they're that good. After a while one would think they would be able to plan for the increased demand. Also, I came this morning at 7:40am, website says sandwiches available at 8:30am. So the store is open from 7:30-2, and they only have about a two hour window to get these breakfast sandwiches? The other annoying aspect is they rotate their baked items frequently so the items I really like such as the Ube coconut bun and other items are not always offered. You have to check their website a day before or on the day you want to go to plan what items are available. That being said if you have flexibility in your morning work schedule, still one of the better bakeries to go to. It's one of the few places I would like to go to more often, but often skip due to the strict hours of the breakfast sandwiches available and not always having the items I really like.

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.

Sandwiches (gluten free bread), soup (gluten free options), coffee, cocktails, and ice cream! Something for every time of the day. Order at the front and they will bring it to your table. This method was a tad disorganized and you could tell the 2 gals working were either a bit overwhelmed or unsure who was coming or going. I suggest giving your guests a number on a little stand for their table after ordering. That'll keep you from hollering out their name and walking around the establishment trying to find them. Nonetheless, the food tasted great! Parking: street parking out front and on the side but there's a free lot on the northeast side of the area. Attire: casual. Great place for kids & dogs on patio

They don't have a toaster or homemade cream cheese, but if I need something ready to go/eat in the car, I'd probably do the hot stuffed pretzel roll anyway. I wouldn't be shocked if the bagel was just fine without being toasted, either. They don't take Amex, so be ready for that, and if they run out of treats, they'll close early, so plan accordingly.
