Nate and I were in Ann Arbor on a sunny, almost 70-degree day in March and I knew I wanted to try to find a spot that had an open patio. It can be hit or miss finding a spot with outdoor seating so early in the season, so I texted my friend and fellow Elite Tiffany S: "Do you know of any places with a patio that might be open today for lunch?" Her reply: "York!!" So off to York we went! I will say that parking seemed a little tricky as it's sort of tucked into a residential area - we got lucky with a spot on the street. They do have some designated parking in front but that lot was full. I couldn't really tell by reading reviews & looking at Yelp photos what this spot was like, but it's an interesting mix of coffee shop, wine bar, and deli. There is also a Ricewood BBQ window and I think a food truck in back. The patio has ample space and I was surprised to see it wasn't super busy. We had just eaten, so we weren't hungry, but they do have sandwiches, cheese boards, salads, and breakfast items. Everything sounded really good, so I would definitely come back in the future. We saw people hanging out and working, so Nate fired up his laptop and got some work done while I sat and read. I loved the murals and art around the patio. Also huge shoutout to the staff - especially the person who informed me that I am eligible for an Ann Arbor District Library card since I work in the city! They were super friendly and kind, which made our experience even better.

Reservations: no Ambiance: I enjoy the various sections within this gem. They have a coffee pastry area, wine area, and different vendors for food. Great open space to study or meet up in groups. Service: Everyone is very friendly. Food $-$$: I enjoy getting the brisket bowls. When I want to just study I will get a pot of genmaicha tea. Experience: Overall great place to read a book or laugh with your friends Audience: Solo Trip [X] Family Friendly [X] Friends [X] Date Spot [ ] Recommendations/tips: I recommend this place!!

Bresaola and Cheese board
Alexa E.

A Hidden Gem in Ann Arbor - Flavor, Vibes & Great Company What an incredible experience! I stopped in for a casual bite with some girlfriends after going to pilates down the street & ended up having one of the most memorable evenings thanks to the food, drinks, and the warm hospitality - especially from Jaden, the bartender, who was an absolute gem. Friendly, knowledgeable, and so welcoming, she really elevated the experience. I started with the Bresaola and Cheese board & added a side of raspberry jam (which was recommended by Jaden), a decision I highly recommend. The cured meat was delicate and flavorful, perfectly balanced with the creamy richness of the cheese. The raspberry jam added a sweet-tart brightness that tied everything together beautifully. A sophisticated yet comforting starter. Next up: the drinks! The first was the Wakey Wakey! - a bold, smoky-meets-bitter cocktail with depth and complexity. The mezcal and spiced rum gave it a warm, sultry kick, while the real espresso shot and demerara brought rich coffee notes and a hint of sweetness. The grapefruit added just enough citrus to lift the drink and keep it balanced. If you like your cocktails with character, this one's for you. The second cocktail, Thistle and Thorn, was a complete contrast in the best way - bright, floral, and slightly spicy. The strawberry rhubarb aquavit was so unique and played well with the rhubarb and Cocchi Rosa. The jalapeño, honey, and lime gave it a sweet heat that lingered just enough without overpowering. Refreshing and layered. For dinner, I had the Reuben, and wow - what a sandwich. The corned beef was tender and flavorful, the Brinery sauerkraut added the perfect tang, and the house-made Russian dressing brought everything together with a creamy, savory punch. The rye bread, grilled to perfection, had that lovely crunch and richness from the olive oil, with a touch of sea salt and pepper that enhanced every bite. Easily one of the best Reubens I've had. The ambiance is cozy and stylish - great for a date night, solo treat, or catching up with friends. I'll absolutely be back to explore more of the menu and catch up with Jaden again. Highly recommend!

Cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese and bacon
Gary G.

Something as simple as a cinnamon roll and a bagel with cream cheese and bacon and it's just exquisite. Next time I'll get a coffee, but I've already had my full of caffeine today. This is a great discovery this place and the courtyard is spectacular.

Avo Toast with Scrambled Eggs
Christal P.

Despite its flaws and high prices, York is one of my favorite breakfast places in Ann Arbor. The food at York is consistently good. Whether it is something simple like Avo Toast or it's a gourmet salad or sandwich like a Bocata. The ingredients used in the food are high quality so at least you're paying a premium for excellent and artisanal food. I like that there is a beautiful outdoor space which I often frequent to get fresh air and avoid respiratory viruses. There are lots of culinary options in addition to the cafe. Ricewood is located in York where you can get good BBQ and outside there is a food truck called Bao Boys, which I have yet to try. There are mistakes made. Once I made a takeout order and they didn't include the salad I ordered. Luckily I checked in the parking lot and went back inside. The worker apologized and I received my salad. Just a note to check your takeout orders. York is always busy with long lines, so something may fall through the cracks unintentionally.

ginger green tea
Cheyenne M.

Love the atmosphere for work. The ginger green tea is very good. I also like the caprese salad.

An absolute Ann Arbor institution! It's been cool to see how York has evolved over the years from a small (but amazing) wine and deli shop to a largely expanded indoor/outdoor community gathering hot spot. So many different vibes at York! I just went today to pick up mortadella for sandwiches, as York is the best for quality deli meats and cheeses. Indoors, there's plenty of seating for gathering with friends. Outdoors, there's plenty of seating with heat lamps in the winter. You can get good coffee/tea, breakfast sandwiches, Zingerman's pastries, simple deli classics. They also have cocktails and mocktails, beers and wines. If York's menu alone isn't what you're craving, they have a Ricewood BBQ and Bao Boys on site, and a rotating cast of food trucks. Often have music and community events as well! Check out their instagram or site for upcoming special events. I enjoy their wine tastings. Parking can be a little tricky, but they've improved signage to help. If you can't find a spot in front (small lot) or in the back, there's additional parking across the street.

two bottles of chartreuse and a glass of wine
Sarah C.

This place is so cute and cozy! They are so knowledgeable about the alcohol. We learned all about Chartreuse which is a super rare liquor and hard to get ahold of! This is a great wine bar but also has tons of options for drinks and food as well. Lot of seating and on warmer nights they have food trucks, fire pits, and music on some nights. There is also a side restaurant included in this place that serves fresh bowls!!! From morning until night and when they sell out they slap a Sold Out sign on that particular bowl so it's definitely FRESH and first come first serve! this place is known for wines and cheeses so stop in for a really great Ann Arbor vibe and treats! It is unique in itself and I love that! I love the wintery cozy vibe and summer nights outside. It's definitely a place i recommend to all my friends

Italian Sub
Lola N.

I stumbled across York while driving around town. What a wonderful spot. They have a very unique vibe, a mix of coffee, cocktails, wine and food. The Italian sub I ordered, was off menu and the chef was kind enough to make it, it was delicious! Mmmmm great! It was so good, made a trip back the next week and ordered it again. I hope they bring it back to the daily menu.

Bowl of Zucchini soup -- Zingerman's bread hiding behind the bowl
Suzanne B.

York is a great spot to catch up with friends, any time of day, any time of year. I've gone to York a number of times with several different groups of friends and am a bit horrified that I have never reviewed it until now. Whether indoors or on the patio, meeting for lunch, coffee/tea, or dinner, it has an inviting ambiance and a selection of food and drink that will appeal to most anyone. There's also a wine shop in the back with an array of different wines. I've never bought there or attended the tastings, but that's a great thought for the next review! My most recent visit was with some girlfriends on a weekend afternoon. The place was hopping! I got a pot of herbal tea and grabbed a table in the wine shop area. After they had gotten their fancy coffee drinks, we sat down to catch up after several months. The pleasant din of the restaurant hummed in the background as we sipped and chatted. I've also gotten cheeses here for cheeseboards (I'm married to a français, so he is picky about good cheese), and I'm happy to say that the ones here passed the test. York is hyped but lives up to it, and I think one visit will prove that to you!

The Cali on farm bread. Delish!

Quality sandwiches but at a price. Note sandwiches we ordered were cold. Uncertain if they also can be ordered warm.

"RooRoast!"…read more Waiting for the light to change at Main and Stadium, I look down at the clock. Seven minutes to five. "What the heck. I'll call." "Hey Siri, call Roos Roast." My heart races a little. I'd been trying to get over for a coffee all day and now they are about to close. I blurt out my ask. "...any way you could just leave a coffee outside on the picnic table. I could slip the money under the door?" "Don't worry about it." Kyra says. "Just knock. I'll make it right now." "Thank you so much." 5:02 pm: I zoom into the parking lot, jump out of the car, run up to the door and knock. The door swings open and there she is...my coffee angel; coffee in hand with a smile. I know she is trying to get out of there. I grab the coffee, shove some money with a good tip into her hand. "Thank you so much. I'll write about it." I yell back. It's taken me a couple of weeks but herein lies my humble expression of gratitude to Kyra, the one who had the where with all to stop and ask herself: Who's in charge here, the clock or my heart? 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

But none of that is why I'm here... I stopped in on my way to work yesterday to get a cup of coffee and decided I'd better write a review about what I got. Many of the reviews below mention the great coffee that Zingerman's provides. But as a coffee drinker of 30 years, I can confidently say Zingerman's roasts the MOST BITTER coffee I've ever had. I guess it's a product for connoisseurs, but I am a little disappointed they don't have a normal coffee that tastes good. They only have burnt tasting, extraordinarily bitter coffees that make a British IPA beer taste watery. What's up with that? Why no mellow coffee at Zingerman's?? Also, if the cream curdles as soon as I add it to the coffee, I'm grossed out. If I want curds in my coffee, I'll dump some cottage cheese in there. What I prefer is a nice, smooth, creamy cup of drip coffee. There's really nothing better!

I went to the first location, right in the heart of U of M and the line was out the door. So I then went to the other location which seemed larger inside with plenty of seating. So I approach the counter and place my order: iced banana foster with peanut butter cold foam (up-charge). Before ordering I did ask if the banana flavor was subtle or more forward tasting and she stated it was subtle so I asked for more banana flavoring as well. When I got the drink - I first noticed the foam was missing - so I asked about this and she said it was because the cold foam frother was broken. So I asked why was I charged for foam if it was broken and she said she forgot and didn't offer a refund or anything and I was running late, so I left. I take a sip in the car and notice that there's absolutely no banana flavor to the drink - it tasted like a basic iced latte with cane syrup. Overall, just disappointed with the service and drink itself lacking flavor and the up charge for something I didn't receive. Maybe this was a one off but I don't I'd return.

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.
