As a lifelong Washtenaw County resident, I am more than familiar with Zingerman's and their family of businesses. I appreciate the efforts they put into community building and local craft. 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! read more

Visited this place for a quick breakfast. Their coffee was strong and well balanced. We got nutty monkey toast and caviar of the south. Both were yummy and filling. Great experience overall. Staff was friendly and patient. Great place to stay and work too. read more

Stopped in for a Wednesday morning coffee to the location south of I-94, near Costco It is in a strange location in an industrial sub with a bunch of other Zingerman businesses. One nice benefit in the Ann Arbor area is no need to worry about parking. I had a coffee and a cinnamon roll. Both of which were good. The small coffee is on the smaller side (6oz ?) which I prefer. The cinnamon roll was a nice size as well (on the smaller side). The coffee was on the darker side like most. There is good seating at this location with a variety of tables. It has the classic Zingerman's look and feel. The service was fast and friendly. read more

Awesome, for the coffee coni suer this is the perfect spot to get educated and great coffee.

I'm a huge fan of all things Zingerman's, so of course I'm going to love their Coffee Co. And I'm really not even a coffee drinker! For fans of coffee, I'm sure you'll find a cup here that you'll love. They have so many different coffees that feel very thoughtfully and interestingly sourced. My go-to drink order is usually a chai latte with almond milk (they have a few options for non-dairy milks). The mug is large and very cozy. If I'm feeling hungry as well, their toasts are huge, bigger than you'd think, featuring their bakery and creamery products. The one with pimiento cheese (Caviar of the South) is phenomenal as is the Rose's Sweet Heat, depending on if you're feeling more savory or sweet. Can be a little pricey (a large drink/non-dairy milk extra + a toast will come out around ~$17), so this is more an occasional treat. I like coming here to do a bit of focused work when I need a change of environment (I work from home). There are tables to sit at, and free/public WiFi is available. Typically when I go, I usually see a few people working/studying, and also people simply gathering with friends for conversation over cafe drinks. Plenty of parking, and be sure to visit the other Zingerman's businesses in the same strip. Be aware they do all have different opening hours though, so check that before you go! read more

Such a fun, inviting, warm space for coffee in such an odd location, an industrial park. While we knew this existed. we never had a chance to venture over here until now. I love the space with a lot of room to sit and a some good retail space with their adorable chocolate shop. They have a nice coffee and treat selection, so many things too little stomach room. We have been to the little downtown coffee space near the deli in the past and loved their New York egg cream which I did not see this time here, that is a favorite drink, but there was plenty of good choices here. I love a good small business coffee shop. While we love the big chains, there is honestly nothing like a good down to earth Michigan made mocha. We also visited the candy area and purchased some goodies, very delectable. The pate de fruits and marzipan were out of this world delicious. Since only two of us visited, I know I will need to bring back the entire family and spend an afternoon eating our way through this row of cafes and shops. read more

My absolute FAVORITE coffee shop in the world! I don't say that lightly. This place is legit. HOME ROASTED, HAND BREWED COFFEE - They offer ~15 single origin beans to pick from, roast beans on-site and hand brew their coffee 6 different ways to order. They offer drip coffee but I HIGHLY recommend the hand brewed options. BIG BREW BOARD - don't be intimidated by the number of decisions. The big brew board lists each coffee bean and describes its flavor profile for each brew method. Just pick what sounds delicious. My favorites include: Brazil Sweet Yellow - toasty and nutty and super sm PASTRIES - the Zingerman's bakehouse is just a few doors down, which means the coffee shop also offers amazing pastries. Today I enjoyed a LEMON scone which had super lemon flavor. I also enjoyed a pan au chocolate which was buttery and fantastic quality chocolate. SUSTAINABILITY - Excited to see that they offer three bins for disposal: landfill, recycle and compost. Don't worry, there are instructions for what to put where. read more

Every good coffee shop has a specialty. Sometimes the trick is figuring out what a place does better than anybody else. At Zingerman's Coffee Company, the answer is looming above you. In fact, it is so big, you might miss it. There is so much happening on what appears to be a giant bingo board, that it may be too overwhelming to take it all in. But take a breath. Look up. And... ...step into the coffee multiverse. Because at Zingerman's Coffee Company, not only do they roast more kinds of beans than you could realistically sample on a week's worth of visits, they also have the tools to brew those beans in a fantastical number of ways. But wait. There's more. The giant coffee board also lists the tasting notes on how the flavors within all of those different beans express themselves in different extraction methods. Can I get a, "Wow!"? Personally, ZCC is not where I would go for espresso drinks. But coffee brewed with a syphon filter? Heck yeah! Those things make a terrific cup of coffee, but are an incredible PITA to use and to clean. So I'm thrilled to have a local shop that will take the time and effort to warm the equipment, grind beans to order, monitor the finicky brewing process, and present me with the finished elixir. I wish I was drinking more coffee these days so I could really get deep into the coffee menu and triangulate my ideal extraction for my favorite beans. Should my addiction ever fully resurface, you bet I'll be here more often. Until then, this is an occasional treat, made even better with one of those delightful palmiers from the Bakehouse a few doors down. read more

Really enjoyed this coffee shop. I got an Iced caramel latte - it was smooth and creamy, not overly sweet. The space is quite spacious and lot of tables. Good place to work/study. They have variety of baked goods and also a chocolate shop. The staff were all really friendly. read more

Zingerman's Coffee Co - Iced caramel latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

This coffee place has many different types of coffee that can be prepared in many different ways. Their menu board has a huge matrix of coffees and preparation method to guide your ordering. They also make the typical drinks like latte and cappuccino. I had a mocha and it was one of the few mochas that I've had that tasted like good chocolate rather than a sugary chocolate syrup. They also sell different kinds of toasts. I had the Teutonic Toast which was their toasted dinkelbrot topped with goat cheese and cumin seeds. Very tasty, but next time I would ask for less cheese. They were busy and slow on the weekday morning that I was there so plan on it taking awhile or order ahead. read more

Shelter at home and getting a bag of beans in my first ZingShare box inspired me to FINALLY get into homemade coffee brewin'. My homies back in Los Angeles are ALL about the Chemex steez and cold brew life. But, I resisted with ALL my might because there were a multitude of hipster coffee shops in downtown Los Angeles! But, now that I had an amazing bag of beans -- I couldn't let it go to waste! Before I stopped into Zingerman's coffee, I called ahead to see if they would be able to help me with brewing equipment. I stopped in about 30 minutes before closing (3:30pm as they have shortened hours now). They had an awesome set up of all their bundles available and all the brewing methods. Lydia was AMAZING & the epitome of fantastic service. She walked me through all the different methods as well as the pros & cons. I ended up being stuck between the French Press and a Bona Vita Clever drip. She was kind enough to make me some coffee with both methods so I could try it out! Zingerman's service at its finest! I walked out with ANOTHER bag of beans & all the things I need for home brewing. My spouse and I have been really enjoying all the home brewed coffee! I'll be back for more beans! read more

Fantastic coffee and friendly staff as always. Nice place to relax, chat or read. And of course, great pastries.

Zingerman's Coffee Co is always a must before I drive back home to Illinois. I love that they put some salt on top of the Nutty Monkey toast to give it that sweet and salty flavor profile. Also had a strawberry and banana smoothie that was delicious as well. Staff is super friendly! Can't wait to come back and visit again! read more

Another customer had five drinks and also had a small toddler, an employee insisted on opening the door for her. Awesome customer service!!! read more

I've been drinking coffee since I was about 5 years old. It was Sanka with my great grandfather, so can we really call that coffee? I think it was the full experience of feeling grown up and hanging out with a great man in the summer. Fast forward a few *ahem* years and I've become a bit of a connoisseur, in my own right. Naturally when I visit a place, one of my first Google searches is for "Best coffee". This place popped up and I followed the directions that took me to a business park. I was skeptical. Then intrigued. THEN, impressed. The entire concept, never mind the block long business occupancy, was unique. Bakery, coffee, cafe, candy, classes, yes! All of it!! So many options, Andy I can't wait to visit again! read more

The coffee company recently underwent a renovation and it's awesome! Big windows in the seating area show off all of their impressive roasting equipment, and a slightly expanded dining menu also offers a tasty variety of toasts (as well as the bakehouse pastries that are excellent). They collaborate with their neighbors at the bakehouse, creamery, and candy company to make something truly fantastic. The coffee has also really excelled since I last wrote my a review here. It's always been great but they really dialed in over the last few years. Their roasts vary from regions like South and Central America, to Asia and the Pacific, to Africa. Light, medium or dark, fruity, floral or earthy, so no matter your preference you will find a delicious roast here suitable to your tastebuds And in warmer weather, their cold brew with a touch of cream and simple syrup is one of my favorite treats. I love buying their beans both from here and Plum Market and brewing at home. Seating is plentiful and comfortable for just a cup catching up with friends or a bit of working and caffeinating. They also offer coffee cuppings, brewing courses, and other special events and lectures on the mighty coffee bean so check their website for dates and details as they arise! read more

Zingerman's Coffee Co - Hot cocoa! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Let me tell you, if you're trying to find this place via GPS you will get lost in a maze of businesses. Just remember it's with all the other Zingerman businesses, it's super colorful, and all the way in the back not facing the main road. From the outside it looks tiny, but on the inside there are lots of chairs and area to sit and hang out. I tried the cappuccino and cold brew. The cappuccino tasted more like milk than coffee so I wasn't a huge fan. The cold brew was very strong and fabulous. There are a lot of good selections here so I'd you want a quick snack and a delicious coffee I would highly recommend this place. read more

Cheers to the successful venture because, frankly, I thought their first attempt at roasting coffee was a feeble fumble in the early 2000s. Come late 2018 and the coffee roasters venture, conveniently placed in-line with the bakery, creamery and candy shop is a fine way to while away a couple of hours. The famous deli in Kerry Town came first. At that time it was just the deli, bagels, albeit good, were outsourced as was the coffee. Like the bagels, the initial attempt to break free of outsiders wasn't entirely successful and required trial and error redrawing to reach present levels of output and relative consistency. Today Zingerman's coffee is available directly from the roasters (they have one-pound bags here), The Roadhouse on Stadium, the deli, Plum Markets and mail-order. The selection is phenomenal, I like that their roasters tend to emphasize the inherent flavors of single-sourced varieties and the blends are also top notch. Standouts include the Eithiopian beans, Italian espresso roasts and Sumatra types. The café is large, well lit, set up for technology and goodies galore. Prices, although high, are comparable with similar higher end coffees locally (Mighty Good) or nationally (Intelligensia). read more

This really is a wonderful place. Came here as I had a gift card and really had a hard time picking out a drink. I came after work on nights so my choice needed to be good cold as it would go in the fridge to be saved for later. I chose the cold brew with caramel and it was amazingly delicious. I only wish it was closer so I could visit more often. read more

When meeting a coworker in AA, Zingerman's seemed like the only option. It was the best possible place we could have met. first of all, I didn't realize they have an entire industrial park! All their different brands (bakeshop, coffee, candy, etc...) have a storefront in this industrial complex. We decided on Zingerman's because there was outdoor seating and wifi, and in this pandemic we are NOT trying to sit inside and breathe other people's air. So we say outside on the iron sets for 3 hours and chatted with our masks on. The company was great, but the coffee was even greater! I got there a little early, so I started with a nitro. This cup was the largest cup of nitro I have ever been in the presence of. It as as big as my head, and more nitro than ANYONE needs in a single day. And I drank every single drop of it. After a couple hours, I wanted something a little sweeter, so I went back in for a second drink. I am trying to avoid refined sugars, so I asked if they could do anything sweetened with maple or honey. to my surprise they already had a drink on the menu using only honey and cinnamon - the Cafe con miel. I got this drink iced and with skim milk. It might have been the best thing that ever happened to me. I keep trying to order the cafe con miel at each new coffee shop I visit, and they're good but never as good as Zingerman's! read more

Delicious Iron Goddess of Mercy tea. Service is always friendly. A great space for musing.

It was my first time here recently. I went here as per one of my uncle's recommendation. I was just curious to see how their café and roastery were. It's a big place with a large variety of coffee flavors along with tea Ann's few other items. There's a big chalk board menu with various coffee flavors and next to it is the menu for the variety of coffee and tea beverages they offer. The place has a nice sitting area. I saw folks studying, just chilling and even working. My wife ordered a short sweet matcha latte and I got myself Java Mokha iced coffee. They were good. I liked this place and would go again. I would like try their coffee flavors. Definitely check them out when in the Ann Arbor area. read more

Zingerman's Coffee Co - Parking in front of Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

It's off the beaten path, but Zingerman's Coffee Co is truly a diamond in the rough. I found it recently after some friends visiting from out of town wanted early-morning coffee somewhere local and stumbled across the java joint. When it came time to meet them for breakfast, it seemed like there was no better place than Zingerman's for us to get together. As you arrive, you'll be sure your GPS has taken you down a wrong turn, as you'll pass several warehouse-looking buildings. Even when I arrived and saw the signs and awnings, I was sure I had come to just the roastery headquarters. But one step inside and I knew I had reached Java Nirvana. In a spacious coffeehouse is an impressive Punnet Square of every imaginable permutation of bean, roast, pour, and addition. As more of a coffee novice than a coffee connoisseur, I went with a light roast, black, but marveled at what combinations I could choose from. There are tables and comfy chairs spaced around, all the better for visiting with friends, so you can sip and linger for a spell. The next time you need to add a little zip to your coffee routine, stop by Zingerman's for a sip you won't soon forget! read more

How do you distinguish yourself among all the bougie coffee shops? Good coffee + a great concept. Zingerman's coffee sources their coffee from all over the world and roast locally in their own backroom. Their coffee is aromatically tasty and the varieties they have make me crave to go back. The Macchiato I got there is super dense yet delicious. I would for sure go back if I visit the area again! read more

Now that the restaurants are back to semi-operational there is seating available inside the coffee shop. There are only a few tables and they are appropriately separated. They also only allow you to stay at the tables for 30min. I'm going to guess that they are either required to hold such limits or they are trying to make space for more people. Either way, I find 30min to be a little on the short side (I'm a slow drinker and eater.) For all things Zingerman's, I am quite the fan and this place is no exception. I wish that they had some more baked goods available here though (last two times I went there was VERY limited selection.) Parking is ample, service is friendly-ish. They also clean between patrons. Of course I'll be back. read more

I was really impressed with their Big Brew Board listing their beans and brewing methods. I went with the cold brew which was tasty but next time I'll try one of their specialty drinks or a something off the board. They had indoor seating and fun little shopping section. I'm looking forward to going back again! read more

Get the toast! I got one with a tomato, eggplant, red pepper spread on top of cream cheese (although I think next time I'd request goat cheese) on a sesame bread and it was really amazing. The slice was at least an inch thick. I got my food togo and went and sat further down by the other Zingerman's and enjoyed some sunshine. After I finished, I popped into the other Zingerman's and got some pastries to go. I was staying at a hotel within walking distance from this location, but if you're coming from afar, the atmosphere of the business park is underwhelming. read more

It's very Zingerman's-y. Everything is decent to excellent quality, but you pay a bit of the premium for the name and whatever ingredients they're using. I personally find it less justifiable when it comes to coffee and tea (in particular their large Matcha Latte costs over $8 which is insane), but for all the connossieurs out there, if you can tell the difference, then be my guest. As at any other Zingerman's establishment, the staff is very friendly. They also recently renovated the interior in the past year to make better use of the space. It feels like a warehouse when you step in. Which is perhaps to be expected on this very industrial side of Ann Arbor. read more

If you like coffee this place is for you. They have an extensive menu board that gives you not only coffee flavor options, but it also includes a plethora of ways you can have your coffee brewed. Some of the options you can choose from are pour over, french press, or chemex. The board also gives you specific flavor profiles that are brought out with each method. On my first visit here I ordered the french roast brewed using a the chemex method. It made brewing an ordinary cup of coffee cooler and more scientific in a way. The baristas here are knowledgeable and can give you suggestions based on your taste preferences. They also sell pastries from their bakery down a couple of doors (Tip: if you get there at the right time the pastries are half off). You can also purchase any coffee that they brew along with other coffee essentials. So you to can be your own scientific barista at home. read more

Firstly, I want to say the service is great, with friendly staff and great coffee/food. I am not confrontational so I did not mention too much to the workers, but one worker, who was very polite and welcoming, decided to flip the screen to the iPad (for payments) and give herself a tip that I didn't agree too. I completely understand working in the food service can be thankless and feeling under appreciated by clientele is common. With that said, she had no right to steal my money like that. I'm more than willing to tip well, but the unethical choice of her deciding how much I give was very disheartening. I don't care too much for a few dollars stolen from me, I'm more so upset she had the nerve to steal right in front of me but I let it go. This isn't a reflection of the service nor the employees, it's more likely she's somebody struggling financially, but again that gives her no right to steal from others. I hope I'm Misreading something (though my bank account shows otherwise), and it was just a mistake. I should have confronted her immediately but I had no time I had to leave, and I chose to see if it was logical to even complain. It was. Again the service is great and I do not fault her for doing this especially if she's living in hard times. However, Please don't allow this. Thank you read more

Awesome service and coffee! The only complaint is it is not so close to home. Love their siphon coffee

Every time I come to Ann Arbor, I have to stop here! It's the best way to get the full Zingerman's experience without the hustle and bustle of their main store closer to downtown. The coffee shop, bakehouse, creamery, and candy shop are in an unassuming location off of I-94; it may seem confusing when you try to find it, but if you see a bunch of warehouses, you're in the right place! The Coffee Co has added to their menu since the last time I was there (several months ago) - there are a lot more choices when you're ordering your coffee! They also added a toast menu, which is honestly the best part. I had a cup of hot black tea; they do lose leaf in a bag, which is always the best way to go. My mom got a drip coffee, which they served in an awesome glass. For our food, I got the English summer toast, and my mom tried one of the specials - sweet heat toast. I truly believe toast is significantly underrated in general, but when you add Zingerman's bread into the equation, just wow. The toppings were delicious but still allowed the bread to be the true star, which is just perfect. Overall, one of my must-stops in Ann Arbor just got even better, and I can't wait to go back again! read more

Zingerman's Coffee Co - One of the best French Pressed coffee I've had in Ann Arbor, Michigan. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

I'm confused by any low rating for this place.. if you are looking for your average coffee/cup of joe, this isn't it. They roast their own beans in small batches. This is a coffee experience: 1. pick your roast (there were literally over 20 on the board!) 2. choose your brewing method: Pourover,Chemex, Areopress, Immersion, etc and here's the best part: if this seems confusing to you, just ask them. These are the nicest and most knowledgeable people in the business. and you don't have to like coffee. My mom ordered a hot, turmeric ginger tea and thought it was the best she'd ever had. (yes, they are scooping the loose tea into the sachets and controlling the water temp) I am going to suggest you either take your drink for a walk to the bakehouse/Candy house, OR stop there first and walk it on down to the coffee bar if seats are available. read more
