★★★★★ 5.0 Harmony Angel · Oct 2025

Love the lattes! I've tried the seasonal maple latte and chai latte (both with non dairy milk since I'm lactose intolerant) and been very pleased with this coffee shop. One of my favorite coffee shops for working. Lots of tables that seat parties of 1-2, strong wifi, lots of outlets to plug in. They also offer restrooms to customers, a few free parking spots, and outdoor kid/dog friendly seating. The owner and barista are very nice, and I enjoy personal/community oriented touches at this coffee shop - free postcards/postage for customers and a community board near the restrooms.

One of the best spots for coffee in the Ypsi / Ann Arbor area. A converted mechanic’s garage, they have left a few remnants as decoration, which adds a cool touch to the ambience. The window garage doors means the entire main wall lets in natural light. Fresh local pastries round out great coffee and wonderful specialty drinks - the Madeleine Latte is a personal favorite of ours. There is limited parking on-site but plenty of street parking. A true gem!

my favorite coffee shop in all of Washtenaw. They make top notch lattes and really care about the quality of their coffee. Pastries are also delicious, staff is super friendly, and the vibe is great for a breakfast conversation or to get some work done

Firstly, the place is beautiful. Pastries were incredible. The coffee was incredibly well made. This is worth a longer bus ride.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 T Anderson · Feb 2026

Giving it three stars for an average black coffee that cost almost $5! I just got their standard black coffee and the bill seemed crazy high especially when I can go to other local cafes (independently owned, roasts their own beans, ethically sourced) with equal quality in coffee for almost half the price right up the road. I didn’t try their specialty lattes or food, so I can’t comment on that but man their coffee is expensive.
