    Drive through only! So cool
    Marc W.

    Very cool, drive-Thru only coffee....two lanes and a walk-up window. Unique and totally something you'd expect in a college town. Definitely go here instead of StarSux

    Small flavor of the day coffee
    Mallory R.

    I've gone to Bearclaw a few times and it's always great. I've tried the flavor of the day coffees (peppermint patty and Samoa) on two visits and I loved them. They were flavored just enough to get a taste and not overwhelming. My boyfriend tried the iced coffee and it was just as good. The Dexter bakery donuts are so so so good. I've been trying to find the best donut in Ann Arbor but I guess I need to go up to Dexter. I've only had the chocolate frosted donuts but they taste like the powdered mini hostess donettes but 100x better. I've also tried the Dexter Bakery Bearclaw pastry and it was light and not too sweet, had an almond taste to it. They also do a punch card system and I can't wait to fill it up.

    I LOVE BEARCLAW! Whenever I visit Ann Arbor I get coffee from Bearclaw. Just their simple brewed coffee with a splash of almond milk is my favorite. The service is always great and the employees are so kind. I also love their punch card system. If you buy 11 drinks, you get the 12th free!

    I like what they did to the place. A long time ago it was a gas station. Before that who knows, but that it's evolving where Washtenaw and Stadium converge makes this split-level stone building a point of interest. Look at the pics and see how clever they made it. One criticism I agree with in other reviews is that they favor drive through over walk-ups. It did take longer than it should have to acknowledge and serve us. Menu is fairly simple, coffee etc.., ubiquitous munchies and... smoothies? Ok, something atypical here so we ordered the strawberry smoothie and found it to our liking. Reasonably priced, we only lingered on the premises to see how it's set up. Generally speaking, if we weren't parked across the street it would be better to drive through. While there are places to sit I think their forte is get the cars through here quickly.

    Best way to start Sunday Kodiak mocha with tootsie roll!

    Delicious coffee- I ordered a signature mocha blend with Almond substitute and was thrilled with the rich abundant taste. Double line drive through so you never leave your car & staff take & serve at your order at your car window. I suggest allowing more time to grab that cup of Joe to accommodate potential lines. It's the best service as can be expected during these crazy times.

From the written menu, I thought this was going to be butterfly pea powder, cinnamon, almond milk, maple syrup, coconut whipped cream. However, when ordering the Blue Whale drink on the self serve order kiosk, it's described as "Blue Majik" spirulina/energy boosting botanicals (carbonated). The drink I got fit the latter's description. Would suggest updating the board :). I did get a little jittery afterwards, but unsure if that was from the "energy boosting" botanicals or from a coffee I had a couple hours earlier. (Or combo - I do tend to be more sensitive to caffeine, and assuming this drink was caffeine free.) Free WiFi and seating/outlets to do a bit of work here. Not a lot of seating for this, but it wasn't busy on a Thursday morning for a little work! Clean airy vibes, and convenient location in what I call the "Trader Joe's plaza".

    As a lifelong Washtenaw County resident, I am more than familiar with Zingerman's and their family…read moreof 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!

Admittedly I don't really know where they "mermaid juice" name comes from (I just picture it one of those trendy colorful drinks when I hear that name) but honestly they can call it whatever they want as long as they keep it as delicious as it is! For bites I went with the chorizo potato burrito which was really good. It was also a great value for the price point as it was quite a sizeable portion. I also love a sweet treat so I tried the maple waffles and that was also a great price for the size (two belgian waffles infused with cinnamon and maple, no need for the syrup!). I hear good things about the space itself but I haven't been in yet. I look forward to checking it out, though! But even for delivery it's a very solid option.
