So, for $42 we had an omelet each (one with no meat) and potatoes, one bottled juice . You get your water, salt and pepper, ketchup. The food was good, hot and plentiful. Seems a bit costly for the customer to do a majority of the work. You can pay this price for a full service restaurant. You decide.

I don't know why Joe is hiring people like these 2, alienating everyone, but this was the second time I gave the place a try. Same. Never going back. I might get bitten next time.

Their caramel macchiato is one of the best lattes I've ever had, the flavor of the espresso and the syrups come together in a way I have never found elsewhere. I haven't tried many of the treats there but those I have had were great. The service is always excellent, plus their location and late hours are so helpful if you need a coffee while driving later in the night.

I went with…read morethe Mermaid Juice beverage, which is a vanilla, caramel ice latte with cold foam, and it was very good. 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.

After thoroughly searching Yelp, Google, and Reddit, I decided to check out Moonwinks this time. I arrived right as they were opening at 8 am and immediately loved the parking lot and plentiful seating inside. They also have some outside seating. Ann Arbor seems to have quite a few of these cafe/bar combination concepts so I think this spot turns into a bar in the evening. I ordered the Sammy's best (bacon, egg, spinach, tomato, swiss, and garlic aioli) on an asiago bagel as well as an oat milk latte. They brought my order out to my table when it was ready. The wifi was super fast and I was able to get quite a bit of work done. The bagel sandwich was super tasty and the asiago bagel was the cheesiest I've had in awhile! The garlic aioli gave it a bit of a zip and I really enjoyed this. The latte was smooth and creamy, not the best I've ever had, but it did the trick. I'm so glad I gave this spot a chance and will definitely be back the next time I'm in town. It was getting pretty busy by 9 am, so get there early if you'd like a table.

After clarifying that a Dulce de leche cinnamon roll is a cinnamon roll (there was a voice of two different cinnamon rolls, so it made sense to me to be specific), I was asked if I wanted it heated, which of course I did. I then caught that a regular coffee (rather than a latte) had been rung up. While I was typing my phone number to register for repeat customer rewards another person came in. While I was typing the cashier rang up the other customer cancelling my entry. This does not matter, actually, because the roll, while the frosting looked like it had been heated was stone cold and stale (clearly the icing had been touched or brushed somehow) and I would be crazy to return and spend money the amount I did, which unfortunately included a generous tip. This was before I realized that four workers could not focus on their jobs enough to incorporate a new potentially repeating customer into their morning routines.

I tried their Blue Whale namesake drink, and enjoyed! 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".

The atmopshere was cozy and inviting. There seemed to be a majority of University of Michigan students here. There's plenty of seating, whether it be couches to smaller tables to (what I remember) one larger table for bigger groups. I'd say the seats at the tables maybe weren't the most comfy though, I do wish they had seat pillows. The drinks did take a while to come out, but it wasn't an issue for me since I was just working. Side note: they even provide feminine hygiene products in the restroom. They also have a printer available. There's a huge parking lot available. Overall, I think this is a great spot to study and work from home, and you should definitely check it out!
