    Affogato  Vanilla Cream Matcha
    Isabella R.

    Stopped by to get a drink and I must say that it was good but not great. For the price there are definitely better options but i still enjoyed it!

    Great study spot! The vibes are just amazing overall. I love their pistachio cheesecake and they offer free samples of their chai on request.

    CupsnChai is a very cute cafe on 4th Ave. The concept is somewhat unique with lots of interesting chai options I've never seen anywhere else. I tried the tiramisu chai, which was absolutely delicious with hints of chocolate and cinnamon. Service was very polite and speedy. I would definitely go back. Word to the wise: they offer a free drink on your birthday if you show ID.

    We went to this place after our dinner. My friend had recommended it as she'd come here quite often since she recently lived to Ann Arbor. This place is considered an Asian chai place and it was absolutely delicious. When I got to the trustee to order I was so taken aback from the menu that the very nice gentlemen offered samples for me to try. The chai here was unlike any tea I've ever had. The flavors were absolutely amazing. The chai and dessert we tried was unbelievable. Absolutely amazing. I cannot wait to go back.

    Super yummy chai like mu family makes. I stopped in to get warm but also check out this new spot in downtown Ann Arbor. They serve up different kinds of chai plus also have a small variety of snacks and food. The interior is modern and sleek. I got the masala chai with sugar - it was good! A touch too sweet so may get it without next time but the spices were warm and inviting. The staff was very friendly and service was quick!

    All the chai!!

    New spot right by chimney cakes! I love chai and am happy to see cupsnchai expand from Canton to downtown Ann Arbor! They tout themselves as a "A South Asian Chai Cafe, with a Modern Twist." They have sooo many chai option and I ended up going with the Zafrani Chai which is the saffron chai. Super unique. A little on the sweet side for me so I'll ask for adjustments next time on sweetness. I'll probably just order the classic Karak as well. Service was fast, friendly and patient with my wide eyes as I tried to decide haha. My friend did also order the Peri Peri chicken wrap which looked tasty but was a fairly small portion. Another friend also tried the Double Chocolate Cake (Chocolate dream cake with layers of decadent chocolate cake with velvety chocolate mousse and luscious chocolate ganache.) which he found too dark chocolate for his liking but I could see how this would pair perfectly with tea!

    Cute and fun place to grab chai. Good food and great service. Will definitely return!

    Absolutely exquisite. went here with the gals on a Friday night. Love that they are open until 12 AM such a rarity these days. it was popping inside, even though it was almost 11 PM, but love to see local business businesses being supported. Will definitely be coming back for the vanilla latte. unfortunately, my friend had a Matcha and it was subpar so maybe stick to the coffee. they're also weren't any seats, but I don't know what you could do to resolve that. look forward to seeing them maybe implement a new Matcha recipe. update: the employees were super, super sweet, and they offered to remake my friends Matcha without her even asking. don't try the cinnamon Matcha go for something else. Overall wonderful experience.

    Warm, clean, well lit establishment. Friendly professional staff is accommodating to first time visitors making suggestions and allowing a small sample to narrow down the fantastic choices of Chai latte. We met the owner Noman and he is passionate about both his business and product quality. We had tiramisu and bon bon chai lattes. Both were excellent and the vanilla taster was equally desirable. The perfect drink for a cold morning! The tea cookies were crisp and exotic flavored. A great break destination when in town. Highly recommend! Took some to bring back home!

    I have come here multiple times and worked for multiple hours here. I have not had a bad experience yet, the staff and owner are always super nice! Highly recommend as a spot to work and study or hang out with friends to talk.

    The staff were so friendly and even allowed me to sample some chais that I was interested in. I got the Amore chai, and it was delicious. The space itself is super cute and with lots of seating. Will definitely be back!

    My paneer wrap that was about 4.5 inches long and 1.5 inches in diameter.

    Ordered online for pick up. Ran an errand. Arrived and sent my son in to pick it up. They told him someone came in and asked for our order by name and left with our food (?). How is this possible? We had to wait for about 15 or so minutes while they remade and then got home to two teeny wraps- about 4.5 inches long. Flavor ok but mine looked not cooked and the wraps were like tiny flour tortillas. I wanted to like this place but am done after this experience. Maybe the drinks would be better?

    Masala chai, 1/4 already sipped!

The main thing Drip House has going for it is that it is effectively the only coffee spot to sit and study or meet someone right by the stadium (where a bunch of us live and/or work). It is also open into the early evening when a lot of other coffee spots aren't. And we do love an outside seating option. The service has always been just fine and it's a pretty cute spot (not to sound ridiculously nit-picky but while we're here--someone might wanna sheer some of the many dead leaves off the beautiful plant inside though). Also, the banana oat latte they had as a special a couple months ago was delicious. So yummy. Some things I don't love about Drip House: the blue chairs. So uncomfortable. It is expensive and, dare I say, overpriced. The first time I got my $14 piece of ricotta toast, it was delicious. And I figured, fine. It's $14 for a piece of bread with a little cheese and jam but it's so yummy, I'll splurge every once in a while and go with it. Plus, I can't eat tree nuts, so it is one of the few options for me. However, the second time I got it, it was most definitely not worth it. The "whipped" ricotta was just a sad, thin wet layer and there was practically no jam. I get it. It's expensive out here. We're living in the shadows of the avocado toast economy where espresso drinks cost minimum $7 and you effectively can't buy anything for less than $4. But just because you feel like you *can* doesn't mean you *should.* Paying $14 for a piece of bread.... Come on. It's insulting. It feels exploitative. Will i be going back? Yes, because of the proximity and sometimes a girl needs to go for a cute little walk to get a coffee--just to feel something. Would I if there was a competing coffee shop nearby? That remains to be seen. Also the size of the "large" iced drink. Come on guys.

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.

My coffee was perfect. Just enough sweetness, but not too much. Just enough oat milk too. Why not 5 stars? The food is an afterthought. Go for the coffee, skip the food. Bagels are whole. Not sliced. Huh? That's okay because they must have sharp knives that slice easily through bagels. Nope. Might as well try cutting your bagel with a spoon. Because of the difficulty eating the bagels, they weren't finished. My "Cheesy-P" (terrible name) was just heated up in the microwave. Not much effort involved in that. We think our bagels weren't toasted, but heated up in the microwave too. Blah. A little more effort would go a whole lot further. The protein ball aren't really appealing either, but they might have been if the other food was decent. Coffee good. Skip the food. Seems like coffee shops with more food options, should really take it seriously. I don't think Roos does.
