I still love Dozer even though they got rid of my beloved corned beef sandwich and their amazing house-made donuts! Because they've replaced them with additional delicious offerings like local pastries (donuts from Washtenaw Dairy and other bakeries like Two Songs and vegan offerings from Botanical Bakeshop) and tasty offerings like breakfast offerings like breakfast burritos and bowls, bagels, etc (big fan of the farmer's bowl). Also their chicken salad sandwich is quite good, too! I am also a HUGE HUGE fan of their barrel aged nitro cold brew. Oh man it's so good and so unique! Highly recommend if you like a really complex coffee. read more

I frequently take my dog on walks at Saginaw forest nearby so Dozer has become a frequent go-to for coffee and a bite before or after these walks. Their online order and drive through pick up option is super convenient. I love their coffee and have been pleasantly surprised by their breakfast sandwich and their hot honey chicken sandwich! Both are delish! They also carry donuts from washtenaw dairy and baked goods from Two Songs so there is plenty local delicious treats to try! Indoors their space is chill and quiet with most folks working or studying so it's a pretty relaxing environment. They're always super friendly even over the drive through window and always offer my dog a treat which is super nice! Definitely recommend! read more

I love to come here to study! They have plenty of seats and outlets. The main dining area has fun music playing with people ordering at the counter. There are other rooms without music that make for great meeting spaces or study spots. Dozer also becomes a smooj bar after hours! They have plenty of outdoor seating as well. Their food is high quality for a cafe and very tasty. Prices are a little expensive for an everyday coffee drink, but perfect for a pick me up or occasional treat. read more

DOZER Coffee - Matcha Latte and Farmer's Burrito - Cafes Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

I was on the hunt for a cool coffee shop to get some work done, and DOZER popped up on Yelp. It's located in a bit of an industrial area outside of downtown, but the space is nice with lots of outdoor tables and some seating inside. I found parking in back behind the building (their website has a map showing places you can park). I ordered an iced latte and sat outside since it was a beautiful sunny day. I appreciated that most of the outdoor tables had shade umbrellas. The patio is dog-friendly! They asked my name for my order (yay!!) and the latte was very good. They also serve food, which is a huge plus for me but I had already eaten. I'd definitely come back for their food menu sometime. The building also looked to include a bar and the whole complex also houses the HOMES Brewery and Smooj facilities. I think they do events here so it's a fun spot to check out. I'll be back! read more

This place was packed but the line moved quickly. Barrel aged espresso tonic is AMAZING, very unique, sweet, kinda boozy tasting, refreshing, and perfect for spring.

Best matcha in Ann Arbor, as far as I was able to find. Also, some good food options and a quiet place if you want to work there!

The baristas were very nice, and the vibes inside were chill. read more

What a great space! My book club met here and there was tons of space, lots of options (coffee + beer), and snacks. For the offer, They make all the flavored syrups in-house and the one I tried was delectable. Who would have thought up a peanut butter latte!? It was delicious! I was there on a Saturday afternoon and there were lots of people studying, working, socializing. It was just a chill environment and a great meeting place. read more

I really didn't want to write this review. I've been coming to Dozer Coffee for three years and genuinely wanted to love it. But after enough chances, I think it's fair to be honest. The pattern has been consistent: orders not ready on time, wrong items, poor handoff. One time my drink was spilled on the way out. These things happen once -- but when they happen repeatedly over years, it stops feeling like a bad day and starts feeling like a systemic issue. At a premium price point, the baseline expectation is simple: a friendly face, an accurate order, handed off with care. That hasn't been my experience. I've given it time and chances. I finally stopped going. I hope they turn it around because the concept deserves better execution. Note this does not apply to the beer side or campo pizza, I've only ever had positive experiences with those. read more

After a long time I enjoyed the coffee here (took the honey bee and brown sugar lattes, they were both good). The sandwiches on the other hand were ok, not a huge fan of them. Will definitely come back for the coffee. read more

Dozer is a cool, modern space that is perfect for meeting up with friends or working remotely. The indoor/outdoor seating options are great for Michigan weather and they pastries are delicious! Parking can get a bit tight, but there seems to be a little overflow parking in the lots nextdoor. read more

Although I love the atmosphere and working environment, the food and drinks weren't up to par as previous. The croissant was less light, buttery, and flakey and more malleable and bun-like. The latte lacked flavor and tasted more like hot foamed milk. I hope this isn't a running trend because this place is/was one of my favorites study spots. read more

This review is just for their Mushroom Fondue sandwich. It is stellar! It's on their All Day Pre-Prepared Hot Sammie menu, but it presents hot and fresh. It's pan-roasted mushrooms, arugula pesto, and muenster cheese on house focaccia. Sounds similar but it was delicious. For vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike (I personally am not). Excellent focaccia! The pan roasted mushrooms were large and very savory. Arugula pesto bright green and tasty. Lots of warm, melty cheese. It is messy! So grab extra napkins. It looks on the smaller size but was pretty filling and kept me full for hours. Great environment too - indoor and outdoor seating options. Connected to HOMES Campus bar where you can get beers and other beverages. read more

How have I not written a review for DOZER yet?! Huge fan of HOMES new-ish campus space. The coffee here is super creative with lots of delicious seasonal options. I'm also a huge fan of their corned beef sammie (roasted corned beef brisket, fried egg, potato pancake, russian dressing on their scratch milk bread.) It's one of my favorite sammies in AA with a wonderful cup of coffee, it's chef's kiss! Last time I was there, I also ordered a wonderful pastry! They recently revamped all their baked offerings (the doughnuts back then were pretty but unfortunately just meh!). They have pour over hers but unfortunately don't offer iced pour overs at this time. It's a lovely and bright space good for a quiet spot to read and/or work! read more

Coffee is great I got ganache mocha latte ( recommended by my PT) The latte art is very pretty, the milk is very smooth, and blended well with the dark ganache chocolate bitterness l.

A cool local coffee shop on the HOMES campus. I loved the August special which is an iced horchata latte - it was refreshing and not too sweet. The blueberry muffin was fresh and the Corned Beef Hash sandwich I got last time was so savory and filling. They have ample seating outdoors and their indoor seating includes large wooden booths a few two top round table and two separate bar seating areas. read more

Guy behind counter was so rude and thirty dollars for two sandwiches and a coffee is insane. Got my coffee and went into the next room, and there's two people grinding on each other in a silent disco? It is the definition of millennial-core, so if overpriced food and being really pompous is your vibe then go for it. read more

Great coffee shop in A2. Searched for a walkable coffee / breakfast while vehicle was being serviced at Subaru. Great surprise. All forms of coffee. Drip, pour-overs and all forms of foo foo coffee.

I did not know this place was even here but I am obsessed. As much as I love to go down town I much prefer avoiding all of the downtown traffic. This place is located on the west side meaning you avoid most traffic. There is plenty of parking so you don't have to add in extra time to park. The has a modern art appeal to the atmosphere which I think Tia really cool. There is indoor and outdoor seating and outdoor they have little fire pits. It's so cute. The coffee shop is clean and the employees are sooooo nice! I told them I had never been there and they made the ordering process so easy. My friend and I both had the seasonal gingerbread latte. Definitely give them a try! read more

Cool hipster industrial vibes- great place to do work or meet a friend. There's a taproom next door as well and lots of outdoor seating with fire pits. The staff was friendly and the coffee was pretty good- the espresso tasted like a dark roast but just as a heads up, it was super hot. Didn't taste burnt but it was hot. There's also a nice selection of baked desserts and goodies from local bakeries like Songbird and Bird Dog Baking. They even had my favorite pumpkin pie bar from Songbird. read more

We were in town for a Michigan game and staying at an Airbnb not too far away. We needed some food and caffeine before the game so stopped by here. I got the drip coffee, the steak burrito, and the apple caramel donut. My friend got a vanilla latte and huevos rancheros burrito. My stuff was all really good. The donut had this apple filling in it like apple pie and the top of the donut was like a caramel apple. The steak burrito had a good amount of filling in it. Delish! My friend really liked her latte. Her burrito was mostly egg, though, so I don't think she liked it as much as mine. We liked it so much that we stopped again the next morning before heading back to Chicago. Definitely recommend if you're in Ann Arbor! [note: it's not by much else, and we drove by it the first time. It's tucked away near a bunch of car dealerships. It has a green awning with some outdoor seating. Also looks like it turns into a bar at night] read more

DOZER Coffee - Gingerbread Latte - Cafes Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

I only visit Michigan a couple times a year now to see family and friends, so I've been eyeing DOZER Coffee ever since it opened late 2021. My friends in the area have hyped up this cafe and raved about the sandwiches, donuts, and coffee here. Yesterday was finally the day for me to try it. It's kind of in the middle of nowhere - as in, there's nothing else next to it except for factory looking buildings. The exterior is definitely unique with the "this previously used to be an abandoned warehouse but it's now a modern and hip brewery and coffee shop" vibe. The neon lime green color and architecture are eye catching and striking for sure. Lots of outdoor benches and seating which was perfect for yesterday's warmer weather. There's plenty of indoor seating (you can sit in the brewery side or cafe side). I've seen this set up in other cities, but first time in the Ann Arbor area. I love that they have rotating donut selections here. There's a whole open display on the counter with a little description for each one so you know exactly what you're getting. They're also very unique with the flavors and it makes you want to try a couple (if not all) each time. FYI - if you want to try a sandwich, a donut or two and a latte, you can easily spend over $20, lol. CORNED BEEF HASH - 10.50 This was a slider sized sandwich (no sides, just a sandwich) and is is pretty pricy for the area. The corned beef was tender and flavorful, and the fried egg was much needed to add more to the sandwich. Potato pancake and Russian dressing were both delicious! Overall, decent sandwich that I wolfed down quickly but I agree with the other Yelp reviews that it's a "snack" size. I'd recommend giving it a try once but definitely too expensive for me to get it every time I stop by. HONEY DUST LATTE - 6 I got the regular size with an extra double shot of espresso (+ 1.50) because I usually have a hard time tasting any coffee when I get a flavored latte. The extra double shot is definitely overpowering and I was unable to taste much of the honey or honey powder. My fault, lol. It's a light (not too sweet) latte drink that was still tasty nonetheless. ESPRESSO & TONIC - 4 My friend got this and it was pretty tasty based on the three sips I had. I've only seen this drink at coffee shops every once in awhile and would definitely recommend this if you want to try what carbonated coffee would taste like. STRAWBERRY FIELDS DONUT - 3 The donut itself was the perfect texture - don't know how else to describe it. I'd prefer a strong strawberry flavored glaze though. Overall, I enjoyed this donut with my coffee! BLACKBERRY LEMONADE DONUT - 4 This donut was stuffed and packed with blackberry jelly. It's definitely a sugar bomb. It was fun to try this one - the tangy and fruity flavors were fantastic, but overall, it's much too sweet for me. I do appreciate the creativity and thought put into this donut. Overall, great first time experience. Very expensive, but at least I got to see all the hype my friends in the area have been saying about this place. Solid cafe to check out in the Ann Arbor area. read more

If you need coffee and a great breakfast sandwich, swing by DOZER's drive-thu. The coffee was pretty good and the corned beef sandwich was amazing. If you have high expectations for donuts like I did, you might be disappointed. $3.50-4.00 per donut is pricing for fancy Chicago donuts. Their flavors just were not worth that (the M&M's donut especially, which was a plain donut with a few candies and chocolate drizzle). The cocoa mocha donut was debatably an exception, but overall they still felt super expensive. I would probably come back for a sandwich someday, and the campus area is really cool (especially once the weather warms up). read more

Lots of inside and outside space, friendly, helpful staff, good coffee, and beer options for later!

Great place to get locally roasted coffee, however there's not much space inside to sit down, except outside during the nice weather seasons. Their coffee if flavorful and delicious to me . If you enjoy dark & rich coffee aroma and taste, you would like it. But if you are very light coffee (like brown water) drinker, sorry to say but their coffee might be too strong for you. read more

DOZER Coffee - RoosRoast Coffee!!! - Cafes Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Dozer Coffee is a fun new spot to grab some Java and a bite to eat. After a recent lunchtime visit, I can't wait for warmer weather to take advantage of its patio. It was a weekday around noon, and I wanted to meet my partner in crime for a quick bite to eat. He mentioned that Dozer was near his workplace and recommended we check it out. A quick Yelp perusal revealed good reviews and a low number of ratings (meaning it must be newer), so I decided it was the place to go to. Located on the west side of Ann Arbor just off of Jackson Rd, Dozer occupies what looks like an old warehouse that has been transformed with large windows to let the light in and a patio that is already beckoning, despite the cold. The front portion of the shop offers coffee and nibbles, while the back portion looks like it has a wine bar. Since it was lunchtime we decided to order Sammies. I got the Hamwich. I loved the sweet/hot combination of the pineapple and the pickled chilis slathered in honey soy mayo. The texture of the ham patty was a little dry for me, as was the scratch milk bread. For the price, I found the sandwich to be way too small, and it didn't come with any type of a side. I actually turned to my PIC after we finished and asked "Want to hit up the Chinese place around the corner?" I'm glad I got to visit, and I'll look forward to visiting in the summer when the patio is open. For my next lunch, though, I'll pass on Dozer. read more

Pros: Lots of seating indoors and outdoors Friendly staff Reliable wifi Great coffee, matcha, and tea selections Rotating food vendors (they used to do more of this but now it's just Frita Batidos and a monthly vendor) Open at 7am Dog-friendly patio Cons: No almond milk Not a lot of in-house food options Food they do offer is super heavy/greasy Rotating food vendors mentioned in Pros are not open during lunch hours (they are there only during HOMES hours) Closes at 5pm, while the rest of the campus stays open late. I wish coffee drinks were an n/a option after 5pm Cats (I've been here several times when people have had cats on tables and portable litter boxes. So unsanitary.) Leashing of dogs should be enforced read more

What a fantastic - and much needed - coffee spot on the west side of Ann Arbor. Great coffee, sandwiches and breakfast options. Arguably the star of the show is their in house donuts. It's also a fantastic space with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating (with fire pits). Synecdoche Design really knocked it out of the park with the design. Also HOMES Brewery beers and hard seltzers are also available. There's plenty of parking in the back. Don't get fooled by the few spots up front. read more

I went for lunch the first week that they were open. It's a great space and the fire pits were very nice. At a time when we all want more outdoor spaces in which to gather, this is a great addition. The staff were all very friendly and were all masked. We had a Chai Latte, a Mushroom Fondue sandwich, and a Ahi Tuna sandwich. The sandwiches were very tasty but snack size. I would imagine that most people would need to eat two to be full. I also would have liked to see more sides. The chai was watery and needed to steep longer. With time, I'm sure they will work out the bugs. read more

My mocha was made quickly and there wasn't a line when we went on a weekday morning at around 10 am. read more
