We stopped here on our way to Detroit. Nice vibe and great selection of coffee. However the staff member was really cold and left us hanging for a while and had nothing to say when we asked about the menu recommendation. We ended up with burrito for breakfast and it was good but a bit pricey given there isn't much special about it. read more

I had to stop by RoosRoast while I was in town to grab a bag of the "Holiday Blend Coffee" because I missed it last year! Luckily, they offered 1/2 pound bags for $8 each. My friend who lives in the area loves their "Honey Vanilla Latte", and I trust his opinion so I knew I had to try it. I usually get the "Hot Chocolate Cold Brew" or the straight up, but wanted to try something new. Overall, it's a solid drink (12 oz for $4.50). It's a good mix of honey and vanilla. I personally don't love it as much as my friend (prefer honey and cinnamon, tbh) but I know many people come to RoosRoast for this drink. I'd still recommend it to people if they are looking for a latte recommendation. Friendly baristas and great coffee shop. RoosRoast is by far my favorite coffee shop in Michigan. Good drinks, quirky vibes, and AMAZING beans. I love the coffee here. Definitely check out their Liberty location if you're closer to downtown! read more

Great neighborhood coffee shop in Ann Arbor. Coffee was fantastic. Only drawback is that the inside seating area is very small so not always great for a casual meeting read more

Good service nice sitting area outside social distancing. Street parking in front and parking in the rear. The area is very quiet. They have umbrellas to for the sun. They have a couple of trees for the shades. I took hot chocolate, it was not as strong as the dark hot chocolate I ask at Caribou, but it was good. Services quick. They use solar energy on the roof. Many people came with the dogs and sat outside. Some humans also came with their human kids: they also sat outside. Positive vibes and funny pictures and writings as well as informative chalk writing on the walls all around inside as well as outside. NB: The neighborhood is so quiet, that sitting outside having my coffee I did not dare to fart because people around me would hear me despite the social distancing. read more

Never in my life have I had a cashier/barista roll their eyes at me for simply existing and ordering coffee. Service is appalling and I hope they have a great day than the one that made them to be this way. read more

I love this coffee shop. I ended up buying a bunch of Christmas gifts here this year. It was great to be able to walk in and get gift boxed items for many of my friends in one place. I even managed to get help getting it all to my car. I'll definitely get gifts here again!! read more

Good quality coffee. I got an iced caramel latte with oat milk. The flavor was good and smooth. I love that they have breakfast options. I got the cheesy potato burrito that had eggs and it was pretty good. They have limited seating inside but plenty of tables outside. They have parking in the back. read more

The coffee- absolutely a better brew due to freshly roasted. If I lived in the area I would stop by daily for a Honey Vanilla Latte. The best! Sadly, I live far away. Took home 2 bags of the Lobster Butter Love as a consolation prize. The service was friendly and helpful. The ambience was eclectic fun inside and out. A must visit when in Ann Arbor. Go Blue! read more

STRONG coffee and dog-friendly outdoor seating! Staff were helpful and my order came out very quickly even though it was packed. I got the breakfast burrito as well and it was tasty :) Parking is limited when it's busy though so be prepared to street-park read more

Once I tried Lobster Butter, I could not drink most other coffees as they taste burned. I buy it in 5 pound bags, ground to order. The place has a lot of character. I always get Ancho Pancho (spicy chocolate coffee drink), prepared iced or warm, or caffeinated or not, depending on the time of day and year. They have several other types of coffee besides LB, often including several single grower varieties. read more

Good coffee if you like dark roasts. Best matcha in Ann Arbor. It gets very busy on the weekends, expect to wait in line. Good outdoor seating read more

I love supporting A2 business but am disappointed not to see ANY diversity in any of your photos. Seriously. No one has paid attention to that? I do love your coffee, but I hope you'll show more support for diversity in your business. If it's there?!?!? Important to me for where I do business. read more

I've always been a fan of the RoosRoast downtown for great quality coffee. Since moving off Packard, I didn't realize they had a second location on Rosewood that I could bike or walk to! Plenty of times I've walked here with my dogs and enjoyed something delicious while sitting outside. This particular location does not have indoor seating (just a small nook off to the side while you wait for your order) but they have plenty of outdoor seating (picnic benches, tables with chairs, covered seating). They even have water bowls for your pup! The service here is always friendly, my order is always perfect, and it's just a wonderful neighborhood spot that I'm lucky to live near! read more

Great place, line was 25 deep at 10am on a Sunday . But the line went quick . I ordered cheesy potato burrito . Was good but kind of small for a man like me. I could easily eat two of them. Cold brew Coffee was good but nothing over the top. Would go again and would recommend. read more

This is my wife's top rated coffee experience of our recent vacation. She says that the coffee is "bold, smooth, and flavorful". "The menu is reasonably priced and the atmosphere is fun." read more

One of my favorite things about traveling is finding independent coffee roasters and shops. Their set-up is simple: one door in another door out, picnic tables on the yard if you want to sit. Looks like the line frequently extends outside but they keep it moving. I ordered one of my usuals, dirty chai, and was really pleased when they asked if I wanted it sweetened, as chai in a lot of places means syrup or presweetened mix that is sweeter than I prefer. Customization is my favorite thing! I also bought a bag of Lobster Butter to take home and just made a pour-over that is delicious. I was at first put off because the heavenly scent of the beans wasn't very strong once brewed, but the cup is wonderful, dark and buttery. Also, I might have been imagining it but I think we could smell the roasting beans from the front yard! read more

Love Roos! First time trying the chai and it wasn't my favorite. Very strong clove notes, but their other drinks are more my taste and this location has a great outdoor area with plenty of shade. read more

Great coffee, delicious breakfast sandwiches, and lots of outdoor seating. They always radiate community and the staff seems pretty cool.

I really love their coffee, friendly staff, and ambiance! This location is super convenient for me and I consider it my "neighborhood coffee shop". If ever I don't make it in to work physically, odds are I'm working from RoosRoast. I would describe the atmosphere as eclectic-y but friendly and calm. There's a cool mix of people - students and young professionals working, older folks coming in for some coffee and conversation, or people just coming in to read and relax. I also saw a knitting club with older women here and it was the cutest thing ever. It's also nice to sit out front (weather permitting) and enjoy a nice ice latte. read more

Roos is one of those places that just does it right. Every time I pass by the Rosewood location there is a good number of people hanging outside, safely distanced, and there's no question why. Roos Roast always has the friendliest staff, excellent food and beverage, packaged coffee and merch, and I really appreciate the way this location has laid out their Covid safety precautions. There is clear signage for where to go and stand and be well-distanced, a little station to fix up your coffee or get a straw -- with hand sanitizer provided -- and the staff are so friendly and helpful (behind their masks). I also had a very positive online order transaction -- the website selection and pickup was super easy, as there is clear signage for where to go for pickup orders. We always have Roos Roast coffee in the house (Lobster Butter Love is a staple) and I've always loved their house-made chai which you can have them sweeten as much or as little as you like (the pre-made mixed are always too sweet!). And I've lost count of how many times I've stopped by the Liberty Street location for a Roos Rice Bowl with a dippy egg. Man, I miss stopping there on my lunch breaks. One day when I'm not working from home I will be a frequent customer again! read more

Friendliest group of people that we encountered during our brief time in Ann Arbor. Loved that they offered gluten free food choices (protein balls, egg bites). I was too cold to appreciate the outdoor seating but it's a cute spot! The jalapeño sauce was so yummy! read more

Nice cafe. Had an excellent cappuccino dry with oat milk and a breakfast burrito that was also delicious. They have a nice outdoor seating area that's spacious and comfortable and you can tell the company makes an effort in sustainability. I'll definitely be back. read more

I can't recommend RoosRoast enough! This place felt really special, it has tons of character and the coffee itself is fantastic. To drink, we had the iced honey vanilla latte, iced cortado, and ancho mocha latte which were all perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor. We ordered everything iced which was perfect for a hot summer day. I also got the egg, ham, and kale breakfast sandwich which far exceeded my expectations. I knew their coffee was a reliable local choice, but I wasn't expecting the food to be so delicious too. It was fresh and tasty--also!! There are not enough words in the dictionary to go on about how great their green sauce is! It's a standard tomatillo recipe on the same level quality of sauces I've had in Mexico. I even asked if they bottled it but sadly they don't (yet...). Combined with the sandwich, it made it an incredible experience. We left with a bag of the lobster butter beans and we've brewed them up in our coffee maker at home, it's a great, robust coffee flavor for everyday. 5/5 for the food and drinks 5/5 for the atmosphere 5/5 for the staff..so nice, helpful, personable, and accommodating. TIP THEM. Thank you Roos for great morning and meal! read more

Happy service. GF/vegan options. Solar-operated. Playful, funky vibe. Tons of outdoor seating. And yes. My large oat latte was delish. Recommend. read more

I don't get it. The coffee was average and the cost was high. The food was poor. The trucker sandwich was bad. The English muffin was wet and the bacon was undercooked had to throw it out. The chocolate chip muffin was edible but not good. Service was pleasant. Lots of seating outside. Ann Arbor food scene has been a let down. read more

Let me just say that the Portland dark roast coffee is hands down, one of the best tasting coffees that I've ever had. If you love full bodied dark, rich coffee, you need to try this! It's full flavor is dark without any bitterness, which is what I love. All their coffees are good but this Portland dark roast is a dream come true! And the biggest bonus, it's organic!!! The folks who work are all so friendly and fabulous, always smiling and very welcoming. I give them 10 stars read more

Great coffee. The seating inside is limited. It is not really a decent place to bring your laptop and work on a day when the weather is bad. However, there are some picnic tables under a covered area outside. So, if the weather is nice, then bring your laptop and work away. The egg bite, which had sweet corn in it, was good. I would definitely try it again and even buy a bag of coffee grounds to brew at home. read more

We were in town for a wedding during Hallo(ween) weekend, and decided to check out the downtown between festivities. Decided to try this cute coffee shop after another guests recommendation. We loved that the barista made the Halloween themed latte art! Very festive and creative! Not to mention really great quality coffee beverages. We took some back for family, you made a few Europeans very happy with some great coffee. My boyfriend also got the Roos specialty sandwich which he just raved about. Can't wait to explore Michigan again soon and enjoy another cup of deliciousness! read more

In spite of being very close to work , never got an opportunity to try this place but finally tried this amazing spot and its an awesome experience. I'm kind of a person who cannot stay beyond 1 hr at coffee shops but I felt so comfortable hence stayed around 3 hrs. Ordered Small Matcha Latte($3.75)and Donut ($1.50). Matcha was great but donut was so dry and hard. Pros: -------- Friendly Staff Great Coffee Free Parking Street Parking Good Wifi Speed Clean Restrooms Cool Ambience Patio Seating Good place to Work Funky Decor Cons: ---------: Donuts can be better. I would definitely return and try other menu and suggest everyone to try this spot. read more

One of my favorite A2/Ypsi coffee roasters. The Rosewood cafe is every bit as funky and cool as the man John Roos himself. A great place to grab some coffee and work (post pandemic) or grab some coffee for home. read more

They have yummy vegan options! Today I had a tofu scramble burrito & chocolate muffin

I went here one day on a whim, and while I loved the location, I wasn't overly impressed with the coffee. Now this could be because I'm a Starbucks drinker. I am thinking I'd like to go back when Covid-19 restrictions are lowered and I feel more relaxed to have a different kind of coffee. I'm sorry I can't give more detailed review. Btw, the barista was nice read more

We frequent Roosroast for the great coffee, incredible breakfast burritos, and honorable mission by using solar power to roast beans! Every time we go to the store we've loved our coffee, however the last 2 bags of beans we brought home have not been up to par. Hopefully just a bad batch as prior bags have been great. read more

If you are looking for that small, mom-n-pop shop feel, head to RoosRoast. As soon as I walked in it felt like a home. Very welcoming and very open layout, split into two separate rooms on opposing sides of the barista area. One side was set up for more of a work station with more tables with chairs. The other side, in which I chose to sit on, was a little more cozy with an added couch for some comfort seating. Even had a two player PacMan game! Was bothered by a couple bees for a minute, but he doors were kept open and is understandable. The shop felt steady with customers but not overly busy for the size of the place. Outside there wasn't much of a patio but multiple large tables sat in the grass and provided a great arrangement for outdoor enjoyment. The baristas were all so friendly and energetic, helping make that home like feel every more enjoyable and delightful. The latte came and was good. Whole milk was used and gave it nice texture and body, but in the flavor department, nothing stood out to me. It was mellow, calm, soft nutty profile and an added floral touch. It worked, it made for a cozy time, but just had nothing to provide a distinction against other shops/lattes. I bought a couple bags of beans to brew at home and we shall see if those provide more flavor variety compared to the simple espresso. Really looking forward to the Portland In The 90s bag as they stated it was one of the darkest, if not the darkest, blend they have/do roast. Great spot, large location, I'll be back sometime down the road, as I missed the "empty cup" shot. Signed, Empty Cup Reviews read more
