    This is an awesome Coffee and Tea shop located inside of library! They have a lot of offerings and their coffee is great! I got an iced Latte with Lavender and it was amazing. I went here while visiting a friend and she raves about this place! You must check it out!

    This Sweetwaters is set up in the newly remodeled West Branch library. When they announced they'd be opening I was SO excited since there's definitely a lack of good coffee shops on the west side of town (sorry, Biggby). This did not disappoint. Plenty of seating, great beverage options (love the cold brews they've had for the summer), lots of tasty pastries and more to nibble on, and really REALLY friendly baristas make this a new favorite spot for working or having meetings in town. There's also plenty of seating and great wifi thanks to the integration into the library. Welcome to the neighborhood, Sweetwaters! I'm so happy to have you!

    Pretty okay coffee place. Not your normal coffee shop because it's attached to a library. But the quality isn't changed at all by that. It's also quiet because it's a library but does get packed at times because of library goers. Would recommend the dreamy cold brew, or their cold brew in general. It's always amazing.

    Love this place. I gave it 4 stars because they charge 25 cents for a cup of ice water, which is ridiculous.

    This is the best ice cream place I've ever been It's like a…read moreclassier better version of a salt & straw. That's all I needed was to find more amazing ice cream in Michigan that I can't take home with me. I'm also never in Ann Arbor so that doesn't help I tried fresh basil ice cream. It was drizzled with lemon olive oil. The most amazing and unique flavors. They have butterfly moon, not blue moon. While blue moon tastes like fruity pebbles, butterfly moon tastes exactly like froot loops and is even the color the milk turns when you have a bowl. Service was friendly and didn't mind us trying lots of samples. How can you not when they're all so amazing and unique !!

    I've only been here once so far, but it was really good overall. I tried the salty caramel coffee…read moreand that flavor was genuinely incredible. Definitely the standout for me. I also got the double dark chocolate, which was decent but a little more lackluster than I expected. They have a huge variety of flavors though and it definitely feels like the kind of place you need to come back to multiple times to really explore the menu. Every time I walk by there's basically a line around the block, so clearly people love it. Thankfully when I actually went, the service moved pretty quickly. Definitely somewhere I'd come back to try more flavors.

    We were visiting friends in AnnArbor and were downtown and wanted a treat after some shopping…read more They took us here which is a fave of theirs it's a really cute little shop with nice seating, French themed decor and a welcoming staff. The case of macarons was beautiful , multicolored rows of well labelled flavors. We each made some selections and ordered some drinks. Our hosts ordered a large French press pot to share. I had time to speak with staff about the last k of space for baking and how they arrived at so many flavors. They do not bake onsite but receive frozen shipments from the main bakery in Grand Rapids as handiest the Holland, Michigan store. They defrost enough each for each day so they never run out of flavors. They were some of best I have ever had. Nothing like what you might find in the bakery section of a grocer. This is an historic residential building retrofit with a nice conversion to retail without losing its charming brickwork. I will definitely return when next in Ann Arbor.

    I've wanted to stop by but always had planned activities elsewhere. Until today…read more The shop is beautiful: exposed brick walls, small marble-topped tables, petite vases filled with flowers, sparkly chandeliers, and a garland of pink and white flowers. It's so appealing. The macarons displayed in the case were equally appealing. I don't recall all the flavors, but I had a tough time picking out flavors for my friend and, of course, something for me. I chose three macarons to enjoy at the shop: blueberry, coconut, and strawberry cheesecake. I liked the delicate crack of the macaron shells and the creamy, flavorful centers. Each sported a design to distinguish itself from the others further. I also had a piping hot Earl Gray tea along with these treats. Espresso, French and Italian sodas, and lattes are also available. Customers stopped in throughout my visit for a quick purchase or to savor their macarons at nearby tables. Service was disappointing.

    Excellent plant based cinnamon roll heaven. I have had one of their rolls at a festival in Detroit,…read morebut finally was able to visit the brick and mortar store. I walked over, but metered street parking is all around. Store is small, but had a few tables and several employees working. All were very nice. I ordered the lemon tart roll which had a lemony glaze and fresh raspberries and blueberries. Perfection. Do your homework before coming in as in read the online menu. There are so many choices from OG rolls to chocolatey mashups. Really yummy baked goods. Reasonable prices. All vegan. I'll be back!

    Everyone was super kind here, but I didn't have as good experience as I had last time…read more In general, the product uses an ingredient that hurts my stomach. Unfortunately, one of the products wasn't labeled since it was more of a seasonal item and the employee couldn't tell me the allergens for the product and so I didn't feel confident or comfortable purchasing it. A lot of people go to a store like this because they have a certain diet preference and I feel like the stuff should be a little bit more knowledgeable or at least have some incentive to ask someone who might know instead of just disregarding a customer . that being said I'm really thankful for vegan options, especially for those of us who have all allergies. I was able to take a few treats home to my baby who also has significant allergies and she really enjoyed the lemon blueberry bar.

    I can't say enough good things about TeaHaus. I love tea, and feel like it doesn't get as much love…read moreas coffee in terms of just the experience of tasting, smelling, etc. Thankfully, they ship, so I can order my teas when I get back home as well. Honestly, I was a bit overwhelmed when I came in. There's a tea bar area, the loose leaf tea wall, pastries and other desserts, swag, a tasting area, and apparently it was trivia night tonight. I experienced all of this in just the first minute or two of entering. And it was packed! I really appreciate the time taken to explain the shop to me and walk me through many of the teas. Although they were busy, I didn't feel rushed (there were 2-3 people working the registers) and it felt very personal chatting. I was able to smell a bunch, and could really tell the differences in them. I ended up getting 3 50g bags and 2 sample bags, plus some stickers and pins. Really excited to try these out. Their range goes from darker to lighter, and they have a wide variety of black, green, rooibos, and herbal teas/blends.

    It's bigger than it looks from the outside!…read more There is some seating by the windows and then some near the back area (behind the "tea bar"). They are selling really cute tea ornaments and they have other things like tea pots and cards with funny phrases like "It was you Oolong." They don't have a physical menu because the flavors constantly change. You can look online but for the most part, have to stand behind the counter in diff areas to see alll the flavors! I spotted Almond Milk Tea and she let me smell it and I was sold! It smelled wonderful! When it was actually brewed, it was ok though. It doesn't really have milk in it either :0p My MIL got the Hisbiscus (a tad too sour) and my husband got the Japanese Cherry green tea (that was good and has a mild flavor if you like that sort of thing). They have signs on the table that there is no Wifi because they encourage unplugged conversations and connections.
