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.

Parking was a little tight, even on this relatively early (0900hr) Saturday morning. Seating on the…read moreinside consisted of either a community table or a tiny two-person computer table and chairs against a wall. Otherwise it was "drink and dine al fresco". Stand in line to place your order and pay, then stand at the end of the counter to await your items. I ordered a hot and delicious macchiato along with a flavorful eggy cheesy pork sausage burrito. High recommendations! My companion enjoyed his Cortado (pictured) with an almond scone. The scone's almaretto was flavor-forward, but the texture was a bit too cakey for my palate. Complimentary WiFi was available, and for all the people coming and going, the inside volume wasn't too bad for conversation.

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.

We were looking for a destination where we could sit outside and enjoy the perfect weather. York…read moreoffers both dine in tables, but also has a good sized outdoor patio with tables and umbrellas which is very nice. In addition to their own menu, they also have a rotating pop-up food truck, which is usually on-site, near the outside seating. You can check their website to see what the pop up is on a particular day. York is a unique venue. Their own menu offering a diverse choice of fresh offerings: Soup, Salads and Sandwiches. They also have fresh meats and cheeses you can select from to create a Charcuterie Board, and pair with a nice bottle of wine, which they have an extensive selection. We were looking for something lite today, so my wife and I shared the Reuben sandwich. Corned Beef, Emmental Swiss, Brinery sauerkraut, house-made Russian dressing, extra-virgin olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, grilled on Rye. A generous portion of corned beef ( you can do corned beef or pastrmi). Ingredients were fresh and very flavorful. Once you decide what you want, you place your order at the counter, find a seat, and a server will bring your food to your table when it's ready. Friendly and helpful staff. Parking is a little limited, so you might have to search for a spot, but it's worth checking out when in Ann Arbor.

But it was super crowded so I ended sitting in the back section, which was more comfortable because there were less people. We got: - 2 small vanilla lattes with whole milk - pastrami sandwich: I was expecting better bread to be honest, it looked like a cafeteria sandwich in my opinion - large drip coffee It was a good vibe seeing people working and college kids working. The outdoor area was also open since it was a beautiful day out!

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!

Our son had been at debate camp for seven weeks, and we kept seeing Apple Pay charges every morning for this place called Ondo. So of course, when we came to pick him up, we had to see where all his allowance was going. Okay-okay, we get it now. They have an incredible selection of Korean-influenced pastries that are as good-looking as they are tasty. Nothing we tried was overly sweet or heavy, which made it super easy to keep trying more. The drinks can be as sweet, foamy and Instagram-ready as you want, but you can also get something straight-up if that's more your thing. Basically, Ondo feels like a little slice of K-Town dropped into Ann Arbor. And now we understand why our son was broke by the end of camp.

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".
