Espy opened down the street from us a bit ago but I had been overdue in checking it out. Finally…read morerectified that this past week when I visited for a bite and a bit of caffeination and had an excellent visit. First off the space is beautiful. Very bright and airy and extremely spacious. Plenty of seating and lots of greenery and solid wifi make it a great place to set up shop for a bit, which I did as I sat in on a few work calls during my visit. They have a smaller but curated menu, both of food and beverages, with a real focus on the beans and expertly prepared coffee/espresso. They don't have many syrups or flavors, setting it up to let their roasts shine. I do like my coffee a little sweet so opted for the honey in my iced latte and it was delicious. For bites they have a few items, including an egg scramble, egg sandwich, sourdough pancakes (which is garnering them quite a following!) and my choice, the "Good Salad" which was greens, warm roasted potatoes, and fresh dill topped with a hazelnut green garlic crunch. I added the optional soft boiled egg for a bit of protein and it was great! I wish they sold the hazelnut green garlic crunch because I would put it on EVERYTHING. They also have a few baked goods available and I definitely snatched up the last chocolate walnut cookie while I was there. I'm not sure if they warmed it up a bit for me or they just make a magical gooey cookie but the chocolate chunks were melty and so decadent. They had a few seasonal strawberry based items right now, including some ice cream and beverages. I meant to grab the latter on my way out but got distracted and forgot. Next time for sure! It might have taken me a minute to get here but it won't be a minute before I get back!

I came here this afternoon with my best friend wanting to try a new place. I ordered a honey…read morecinnamon latte with their signature Ope Milk and my friend order the same but with ice and dairy milk. Her drink was great, very similar to Roos Roast and very enjoyable (I tried a sip). My drink was good quality but I didn't prefer the Ope milk because of the distinct nutty and roasted taste of the sunflower seeds. Because I am lactose intolerant and that is the only option, I don't think I would come back here for coffee. I could tell by the taste aside from the milk that the coffee was good quality and brewed with great attention to detail. As for flavors, Espy only had two flavor options on their menu which is unique and has its own pros and cons. I love that the seltzer water is on the house. I would love to try some food here next time I come. Amanda was our barista. They were incredibly kind and eccentric in the best way. They made us feel comfortable and helped us navigate the menu well. Hopefully I have them as a barista again :) The overall vibe of the cafe is amazing. The merch is very cute and as a ceramicist, I really appreciate the handmade mugs, plates, planters, and so on. The open layout was spacious and I genuinely enjoyed being in there. I hope to come back soon and maybe just order a different drink to try,

I'm a massive black coffee enjoyer and Comet is consistently top tier. The biggest difference for…read moreme is their pour-over instead of the batch brew jugs that have been sitting around. You can taste the freshness. They also rotate beans pretty often, which keeps things fresh and exciting. I've had a lot of great flavors there and I actually look forward to trying whatever they will have next. The Nickels Arcade location is great too. Small space, but it has a quiet old Ann Arbor feel that fits the coffee perfectly. Easily one of my favorite spots in the city.

With that being said, my hot take has always been that millennials make some of the best coffee. I tried the miso caramel hot latte with oat milk, the honey matcha, and a mango lemonade, all of which turned out delicious! The miso caramel had a deep rich miso flavor which complimented the caramel so well. Though I probably wouldn't order it again because it wasn't quite my preferred sweetness for that flavor combo, I still admired the ingenious of the flavor combo and really enjoyed it once I added a little extra sugar. The honey matcha was very good and I like the subtle sweetness that the honey gave the matcha. I could tell that their grade of matcha wasn't the best but they made up for it in technique and flavoring. The mango lemonade was a sweet pick me up and I really enjoyed the fresh mango taste. For food, I tried their lox bagel and I will admit, it wasn't my favorite lox bagel I've had. I could tell everything was fresh and I did enjoy it to a degree, but it tasted very heavily pickley and wished it leaned more into the classic lox and caper bagel I prefer. I also didn't prefer paying 16 + tax for it and definitely won't be doing that again. Despite that, I don't think it deserves a removal of a star because it was still made well, it just wasn't for me. Though I'm a gen-Z and the brutalist style lacks the whimsy I so desperately (and totally not performatively) crave, I still appreciate that it cleans and there is so much space to study if necessary. I also appreciate the community mindset with the fresh roasting across the street, pizza bar Nextdoor, and ceramics studio down the road (I love a coffee + ceramics combo as a ceramicist myself). This place is definitely a hidden treasure and I can't wait to try more of it and bring friends along with me.

lots of potential but the staff is incredibly rude which ruined the whole experience…read more tldr: coffee: 2.5/5 food 4/5 service 1.5/5 happened to stumble into DOZER after working out with out of town friends. since it was my first time here i asked the cashier what sizes were available and what they looked like. i was met with a flat "12 or 16 oz" .... okay eventually she showed me what the cups actually looked like. and okay we all have bad days so i kinda just wrote that off. i ordered a 16 oz ube latte and my friends got a 12oz ube latte and a 12oz fruit loop latte. i was actually really impressed and excited about all of the options that were available! additionally we all preferred food (2 burritos and a monte cristo). our coffee came out first and i was already kinda thrown off because even though 2 of us got the same drink in diff sizes, they looked DRASTICALLY different in color. this drink was brown in color and not purple. i wish i kept the drink to take a comparison pic. ok maybe a fluke. tried mine (16oz) and it tasted enough like ube. but when i tried my friends drink.... straight up tasted like the discarded water from espresso mixed w some oat milk. i'm not kidding, it was so gross. my friend was just gonna drink it but im thinking "surely this is mistake and we can get it fixed!" i was sadly mistaken lmao i take the drink up to the barista and tell him what's going on. i don't think was being rude or too demanding by saying "hey my friend ordered this and it doesn't really taste right. can it be remade?" he responded in the most condescending, rude way!! he told me that "because of the different size, the ratio (of milk/ube/espresso) is different because of the size..." and that "if i don't like it i should order something different." .... i was so shocked by this extremely rude response. and i kindly asked for it just to be remade. there were other people standing around so i really didn't want to make a scene, but i really did not appreciate being talked down to in such a way. a mistake is one thing, but to blame it on preference and then to insult my intelligence with some bs excuse like a ratio issue (which doesn't make sense because if you're making the same drink in a diff size.... then wouldn't you scale it up/down to retain the same flavor???). just such a bad customer service experience. he begrudgingly made another one, which i will add, looked and tasted DRASTICALLY different from my 16 oz drink and the original nasty drink!! it was wayyy better which makes me think there is some inconsistencies with how the drinks are made. regardless, at this price point i really think customer service could be way better all around. sad because i work nearby and was exited to have a new coffee place to go into before work, but i will not be returning. the staff who brought out food out was lovely, and i wish there was a more open and inviting vibe here

I like Drip House. I'm happy it's here. However, I don't know if I would be coming much if there…read morewas another coffee shop within a short walking distance. 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.

Whenever someone new is coming to the area, and they ask for a recommendation or a place to meetup, this is my go to suggestion. The cafe is in a great location- right on Jackson Ave and near a I-94 exit. There is a parking lot and additional street parking nearby if needed. The inside of the cafe is very welcoming and cozy, but they also have an outdoor area that is great for the warm days. I highly recommend trying the honeycomb, Shakshuka, or Ful!

The pumpkin spice latte was a highlight: refreshing, with a strong pumpkin spice flavor that really stood out. Overall, a charming and worthwhile stop if you're in Ann Arbor.
