    bathroom

    My brother and I reserved a table online for 12:30 PM - first time seeing a coffee shop have tables to reserve, but I thought that was such a clever idea for people that know when they want to come in & want to ensure they have a seat as we saw a few groups come in and struggle to find a table inside (there were plenty outside, though). We got the seasonal coffee flight, which came with 4 drinks for $3.25 each: strawberry basil matcha, banana bread latte, strawberry latte, berry mocha latte Each one was delicious and not too sweet, but we'd recommend starting with the matcha as the coffees had stronger flavors that could overwhelm your tastebuds. The banana bread latte was a surprising favorite of the three as it really captured the flavor you'd expect without having an artificial banana taste. I recommend getting a stirrer as the drinks could separate / flavor could settle at the bottom as you taste them. The staff were all nice and the space was an excellent spot to work (free WiFi, outlets thoughtfully placed, good lighting). The bathroom is big, single-stalled, and I appreciated it came with COVID-19 tests, tampons, and pads.

    Orange cardamom latte is fantastic! It was a bit sweet and a bit citrusy and overall just a really good drink. I love when a spot has house made syrup instead of pumping some random mass produced nonsense into my coffee. It's a very busy spot so possibly there's a wait for your drink but the service is excellent and they do a good job!

    Loved this coffee shop! The cappy was on point, great vibes inside, would come again. I love how the whole shop is surrounded by windows!

    I haven't been here for awhile and glad I was able to stop by this morning. Overall, solid vibes and space. There are so many plants and other decorations here that gives the coffee shop a lot of personality. I like that you have to show your proof of vaccination to be able to sit in - a place that cares about COVID is a win in my book. The cortado with oat milk was $3.40 (+ $0.50 up charge for oat milk) which is solid pricing for a double shot espresso. The initial taste upon each sip is fruity and juicy - very strong espresso which I like! However, there's not much after taste. Their espresso is made using their "Colombia" beans which is a light roast with apple, walnut, dark chocolate, and brown sugar notes. Personally, I couldn't really taste the dark chocolate. Just very fruity and juicy! The latte art was beautiful - very skilled barista since cortados are small! Overall, I like this place for their prices, vibes and decent cortado. I'm eyeing their black coffee and cafe miel the next time I stop by.

    One of the best coffee shops in AA! My latte was so smooth and creamy. Perfect amount of sweetness. The interior is so bright and beautiful with the all the greenery and plants. The also have a nice outdoor seating area which is really nice in the warmer weather.

    I went to Vertex like three times a week last semester, and this place is one of my favorite cafes in Ann Arbor. I think their latte is best in town. Nice vibes and friendly staff. They have unique latte menus so I would definitely recommend trying coffee flights. I usually get a hot latte here. Wish they had larger size too! The only thing is that I've noticed the taste of coffee being a little inconsistent depending on which barista makes your coffee. Sometimes the coffee is incredibly great but sometimes lacking flavor.

    On a recent visit to Ann Arbor, we visited Vertex. OH, you should go. Here's why. It's clean, bright, and very enticing. There are tables with chairs, or benches (none of the seating was padded, if I remember right, so if you're going to be sitting for a while, bring your own cushion). The baristas are friendly, knowledgeable, and very kind. The menu is ON POINT. Look a little to the right of the menu, and you'll see the seasonal drinks. We got the rosemary one, and it was perfect for a cold, snowy day. The bathroom is any gender (nice!). ADORABLE PLANTS EVERYWHERE. Cons: The side door was closed, and there is a step up to get into the building. Also, that step is NOT marked with yellow paint, so our daughter almost fell. If i was in my wheelchair, I would not have been able to enter. Ann Arbor parking (not the problem of the coffee shop!) - we were lucky enough to find a metered spot right on the street (WOOT! Coffee gods were smiling at us). If you are with a group and laughing, it's easy to feel self-conscious about the noise level. I loved this coffee shop, and will definitely be back.

    Coffee was wonderful. Very delicious. We got flights which were super fun and every drink was great! The problem was with the facilities. I went to use the restroom, there were flies in it. I finished my business and washed my hands--when I went to dry, there was some sort of reusable cloth towel system. It said to pull the towel down and dry hands. Only issue is--it had not been cleaned. I pulled it down and found something brown crusted to the towel. I can only imagine what this was. Absolutely disgusting. There were no paper towels and no air dryer. Again, coffee was amazing. But if the employees are drying their hands on this communal poop towel--I don't want to drink the coffee. Really ruined the experience for me.

    Came here for a flat white and they did not disappoint! The espresso was strong and had good flavor. Staff was nice and the outside area is scenic and comfortable on a cool day. Def on my list of good cafes!

We had a Yelp event at their Dearborn location. I really wanted the iced Adeni chai that a few reviews have talked about, but they were unfortunately out. So, I got the hot Adeni chai with no sweetener. It does take a little longer as they brew it fresh. You can watch them heat and steep from the induction stove right there which is pretty cool. I was surprised by how spacious it was. There were ample tables (that I appreciated they were wiping down on a regular basis) as well as WiFi. If I need to change up scenery, I'll have to stop by here. Also they had a whole refrigerated case of goodies. I'll have to come back and get something - that Pistachio dream cheesecake was calling to me!

    Honestly, I had an average experience. The barista was nice and helped recommend a great refresher…read morebut nothing special. We went when there was a student discount (buy one get one free) so that was great, but to be honest, I probably wouldn't go if one of my drinks weren't free- the prices are crazy! But, I guess I can't complain given my normal Starbucks order is around the same cost. Drinks were tasty but the refresher was kind of bland. Again, if we're comparing to Starbucks, I probably would still choose my regular refresher there over this one. Environment was quiet, clean, and easy to study, however it was SO hot! I'm wondering if the heat was on. Not sure why that would be the case since it was the middle of September. Overall, I was a little disappointed with my experience. It did not stand out to me and was overwhelming because of the heat.

They have since changed owners since I last visited, and had the opportunity to meet the new owners daughter who was working on bar that day. She is so friendly and makes a great macchiato!

When I opened the bag I could tell right away it was too fine. I attempted to pull a shot, but got nothing. It was most definitely Turkish grind. Since I could do nothing with the bag, I went back to explain this was ground too fine. The same individual was there and reacted with condensation, saying this is indeed espresso grind, which is basically Turkish, and he doesn't know what kind of maker I have so he cannot dial it in. I said I have never had this problem in the years I have done this at other shops. He acted like he could do nothing for me, so when I pressed that I can do nothing with these beans I spent money on, he got on the phone. At one point I heard him say, "Yes, I tried to explain that to her." As if I didn't know what I was talking about. I was finally given the option to get a bag of beans without having them ground, which is all I really wanted. I can grind the beans in my own grinder at home. I went down the street and bought a bag of beans there. I asked for espresso grind and mentioned that the last place gave me Turkish. She had to look up the appropriate setting, but she got it perfect. When I got home and opened the bag of beans from Black Iron, the beans were oily and smelled burnt. My coffee tasted that way, too. I was rather shocked because the latter I had ordered with my purchase was not bad. I had to use them up slowly by masking the bad taste with my go-to beans.
