    After loving White Lotus Farms' goods at the Ann Arbor Farmer's Market for years, I'm so excited they now have a brick and mortar cafe, bakery and market open 5 days a week to get my fix! Popped in Saturday morning around 8:30/8:45, the second weekend after opening. There was a good smattering of people there enjoying breakfast, but no line. Breakfast offerings mostly include their incredible pastries! Mostly sweet, a couple savory options. Best pastries in town. Creative, delicious. Would love if they could be warmed up for in house dining. I got the pistachio blueberry bun with an oat milk latte. Just fabulous! Am excited to come back and try their lunch offerings! Salads, sandwiches, and pizzas. The pizzas sound really interesting and yummy especially. On the bakery and market side, they have a small but mighty selection of grab and gos, produce, pantry, frozen, baked breads, and cheese. Cafe line was pretty long by the time I left around 9:15am! Maybe due to it just being second weekend, but I hope they continue to enjoy lots of success after this initial opening wave. Lots of easy parking on site!

    Lovely little place, reminds me of a farmer's market! There's food, some fresh groceries available, homemade bread and baked goods and wonderful coffee choices. Staff is friendly and there's plenty of seating. Great place to gather with friends or catch a quick meeting however laptops are not welcome here. Cute cozy spot in Ann Arbor and a must visit for fresh local goods

    Beautiful new space, scrumptious new menu items, an oasis of goodness. Highly recommend trying the side salads with anything you get- creative combos with house-made dressings. The brie and sour cherry grilled cheese is next level good. I'll definitely take photos to post next visit. was too busy admiring the colored ceramic coffee cups and dinnerware to snap a pic. .

Because they've replaced them with additional delicious offerings like local pastries (donuts from Washtenaw Dairy and other bakeries like Two Songs and vegan offerings from Botanical Bakeshop) and tasty offerings like breakfast offerings like breakfast burritos and bowls, bagels, etc (big fan of the farmer's bowl). Also their chicken salad sandwich is quite good, too! I am also a HUGE HUGE fan of their barrel aged nitro cold brew. Oh man it's so good and so unique! Highly recommend if you like a really complex coffee.

Their online order and drive through pick up option is super convenient. I love their coffee and have been pleasantly surprised by their breakfast sandwich and their hot honey chicken sandwich! Both are delish! They also carry donuts from washtenaw dairy and baked goods from Two Songs so there is plenty local delicious treats to try! Indoors their space is chill and quiet with most folks working or studying so it's a pretty relaxing environment. They're always super friendly even over the drive through window and always offer my dog a treat which is super nice! Definitely recommend!

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!

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.

First, their lamination is ON POINT. Then add the Korean flavors and flair to it? Chef's kiss. So Injeolmi is basically like a mochi rice cake dessert with roasted soy bean powder on it. So they did their take on it by dusting the exterior with the roasted soy bean powder and putting the rice cake part INSIDE. You basically have to eat this day-of though - rice flour goodies are never that great re-heated. *trompe de l'oeil desserts - they have various ones that look like fruit BUT my favorite cheesecake that looks like a piece of cheese on a cheese board ha. Love the whimsy. *the sleeping bear cakes! I think this is more of a Valentine's Day special - I'm not sure if it's year-around but it's so cute and the chocolate mousse is so luscious with the perfect ratio of raspberry. *Dubai chocolate mochi - this is probably my favorite take on this viral trend. It's a really fascinating texture with the soft rice cake/mochi meeting the crunchy kataifi. I'm into though!

    Come early because they tend to sell out of some stuff by the early afternoon! That Dubai chocolate…read moremochi is so good. A bit on the pricier side, but such a variety of textures and great flavor. The flakiness on the pastries is also so well done - many layers, all nice and neat. Very pretty too.

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.

    I'd give Selma a 4 overall and a 3 for the food (which is not necessarily fair, since the menu and…read morechef change each time). But the experience alone is worth going - once or many times. Unfortunately I missed out on the original location, but the new spot is easy enough to find and very comfortable, open, bright and sunny. It feels like walking into a family kitchen - smiling faces greet you, ask you how you are, tell you about the co-op and invite you to sit for breakfast - possibly with other patrons, since table sharing is totally normal there. The menu is small, but the selections are good ones. We had the cornmeal waffles, bread pudding (loved the crunchy top and didn't need any syrup at all), and some of today's greek specials. Everything was tasty (but not outstanding) and extremely fresh. I don't think I've ever appreciated feta so much! I also liked the basic but good quality coffee. Above all else, the atmosphere is what you go for. The buckets of freshly picked "try me" asparagus at the door, the ability to watch the chef and kitchen hands work, seeing all the volunteers collaborate, enjoying the company of other patrons - mixing, mingling, learning about Ann Arbor and making new friends. If you're into it, you'll be very into it. Note to bring cash - there are no "prices", but a $12-$15 donation is suggested, and completely reasonable.

Although Selma doesn't open until 9am, by the time we arrived at 9:08, the wait for our party of 3 was already at about 40 minutes. I'm not entirely sure if this is normal or if everyone else at school had the same idea so it was unusually busy. Once we got seated at 9:50, I ordered the strawberry bread pudding with roasted potatoes and bacon. One of my friends got huevos rancheros with chorizo sausage and the other got gluten-free waffles with fruit compote. While we really really wanted to like the place because of the concept and how much everyone else talks about this place, the food was really just very mediocre. Specifically, my bread pudding was extremely bland and runny and tasted like someone pre-chewed it...and I'm usually a huge fan of bread pudding! I ended up drowning my food in syrup to eat it but I guess people come here for the experience of community dining, not for a culinary treat. As for bacon, 1 piece was perfectly cooked and the other was too burnt to eat. So perhaps all food here is luck-based and I ended up with the super-soggy center of the bread pudding rather than better textured parts towards the edges?? Still, like I said, bucket list checked.
