Ann Arbor Coffee Roasting Company

Not a bad coffee shop to sit and study. I got a matcha latte and it was pretty good. I like the 2000s throwback music that plays, but I do wish there were more seats.

Excellent coffee! A bit pricey but very good quality. Love the honey cinnamon latte. Staff is very kind as well!

Superb food and service to match. Bella, Lauren, and Dahvi are an exemplary team. Most pastries are made on site, and those that aren’t were locally made. They were excellent in accommodating my allergy (detailed separately) and the whole experience was pleasantly low-stress. The scone I had was fresh out of the oven: lively fruit that wasn’t overbearing, a light pastry with satisfying crumble. This is a can’t miss if you’re passing through!

I was super excited to try this place out after seeing it on Tiktok and Insta, but have to say was pretty disappointed. First off, let me say that my Coconut Creme Latte was really delicious- expensive (medium was $6.25?) - but good. As someone who also works in a higher-priced coffee shop in AA that didn't bother me as much. What was frustrating is the extreme lack of tables/outlets in the place. It is a HUGE coffee shop, there are so many empty walls/lonely chairs, but very few tables. In the pictures you can see the empty wall space and a section of just chairs they had with no tables. People were using their laptops bent over on their laps or bent over on the bench seat. Not really sure why all these chairs had no tables to go along. There is a section in the front with bar stools, but the counter is WAY too low for the height of the stools they bought, so you pretty much have to bend in half to use your laptop there- and no plugs around.

For me, the biggest frustration was my computer dies quickly after doing some homework, so I asked the barista where the outlets were because I could not find one. He said there are two outlets in the entire cafe- a HUGE design flaw for this place. One of the two was in use, and the other (in the back by a pile of boxes and garbage can) he suggested I could pull a chair up to. I worked with my laptop on my lap here for 20 minutes before I decided to go to Stray Hen cafe, 5 min walk away- TONS of tables and TONS of plugs. I really do hope they are in the process of getting some more tables/outlets somehow because would love to come back for the vibe/coffee, just not the seating/work situation. Also- very friendly staff!! Really appreciate that

First time here to check out the coffee and space...not too many tables...open bench with some chairs available. Lots of space that seems under utilized.

Coconut creme latte was delicious! You could smell the coconut and taste it in every sip...well done! Ordering this again!
$5.75 for 12 oz / $6.25 for 16 oz

Whiskey latte...this tasted like a regular latte, a bit on the sweeter side. No whiskey flavor... it's been boiled down to sugar. Nothing special.

New Orleans iced coffee was super yummy too! Reminded me of a Vietnamese coffee on ice. Also a bit on the sweeter side but in a good way.

Would go back again! Customer service was great! The guy on the register was super patient and helpful in explaining the different drinks. The girl making the drinks was quick and knowledgeable too. Both nice and friendly to customers! 🙂

Most of the baristas here are pretty good. Usually I never wait too long, never get a bad drink.

One legitimate complaint I have is related to the amount of seating. I get that this is meant to be a very clean and simple interior, but for the casual passerby, it can be pretty tough to grab a seat during the afternoon or on the weekend because of so many people sitting and studying.

There is seemingly a good amount of space for additional seating throughout the space, but I could be wrong.

As an introvert, I love their consoles where I can personalize my coffee without explaining to the barista. Their coffee is one of the best I have tasted in town. I like their minimalistic decor as well.

☕️🥥 Coconut latte for the win, friendly service, nice vibe.

The only good thing about their coffee is the variety of milk you can choose, and the soy milk or pistachio milk are good brand.

Staff and baristas are very cold and impersonal. Whenever I asked something, they pretende not to hear or just have me very short and abrupt answers. The store should train the baristas to be more passionate about their work.

I don’t understand why they have such big space but lack napkins or drying paper after hand washing.

Lastly: I understood they are still training barista but the latte art was disapproved…

Cheap and very commercialized pastry

Flat white was decent, staff were efficient. This is renovated from the old espresso royale decor and the coffee is an upgrade, but it’s still a terrible study spot since there’s no outlets and the wifi is almost unusable.
