Ann Arbor Coffee Roasting Company

Decently clean, serviceable coffee, BUT poor seating layout and almost no outlets in the whole shop.

I’m visiting from out of town and I like to support local coffee shops, but this place makes me wish I’d visited the Starbucks nearby instead. Not a good place to get work done.

The Mocha has Chantilly creme it was fantastic! New Orleans coffee added a little extra milk also stellar. Will definitely come back and try the food!

Pros:
The baristas are nice and the batch brew is better than Starbucks.

Cons:
You can’t tell where the line is supposed to start.

The baristas don’t know much about the coffee they serve. This is on management, not the baristas. Just wanting to know where on the world the coffee is from and how it’s processed. Should be part of the training to be able to answer those kinds of questions, especially at the price point.

The price point. For espresso and espresso based drinks, it’s overpriced. I’m not some curmudgeon used to unlimited pots at diners. I’ve worked in specialty coffee for a number of years. I believe in paying for good coffee. 3.75 for an espresso (a roasty blend) is not standard. I’d pay that much if it was really great. But it’s not really great. It’s an average espresso blend.

I don’t like leaving reviews. Especially not negative ones, but I really care about coffee and this place is kind of wack. Worse than wack, it’s a little criminal to ask this much for espresso drinks for they give you and how they train their staff.

They. Are really nice, I was up here for my model un conference and they just make my day

Cool vibes. Good coffee. Friendly staff. One of the workers opened the door to go in the kitchen (?) and the person back there making something was looking like he was enjoying himself while mixing something and vibing to his music. The smell of whatever came out the oven while I was sitting in the back was amazing and made my mouth water!

I've been going here often after it opened. The service is okay, coffee is good but don't order any baked goods here. There were like 10 fruit flies flying and crawling on top of the baked goods when I went there to get a scone.
You guys should really do something about it. I have been eating there for twice a week and I regret ordering anything there.

Coffee was good, but I wish they had hours like Espresso Royals had. This is the perfect late night spot, and was honestly often busier at night than it was during the day sometimes. Espresso Royale was the only downtown coffee shop open late (after 7pm) to cater to students up studying late. I wish Ann Arbor Coffee Roasting Company would capitalize on that open market and stay open late too.

I really wanted to run out with one of their kettles. I got a bag of their decaf coffee beans. They’re okay

Service was unacceptably rude due to no reason on my end. They came in with a huge attitude stank face as if a customer coming in to order is an issue for them. Slammed the cup on the counter. It was awful. Moving onto my drink. Absolutely atrocious, ordered Matcha latte. Received a cup of straight up green foam…. No latte in sight. I wanted it replaced but they were so mean and rude I left. What an absolute WASTE of 5 dollars and my time during my first visit to Ann Arbor. That was my first interaction in this city of the day. Let me tell yall its not a good look. I see im not the only one who experienced terrible service here. I would avoid this place wholeheartedly

Great latte! I travel around Michigan and find joy when I discover a coffee shop that understand the art and science behind coffee.
Out of the hundreds of coffee shops I have visited in Michigan this place is in the top 10 in my opinion.
