Black Diesel Coffee

Very good coffee and friendly staff.

The first impression was very good, the ambience is very welcoming and staff is even better.

The pour over coffee was made with clear interest to serve the best coffee and to serve the experience with us.
The menu is kept simple and yet covers a vast variety of coffee.

The food options are limited but that was expected for this being a dedicated coffee Cafe. However the time of day might also matter when it comes to food. We went in the evening; I am pretty sure Am time will have better food choices.

The seating area is very good. There are a few chairs for the bar style seating too, where you can enjoy the view of coffee making.

Cheers to this place and will certainly come back.

The best chai bomb (Dirty Chai Latte) in Ann Arbor! I love this little gem of a coffee shop, not only for its amazing coffee but also the atmosphere. This is certainly one of my favorite places to grab a handcrafted drink then sit and get some work done either inside in the quaint and cozy cafe area, or outside on their spacious patio. They even have a loyalty club, and for my birthday I got a free reward! Another unique thing about this spot is they have kombucha on tap, which is rare to find these days especially at a coffee shop! I love it here. ☕️

Wonderful blue foam coffee. The ginger flavored cone was unique and delicious....never had before.

However did not give full points on the service ...because the barista went away chatting with another person while I stood there waiting for my order. Everyone else was served. Since nothing was mentioned on why mine took so long . .I have to call it out.

Great place to have some nice coffee and relaxed vibe in the morning. I come here several times for my favorite breakfast its a Turkey Panini I got to say this got me hook! 🍞🥐☕️ I will keep come back to check out other menu as well 😸 but overall this place is great and chill~

Ps. My drink in the pictures is “Earth day matcha Latte” 🌎🍃 I’m not sure if this will be seasonal drink or all time but you should try if you like matcha

The coffee is great 😊 However, my partner and I were looking for a bite to eat after a long day of travel. We both ordered paninis. They were tasty but very small in portion and way way overpriced for their value. I would not recommend getting food from them.

Nicely located ( intersection of e stadium blvd and packard ) coffee shop with great outdoor space. Had a tasty honeybee latte( $5.12) and they serve waffles in the morning. Also they have a collection of few small plants for sale.

Obscene price for the coconut drink. I was visiting from New York and paid 8 dollars for an iced drink. It wasn’t tasty at all so I asked for a regular iced latte. They took the drink back and made me pay for a new drink. The iced latte tasted really bitter and watered down. My husbands regular hot latte was okay. Not going there again.

$3.75 for a 12 oz black coffee from a carafe?

I'm not sold. It's easily the most expensive non-pour-over brewed coffee I've had in Washtenaw County. You should be way more upfront about why what you're serving is special. Like, $2 of that better have gone to a farmer in Ethiopia.

It tastes fine, but not $0.33 an ounce fine.

Edit: First, I said your coffee tasted fine. The negatives in my review were about price and your business's story telling. Maybe if you, oh, I dunno, had prices on your menu I wouldn't have been so put off. I'm giving you a customer perspective.

That said, I literally have a spreadsheet of coffee prices in Ann Arbor. I'd share it with you, but I'm not running your coffee business for you. Here's one piece of data: the next highest price I've paid for a cup of drip coffee is $3.50 for a 20oz at Ann Arbor Roasting Company. Are you telling me that every high quality coffee shop in A2 isn't making money selling coffee? I'll even give the benefit of the doubt that black coffee is a loss leader. But then you are leading with the lowest loss I've seen around.

Your business is failing at telling the story of your coffee... even on your website. That story is part of being "third wave" lol. If you aren't making money on coffee maybe you should move your business somewhere with lower rent or chose a different business model.

As it stands, I'd say you're a just profiteer of the New Ann Arbor™

Beautiful lattes and the most knowledgeable coffee baristas and roasters!

I love going to Black Diesel, the staff is always super friendly, and clearly knowledgeable about their products. They always have some sort of tasty seasonal drinks, and I love that they have a little plant shelf to buy new plants from!
