lab cafe

One of my favorite coffee shops in Ann Arbor! They have the best and most unique selection of drinks and always have yummy pastries. I really want to try their fun latte variations like butterfly pea flower, ube, and jasmine because everything I've had from here has been amazing so I know that these would be amazing too. Lab's ambiance is also great. Super cozy, delicate, and cute with friendly baristas. It's a perfect spot for meeting up with someone or doing homework.

First time here and tried a latte with no coffee based upon their recommendation. Loved it. Beetroot and Ginger. Just sweet enough and flavorful. I should have grabbed a dessert as well. Some seating available. Nice spot to grab a unique cup.

This might be my favorite coffee place in ann arbor. The coffee is good, I like the planty environment which makes the place feel both open and cozy. The music is pleasant without being too distracting. The perfect environment for studying really.

Cute and aesthetically pleasing to the re-purposed, cozy-industrial eye; It is clean, light, and soft. Not loud like some say. Just like anywhere else, the staff is hit or miss. The last time I went in it was good customer service, as for other times, though, they were a big miss.
For example I asked for a coffee to go, I was waiting for my other company and decided to sit inside (only about three people inside as well), only to be glowered at the entire time waiting. Not even there for five minutes.
The food is always an experience and I would recommend the mint-lemonade for a first timer. The coffee is rich and heavy, wonderful for winter weathers of Michigan. And the cold drinks are wonderful for any summer heat. Would go again for more experimental cups of flavor.

A great place to bring your laptop and get some work done. Every member of the staff that I've interacted with has been super friendly, and the vibe is really great!

Would have been 5/5 but the woman who made my drink was rude to me. She didn’t do latte art which come on we all love that. Didn’t pay $7 for a sloppy latte. The buttery flower latte with oat milk was very DELICIOUS! I would go back but she gave me such bad vibes I couldn’t even enjoy the drink there like I had asked. Cookie was divine! Service was not good with the two girls who were working it made the experience bad though. 😔

One of the photos shows the large versus the small cappuccino. The milk was scalded. Nice space, open. Pastries on counter. Music good for working if you don't need to chat.

Today was my first time at lab cafe, and thought the drink menu looked really diverse and interesting...I opted for the ube coconut latte, and it was AMAZING. The reason I gave four stars was the medium seemed a bit small, especially in comparison to what appeared to be the large option (my glass looked about half the size of what others had that I assumed were larges). So I will definitely be back and will go for a large next time.

no matter what you order here it's going to disappoint. then a year later you decide to give it another chance and it's just as bad... then another year passes and yet again you get a drink that tastes bad. I suppose it's become an autumn ritual for me
still, they have a lovely selection of small artisanal pieces like stickers and lip balms that are nicely curated.

Do not miss out on their honey lavender latte! They also have a tasty selection of gluten free treats....the almond joy bar was devine
