Love their muffins! Good coffee and speciality drinks. Did I say super ultra fantastic muffins?. Great during winter. Staff is beyond kind and it's always going last mile to make you feel special. Moms can go with their strollers! ADA friendly, there's an elevator to the basement. And, there's a bunch of good board games organized in shelves to spend the time playing with friends.

Fantastic coffee and a wonderful community resource! Such a great place to study. I love to walk here, get a good cup of Joe, and study for a few hours between classes.

This coffee shop quickly became my go to spot this summer on days off work. Very welcoming, great tasting coffee that comes well sized, and just a great spot to sit down for a few hours if you want to read, work, or relax.

Working remotely here was the highlight of my time in Ann Arbor. The reasonable prices, mission-driven vision, student friendly ambiance, and knowledgeable baristas made the experience for me. Common Cup is now one of my favorite coffee shops!

I've been coming to the Common Cup for 4 years+. Of all of the places (I've done graduate school at the U...I've tried all of the coffee shops in town) to study in Ann Arbor I find it the best. Reasons:
- Parking. You can park your car here and not have to pay. This can't be said of any of the other coffee shops located within the city of Ann Arbor.
- Prices: ~2.75 for a bottomless cup. Can't be beat.
- Ambiance: there are rotating art exhibits that are up on the walls that make the space change from month to month. When I have to do some serious studying it is nice to have a place without windows to minimize distractions.
- Internet/Outlets: exceptionally fast. I have never had any issues with connecting. Most tables have access to an outlet so you're able to stay for a while to get work done.
- Quality: Hyperion coffee is served and it is consistently excellent.
- Staff: All incredibly friendly/helpful.
- Hours: It isn't open until as late as some of the other coffee shops, but during the academic year it is open until 10.
All in all I cannot say enough good things. You should stop by!
