Vertex Coffee Roasters

Hit or miss. I had my first coffee there many weeks ago and would give it a big thumbs up, which is why I went back for a second time and that time, a thumbs down. First coffee was hot and rich and tasty (a decaf cappuccino) the second a pumpkin latte which sounded divine on the menu but lacked flavour and it was lukewarm.

VERY impressed with the consistency and quality of this little shop. I stayed right down the road this summer and was so grateful to have a place to get a quality cup of coffee. Their beans are also top notch and rival some of the other big dogs in Michigan.

Vertex has great coffee but more importantly, their staff is super friendly and helpful and they really try to be as environmentally friendly as possible. At Vertex there is also a neighborhood library box and lots of magazines/games that you can use while you're sitting! Overall a great shop. The quality of the coffee and the people keep me coming back.

This place has been on my list for awhile and I finally made it over before they closed! I got a simple iced latte that met expectations.

I also wanted to buy beans, but unfortunately they were sold out; I was told they roast on Mondays and it's best to order online. However, I asked the barista for a recommendation between two beans and was told I should just read the descriptions and decide which one suits me best. It's decent advice but I was hoping for an opinion or something to help me make a decision.

Overall, unless this place is convenient for you to get to, I can't see making a special trip here just to buy coffee. While their prepared coffee is okay, if you're looking to buy beans, it's best to do that online & the baristas may or may not be able to help you with any recommendations.

Skilled and friendly baristas, quality, well-sourced coffee, and a bright, comfortable space that's well-suited for both studying and conversing with friends. Vertex is a welcome addition to the Ann Arbor coffee community!

(Also very thankful to have finally found a local coffee shop capable of making a great Aussie-style flat white!)

Solid drinks, solid atmosphere, friendly staff. I like how they decorated the space and really appreciate their focus on environmental sustainability. I ordered the sweetie flight: mocha, spiced mocha, and a miel. The miel was my favorite! The mochas were a bit light on chocolate, but they are still getting the ratios down for the smaller size drink. You also pay for each drink individually, which was not immediately clear from the wording on the menu. A good experience all around; I will return!

Best coffee in Ann Arbor— lattes are perfect, espresso is perfect. It doesn’t get better than this. Paired with a warm and welcoming staff, Vertex brings community back into the coffee shop environment.

Fabulous coffee!
Helpful staff!
Delicious baked goods!

A great place to sit for a couple of hours and focus and get work done. A welcome addition to the Ann Arbor coffee scene.

Such a wonderful little coffee shop with perfect outdoor seating when the weather is nice. The seasonal/special lattes help make this my favorite coffee shop in the area.

I'm so happy I found this little place! It's adorable and the coffee is lovely. The people are kind and they have a perfect little outdoor seating area with a little library.
