The best coffee I've ever had anywhere. So spoiled to have them just down the road. Small batch, ethically-sourced coffee roasted and brewed in a completely unpretentious environment. I remember the first time my wife and I visited the barista asked if we'd like to share a Chemex. Having no idea what that was, we both said "a what?". He patiently walked us through the whole pour-over brewing process, explaining what each step did proudly. The flavor profiles on some of the beans are really unique, prices are reasonable. Hyperion has really set my wife and I on a journey to brew better coffee and for that we're thankful.

Hyperion has the best coffee ever! I get their mocha, not too sweet and, in the summer, their cold Nitro. And always with a biscotti or cookie. Love the staff and love the nice places to sit outside.

These guys have some of if not the best beans in town, and some of the most competitive prices, not only on beans but on specialty drinks and home brew equipment as well. A great place to stock your kitchen for hoke brewing, or get tasting notes from baristas on the roasts they have for a sale.
The baristas are all very knowledgeable about the roasts and make great recommendations. They keep early hours so you'll want to come in on your days off, your lunch break or weekends. A great supplier for coffee lovers on a budget who love an exceptional roast in house or at home.

Favorite coffee in Ypsilanti. Great service and 2 locations to enjoy! Both are lovely spaces in Ypsi and Ann Arbor to work in and enjoy.

I ordered coffee online. The descriptions of the flavor profiles were accurate, coffee was fresh, and the delivery arrived very quickly. I will likely order from them again.

Hyperion is a really nice coffee spot in Ypsi.
The vibe inside really suits the young crowd in Ypsilanti, and the location in the main stretch of town is great! There are a number of parking spots in the lot near the building, as well as the street parking on the main road if that's your bag as well.
Inside, you'll find a small menu, and that really streamlines the ordering process. The coffee is solid, and if you have any questions about any options/ items on the menu, the staff is happy to help!
Outside of ordering, you'll notice that seating inside the shop is very limited. There's one large communal table and a few seats along the sides of the building inside. There are some outdoor options as well, but in the winter especially, it can be "packed" (no empty seats) during what would normally be considered non-peak times.
It's also common to find that most people are on their own, working inside the shop... certainly not a problem -- unless you're trying to meet someone for coffee & to catch up. I found that it's a nice place to go and spend time, but I probably wouldn't schedule another coffee date there -- it's too much of a possibility that it'll be very quiet inside and that you'll be the only ones talking (I may or many not have be speaking from personal experience).
Overall a great coffee shop ! (just don't set up coffee dates there :) )

Have some serious dissonance about this place. I've been here 5 or 6 times over the last couple weeks and have never felt particularly welcomed. I would not consider this a welcoming place for people of color.
Re: their coffee—their coffee is easily the best in the 734 region (Hence the 2 stars). Nonetheless, they have lost my business.

I was tired of highly rated but TRASH decaf whole bean roasted coffee from Amazon. Came here and tried it in an americano and in a latte. Both were good. Bought the beans for French pressing and I am SO impressed. No chemical taste. Low acidity. Wonderful nutty flavor. Absolutely STUNNING. Will be getting all beans from here from now on.

Delicious beverages. Haven't eaten anything there. Sweet Staff. Awesome environment and location.

Unknowledgeable about their own coffee beans, unfortunately that's why we were there & we purchased 5 bags. They had all the time in the world for their friends but not for real customers & service, even making us wait to finish their personal conversation then becoming visibly irritated when we asked questions. I may even agree with the review that mentioned them not being welcoming to people of color/different cultures after this experience.
We also ordered 2 drinks with oat milk & received 1 drink with whole milk which was met with confusion when we informed them it wasn't oak milk & asked where the 2nd drink was. We have dairy sensitivities & found the mistake by taking a big swig of whole miIk.
We heard good things about this place but based of this experience we wont be back.
