Quiet
This is my go-to coffee place. Nice people, good drinks.
Standard café.
Nice quiet relaxing atmosphere to enjoy a cup of coffee at
My favorite coffee shop! Good coffee, and the best frozen coffee in town. Good atmosphere for meeting a friend or to spend a couple of hours working for a chance of scenery.
Reasons
Chill and decent coffee
$2 Wednesday yup
Iced tea tasted horrible
Friendly. Good vibe. Great coffee. Works for getting a quick coffee drink or to hang out.
Cozy shop with a nice atmosphere and great tea selection.
Was not disappointed; the Ginger Dragon tea was superb, the atmosphere is cozy and has distinct character, and friendly faces behind the counter. Can be a bit difficult to locate without help, but worth looking into.
It's a nice quiet place. I like the location.
It's cozy, the staff are all friendly and the drinks are good.
Good espresso. Hasn't been cleaned in a decade.
Coffee isn't the best but size wise probably the best value you can find downtown. I recommend this place for the space and seating. If you are going to meet up with someone or have a meeting downtown then this is definitely the place to go. Prepare yourself for completely random genres of music though.
Visited Ann Arbor a few weeks ago from London. Great city btw! We decided to go to Espresso Royale for a quick coffee. We were a rather large group and ordered a few types of coffees. I'm afraid they were on the mediocre side or badly done at this moment in particular. The worst part was the service: extremely rude guy (mid or late 20's, dark blonde hair, I think with glasses) "helped" us. He tossed the drinks all together and didn't want to tell us which one was which. Then, he just made it up! We asked for whipped cream and pointed bluntly to a nearby self service table to realize that was cream, not whipped cream. Then , we asked for whipped cream again and he put it on with disdain... His attitude for the whole experience was pretty unbelievable :-D Avoid! If they have that type of workers, something has to be wrong there.
they train their staff well. well made coffee and better than sbux
Incredible coffee, service leaves a bit to be desired.
I'm a big fan of this Espresso Royale. Good selection and friendly staff as well as a very cozy environment. There's a number of couches and tables that make working / studying here a great option.
