Pete A.January 24, 2017Want something a bit different? Try the Imperial Milk Tea. Not feeling adventurous? No problem, their traditional tea & coffee drinks are really great too!
Four locations around Ann Arbor, Favorite one is here at Washington & Ashley. Grab a specialty coffee or an iced cold brew and hang out.
Erich BrubakerAugust 28, 2014Cold-brewed coffee, dirty (coffee, cream, & chocolate): perfect blend of sweet/strong/creamy/refreshing.
John (aka “PHATFoodFan”)March 27, 2014There's two sections, go to the quiet section to get work done/read or stay in the normal section when meeting someone to chat...even the background music on the quiet side is dimmed.
Quality of your drink (usually coffee) sometimes depends on who is behind the counter. However, the iced drinks are mostly pre-made and a safe bet, especially in summer.
MichelleJuly 20, 2015I've got a sweet spot for this place cuz I have a bunch of meetings here. The coffee is great, though the food is a bit overpriced. Very worth trying.
get an Afternoon Delight muffin! local, healthy(ish), and delicious.
Matthew ContoMarch 16, 2015The WiFi can be sluggish and it can get crowded during parties, but the milkshakes are quite good.- Tracy CongdonFebruary 8, 2012Do you do business in and around Ann Arbor?

I wrote many an AnnArbor.com article here as well as the entirety of Mallwalkers. Sit in back near the windows on the Ashley side.
RossAugust 3, 2011Use your Downtown GoPass and save 10% off any one drink, Kerrytown and Washington/Ashley locations (excluding retail items).
Vickie ElmerMarch 16, 2011The courtyard just outside is delightful on a sunny afternoon - and the WiFi just about reaches there.- XSeptember 26, 2012Plenty of outlets but the free Wi-Fi is frustratingly flaky. The wifi password is: gingerlemon
The new cinnamon caramel drink isn't as sickeningly-sweet as I expected--it's just right, even for coffee lovers.- Vickie ElmerMarch 23, 2010Great photos on almost every wall. And the view out of the windows makes me want to give up on work and just savor the moment. Really dig this place. Read more
This would be the last time I give them a try to make a dry cappuccino. Sad how coffee shops don't get the most key ingredient - learn how to make the espressos. It was terrible and I rarely complain.
Buy a $25 gift card and get a free beverage. I use mine every day and refill when I run low.
Canolia Cup cakes. Very good premium teas. Wonderful staff.
- A snickerdoodle cookie is the perfect afternoon snack.
- Bring your own mug for a refill discount (or use your "Go Card" if you have one.
