- JSJohn SnyderOct 17, 20255.0Can't go wrong. Great place
- ZAZAHER AZZAWIJul 20, 20255.0Alycia is a great helping with smile when I visited my daughter at her school in Ann Arbor, MI.
- RRriskyrainJun 26, 20254.0This place single-handedly got me through my undergrad at UMICH. Best addition they have added by far. Food is fire, atmosphere is phenomenal, and people are chill. Anytime of day you come here it's really good. The only complaint I have is that the spinach feta pretzel melt (my fav) is WAY too expensive, I could get a burger meal for that price. Otherwise Central campus is the best, I love this place.
- TWTiffanie WaldronJun 8, 20255.0Great service! Clean, friendly, and delicious drinks. Will return and recommend to others. Lois was polite and courteous with her customer service!
- ESElif SaglikJun 6, 20254.0The barista was amazing! She was super kind, welcoming, and my coffee was pretty good! I ordered an iced vanilla late - it wasn’t the best I’ve had but it was still pretty good! The atmosphere was welcoming and perfect for studying/cozy vibes. Definitely recommend!
