“ Friendly staff, quality drinks, fun atmosphere! It isn't a trip to Ann Arbor without stopping in at RoosRoast! Their coffee doesn't disappoint and is good quality. I appreciate the welcoming staff as well as their ability to accommodate peanut and tree nut allergies - (i.e. needing to avoid almond milk & hazelnut) by making my drink safely. The line moves quickly & while noisy, isn't anything unexpected from a campus coffee shop. I definitely will be returning to Roos!! ”
“ Roos is the best coffee I've ever had outside of Kona on the Big Island. I hate these trendy, hip little spots, BUT this one is hot for a reason. If Roos was in Manhattan there would be a line down the block. If you have never tried the Lobster Butter Love you haven't tried coffee. I highly, highly recommend trying it. It is so good. It really will ruin you for anything else. Hyperion nor Zingermans can not come close. I usually don't compare using names, but that's how much I want you to try it. Lobster Butter is a game changer, and every real coffee lover will agree. The service is also top notch real friendly not this fake happy. I can't say enough good about it TRY IT !!!! ”
“ The Perfect Cappuccino!! Very cool place to grab a coffee, fresh pastry, or even a breakfast burrito. Service was super fast and friendly. The place had a few spots to sit and have a coffee or stare out the window and do a little people watching. It had a very relaxing vibe. The walls are covered with unique art/murals. Warning, parking was a little tight and not a ton of seating. Sorry I didn't take any pics... I'll add some on my next trip. I would 100% recommend. ”
“ The best all around hometown coffee spot in town! I ordered the Matcha Latte today. Creamy rush (green!) constitution didn't disappoint. Although there was a line when I arrived, it moved quickly and I didn't mind the wait in this funky warm environment with authentic community vibes. The sales person - reminded me I was holding my loyalty card when she asked if I wanted it stamped. Thank God! Ran into my friends daughter, Alexis, whose youthful effervescent sunny disposition matches the overall sentiment of other employees I've encountered here. A great visit - as always ! ”
“ I really want to love RoosRoast and the lattes are very tasty, but I've been to two (both?) locations in the last year and have experienced subpar customer service both times. I felt as though I was inconveniencing the person at the cash register even though there wasn't anyone else in line. I'm assuming it was an off day because most of the other reviews say the customer service is great... ”
“ Fabulous coffee , pastries, breakfast burritos and whole beans for purchase! My latte with 2% milk was smooth perfection. My cherry scone-(phenomenal. I bought a cute mug attesting to my being a bad a.b. And a 6 pk sampler box of their coffee beans. Large area of picnic tables and a sweet flower garden was the icing on the cake ! Just GO-you won't regret it!!! (Ps- outstanding service too) ”
“ I visited this little coffee shop per the recommendation of a random IG post, and it was such a treat! The shop itself is on the smaller side and offers a limited amount breakfast items to accompany your coffee (think donuts, muffins, bagels) but boy they sure are scrumptious. I ordered the bagel which was delicious. The bagel was warm, flavorful and absolutely everything a great bagel should be (trust this born and raised NYC foodie). The donut too was like something I've never experience before. The coffee was next level!! I ordered the Lobster Butter Love, a Sumatra-based blend that has a smooth, creamy body with low acidity and nutty after tones. It's super drinkable and by far, the best coffee I've ever had. I would easily become addicted if I had one locally. Best of all, the pricing was reasonable and the service was quick and with a smile. RoosRoast cafe has seating available indoors and a large outdoor patio to accommodate plenty of people. They have the original register from their first store on display and lots of cool merch!! When in Ann Arbor, add this spot to your list of places to visit. You won't be disappointed!! ”
“ Now this is what coffee should always taste like. I was told the honey vanilla latte was their most popular drink and it did not disappoint. It wasn't too sweet and I tasted both the honey and the vanilla but still knew I was drinking coffee. It's a very hipster spot, but hipsters seem to make amazing coffee so carry on, please. The service was attentive and fast, and they seemed to have an awesome system in place to keep it moving smooth. The place just looked cool and made you wanna sit down for a little bit. I'm not in Ann Arbor very often, but when I'm back I will definitely stop by again. ”
“ First of all I recently realized there are two places in Ann Arbor! This one was good parking and great outdoor spot to study or read! Coffee: Let's get real here - RoosRoast knows their beans. Like, they're on a whole other level of coffee. And don't even get me started on their signature Lobster Butter!! So good and great gift Service: The crew at RoosRoast? They are very friendly and they give samples if they have a fresh batch ready. I like the cute card stock in the front! They will package gift items and if you need the beans grinded they offer that service! Ambience: Step into RoosRoast, and you'll instantly feel those cozy coffee shop vibes. It's like your favorite neighborhood hangout, but with way better coffee. Whether you're posted up with your laptop or catching up with friends, the chill atmosphere here is top-notch. ”
