Cultivate Coffee & Tap House
street is Cultivate Coffee & TapHouse
- a non-profit organization that works
to showcase Michigan-made coffee
and beer, while raising funds for local
hunger organizations! Cultivate is
housed in an old auto-garage, and
has quickly become the new hot-spot
for meetings, events, and afternoon
getaways with friends.
Book lovers are a part of the equation
when it comes to coffee in Ann Arbor.
Espresso Bar sits atop a delightful
independent bookstore in Downtown
Ann Arbor called Literatti. Find a
unique book by reading the handwritten and detailed staff reviews,
then walk upstairs, order a delicious
latte, and delve into the first chapter
of your new treasure! Just around
the corner is Roos Roast, a boldly
flavored roastery and cafe that prides
itself on their use of ethically sourced
beans. Roos Roast is also home to
Michigan’s only Loring Roaster - which
has a specialized “Flavor Lock Roasting
system,” meaning their coffee
tastes delicious and takes 80%
less energy to produce than
other roasters of its size.
Of course, no food-focused
article about Ann Arbor could
exist without mention of
Zingerman’s. Widely known for
their mountainous sandwiches,
Zingerman’s also dominates the
tastebuds of coffee lovers. With
rotating specials every month,
Zingerman’s calls attention to
its Dirty Sheed which is made
of two shots of espresso, a shot
of Mexican vanilla, ice, and
cream. Coffee purists may scoff
at the sweetness, because the
Mexican vanilla is the true star
of this tasty beverage!
