my favorite coffee shop in all of Washtenaw. They make top notch lattes and really care about the quality of their coffee. Pastries are also delicious, staff is super friendly, and the vibe is great for a breakfast conversation or to get some work done
**A Cozy Haven in Ypsilanti - Cafe Liv** I recently had the pleasure of visiting Cafe Liv in Ypsilanti, Michigan, and I can confidently say it's a must-visit, even though I'm not a coffee drinker myself. The owner's incredible warmth and friendliness make you feel right at home the instant you walk in. While I've heard nothing but praise for …
The first time I came to check out Cafè Liv was on a weekend and they were so busy there was no street parking and from the outside, it didn't look like there were any available tables. I was a little bummed but also more excited to try them out since it looked like so many people love this place. …
Love the vibe. Bright and area with plenty of seating options. They offer pastries and include gluten free options which is great. The customer service was great. I had a lavender latte for the first time. It was absolutely delicious. My only critique is the coffee be a bit warmer. Other than that, it was wonderful. I’ll be back!
It’s my first time here, the barista recommended me a Madeleine latte. It was so good. Cute place. Definitely will be back.
One of the best spots for coffee in the Ypsi / Ann Arbor area. A converted mechanic’s garage, they have left a few remnants as decoration, which adds a cool touch to the ambience. The window garage doors means the entire main wall lets in natural light. Fresh local pastries round out great coffee and wonderful specialty drinks - the …
This is the kindness needed first thing in the morning and it’s daily here! I forgot my punch card today and this awesome human/employee made sure I got my punch. I go in there with curlers in my hair, paying in quarters and they may be even extra kind on those days. The food is outstanding, the menu for drinks …
Love the lattes! I've tried the seasonal maple latte and chai latte (both with non dairy milk since I'm lactose intolerant) and been very pleased with this coffee shop. One of my favorite coffee shops for working. Lots of tables that seat parties of 1-2, strong wifi, lots of outlets to plug in. They also offer restrooms to customers, a …
Outstanding service always, plus fun in- & outdoor ambiance: community table, comfy MCM armchairs, substantial wooden tables, church pew bench & also upholstered bench -- a seat for everyone. Pastries from one of our four local bakeries + great coffees and many tea choices. Coffee refills won my heart. Could only wish for cinnamon rolls on the regular. Love this …
Cute and quaint little coffee shop in Ypsi and I love it. I did try the Madeline and it was very good. I can't wait to try more. The barista was super nice and I loved they had a microwave to heat up my muffin. I sat outside at the table without an umbrella and got some great sunlight. I …
