Comet Coffee

Jim Saborio, the shop's owner specializes in high end, made to order coffee. Nothing is prepared ahead of time, so the drinks are freshly brewed using a variety of methods. There is a small amount of seating inside (about 8-10 chairs) and a couple of small tables outside in the arcade.

I go here every day and get a macchiato with sparkling water. Fast. Well-priced. I come, think, sip my coffee , then get back to work on my thesis. Great place!

Eric Wortman

A small and cozy place. The line can get long but usually the coffee is worth it. Great pour overs and espresso .

Aaron Cruz

Grab a pour over and hang out within the architectural marvel that is Nickels Arcade . No electrical outlets , so not ideal for work, but no reason too, just enjoy the scenery and coffee ! :)

Ashkan Kazemi

Friendly , small and cosy. The quality of their coffee is good, but you don't wanna try their hot chocolate , it's basically syrup and hot water. They also don't allow laptops on some of their tables.

Nathan Francis

Hands down the best coffee in Ann Arbor (in Michigan? in the Midwest?). Instead of ordering an Americano , take a look at the awesome pour-over menu! Basically anything Comet makes is amazing.

Jason Touleyrou

Probably the best coffee shop I've ever been to. Folks were super nice and had a great assortment of the best roasted coffees from around the country !

Satish

Amazingly perfect every time cappuccinos ! Compared to every single one I have had so far all over the country . Dig the location in the arcade too.

Andrew Inman

Ask the baristias if you're not sure what to get. Amazing capacunios and espresso . If you want a serious dose of caffine the iced drip coffee is just the thing.

Kevin Yien

Great espresso and cappuccino . Cozy spot for a quick drink. Not a place to work out of for a long time.

Catherine

Tad bit pricey but the lattes and cappuccinos are worth it. Free flat or sparkling water are included in your order.

Ryan Stenson

The wifi password is the phone number posted on the exit sign above the door

This is the place to get coffee if you're a coffee elitist. Every cup is brewed to order, and the blends are exquisite.

Michelle

They have one of the best cappuccinos in Ann Arbor. The space is tiny, so I wouldn't come here for a guaranteed work space. Maybe if you're lucky..?

Ghostly International

Coffee , sourced for quality from some of the best roasters around the world, this place is where to go for a brillant cup of pour-over or cappuccino .

Ben Lowery

Espresso , cappuccino , pour over , 49th parallel and ritual coffee

Dara Fisher

If you like bougie, well-made coffee , this is the place for you! Not cheap , but super well made.

Kristin Martin

Go for the syphon method....it's worth it. And while you're at it, get yourself a chocolate crossiant.

Brian Talpos

If you're getting more than one coffee , try the same blend using a different brewing method. The difference in taste and mouth feel is crazy.

Kevin Keehl

The service is great and the espresso is tops.

There's not much space inside so we took our coffee to one of the tables in the arcade . Even on a chilly day, it was pretty pleasant. Sure, we had to leave our coats on but the coffee was pipin' hot.

Ritual rosters beans, so hip .
