Zingerman's Coffee Company

The Guatemala roast at Zingerman’s Coffee Company in Ann Arbor presents a distinct interpretation that highlights the roaster's specific philosophy. Their "Big Brew Board" details how different brewing methods are intended to pull varying flavor profiles from the same bean. Brew Method Definitions vs. Reality For this review, the Clever dripper was selected, which the menu defines as "Smooth". While Guatemala is traditionally recognized for a low-acidity profile featuring deep cocoa and nutty notes, Zingerman’s leans into a more modern, "bright" interpretation. When enjoyed black, the "Smooth" designation carries a noticeable fruit-forward presence that aligns with the "Bright" and "Citrus rind" descriptions found elsewhere on their menu board. A Modern Specialty Take The flavor notes listed for other methods further emphasize this house style: * Pour Over: Citrus rind * Press Pot: Milk chocolate, Silky, Underripe, Bright * AeroPress: Tart, Sweet, Tangerine This approach reflects a contemporary specialty coffee culture that views acidity as a positive trait of "brightness" and origin character. However, for those who prefer the traditional, heavier body and muted acidity often

Zingerman's Coffee offers some great drinks and snacks in a comfortable setting. There's a lot of candies for sale just across from the cafe (in the same place), and the staff is very helpful. I tried a drink that was a combination of coke and espresso that turned out to be quite good. Zingerman's continues to be an excellent reason to travel to Ann Arbor.

Hidden Gem outside of downtown Ann Arbor near 94 expressway. Has Decaf Drip ready! Serious coffee options and you can view the roasting. Outstanding place. The atmosphere inside is fun and inviting. A great place to sit with a laptop and get some things done. The bakery is plentiful and taste amazing. I highly recommend this morning coffee institution.

Great coffee shop with wonderful atmosphere, drinks, and service. The wait is usually short, and the service is usually great. We have enjoyed coffees from here dozens of times and the only service issue we ever had was with the staff mistakenly making a decaf latte with fully caffeinated espresso beans. However, this only happened once, and they were happy to remake the drink. There is also a delicious local candy vendor here called J. Patrice, who sells wonderful, gourmet candies, including marzipan, chocolates, and fruit candies.
