Blocked off seating, making it slightly less inviting. Nice green plants inside. One one drip/pour over coffee available. Kind staff. Great quality product. Standard higher coffee shop prices. Lot of gay propaganda items- also standard for coffee shops. Quick visit from people paranoid about covid. Overall, okay place.

Do not miss out on their honey lavender latte! They also have a tasty selection of gluten free treats....the almond joy bar was devine

Good coffee with quick service. Also their peanut butter chocolate oat bars are super good and a make for a great snack while walking to class. Havent had a chance to sit down inside but they are normally full of folks having a good time when I pass through.

Lab coffee was fantastic. I got a latte and it was delicious. I’d def Come back here. Very good coffee

Oooh I love this place!! So so visually appealing. Totally aesthetic. It makes for a lovely wonderful visit. The coffee is one of a kind and always delectable.

Cute and aesthetically pleasing to the re-purposed, cozy-industrial eye; It is clean, light, and soft. Not loud like some say. Just like anywhere else, the staff is hit or miss. The last time I went in it was good customer service, as for other times, though, they were a big miss.For example I asked for a coffee to go, I was waiting for my other company and decided to sit inside (only about three people inside as well), only to be glowered at the entire time waiting. Not even there for five minutes.The food is always an experience and I would recommend the mint-lemonade for a first timer. The coffee is rich and heavy, wonderful for winter weathers of Michigan. And the cold drinks are wonderful for any summer heat. Would go again for more experimental cups of flavor.

I thought that Vertex was best cup of coffee I would have in Ann Arbor, but tried the pour over at Lab on the same day and it was just as good! So many phenomenal coffee options in this town!

Delicious coffee (I recommend the New Orleans!) and a very trendy and comfortable atmosphere. The staff are so friendly, and its close to a parking garage with plenty of shopping/restaurants within walking distance. Definitely recommend!

Loooovely little coffee shop. Support local businesses, it is literally a 2 minute walk from the Starbucks and has higher quality, better tasting, and is MUCH cheaper as well! Need a recommendation? The Lavender Mocha.

Cute coffee shop.delicious snacks and friendly staff. Great place to study/relax.

One of the photos shows the large versus the small cappuccino. The milk was scalded. Nice space, open. Pastries on counter. Music good for working if you dont need to chat.

First coffee experience in Ann Arbor and it was great. I could feel the cashiers empathetic heart and the person making the coffee gave her suggestion to help me get exactly what I wanted! Thank you! And go GREEN!

I had hands down the best latte ive ever had here yesterday. going back today to get it again, brown sugar, sea salt latte with oat milk. highly recommend.

Always some of the best coffee in town.

Would have been 5/5 but the woman who made my drink was rude to me. She didn’t do latte art which come on we all love that. Didn’t pay $7 for a sloppy latte. The buttery flower latte with oat milk was very DELICIOUS! I would go back but she gave me such bad vibes I couldn’t even enjoy the drink there like I had asked. Cookie was divine! Service was not good with the two girls who were working it made the experience bad though. 😔

This coffee takes coronavirus very seriously. Only one person can come inside and order and others have to wait outside, but not for long. We had the brown sugar latte and it was really good. They also have cute desserts as well. The quality was great of the coffee and the coffee shop in general is cute as well. Don’t forget to wear your mask!

Solid drinks, good oat milk, nice baristas. They sometimes get crazy busy and itll take quite a long time to get your drink, so dont expect it to always be fast (like one sometimes can expect at chain cafes).

Put my things down at a table and grabbed my wallet to go inside and order a drink. before i reached the door a worker came to tell me i had to pick up my things and leave because the group before me wanted my table. after clarifying that i was on my way to order a drink and was just putting my things down to secure a table she told me it didn’t matter if i bought something and i would have to give the table up. really disappointed in my treatment and will be telling all of my friends, especially other people of color, to avoid lab

Pretty chilled out cafe. I ordered latte and Oreo Brownie...I loved it.

Come to lab for a phenomenal cup of pour over coffee or a really unique and delicious flavored latte! lab also has a great selection of rotating roasts and a huge variety of pastries (the smores bars and the rice krispie treats are my favorites). During cider season try the hot apple cider with caramel and cinnamon.

You can really taste the lavender in the Lavender & Honey Latte! They have a cozy interior but it can be hard to get a seat.

This place makes good coffee that caters to college students and townies. Please come here instead of Starbucks to support local businesses! I would recommend their vanilla rose or lavender lattes because Ive never had prominant floral flavors in my coffee before and its my go to order. Great place to hang out too.

Excellent cafe, very tastefully decorated, great coffee and pastry selections!

Id been looking for a good matcha latte all over Ann Arbor and Lab delivered!

Best Pour over in town. Hands down

Friendly staff! Good atmosphere and good coffee

Had an extra shot latté. It was great but would expect more on the aroma.

Pretty good. I had a pumpkin spice latte and it was okay, not as good as the Starbucks. The hot Apple Cider was amazing, and the iced pumpkin spice was also really good. I like that there are a variety of milk options as well as other add-ins, such as caramel apple butter which we added to the apple cider. The one thing I didnt like was how they have the payment set up. I understand that with COVID they have the barrier, but if you pay with card that practically make you tip because they just ask how much you would like to tip, not if you want to, and they show the payment screen with the options. I normally tip my baristas, but it feels like an obligation this way instead of an option and I wish they would let you pick the tip like the Sweetwaters across the street does.

Their honey lavender latte is so good!

What kind of coffee shop isnt open in the morning

Super chill vibes here and extra tasty beverages.

Brown sugar sea salt was fantastic

A couple of us stopped in late morning to get a coffees to go. The place was almost empty so it was surprising that when we walked in, we werent greeted. I said, Good morning, and when neither of the women behind the counter looked up, I asked, How are you doing? One of them finally raised her head but never responded. The other never made eye contact the entire time we stood there. We didnt see a drink menu so went with the default - a couple cups of house coffee. We were told that because it was pour-over only, it would be a few minutes and she would bring them out when done. We sat at the long, tall table right in front and waited.I didnt particularly care for the décor as it was rather cold and uninviting but it was very clean and the music overhead wasnt distracting. I see from other reviews that they carry a good selection of pastries but we only saw a couple items.It was close to 10 minutes when we heard her holler over to us in a rather irritated tone: TWO HOUSE COFFEES! So I guess she wasnt going to bring them over after all. Not that I minded but when you are told otherwise, you expect otherwise.I hate to tear into a small business because I understand the commitment it takes and in support, I always try to shop local. Unfortunately the poor service and unwelcoming atmosphere puts the kibosh on this one. Perhaps it would be a good practice to step out from behind the counter and speak to the those who have chosen your establishment over the numerous coffee shops in A2. It doesnt cost anything to be friendly your customers and tends to help grow your business.

I was waiting for dinner at another restaurant and passed their chalkboard sign advertising their Brown Sugar & Sea Salt latte. I returned after dinner and was not disappointed! I could taste both flavors subtly, and it was a very tasty latte!There was ample seating inside, and I spotted a few extension cords if youre planning to stay. Theres no wall menu typical of most coffee places, and I couldnt really find one. Also, theres no actual sign outside indicating the name, so its a bit difficult to find if youre not looking closely.

I got the salmon and tuna poke bowl. The fish was very fresh and clean. However, the brown rice in the bowl was hard. Since there is a decent amount of rice in the bowl, it greatly reduced how much I enjoyed eating the bowl and found myself just wishing I had more fish.Parking is convenient as it is surrounded by a neighborhood. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They also have seating options outside the building itself, so if the day is nice, it is a great option!

Lovely tea and selection of pastries. I liked the ambiance more than the other cafes around; it’s bright and airy, with eclectic vintage-inspired decor. Easy place to spend a few hours.

Was a little hesitant to get the rose latte because sometimes floral flavors taste like soap. But it was SO SO GOOD. Also got a pumpkin bar which was stellar. Would 100% recommend.

The girl with short hair working at the cash register needs to be FIRED. Shes money hungry, she became a monster all because I said no thanks to tipping.

I have had better coffee for much cheaper. Lab is a certain type of coffee shop in Ann Arbor. It looks clean, put together, and not what you would expect to find halfway down the block. When you walk in you are not greeted, judged by the clothes you were wearing, and treated with little to no respect. And you are treated this way just because you didnt show up to a coffee shop in designer clothing. This is a coffee shop for the elite, someone who wants to pay $5 for a shot of espresso. When I asked the apathetic counter lady if there was any nuts in one of their delicious looking cookies, her response was why do you want to know? Im asking I said because Im allergic to nuts, and was wondering if I could eat it. She responded with well it doesnt look like there is. And I asked do you know or are you just assuming cuz I dont want to have an allergic reaction. Is it possible that you could check for me? She gave me a Blank Stare and then ask it what kind of coffee I would like. I decided to get a shot of espresso with some milk in it, specifying that I do not want coconut milk or almond milk I wanted milk. And she said oh you want Dairy Milk. I didnt know that we were calling it that nowadays, but I guess I was corrected. The coffee was okay, but the reason why Im giving it to Stars, instead of one. Was the second employee that Im at who saw my interaction with the first, she came back and said I checked the ingredients list on the cookies and theres no nuts, also I call milk milk and she gave me a smile.

Best flat white Ive had in a long time!

Great atmosphere to get some work done while enjoying whatever kind of coffee brew you fancy. The espresso was well made and very flavorful. They had plenty of fresh pastries and low-key tunes played in the background to complete the ambiance. Glad I stopped in and would happily visit again.

The baristas were fantastic and helpful and the latte I had was perfect!

Baristas were rude, subpar coffee

❣

Absolutely love this place. They have a very relaxing atmosphere. Coffee is good. The place is brightly lit which I liked.

The lab cafe (with a lowercase L) is my new favorite coffeeshop since moving to Ann Arbor. They have good coffee (and mocha, latte, etc) served in real, sustainable cups (with self-service dish bins near the exit), and excellent pastries. Case study: the first time I went, I ordered a coffee and a vegan cookie and I as a non-vegan couldnt taste that it was vegan - as smooth and creamy as a cookie made with butter. I dont know how they did it but Im impressed.

With quaint furniture, silky smooth lattes (with delightfully innovative flavours), and a cheery ambiance, Lab has all you need (and have come to expect) in a first rate cafe. I had a splendid time at Lab sipping a delicious honey and brown sugar latte while engaging in conversation with a friend. I will certainly return (and introduce other friends) to this lovely gem.

Excellent coffee in a really nice space. The glass front lets in tons of natural light. Highly recommend their pour over any time and the New Orleans in the summer.

Lab consistently offers really creative drinks that are super tasty! They also serve bottled craft beer, which is kind of awesome. I spend a lot of time studying there and drinking coffee and end my study sessions with a beer, which is pretty perfect. The atmosphere is also really nice. I love studying there because there is always nice music playing and its a nice change of scenery compared to the library.

Each time I come here, the staff exceeds my expectations.The matcha green tea latte was recommended to me by the owner (which is nice to see, because a lot of owners dont seem to show face at their own businesses), and it was delicious and aesthetically pleasing. The latte art is very neat and crisp. Little details go a long way.Additionally, the ambience is very warm and inviting, with a very relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.

An adorable little coffee place! Love the decor and coffee is great. I recommend the lavender and honey latte. A little hard to spot, but worth looking for

A+ coffees, their regular coffee is nice but their best stuff is on the paper menu. The butterfly pea was phenomenal!

Great atmosphere and service. Always clean and the coffee is great!

First I love local independent coffee shops and Im not a Starbucks gal at all. So I was thrilled to try the lab. First the girl who took our order was more than rude to us...and yes we added a tip to Our order..just plain rude! Now theGirl who actually made our coffee order was nice. But I have to give a one star on service and taste of coffee. Coffee was bitter and not very hot. Sadly cute decor but we wont be back.

Love this funky cafe. It’s like always packed but it’s because it’s so dope. This is truly one of the only cafes that made my leaf perfect every time.

Neat atmosphere. Small & intimate. Unique drink menu if you are into trying new things. I had the brown sugar & sea salt latte... tasty and totally a cool experience although Ill have to explore their menu more to find my mainstay

This is one of my favorite cafés in the area. Their matcha is delicious and the service is excellent!! The café is always clean and has such a relaxing ambiance. My only con is the lack of seating: I wish there were more places to sit! Otherwise I would recommend them to anyone looking for quality coffee or tea (plus some absolutely amazing baked goods).

The coffee was good, the environment was very pleasent. It took a while to get my black coffee out but wasnt too long of a wait.

Good espresso, but the lattes are also lovely. The aesthetic is sort of hipster/ Scandinavian style which I really like. A bit cramped during some times of day but overall a good place for coffee or tea

Excellent coffee! The coffee is brewed by hand & the flavour is mild / strong! The barista is very nice & easy to talk to!A small hole in the wall cafe thats hard to find but its next to the Noodle Restaurant.

Ordered a dessert (berry whoopie pie) and the vanilla rose latte, both were excellent! I wouldve given this five stars but one of the staff members was oddly hostile and rude so that tainted an otherwise cool experience.

Enjoyable lighting, teas, and espresso! Friendly service too :)

Always delightful place to go. Great for conversation or getting some work done

Great place to do some work or to pause during an Ann Arbor full day. So full of light during the days, and occassional projections on the walls behind the bar as the nighttime arrives.Always an incredibly friendly staff, and a fun mix of high quality snacks and sweets. The coffee is great, and they know what their talking about when it comes to coffee.Its a smallish space but Ive never had issues with it being too crowded but might be hard for a massive group.+1

Lots of care for the espresso balance. Few shops put in the time.

Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious artisan drinks

There are so many coffee shops to try in Ann Arbor, but Lab is a must. This adorably trendy spot offers custom Latte flavors and all kinds of taste treats. Pro Tip: Try the Honey Lavender Latte, it is fantastic. Wonderful place and wonderful staff.

Nice, very clean and many people. It would be nice if they added more spaces

Makes a good pourover coffee and has both a clean bathroom and wifi.

This place is a vintage/minimal cafe. They have amazing lattes! It’s clean and student friendly!

Vanilla rose latte was bomb. The La Marzocco and the guy behind it produced some excellent drinks

Great little coffee shop and the service was fast and very polite

I really like the atmosphere of this place except most of the time when I come and try to get decaf coffee or espresso they’re out, even in the early afternoon. It’d be nice if they planned better and had more decaf on hand since they constantly seem to run out.

Good coffee and cakes but often slow service. Its also quite expensive.The design of the place is great and they have delicious baked goods (though they cannot warm then for you).Not the best place for sitting in and studying for more than an hour. Youll probably feel uncomfortable hanging there for longer.

Great coffee and espresso drinks and really tasty baked goods from Songbird Cafe with GF options. Its often packed and can be hard to get a seat if you are planning on studying. Staff can come across as indifferent at times - if they were friendlier Id give this place 5 stars.

Great location, cool vibe and great coffee. I had a pour over and it was one of the best coffees I have had!

The ambience here is really hipster yet relaxing. Theres never a wait, but the tables do tend to be full in the afternoons and evenings. Great location!

Love this cute little coffee shop so much ❤️

An interesting coffee shop, they offer a nice selection with a few speciality drinks. However the honey and cinnamon latte I ordered was very sweet and had too much cinnamon on top. We may have had a new barista as well because there was an attempt at latte art but it didnt turn out. The atmosphere inside is rather strange, they have a bunch of mismatched furniture that looks out of place.

I visit lab often. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is nice. The music is sometimes loud, but they curate the playlist themselves. Jo is happy to talk to you about the business if you ask her anything about the products or philosophy. Get the lavender and honey latte or the iced chai!

Wonderful and exotic flavor of coffee. Must go!

Probably the best coffee shop I have been to since I closed my own excellent coffee and well experienced Baristas I was very pleased to say the least

Extremely expensive but extremely nice. Its bright and relaxing inside and I enjoying working here, however my coffee was $4.00...

Beautifully crafted drink in a hip, crisp, clean atmosphere. Great drink in a great location. Staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. Ill be back.

Great music. Happy service. Incredible energy and coffee

Beetroot ginger latter, chocolate covered zucchini bread,... very creative!

Consistently the best place to get a latte in Ann Arbor.

This place is so great-- delicious coffee and snacks, modern, airy aesthetic, and comfortable seating. All around win!

Best coffee in town! We stop here everytime we visit Ann Arbor.

Great hipster cafe. A little pricey but good quality.

A real coffee shop with great coffee and relaxing atmosphere to read, hangout or work.

Fun local coffee store.Good sense of cohesion and style, nice drinks, and beer as well.

Great aesthetic, Ive never had bad service there

Its good for sure, and a cool space, but way overpriced and way normcore. They serve beer here too which is nice if youre waiting for a table at tomukun or just looking for a chill place to hang out for a little.

Love the aesthetics at this location. Great coffee and treats.

Good pour over coffee and a great pumpkin bar. Friendly staff and comfortable environment.

Rude customer service. Used to enjoy this place, but Id much rather drink elsewhere. Nothing special. Looks beautiful, but the owner and staff are garbage. Defeats all the purpose.

Great staff, I suggest trying their ice latte.

Great spot for pour over coffee, good rotating selection of high quality beans like Blue Bottle, Madcap, Intelligentsia, and Counter Culture. Not a ton of seating. Baristas are fairly knowledgable!

Great unique coffee and gluten free snacks.
