Curious Coffee

Curious Coffee is exceedingly delicious! Especially if you are a filter coffee nerd like me, you’re unlikely to find a better experience in Ann Arbor than here, and they would definitely be on a short list of the best in Michigan (and I’ve been around 😁). They offer at least five filter coffee options at one time. I tried two of them. I grabbed a bag of strawberry co-ferment beans that I am excited to get into. Mike, the owner, was so kind, engaging, and informative as I asked about the options. Their name suits them well as they clearly enjoy experimenting with all that coffee has to offer in this realm. They are currently in this rented space but are very soon getting into their own place! Don’t pass it by!

My single favorite coffee place in Ann Arbor! Fantastic staff, welcoming vibe, and most importantly best high quality coffee! Tried almost everything on their menu and the pourover is always good (they would redo it if they’re unhappy with how they come out!) Traditional milk based drinks and special espresso also sooo good!

The short: Curious Coffee is my favorite place in Southeast Michigan to get coffee, and honestly, it has the best coffee I've ever tried in my life. Curious Coffee is totally worth braving downtown Ann Arbor and dealing with parking. The staff, and owner, are incredibly friendly and personable, always ready with great recommendations. If you haven’t been, I highly recommend going. I’ve never had black coffee taste as fantastic as it does at Curious Coffee—let alone their honey latte, which is incredible. Cost: Honestly, it’s cheaper than most coffee shops in Ann Arbor. (They do have luxury coffee that is $22+ if you are brave and Curious, most of their drinks are $7-8). Taste: Incredible—the best coffee in Ann Arbor, and in my life. The bad: Curious Coffee may have ruined breakroom coffee for me; now I know what good coffee tastes like. The long: Curious Coffee really lives up to its name. I’ve gone several times, and each time I leave feeling more curious about coffee, having learned something new. Perhaps I’m uncultured and have been drinking coffee wrong for the last 16 years, but before visiting Curious Coffee, I had never heard of a Geisha coffee blend, or had black coffee

Got curious as a coffee snob and decided to check this relatively-new kid on the block. Curious Coffee offers some of the highest quality coffee beans in Ann Arbor and probably in Michigan. The baristas are friendly and visibly highly passionate in coffee. Tried the Yessica & Diego Parra - thermal shock sidra pourover and it was almost perfectly brewed to bring out the best of the beans. The brownie was surprisingly delicious and paired well with coffee. The ambience was lively and welcoming, and I personally find it to be more of a cafe to bring along your friends, chat, and maybe impress them with good coffee. Prices for the beans are steep, especially if you compare the prices of the beans to other top roasters in USA, around the world and even the green beans themselves. However, if you see going to Curious Coffee to be more of an experience, the price might be worthwhile for some. It offers some lesson/cupping sessions which I am now more curious about.

I really love this coffee shop. Perfect atmosphere, perfect baristas and staff, perfect coffee. Everything I get here is always amazing. I personally love the "strawberry cheesecake" flat white. It was my first time trying coffee that had been fermented with strawberries and it was divine. Cole and the others are always so fun and make it a great experience. Airy and spacious atmosphere. They also have some of the cutest mugs.
