The Common Cup

I couldn't have been more blessed by the uplifting Christian atmosphere, the London Fog with almondmilk, or the warm hospitality and sweetheartedness of Ellie!! Thank you for the wonderful memories!

I love the common cup! Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, plus great drinks and pastries! It’s a wonderful place to spend an afternoon working or reading. The space can be a bit noisy sometimes but it doesn’t bother me at all. A side note: they do charge an extra 25¢ for takeout cups so BYO coffee cups if you are on-the-go (I actually appreciate this policy cuz it encourages environmental consciousness!)

Super friendly and relaxed place with a nice art exhibit on the walls. Great coffee! They have special events on Fridays. I will go back. It’s non-profit!

Possibly my favorite cafe in Ann Arbor, and definitely my favorite place to study on campus. Consistently friendly service, excellent coffee/espresso drinks, and now they even have baked goods from DJ’s Bakery for a quick study snack. Soooo good.

The common cup is spacious, and the tables are big enough to spread out my work and get productive. Their drip coffee is also delicious and gives refills. The baristas are so friendly. And they have a clean bathroom. This place is designed for students who need a space to stay for awhile to get some work done with good coffee and atmosphere!

This was an AMAZING find during midterm season. ALL cafes and libraries are PACKED and I was so pleased this place was far enough to take a 10min walk, but close enough to be convenient. It's so empty and quiet with plenty of outlets. I personally enjoyed their elevator music, and their selection of drinks and muffins. My new go-to when I need a quiet place to study! 10/10 recommend, but hope this place stays a hidden gem :)

Absolutely fantastic place to grab a coffee, catch up on a book, work, or just relax. My favorite part is it's a 5 minute walk to the Arboretum from here!

This place is absolutely lovely. It really gives off the "coffee shop to work in" vibe that I have been looking for for so long.

I do work here nearly every day and I love coming here. There are times where it can get loud due to a large amount of customers, but if I put in headphones it is still easy to focus.

I am not an avid coffee drinker, so my judgement of coffee might be that of a novice, but this shop has a large variety of coffee and all of them are pretty unique. They care about their customers and do their best to give everyone a great experience.

Also, they never skimp on the coffee. Now not every cup is like the picture below, but 9/10 time my cup is filled to the brim and it always looks great.

Best coffee shop ever.

Everything about this spot is delightful. Chill music, friendly staff, good drinks, and PARKING (which is a big deal this close to UofM). A new favorite study spot for sure.

Loved this little hide out on Washtenaw that's underground, shares premises with a church and provides a great place to chill or just hangout and work or study. Low traffic (although that could've been a result of Saturday post-game timing) on the afternoon and good cafe menu.

Lots of board games to play with while you visit, like Cultivate in Ypsi (but nearer, hence walkable by A2 students) and good staff. We ordered a mocha, chocolate milk and a cortado respectively and all were good👍🏻

The Common Cup is one of my favorite cafes in Ann Arbor! It is spacious, the latte sizes are generous, and it has free parking in central Ann Arbor - a huge perk. The staff are friendly. It is a gem hidden in the rough. Definitely search it out!

Hole in the wall, but really spacious inside. Fair prices and very clean modern-looking space. It is a basement so natural light is limited, but overall a productive space.

One of the best chai tea lattes I've had in the area so far. They also have a board games area which was super fun.

Definitely one of my favorite coffee shops in Ann Arbor! There are so many drinks to choose from, but my favorite is the java chip blended coffee. There's plenty of space to sit, there's also a huge number of outlets, and a big water jug. The baristas are all very friendly and personable too.

Love the space, the atmosphere, the price is fair...love this concept of nonprofit coffee shop.

Clean! Nice place, mom & pop, no miserable big chain line or attitude!

The Common Cup has an amazing, comfortable, and welcoming atmosphere. I always see groups of people studying or just chilling out. I almost always get a tea latte. I don't know how they do it, but their milk frother must be top notch! I have yet to find another coffee shop that froths their milk to this level of fluffy. I love a super fluffy latte. Also, the portion sizes are huge for the price. If you order the biggest size of drink, it will come in a comically huge sized mug, like a soup bowl. I'm not complaining. You will get a LOT of drink! One of my most favorite coffee shops to relax in.

Very chill relaxed but unpretentious spacious coffee shop away from the bustle of town but not too far from everything. Delicious lattes, including the miel. Got some work done in a really calm atmosphere. We'll be back.

One of Ann Arbors best kept secrets, sorry. Great atmosphere, great drinks, great parking, great staff, great events, yet still a quiet and calm study spot. You literally cannot go wrong here.

Would’ve given 6 stars if that was allowed for the barista! They do birthday free coffee confirmed
