Black Iron Coffee Roasters

Latte with cinnamon, honeyTrying Something different and was great Would recommend

Wow! I think this has become my new favorite coffee shop! Everything we got was absolutely delicious! They have so many drink options and so many flavor options. Service was not the fastest, but that is because everything is handcrafted and fresh. The people working were extremely nice as well. Love the atmosphere of the place. Unique building. Would be a great place to come and work. The only thing that would make it better is if they got more fresh food options like paninis or other breakfast/lunch options.

Looking at reviews, it seems this place has been open for a while, but actually visiting the café, it seemed like everyone was new and unsure of how to handle the influx of customers. Seeing their sign stating they were awarded best coffee from Channel 4, I thought I would be drinking an amazing cup of coffee. While this place may have a fan base, it was just not my jam, and that is okay.They had four people working, two to figure out of the cash register, and two to figure out how to make the coffee. With four people, you would have thought the process would have been faster, but they were slowly making one cup at a time and did not seem to master the efficiency of a busy café yet. They blamed the farmer's market day but had a long line of people waiting for their drinks. Many were getting visually impatient and were audibly claiming to not want to come back after waiting for so long. The anxiety of their customers took away from the chill coffee culture vibe. I did not see any food and they only had a menu hanging on butcher paper. The menu was very simple, so I am not sure why each cup took so long to prepare. I had their signature Black Iron latte which they claimed had a special house syrup. With all of the careful coffee tamping, I though it would be bold, but it was fairly weak coffee with only a hint of syrup. It was fair and only tasted a bit better when I got to the bottom of the cup. This is the second disappointing coffee experience in a week. I love to try small businesses, but if Starbucks makes a better bolder cup, it is hard going outside the comfort zone.

A lovely little coffee shop in the vibrant and bustling downtown Howell! I was fortunate enough to attend the day of their grand re-opening and beat most of the crowds pouring in! I ordered their namesake - the delicious Black Iron latte concocted using their homemade vanilla syrup with honey and cinnamon. It was smooth, delicious, and a great way to start the day. I plan to return the next time I'm in Howell and am glad to have a fun little shop around with extremely friendly staff offering delicious, fresh roasted coffee offered at reasonable prices!

Clean and inviting, with house-made baked treats, a friendly staff, and a perfect cup of coffee. I had a flat white; they poured the froth with a fern leaf design ; )I dig this spot!

Very very delicious coffee and friendly people working here. I got a latte three days in a row and it was perfect every time, perfect foam and flavor. Highly recommend this spot!

Best coffee shop in the Howell / Brighton area!I must admit I didn't realize they existed until a friend whose taste I trust recommended this shop over Uptown. Lower visibility from the road than its' longtime competitor- But the coffee IS SO MUCH BETTER and they don't have the whole leisurely, "i'll be open when I feel like serving you coffee" hours going on. Their nitro cold brew is off the chain, as well as their latte. I'm a cheap date. Latte when its cold or a nitro cold brew when its warm.I cant stress enough how excellent their cold brew and espresso drinks are. Espresso and hot beverages are served in mugs for here or standard to go cup. As an ann arbor resident i'd give this spot a tie with drip house and comet coffee in the arcade. The upsell is the homey vibes a more rural town like howell affords. You won't get any side-eye. I love ann arbor, but post 2020 at many establishments, there are subliminal... fascist vibes. (Though Drip House is excluded from that anecdote.)Super friendly staff. They genuinely take an interest in you. I go here to write and I always end up chatting with Noelle and distracting her.Great sitch for working at a laptop or notebook. They do serve a small lunch and breakfast menu until 2pm. I tried the breakfast wrap and it was great. Sausage, egg, cheese, and a cheddar jalapeño wrap. This is a gem, Howell! Give this shop more love!!

This is the best coffee place in Howell. Great atmosphere, excellent baristas, and the best tasting coffee around. Uptown has more variety, but for my money Black Iron has the taste, no doubt.

Black Iron is by far the best coffee shop in Howell. I try to stop in every weekend or on days that I work from home. The Black Iron latte is so good and is usually my go-to order. The owner and workers are friendly, and the atmosphere of the place is delightful.

They have excellent coffee . It's just the way my husband and I like it. We are pretty fussy when it comes to having a good cup of strong coffee. But if you don't like strong coffee I'm sure they make just the way you want it.
