Strider Coffee Stop

The best matcha latte in Ann Arbor!! No pre-made mixes or flavored sweeteners here. Just high quality matcha that you can see (such a beautiful bright green) and taste, innovative mixing tool that still uses the classic matcha whisk, and an oat milk option. I also love their chai tea latte! I'm not a coffee drinker, but have heard that their coffees are excellent and thoughtfully sourced as well. Located in Q Bakehouse which is perfect - you definitely will want to snag some treats to go with your beverage while you're there! More of a grab and go place, but there is a small amount of seating there to enjoy there if you'd like too!

Super excellent rotating coffees with friendly knowledgeable baristas. Don't miss the cafe rico!

Great lattes, drip coffee, and teas. Inside of Q bakehouse. Currently, many of their teas are from Hugo Teas (check out the Hugo Tea website https://www.hugotea.com/ if you want to totally nerd out on tea). Their matcha is (imo) very special and tasty and is from Uji near Kyoto and is one of _the_ places in Japan where the very best matcha is produced. The 'Champagne' oolong tea was interesting and very fresh and not tannic. Very friendly service. It's an independent (and brand new March 2024) store shared with an Asian fusion bakery, with a smaller seating area, so it is not super conducive to studying there for hours or anything like that. But the amount of heart and sweat that goes into these businesses is clear, and I will take that over a franchise with crappy quality beverages any day.

I live 30 seconds walking distance from this bakery. Saturday morning 10:30-11am is probably *not* the best time to visit if you want to sit down. If you're lucky enough to see the egg galettes come out from the oven, be sure to get one! Delicious! I had already purchased my yuzu coconut vegan bread, but rang up a second order once the galettes made an appearance. Btw, I could eat the yuzu coconut bread every day of my life and still not have enough of that. The people behind the counter are helpful and very personable. THE COFFEE. OMG, THE COFFEE!!! It's nice to finally have a proper espresso or cortado close to home! Even with a flow of people coming through and clearly pumping out lots of espresso, the guy who was making them was pleasant and enjoyable to talk with. Sadly, the place is a bit small and cramped for the amount of people who want to enjoy the bakery and coffee, and I hope when they expand, they can expand on that property so it stays as a neighborhood gem.

Amazing service, cute place, and delicious food and drinks. Ube vanilla iced coffee was the perfect start to my day, along with the mango cinnamon roll, I was skeptical but it was delicious!

OMG this place is my new favorite! I had an oat-milk latte and an oat-milk chai. I am so picky about chai because so often it's watered down or almost gritty in texture but this is hands down the best chai I've ever had! I also had the chili crisp scone and it was delicious, by far the best scone I've had around here. I will be craving this place daily. The staff is fantastic and so easy to talk to. The inside is pretty small but they have made it very cozy with nice colors, plants and great music. This place is an absolute gem and I wish them all the success! I already can't wait to go back!

Excellent coffee. Caleb and the rest of the staff were very friendly. The vibe of the building is just right. I'll be back!
