Coffee was great. Oddly they didn't ask if I wanted to go and just defaulted to a disposable cup. Turns out they do have reusable which i prefer. Pastries are vegan and gluten free.

I have to say, there are so many good coffee spots in Ann Arbor.It is hard to choose what coffee spot you want to go to, but personally I love coming to vortex So in my opinion, they take care of their coffees. It's like their own baby. I take care of roastI like the ambience of like being it's community it's like what they do as a vision and how they approach it I've been a patron in the past when I'm in Ann Arbor I can choose from anything I can think of I can go from downtown to central campus and whatsoever but the thing is what strikes me is that they took over a shop that was called glass box. I think it's nice to have quality coffee and to serve the student body of Michigan . I don't go very often because I am not in the area so often no longer but when I'm in the area I think of coming to Vortexx . You're going to buy coffee and you just a coffee snob then this is the spot around central campus. There is many different spots but it depends on your pallet.

Really good coffee! I got the vanilla latte, and it is one of the best in town. They're also very focused sustainability and serves with really nice coffee cups. They have few spots indoor but plenty outdoors.

What a local business gem! Vertex has consistently high quality drinks - I love their Cafe Miel and their rotating season drinks are always fun. Vertex really live into their values. They practice sustainability which includes compostable To-Go ware (which are compostable in the U of M compost program!) and reusable glasses in the coffee shop itself. They're inclusive and host fun community events (recently I've seen them do a garden club and a friend speed dating event). They have cute indoor and outdoor seating. Their staff is super friendly and I feel lucky to have them in the neighborhood.

One of the best coffee shops in AA! My latte was so smooth and creamy. Perfect amount of sweetness. The interior is so bright and beautiful with the all the greenery and plants. The also have a nice outdoor seating area which is really nice in the warmer weather.

I haven't been here for awhile and glad I was able to stop by this morning. Overall, solid vibes and space. There are so many plants and other decorations here that gives the coffee shop a lot of personality. I like that you have to show your proof of vaccination to be able to sit in - a place that cares about COVID is a win in my book.The cortado with oat milk was $3.40 (+ $0.50 up charge for oat milk) which is solid pricing for a double shot espresso. The initial taste upon each sip is fruity and juicy - very strong espresso which I like! However, there's not much after taste. Their espresso is made using their "Colombia" beans which is a light roast with apple, walnut, dark chocolate, and brown sugar notes. Personally, I couldn't really taste the dark chocolate. Just very fruity and juicy! The latte art was beautiful - very skilled barista since cortados are small!Overall, I like this place for their prices, vibes and decent cortado. I'm eyeing their black coffee and cafe miel the next time I stop by.

I went to Vertex like three times a week last semester, and this place is one of my favorite cafes in Ann Arbor. I think their latte is best in town. Nice vibes and friendly staff. They have unique latte menus so I would definitely recommend trying coffee flights. I usually get a hot latte here. Wish they had larger size too!The only thing is that I've noticed the taste of coffee being a little inconsistent depending on which barista makes your coffee. Sometimes the coffee is incredibly great but sometimes lacking flavor.

Ordered a large coffee and a large decaf breve latte. No one said anything about their coffee sizes and just made small sized beverages. Asked why I didn't get them in a size large and they went into what sounded like a scripted corporate drone rant about their standard sizes as if I was already aware that I have to ask for whatever they call their large coffee. Terrible service. All for a terrible tasting coffees. The quality of the cream and coffee were both dissapointing. The latte was watery and hardly tasted like coffee. They also did not know what a breve latte was. They do not know what they are doing and chasing customers away with their poor attitude. I don't even like starbucks but I would rather have gotten starbucks. Next time I'll just get coffee from Hyperion, First Bite, Roos Roast, or Zolas. Two stars because one person actually was kind.
