Vertex Coffee Roasters

This is my favorite coffee shop in Ypsi!Their food, coffee, and service is great, and I love all of the events they host! They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

Still love the atmosphere and ambiance of the coffee spot but the pastries aren't as good as previous remembered. I would like to see a more robust selection that isn't completely focused on gluten-free only options. The service when I went felt awkward and a little stand off-ish. Also a little sad there isn't a cold brew but that's preferential. Overall still really enjoy the Vertex experience.

Good and fun. Can't wait til spring and sit outside. Had the mocha. Pretty standard. Nice and wide open inside. Definitely a place for working.

I can understand people who love this place but information for me I just didn't have the best time. Their chai was what was recommended to me and it was...not good. It was overly sweet, and felt like they used some kind is syrup that tasted more like sugar than the chai spices I'm used to. The other issue I had was the service. I ordered the elder millennial toast which is avocado toast and it took 35 min to get. Apparently someone gave my order away and didn't tell me. While I did get a refund, 35 min for toast is pretty crazy. I do love the space: I'd been there before even it was Cultivate and the folks working there were very sweet and nice. I just don't think I'd come back - at least not for the chai.

So glad to see the former Cultivate space come back to life.Food options are a little limited at the moment and the back patio isn't open yet.That said the coffee is great and there's tons of room for working but they've just recently opened. I look forward to coming back and watching the business grow.

I had read about Vertex for their gluten-free treats recently, and had the chance to pop in on a recent trip to Ypsilanti. They were in their soft opening phase when we went, with the grand opening still to come. But I loved the laid back vibe and the variety of gluten free treats that they had. Located in the home of an old favorite coffee spot, it was a welcome change of pace from the bustle outside. I got a world peace cookie and it was the perfect size for a small treat in the afternoon. As I checked out I saw that they're also opening their zero proof bar soon. I'll be looking forward to seeing what's on their mocktail menu once it's up and running. Vertex fills a void in Ypsilanti for a great gathering spot to grab a snack and a drink!

I wish I could give Vertex a 5, but I've been several times now and have always had mediocre service. Staff are friendly and I've always enjoyed my lattes and pastries (vegan options available), but I've had a couple instances where toast (for others) took 30+ minutes or having to wait a while for silverware that wasn't given with food. I'll keep giving them a try because I'm nostalgic for the old Cultivate space, but I recommend not going if you are in a hurry. Also, very sad all of the sandwich bread has dairy or egg (I forget which one)!

The coffee here was so delicious the pumpkin seasonal flavor was one of the best I've had. The staff made it even better, they are easy to chat with and very knowledgeable about the coffee and flavors they are selling. The atmosphere is cute and I could see myself coming back to work and relax. My friend had to go back in to compliment the coffee they made after tasting it in the car.

Cool spot. I stopped in in the afternoon and got a drink off of their zero proof cocktail menu. I got the Rhimes with Orange. It was unique and refreshing. I like the liberal, super friendly and welcoming vibe of the place. They have a large yard with outside seating and provide blankets if you want to just chill in the grass and board games if you want to play with friends or strangers.

I love it!I was so surprised at how warm and inviting this place is. I have a gluten issue and for them to tell me that everything was gluten free felt so liberating. I did not have to worry. No cross contamination or time spent trying to find what won't make me sick. The staff is friendly and service is quick. The drinks and food full of life, love and flavor. I hope I am not writing myself out of my new go to spot. See you soon!
