lab cafe
505 E Liberty St # 300, Ann Arbor, MI
Crema's Take
“Lab strikes that rare balance between a serious espresso bar and a genuinely comfortable hangout spot where you won't feel rushed even if you just dropped in for a quick coffee. The team clearly takes pride in crafting thoughtful specialty drinks—think butterfly pea lattes and lavender honey oat milk concoctions—while maintaining that relaxed, not-too-loud atmosphere that makes it perfect for lingering over work or conversation alongside their rotating selection of quality pastries. It's the kind of place Ann Arbor regulars have claimed as their favorite, drawn back again and again by both the creative drinks and the warmth of a space that feels genuinely welcoming.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

Cute and aesthetically pleasing to the re-purposed, cozy-industrial eye; It is clean, light, and soft. Not loud like some say. Just like anywhere else, the staff is hit or miss. The last time I went in it was good customer service, as for other times, though, they were a big…
