Bun Chai Yemeni Coffee & Tea
306 S State St, Ann Arbor, MI
Crema's Take
“This warm and inviting Yemeni café celebrates the intersection of coffee and tea traditions with signature drinks like the Bun Chai Latte, a creative blend that honors both elements of their name. Beyond their expertly crafted beverages and fresh pastries, Bun Chai cultivates a genuine sense of community with comfortable seating, prayer accommodations, and an atmosphere that welcomes everyone from solo laptop workers to families gathering together. The care they pour into each drink and the consistent quality across an impressively varied menu—spanning traditional Yemeni coffee and spiced teas to modern creations—has earned them a devoted following in Ann Arbor.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.
