Ann Arbor Food and Coffee
Where to Eat, Drink, and Caffeinate in Ann Arbor For food, Ellie swears by the tacos at Miny’s, a local gem with big flavor. Vicente’s favorite is the smoky, tender BBQ at Ricewood, tucked behind York, where you can also grab a drink and chill. When it comes to coffee, Zingerman’s Coffee Company is Vicente’s pick—especially the Dirty Sheed (trust us, it’s a game-changer). Ellie’s go-to is the honey vanilla latte from RoosRoast, a cozy and quirky local favorite. For drinks, head to The Last Word for Ellie’s favorite cocktails in an intimate, speakeasy-style setting, or join Vicente at Rappourt for great beer on tap and a relaxed vibe.
