19 Drips
2263 W Liberty St.
A newcomer to the Ann Arbor coffee scene, third-wave 19 Drips is off the beaten path. As one of the few coffee shops on the city's west side, 19 Drips offers westsiders espresso and coffee drinks as well as its house-made Adeni tea -- a Ann Arborite favorite!
The shop also offers lighter fare such as its honeycomb bread and assorted pastries. For an added bonus, 19 Drips is open until 11 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.
Check out Sarah's interview with 19 Drips father-son duo, Hisham and Saeed Ebrahim.
Black Diesel Coffee
1423 E. Stadium Blvd.
Hidden far away from downtown in the lower Burns Park area, the third wave coffee shop partners with Michigan roasters to showcase Michigan coffee blends. Black Diesel offers a plethora of rotating pour-over choices and a full coffee bar as well as all-day breakfast offerings, lunch, grab-and-go sandwiches, sweet treats and gelato. Coffee drinkers can enjoy the cozy space with large windows or sit outside on the patio for prime people-watching.
We suggest walking there if you're in the area as the coffee shop shares a parking lot with other stores, so parking is limited.
