Vertex Coffee Roasters

ann arbor has a coffee scene that punches well above what you'd expect from a mid-sized college town, with serious roasters and cafes scattered across neighborhoods that take their beans pretty seriously. vertex coffee roasters, sitting on south university avenue, is one of the reasons that reputation holds up. the south university corridor runs through the heart of university of michigan's campus, and it's the kind of street where you're constantly in motion, between classes, between meetings, between whatever comes next. vertex gives you a reason to slow down. regulars here are genuinely devoted, the kind of loyalty that builds over years, not weeks. if you're in the area in the morning, the drip coffee is where to start.
