1824 Cocktails & Coffee — Restaurant in Ann Arbor

Four Stars - Creative Drinks, Cool Vibes, and Room to Refine

I’d been eyeing 1824 Cocktails and Coffee online for a few weeks and finally made it in this past Sunday. First impressions? The space is beautiful—bright, modern, and super clean. Think tall ceilings, wood accents, and a cool blend of avant-garde and mid-century modern design. Bonus points for the incredibly comfortable seating, which you don’t always expect in places like this.

When we first arrived, the staff was a bit overwhelming—everyone was talking at once, trying to explain how things work, and it felt a little chaotic. That said, once we settled in, the experience turned out great.

We didn’t order any food this time, but stopped in for drinks and sat at the bar. The cocktail menu is creative and full of fun twists on the classics. I had an Old Fashioned with coffee liqueur that was smooth and perfectly balanced, and followed it up with a vodka-heavy cream and coffee liqueur drink that was equally delicious.

They also have a small menu of food options—mostly apps—which I plan to check out next time. My only suggestion for improvement: give guests a clearer welcome and walkthrough of how things work when they first arrive. Oh, and maybe fix the “cappuccino” spelling on the menu and signage—it’s a coffee bar, after all.

Overall, this place has serious potential and I’ll definitely be back...

This is my second time at this place and i absolutely love it! The vibes, the drinks (both alcoholic and coffee) and the employees!! I just wish this place had a lot more attention because it’s such a hidden gem! I also wish I could find this place on Apple Maps, I don’t think I would’ve came across it if I don’t regularly explore the streets of Ann Arbor for new coffee shops. Overall 10/10! Azh, Ana, and Dana gave my friend and I top tier service. Will 1000% be coming back to do work or...

This is quickly becoming our regular favorite spot! The staff is always welcoming and wonderful, as well as serving up delicious flatbreads, and fabulous drinks! The vibe is always chill and comfortable with something fun always playing on the big screens and a spot on playlist in the background. Extra bonus with outdoor patio seating if you wanna take in the downtown city energy....
