The Common Cup — Restaurant in Ann Arbor

I've been coming to the Common Cup for 4 years+. Of all of the places (I've done graduate school at the U...I've tried all of the coffee shops in town) to study in Ann Arbor I find it the best. Reasons:

Parking. You can park your car here and not have to pay. This can't be said of any of the other coffee shops located within the city of Ann Arbor. Prices: ~2.75 for a bottomless cup. Can't be beat. Ambiance: there are rotating art exhibits that are up on the walls that make the space change from month to month. When I have to do some serious studying it is nice to have a place without windows to minimize distractions. Internet/Outlets: exceptionally fast. I have never had any issues with connecting. Most tables have access to an outlet so you're able to stay for a while to get work done. Quality: Hyperion coffee is served and it is consistently excellent. Staff: All incredibly friendly/helpful. Hours: It isn't open until as late as some of the other coffee shops, but during the academic year it is open until 10.

All in all I cannot say enough good things. You...

This place is absolutely lovely. It really gives off the "coffee shop to work in" vibe that I have been looking for for so long.

I am not an avid coffee drinker, so my judgement of coffee might be that of a novice, but this shop has a large variety of coffee and all of them are pretty unique. They care about their customers and do their best to give everyone a great experience.

Also, they never skimp on the coffee. Now not every cup is like the picture below, but 9/10 time my cup is filled to the brim and it always looks great.

Best coffee shop ever. (Pictures are...

5 stars on customer service, atmosphere, prices, quality, parking, etc.! My overall experience here was beyond pleasant. Being a Christian coffee shop connected to the church, I expected to be ambushed at the door with people with pamphlets which, even being a Christian myself, makes me anxious. However, that was not the case here at The Common Cup. It functions the same as any nice coffee shop should, very relaxed. It is a great space for everyone. I like their acceptability of the public and their subtle Christian hues for anyone who is receptive of them (but they are not overbearing or forced at all). Oh and another 5 stars on the play on words with the name and the WiFi...
