Stimulatte Cafe — Restaurant in Ypsilanti Charter Township

I visited Stimulatte Cafe after receiving a mailer advertising 25% off your order during the second-to-last week of August. When I arrived, I was told the coupon could not be used until September. There was no mention of that on the flyer. I decided to try it anyway to support a small business.

I ordered an iced matcha latte with oat milk as my usual first drink at a new café. The barista said it would have matcha, ice, and frothed milk. When my drink arrived, the froth made the top bubbly, which felt strange for a cold latte. The color was off and darker than expected. It was also unexpectedly sweet, making it difficult to drink. After a few sips, I had to throw it away because it made me feel nauseous. Not a good feeling throwing away $7. For this same price, I would prefer Starbucks venti iced matcha latte. If the matcha is pre-sweetened or lower quality, that should be clearly shared with customers.

The café itself reminded me of a mix between Caribou and Biggby, with a cozy vibe, though some table and chair heights did not make sense. I have seen the owner respond to other negative reviews, and I would not be surprised if they respond to this one. The point of a review is to share one’s experience.

The sandwich menu is limited but it's GOOD.

The man who helped us was helpful with good recommendations and was polite. We will definitely be back! I look forward to trying one of the dessert pastries next time, they looked so good. It's a great addition to...

I stopped by this coffee shop and was seriously impressed! I ordered a cortado, and it was everything I hoped for—rich, smooth, and strong. Easily one of the best I’ve had in a while. For food, I tried a couple of their breakfast bagels. The turkey sausage, egg, and cheese was solid—definitely worth coming back for—but the turkey ham, egg, and cheese? Phenomenal. A unique twist on the classic breakfast bagel that really stood out. Beyond the food and coffee, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and just the kind of place you want to linger in. Definitely a gem worth supporting—local businesses like this help strengthen...
