my favorite coffee shop in all of Washtenaw. They make top notch lattes and really care about the quality of their coffee. Pastries are also delicious, staff is super friendly, and the vibe is great for a breakfast conversation or to get some work done

**A Cozy Haven in Ypsilanti - Cafe Liv** I recently had the pleasure of visiting Cafe Liv in Ypsilanti, Michigan, and I can confidently say it's a must-visit, even though I'm not a coffee drinker myself. The owner's incredible warmth and friendliness make you feel right at home the instant you walk in. While I've heard nothing but praise for their coffee, their selection of teas is where they truly won me over. The variety is fantastic, from robust black teas to soothing herbal blends, all served with an attention to detail that elevates each cup. The ambiance is just as delightful, cozy and welcoming, making it the perfect place to unwind or catch up with friends. The owner's enthusiasm for both coffee and tea is contagious; baristas are happy to guide you through their menu, ensuring you find something you'll love. Even though I don't partake in coffee, I can vouch for the quality and care put into every beverage here, based on the satisfied smiles around me. Cafe Liv is more than just a place for a drink; it's a community space where you're treated like family. If you're ever near Ypsilanti, this is the spot to enjoy some exceptional tea or, as I've gathered, some of the best coffee around. Highly recommended!

The first time I came to check out Cafè Liv was on a weekend and they were so busy there was no street parking and from the outside, it didn't look like there were any available tables. I was a little bummed but also more excited to try them out since it looked like so many people love this place. Decided to give them a try on a Monday instead and was so happy with my experience! The lattes were absolutely incredible, the staff was friendly and knowledgeable, vibes were immaculate, and even though a number of people came in while we were there, we still got a great seat by the big windows and got to enjoy the ambiance. We had a Toffee Crunch latte (blue cup) and a Chloe latte (green cup). Definitely a new favorite spot for us in Ypsi.

Love the vibe. Bright and area with plenty of seating options. They offer pastries and include gluten free options which is great. The customer service was great. I had a lavender latte for the first time. It was absolutely delicious. My only critique is the coffee be a bit warmer. Other than that, it was wonderful. I’ll be back!

It’s my first time here, the barista recommended me a Madeleine latte. It was so good. Cute place. Definitely will be back.

One of the best spots for coffee in the Ypsi / Ann Arbor area. A converted mechanic’s garage, they have left a few remnants as decoration, which adds a cool touch to the ambience. The window garage doors means the entire main wall lets in natural light. Fresh local pastries round out great coffee and wonderful specialty drinks - the Madeleine Latte is a personal favorite of ours. There is limited parking on-site but plenty of street parking. A true gem!

This is the kindness needed first thing in the morning and it’s daily here! I forgot my punch card today and this awesome human/employee made sure I got my punch. I go in there with curlers in my hair, paying in quarters and they may be even extra kind on those days. The food is outstanding, the menu for drinks is flavorful. The atmosphere can’t be beat, indoors or outdoors. I just love this place!

Love the lattes! I've tried the seasonal maple latte and chai latte (both with non dairy milk since I'm lactose intolerant) and been very pleased with this coffee shop. One of my favorite coffee shops for working. Lots of tables that seat parties of 1-2, strong wifi, lots of outlets to plug in. They also offer restrooms to customers, a few free parking spots, and outdoor kid/dog friendly seating. The owner and barista are very nice, and I enjoy personal/community oriented touches at this coffee shop - free postcards/postage for customers and a community board near the restrooms.

Outstanding service always, plus fun in- & outdoor ambiance: community table, comfy MCM armchairs, substantial wooden tables, church pew bench & also upholstered bench -- a seat for everyone. Pastries from one of our four local bakeries + great coffees and many tea choices. Coffee refills won my heart. Could only wish for cinnamon rolls on the regular. Love this townie café!!!

Cute and quaint little coffee shop in Ypsi and I love it. I did try the Madeline and it was very good. I can't wait to try more. The barista was super nice and I loved they had a microwave to heat up my muffin. I sat outside at the table without an umbrella and got some great sunlight. I really like this coffee shop.
