Foggy Bottom * Life is Short - Stay Awake
Wednesday, 18 January 2006
Looking for the absolute best coffee shop in Ann Arbor? It's a trick question. The best place to go isn't in Ann Arbor, it about 2 miles west of Zeeb on Dexter Rd. (next to Country Market) [ MAP]


If we had a rating system, they would score 10s across the board. Even the French judges would give this place a standing ovation.

  • Coffee: excellent.
  • People who serve you: genuinely friendly
  • Wireless signal: strong
  • Sound system: incredible
  • Tune selection: awesome (no morning talk shows!)
  • Overall ambiance: Warm and inviting
  • Food/menu: Excellent, lots of depth
  • Fax in lunch orders: Heck yes!


Foggy Bottom has done their Feng Shui homework. While it looks small from the outside, it really is beautifully designed making it a place you'll want to frequent with your laptop. See the inside

Update 14-Nov

They have a new WiFi connection, kinda pokey: 817K down, 117K up. Still, this place is one of our faves because of the music, people and quality java.
