A Coffee Crawl Down Main Street
6 stops · about 3 hours · Updated October 12, 2026
Start this coffee and pastry crawl in Ann Arbor, MI at Mindo Chocolate Makers Shop, 206 N 4th Ave, in Kerrytown. The shop pairs espresso and chocolate drinks to go with baked goods and chocolate treats handmade in Dexter using direct-trade Nacional cacao from Ecuador. Continue to TeaHaus at 204 N 4th Ave for a tea interlude: more than 200 loose-leaf teas accompany French macarons, specialty cakes and pastries made from scratch in-house.
Next, head to Recess Cafe at 208 S Ashley St for locally roasted coffee and pastries, with a children’s play area among its family-friendly features. Follow with RoosRoast Coffee at 1155 Rosewood St, where coffee, tea and pastries share an art-filled setting with outdoor tables.
The final two stops shift the focus to baked goods. Visit 24th Cheesecakerie at 474 Briarwood Cir for cheesecakes from a Michigan-made company, then finish at Q Bakehouse & Market, 1608 Jackson Ave. This Asian American bakery combines Asian-inspired pastries and coffee with small-batch foods and Chinese and Taiwanese pantry staples. Plan the finish around Q’s closing time: 2 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and 1 p.m. Sunday.
