A Coffee Crawl Down Main Street
6 stops · about 3 hours · Updated October 5, 2026
Build this coffee and pastry crawl in Ypsilanti, MI around tea, specialty roasting, bakery stops, and a juice finish. Start at Hyperion Coffee Co, 306D N River St, where the roasting approach pairs relationships with coffee farmers with individual roast profiles. Next, head to Bloodroot Herb Shop and Tea House at 208 W Michigan Ave for house-blended teas in an herbal apothecary with more than 60 organic bulk herbs.
Continue to Beara Bakes at 10 N Washington St for a bakery stop with breakfast, coffee, and takeout. Follow North Washington Street to Café Liv at number 202, a former early-1900s Standard Oil station and auto-repair shop now serving specialty coffee and tea, with indoor and outdoor seating.
Finish with two Washtenaw Avenue addresses: Dom Bakeries at 1305 for coffee, pastries, and classic donuts, then Vara Juice at 1510 for smoothies, green juices, or an acai bowl. Plan for Thursday through Sunday, when all six stops list hours, and reach Beara Bakes before its 2 p.m. closing.
