Welcome to Foggy Bottom |
|
|
Foggy Bottom is a unique, one of a kind coffee house located in scenic Dexter, MI just 10 minutes west of Ann Arbor.
We’re not just another cookie cutter coffee house mimicking our competitors, reselling from the same commercial roasters.
We buy our beans green (unroasted) from countries all over the world. It arrives on a pallet in 132-154 lb burlap bags. We roast it right here in the shop. Our coffee is served fresh from the roaster instead of a warehouse storage rack. We start out with a great bean, roast it right, and serve it up fresh.
Being freshly roasted, our drip coffees really pop with flavor. Its like comparing fresh peaches to canned peaches. Our espresso is our own custom blend designed to be thick, creamy with a good strong bite that people love. Our Killer Baboons Dark Roast is our most popular blend. It’s like waking up to a punch in the nose – a bit much for me.
If you have a moment, check out our food menu and our catering menu.
Our atmosphere is all about the outdoors, mostly mountains – hiking, biking, backpacking and climbing. We try to create a culture of escape here in the shop. When you come here, this is your moment. If anything is pressing you in life, it slides off at the door. During your time with us, you’re in a different world.
Thanks for visiting our site here and hope to have you in the shop soon.

 A Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Deputy came in a few days ago and our chit chat got onto the subject of cop shows on TV. He has no use for them. They’re all fake, even “COPS.” The thing he doesn’t like about “COPS” is the absence of personality among the officers. “As soon as you put a camera on them,” he says, “they keep everything real careful. It’s not staged, but yet not quite real life either.”
I’m thinking about the little bit of “COPS” I’ve watched. He’s right of course. But then again, I’m impressionable. “You wanna know the best cop show on TV?” he asks. “What’s that?” “Reno 911.” He waits for my reaction. The thought of getting arrested if I answer wrong starts skittering around in the back of my skull. I’m suddenly nervous and my voice comes out just a little bit higher, “Are you serious?” |

January 5th, 2009... “How much are these cookies?” One of the after-school regulars was at the counter inspecting a pac of heart shaped vegan cookies that look like bird suet. “Two-fifty plus some tax,” I answered. Wow. A kid who is thinking healthy. “Are they good?” she asked. Go ahead, Read on! |
