C King & Cafe

TL;DR: Classy, intimate venue with extensive high-quality drink selection. Atmosphere: Loved it. European cafe feel, roaring open fire pizza oven in the back, warm lighting, intimate and charming. Service: We arrived near the end of the day and ordered mostly cocktails. The bartender was friendly, knowledgeable, and checked in on us the perfect amount Fare: Extensive drink menu with wine, beer, and numerous cocktails. We tried several cocktails which were well mixed and alcohol forward in the best way. We also sampled a lemon tart. The curd was delicious but the crust was lacking and it was served in a wine glass which was pretty but sub-optimal.

Where to begin? Everything about this place was wonderful. Our waiter was kind, thorough, and attentive, making the experience even better. I ordered the “Thousand Layer” Double Baked French Toast from the brunch menu and the New Mexico Pizza from the seasonal fare menu. The French toast was perfectly warm and soft, while the pizza was light and flavorful. They also provide red pepper flakes and Parmesan on the side. There’s a great selection of specialty drinks and made-to-order desserts - saving those for next time! Prices are reasonable for the quality (see menu pics). The interior decor has its own flair, and there’s a nice outdoor area where you can bring a furry friend. Overall, an excellent experience! Zero complaints. Fun fact: this place started as a grocery store in 1838!

From the moment I stepped into C. King & Co Cafe, I knew I was in for a great experience. The ambiance is nothing short of immaculate—warm, inviting, and buzzing with a vibrant yet relaxed energy. I was promptly greeted by Jack, who set the tone for an exceptional evening with his friendly and professional demeanor. Opting to sit at the bar, I was impressed by Jack’s deep knowledge of the menu. Without hesitation, he walked me through each offering with the expertise of a true connoisseur, making thoughtful recommendations and ensuring I had all the information I needed to make the perfect choice. The highlight of the evening, however, was the pizza—expertly crafted by Erica, who was working her magic in the kitchen that night. Every bite was a perfect balance of crispness and flavor, showcasing the care and skill that goes into their food. If you find yourself in the greater Ann Arbor area, C. King & Co Cafe is a must-visit. Whether you’re there for the outstanding service, the expertly prepared food, or simply the fantastic atmosphere, this spot delivers on all fronts. I’ll definitely be returning, if in the area!

Absolutely delicious! We've been here a few times now and it's my wife and I's favorite restaurant in Ypsi now. The pizzas are absolutely delicious and the cocktails are unique and modern (and also delicious)
