The food and produce are great, at or above quality you would find at a conventional grocery store. More importantly, everyone there is so friendly and helpful. I started using their online ordering system and my EBT card, and they were very patient and helpful in helping me figure it all out. I also really appreciate the ways they support their community, such as their extremely low cost produce subscription box for EBT holders (if you're worried about cost, I've found my food stamps stretch further here than at the local supermarket, with better quality and even counting a small treat). I plan to continue using them as much as possible.

Transformative experience- much more than a grocer but it does start with a fabulous assortment of local meat, cheese, dry goods like breads, pastries, pasta and chips, honey, and then into a wonderful array of produce. oh yes- beer wine. 100% locally sourced. Kathy and Bill are visionaries and the staff is just great.

This is a nice chaffer place that offers local products, they make coffee and sell pastry, but! That make their own ice cream, they crush the fruits right in front of you. Yummy!!! They have beer on tap and also wine And you can buy local produced snacks. And few meters away they have a store with greater selection. Definitely worth visiting!

I'm a long time fan, and just tried the ice cream blended with local fruit for the first time and it is so great! Excellent coffee drinks, pastries, and all kinds of prepared foods and drinks. Nice indoor seating, and a few covered outdoor spots too. The staff is always just the nicest!

Good! Bigger than before, but not by much. More open of a floor plan. Local coffee and grocery. High prices randomly, so it's best to add it to a store rotation instead of making it homebase.

Great purveyor for local vendors - a farmers market source without needing to wait for Saturday mornings

I love the Argus on Liberty St. However when i came to visit this location everyone was very rude and pretentious. If you aren’t wearing the latest vegan cargo shorts and don’t fit the ‘look’ you won’t be treated the same. Exclusive. Overpriced. Obviously only for a specific type of vegan white person. I love growing my own food and exploring produce but so uncomfortable being there I had to leave.

Wonderful little place in Ann Arbor with great coffee (flat white), local draft beers, and local foods. Came back here every day during my visit.

What a great place with local Michigan farms supplying the products for sale here! Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. They sell farm sourced baked goods too, and the cookies I bought were delicious! Wonderful coffee bar and the tables and chairs provide a nice place to sit and enjoy part of the day. Highly recommend and we will be back!

Argus is excellent! Great way to support local farmers and business owners. You can always expect high quality fresh produce. The coffee and pastries are really good, and to my surprise, less expensive than many other local coffee shops. Employees are always friendly and quick to help.
