Downtown Ann Arbor
gained a new coffee shop
when
BeanBerry
Cafe
opened on October 15.
BeanBerry
is
operated
by
two
brothers,
Wes
and Issa Baiz, and offers
a variety of coffees and
teas, including bubble tea
and bubble waffles.
Their
coffee
option
include a “Selfieccino,” a
cappuccino with a photo
printed
directly
into
the foam on top of it.
The image is made by a
small printer operated by
customers, who scan the
QR code on the machine
and upload the image they
would like to have printed
on their drinks.
The
machine
only
prints in coffee dust, so
there are no colors. Wes
Baiz explained they keep
additives out of the drink.
“You have the option
of buying the machine
and doing it with black
and white or colored, but
the colored has additives
and all that, so we didn’t
want to go that route,”
Baiz said. “We just want
the regular one and the
regular one is just coffee
extract.”
The Baiz brothers grew
up in Detroit, and also
ran cafes in Toledo and
Bowling
Green,
Ohio.
Baiz
said
he
wanted
to introduce people to
French press coffee, as
well as coffee made from
single-origin beans.
“We want to give people
a different idea of what
your
traditional
coffee
tastes like,” Baiz said.
“People are typically used
to things in the packet —
like you put your cup into
the machine and you’re
done — and that’s why
people don’t really like
just regular coffee. So
we want to really bring
out the notes as much as
we can, to give people a
different experience than
what they’ve had before.”
As
well
as
being
focused on more natural
coffee, they offer bubble
tea without fructose
by using pure sugar
cane as a substitute
if requested by the
customer.
The
shop
uses
sustainable
straws,
even though it costs
four times more to
make bamboo straws
instead
of
plastic.
Baiz said it is worth it
to follow BeanBerry’s
mission
of
being
environmentally
conscious.
All
of
the
products
they
sell
are
compostable.
Baiz said he and his
brother established a
route with a special
company
in
order
to
ensure
that
all
garbage
that
they
produce — including
materials
used
by
employees as well as
trash from customers
— is composted.
Baiz
added
the
business
isn’t
all
about profit. He said the
company is very focused
on the customers.
“For us, it’s not about
profit
margins,”
Baiz
said. “We have to have
some, but we truly believe
that if we deliver the
best that we can, people
will support us. We’re
always going to stick to
our values and our belief
system because yes, we
have
the
compostable
products,
but
we
also
care about the people
too.”
Mark
Marsinek,
a
resident
of
Oak
Park,
Mich.,
stopped
into
BeanBerry on a business
trip to Ann Arbor. He
said he loved the colorful
signature bubble waff le.
“I think it’s extremely
innovative, and I think
that
it’s
going
to
be
a big hit because it’s
something
different,”
Marsinek said. “People
can come in here and not
just get coffee, but they
can get bubble tea or a
waff le with ice cream,
and this is really, really
good.
The
concept
is
pretty incredible.”
Public
Policy
senior
Kendall Kaiser said as a
coffee fanatic, she thinks
BeanBerry will thrive in
Ann Arbor.
“I’m
really
excited
about it,” Kaiser said.
“I studied abroad this
past semester, and I was
visiting Copenhagen, and
I went to a coffee shop
with my friends, and they
had that same concept, so
it’s really cool to see in
America.”
