C.King & Co. Cafe

I had a birthday dinner here and had an amazing time! The food is delicious, especially the pizzas. The service was excellent, and our waiter was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is also pleasant and relaxing. C. King & Co. is wonderful. I hope it remains a fixture in downtown Ypsi for a long time.

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!

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!

Jack made the best espresso martini and lime Rickey! Try the purple cauliflower meatball! Give Jack a raise he made the experience great with his excellent customer service

This is a super cute cafe with a fun relaxed vibe. Our waitress Natalie was friendly and attentive even when the place got busy toward the end of our meal. The drinks were delicious with a wide variety, even NA which was nice to see on a menu. We got the charcuterie board to start. There was more than enough on the board we ended up taking some home. We also got a gluten free pizza. The edges were crispy but the middle was soft and great flavors. Exactly what I expect from a gluten free pizza.

My boyfriend and I have come twice now for drinks and a salad and pizza to share, we love it here! This recent time we went we got the lemon 75, aviation, arugula salad, and margarita pizza. Everything was absolutely delicious! The first time visiting, we sat at the bar and had lovely conversation with the bartender all night, this certainly contributed to our desires to return! Lovely atmosphere as well

I highly recommend! We came for an early dinner and were very happy with the entire dining experience. The food and drinks were excellent, and the pizza was especially delicious. The atmosphere and building were gorgeous, and the owner enthusiastically shared the history of the building with us. The owner himself and the staff were very personable, and we are excited to return and try other items on the menu soon!
