Pacific Rim serving Mighty Good


Pacific Rim in Ann Arbor is now serving Mighty Good Coffee. How we got there needs more of an explanation...

Coffee, good food and bikes have seem to have a way of coming together. Several weeks ago, my wife and I were enjoying a few days without kids and visiting different restaurants in Ann Arbor each night. We decided on Pacific Rim for appetizers and dessert late on night. It was fantastic, made better by the great service. We finished with their warm chocolate cake and a cup of coffee. It's always hard not to ask, or at least investigate, where a restaurant gets their coffee. We asked and that turnedinto a conversation about coffee we don't usually get when eating out as Sysco or some other food conglomerate is often the answer. Our server not only knew the exact roaster, but was quite familiar with the flavor profile of the Colombian being served and how that complimented their menu. So, my wife hands him my card and says we're looking for help at the roaster which while true, wasn't how I planned on that conversation ending...

Two weeks later, our server, Michael, rides over to the roaster on a fixed-gear road bike, a retro Schwinn. Those of you who know me know that my love for coffee often competes with my love for bikes. So Michael and I didn't talk much coffee at first. But at the end, I took his number and invited him back for a formal coffee cupping the next week. Now, a month later, Michael is not only serving some of the best food in Ann Arbor several nights a week, he's immersed himself in the world of coffee too at the roaster on Monday and Thursday. He'll be helping out with special events too.

We hope you'll have the chance to visit Pacific Rim on W. Liberty between Main and Ashley the next time you are out for lunch, dinner or warm chocolate cake...

Coffee Lab Update



The new Mighty Good Coffee Lab is making progress. Yesterday, we took delivery of the new counter top. It's a beautiful maple butcher block that was made just up the road by B&B Heartwoods.

We'll be making the finishing touches and be ready for visitors in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!

Cheese and Coffee in Tecumseh


A few weeks ago, I got a call from Erika Aylward at the Boulevard Market in Tecumseh, MI. She and her husband John own the market along with The Four Corners Creamery where they make their own cheese. Erika had gotten a sample of Mighty Good Coffee and wanted to visit the roaster. We set an appointment and she and John came with a bag of their own cheeses for me to try. What a flavor fest! A few days later, they placed an order for the Market and are now the latest addition to the Mighty Good family. I made a trip to their market with their first order and had dinner at the Evans St. Station which also uses some of the cheeses from Boulevard. We ordered a wide variety of dishes; duck, Scottish salmon, white fish, and kids chicken fingers. Every dish was perfect. It was a fantastic way to end an evening trip to Tecumseh. Between Erika and John's market and creamery and the fine dining experience, it's well worth putting Tecumseh on your list of places to visit in Michigan for great food.
