5 Ann Arbor Area Brunch Spots To Check Out ASAP

In order to make football game hangovers and Sunday brunch dates all run flawlessly this season, I've compiled a short go-to list for all my college town foodies. Bon appetit.

1. Wilma's

Wilma's is at the top of this list for a reason. The crisp, boho-chic aesthetic is perfect for Instagram brunch posting and relaxing with friends. It's absolutely worth the walking and parking of downtown Ann Arbor. Their menu spans everything from fun items such as tuna poke bowls to your familiar basics such as avocado toast. Wilma's has fun with their drinks as well, from blue pineapple smoothies with bee pollen to your classic latte and cappuccino. Overall, this is that place for Saturday brunch.

2. The Bomber Restaurant

The Bomber is a staple in Eastern Michigan University's own Ypsilanti. This is the place you will want on a Sunday morning after a day of tailgating the Eagles to victory. One word: portions. You will get every single penny's worth when you eat at the airplane themed diner. The menu has all your classics: buttermilk pancakes, steak and eggs, country skillets, custom breakfast specials, and all that good old American breakfast food. (Bonus: they have a student discount.) This is where to rally the squad before, during, and after football weekends.

3. Lab Coffee

The Lab is a unique downtown coffee joint. Hidden in Ann Arbor, the Lab loves to highlight coffee, music, and art for all to enjoy. Their mission to spark creativity and joy shared between customers is oh so welcoming. A relaxed atmosphere where they encourage you to order something new and move the furniture to your liking is perfect for holding up to conquer homework this fall. The Lab will even take care of your sweet tooth while you study and stress. Ever-changing macaron and froyo flavors will keep you sane all season.

4. Beezy's

Beezy's is a downtown Ypsi cafe that is focused on serving housemade food to make customers feel at home. This is the breakfast or brunch (lunch if you sleep in) date place. Whether that date is with your best friend, your significant other, or your lovely mom, Beezy's is it. Open until four in the afternoon, their array of breakfast sandwiches, homemade soups, and salads with fresh dressings keeps everyone happy through brunch.

5. Ollie Food and Spirits

Ollie is perfect for when your aunt and uncle come to visit you at college and you sort of have your life together, but are on the edge and need to show them around for the weekend... All scenarios aside, Ollie Food and Spirits is a winner for family brunch. Their breakfast menu includes numerous gluten-free and vegan options for everyone's dietary needs while still being the locally sourced, high-quality dishes served daily. From biscuits and gravy to vegetable market hash, to their ever-changing Sunday only brunch (and even coming back later for happy hour) Ollie Food and Spirits will fulfill all your family visit brunch needs.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
