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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
