    Cheesy hash brown bagel with smoked salmon shmear. Excellent!
    Charmaine C.

    You know those tests that require you not to eat/drink up to half an hour before them? Realistically that means you won't be eating or drinking if you're supposed to check in at 6.30am, and you were planning to wake up, get dressed and port over in a hurry after waking at 6am. So I was pleased to see this bagel shop! I had walked through the hospital cafeteria beforehand: where everything looked somewhat unappealing because of the way it was laid out in huge batches, though prices seemed good there. In contrast, this bagel shop had a line of people waiting with many of them dressed in scrubs. So I thought, it must be worth the wait. I was really impressed by their cheesy hashbrown bagel with smoked salmon shmear. Toasted, it came perfectly crispy outside and soft inside. The smoked salmon shmear was a little salty (as most smoked salmon things tend to be) but not unbearably so. I would be happy to get more bagels here in the future, but for one thing - the line for ordering and waiting for food (with maybe about 10 people in the line in front of me max) prob took about 20min or more total. So... only patronize this place if you know you have the time to spare.

    Einstein at the UofM Hospital is alright if you're looking for an alternative to the cafeteria (which isn't bad!). I typically come to pick up a quick snack, like a parfait or bagel. I LOVE their cinnamon sugar bagel with honey almond cream cheese. It's like eating dessert for breakfast. =9 With that said, even though I have quite a sweet tooth, I'm not too fond of their sweet coffee, particularly their vanilla hazelnut latte. "Vanilla hazelnut" ...sounds incredible right? I've actually gotten this latte multiple times to see if I can catch it made well, or if I change my mind about it. But no. It tastes like drip coffee with syrup; there's no richness to it that should be in a latte. I didn't like their white chocolate mocha either -- same complaints. Their regular mocha is okay. So yes, I come for a quick bite, but not for my caffeine fix.

    Located in the cafeteria area of UofM Hospital, this place is hustling with thousands of bagel eaters in and out every day. Some of the staff have been there for years and will greet you by name which is just an extra morning perk. Because of the large volume of customers, bagels can run low or out more often than at other Einstein locations. Bagel smears run from sweet to salty and they stopped having peanut butter as an option due to allergies. Besides the plane-jane bagel, you may want to consider their hot dog wrapped in an asiago cheese bagel or their pizza bagel (both of which are delicious but probably not that good for you). Fresh oj, smoothies, lattes and their signature line of coffees (the hazelnut is divine) are just a few of the drinks you could order. There are a few tables to eat at but not many. You can always move to the wider seating area of the hospital cafeteria which is just outside of Einsteins.

    Great Brunch, good Lunch, but menu could use more variety!…read more Savas is an adorable restaurant with a really welcoming atmosphere; the space is cute, the environment is lovely, and the staff is genuinely amazing every single time. My first visit was for brunch, and it completely won me over. The buffet had a wonderful variety of food, the mimosas and cocktails were delicious, and for the quality, variety, and service you get, the price point is very fair. I left thoroughly impressed. I came back for lunch excited to experience it again, and while the staff was just as warm and the environment just as great, however, this time the lunch menu didn't quite live up to my expectations. They offer salads, sandwiches, mac and cheese and similar American-style comfort food, which is totally fine, but for a restaurant of this caliber I was hoping for something a little more exciting. I ended up ordering a salad with added shrimp, which was absolutely delicious, and a pomegranate rosemary lemonade that was incredibly refreshing - perfect for a summer day-. But if you're not in the mood for sandwiches, salads, or mac and cheese, your options are pretty limited. My suggestion: keep doing everything you're doing because the hospitality and atmosphere are truly special, but consider expanding the lunch and dinner menu for those looking for a heartier or more diverse meal.

Got the raspberry tiramisu which had a great presentation but I'm not really a fan of raspberry mousse. Wish they had the cheesecake. The ambiance is great for date night vibe.

    Such a cute place in the middle of a quaint neighborhood!…read more We came on a cloudy and drizzly day and it was still nice to eat outside. (Only outside is stroller friendly. Inside has about 4 stairs). We ordered the Corned Beef Hash, Breakfast Burrito, and Honey Cinnamon latte. We wanted to order more but it would be too much so instead we will return! The staff are very friendly and nice. The outside has umbrellas so it's perfect for rainy and sunny weather. The corned beef hash was delicious! It had some crispyness and great flavor! The breakfast burrito was also delicious and not too big but very filling! The honey cinnamon latte was very tasty too. Nothing disappointed! Parking is only hard but we managed to find a spot not too far away.

    Based on 4 visits…read more This is a nice little place a little to the southwest of downtown Ann Arbor in a neighborhood, adding an immense amount of charm. You order at the counter then they seat you. The atmosphere is very cozy, rustic and cool. You can imagine being in a commercial almost. Service was friendly all visits. Food selections are brunch focused with breakfast favorites like traditional breakfast, breakfast burrito, Pancakes, and more. There are some sandwiches as well. Food quality was good for most items we had over the visits with just a few average (not bad but not great). They stop by for coffee refills and whatever you need. Definitely worth a try! It's become a go to place for us.

Per other Yelp recommendations I see, I added cheddar, marinated tomato, and breakfast sausage. Hash brown on the side to round out a very filling and delicious breakfast! Small and bright interior, with maybe about ten smaller counter seats. There are a couple small benches outside as well. Sandwiches are hefty enough that I bet they hold up well taking them to go as well. This is the type of place I would bring out of town friends to to maximally show off what we have to offer here in Ann Arbor. Really delicious! Also, plenty of street parking directly in front on a Saturday at 8/8:30am, which is nice! I normally don't even try for street parking on Liberty since it tends to be so packed. Pays to be an earlier bird! There is also the very nearby Maynard/Thompson parking structure.

You order at the counter and eat on the go or sit by the windows to enjoy your meal. The cashier was kind enough to provide recommendations for first timers. The eggs are the jammiest and most perfect soft boiled eggs you can find in Ann Arbor. Highly recommended getting your sandwich on a brioche bun! They just started a rewards program where you can come back after your first visit to get a free hash brown. I will definitely be coming back!

    My friend had high praise for Spencer, so I was excited to try it out when I was in Ann Arbor. My…read morefriends and I arrived 10 min before they opened for brunch and there was no wait, though the restaurant filled up quickly behind us. The space is rustic and simple, with fresh cut flowers on the tables. A majority of the walls were occupied by floor to ceiling racks of wine, as that is their award-winning product. Their brunch menu changes weekly and is extremely tight and cohesive. My party ordered the entire food menu sans olives (2/3rds of us don't like them), and two plates of the potato pelmeni. My thoughts below: Amaro Apertivo: mocktail based on the namesake dessert wine. This tasted like candy but not too sweet, and we enjoyed it a lot. Lovage soda: Google told me that lovage is an herb that tastes like citrus and celery. I am a huge fan of drinks with a twist, and I'd say that celery is a pretty big one! Crisp and not too sweet, the citrus flavor definitely balanced the Celery, and both flavors kept the soda fresh and crisp. This was great paired with the rest of the herbaceous menu and balanced out the richness of some later dishes, though it's not necessarily something I would enjoy by itself without appropriate accompaniment. Pickled egg, fried shallot, dill: I had only heard of pickled eggs in the context of strange British food on YouTube, so I was a little hesitant about this dish. The concept of an egg floating in vinegar brine is a bit off-putting, but once I powered through that mental roadblock, I found myself enjoying this bite. The egg is perfectly cooked with a slightly jammy yolk, and the shallots added a much needed crunch. Dill enhanced the pickled taste while cutting through the richness of the fried shallots and yolk. Sourdough focaccia, whipped butter: Never in my life have I ever made focaccia this tall. This focaccia was raised by a loving family and nurtured to develop a golden, non-greasy, crisp crust protecting its tender, pillowy innards. The classic sourdough tang is a novel addition to each bite, and cuts through the creamy, whipped butter to keep me wanting more. I could eat a whole pan of this alone, but we had many more plates to sample. Saucisson sec salami, pickled carrot: This is a simple, charming, carb-free mini charcuterie; place a slice of salami, some of the mozzarella (next dish on this list, below), and its oil atop a pickled carrot base, and you are in for a perfectly balanced treat. My favorite part of this dish is the fact that the salami was incredibly savory, and not too salty. The more you chew it, the more the flavors express themselves, so be sure to chew slowly and thoroughly! The crunch of the crisp, dill-pickled carrot and the soft chewiness of the mozzarella give each bite a lot of good contrast. Mozzarella, green garlic oil: Fresh, hand-stretched mozzarella is something that even I, a notorious cheese-hater, can't say no to. It is not sharp or funky at all, nor is it too salty. Most of the flavor comes from the green garlic and olive oil smothering each bite. Fresh and floral with a little bite, this was delicious with the salami and carrot above. Potato pelmeni, asparagus green adjika, sour cream: Given the portion size of the previous dishes (small, tapas vibes), we were not expecting the platter full of double carb heaven that met our eyes. And we ordered two!!! This is a gorgeous dish with plump, quarter-sized pelmeni nestled in a vibrant green asparagus and herb sauce with a dollop of sour cream on top. This was a classic comfort dish with a verdant twist! The pelmeni were stuffed full of creamy potato, and the dough was cooked perfectly al dente for a satisfying, pillowy bite. The sauce was homey but packed with zippy flavor and tender asparagus. The major feedback I have for this dish is that it was way too salty, to the point where the flavor was a tad too sharp because of it. Lettuces, radish, pumpkin seed, caraway vinaigrette: It was through this dish that I found out what caraway tastes like and through this dish that I figured out that I'm not a caraway fan. The lettuces were bitter and when combined with the slightly medicinal caraway taste, wasn't for me. The crunch of the radish and the nutty pumpkin seeds were great in this dish though! Fennel cornmeal biscotti, rhubarb compote, cream: This was a single biscotti with generous dollops of compote and cream. We were quite full when this dish was set in front of us, so I was frankly relieved for the small portion size. The fennel in the biscotti paired wonderfully with the tart rhubarb, and the rich cream rounded things out nicely without tipping into cloying territory. The savory cornmeal complimented the fennel and provided additional depth of flavor. A great small bite to end on! Overall, Spencer's strong fundamentals allow them to take risks with in-season local produce. Some things worked for me and some didn't, but I would love to come back to see what they can create next!
