Had the best french toast and wonderful cup of coffee . Service was fabulous as well. I'm a first timer who just happened to walk in and I'm so glad I did. read more

First Bite is a nice little spot for breakfast or lunch. There aren't that many seats, but we didn't have any trouble getting a table. The server was super nice and attentive. I got a beet burger which comes with a side of chips unless you opt to pay a bit more for something else. The burger looked a little small when it came out, but it was surprisingly filling. It was seasoned nicely and and the sauce was great. I liked the sweetness from the beets and corn, but I could see why some people might not agree, especially if they are used to meat burgers. The only thing that was a bit annoying was that the patty kept falling apart, but otherwise, it was really nice. Overall, I would come back, especially if I was eating with someone who is vegetarian/vegan. The food is healthy, fresh, and reasonably priced. read more

Cute and healthy place with lots to choose from. We came in for breakfast on a Sunday morning and it wasn't too crowded so we were seated immediately. The food is fresh and tasty. You can indulge your sweet tooth or stay on the healthy side. It's all really good. read more

Such a perfect lunch spot. Good whole food, unprocessed and fresh with a mix of excellent flavors. Service is great and consistent. Get takeout or dine in with table service. I hope they put the salmon avocado toast on the regular menu and never get rid of the tomato basil soup. Excellent bacon. Highly recommended. Fun vibe with plants. Bright front window and comfy seating. read more

Food was actually pretty good. This two star visit was due to service. Was seated quickly but sat for like 10 mins without anyone coming to take our drink order. Than after had to wait like 40 mins for our food. Was never checked on and I had to go check on our food order. Value would of been ok if service was good read more

I'm not sure why there's such a high review for this place. Normally, Ann Arbor has really good restaurants. First, it's overpriced for the food. Second, the food is only decent. There was a lot of rave for the "French toast." But when you compare it with other nearby breakfast places it was only decent. Oh, don't be fool by pictures from others. The half stack is just 1 slice of bread cut into half to make it 2 pieces for $8.75. The full stack is 2 slice of bread cut into half so get 4 pieces. The chicken burger is so bland. The Michigan salad with chicken patty was also so sad. So come with low expectations when you come here. read more

I've been meaning to come in for quite a while, but it usually has such a long wait at around 12. This time I came in Saturday at 10am and didn't have to wait long at all. The service is not the fastest but the waiters are super nice. I ordered the Indian masala omelette and it was really good. However, note that there are a lot of ginger so remember to request without it if you're not a huge fan. The French toast was sooo fluffy and had a strong vanilla flavor that u loved. Highly recommend. read more

Short and sweet review here! Dine in or take out this is THE most solid breakfast spot in AA!

Loved the food, the service (Abigail was so friendly and hospitable !) and the cozy, inviting vibe. We had the banana walnut waffles and vege omelette. So yummy and can't wait to try more things :) read more

This food is so bland I couldn't finish it. I feel like they didn't use any salt at all, and it can't even be for health reasons because everything was very oily. It was just onion to season everything. What saved the wrap was I added bacon and avocado but even then I could only eat about half. Everything was cooked well it's just a seasoning problem. The potatoes had the same issue with huge pieces of garlic and heavy on the oil, but no salt. The cold brew was also watered down. read more

First time in Michigan in the winter from Florida! Had our first breakfast here, we were greeted by lovely staff n the space was warm enough that you can sit and enjoy your meal. We were only worried not knowing a place n being from warmer temps lol. The food is made with super healthy ingredients, but was a little disappointed in the flavor it just didn't have any. read more

The food is good. The portions are good. It was not too busy we were there in the middle of the week on a Wednesday. It did take about 10 minutes to get someone to take our orders. Our total bill was $44.50 not including tip. We both ordered the two egg breakfast which came with multi-grain toast and your choice of potatoes. We also each ordered coffee. The service wasn't terrible but given the cost of a simple breakfast we would probably go someplace else next time. read more

Service was good, food was amazing but needed more salt on all the dish. Took Indian masala omlete and chicken burger, taste was amazing. Ambiance was like any other brunch place . Sorry was too hungry to take pictures read more

Everything is perfect about this little place. I ordered a masala omelette and it was sooooo good. Perfect amount of spice, onions tomatoes. The omelette also came with a whole grain bread ( delicious). This is a MUST HAVE. My husband had the banana walnut pancakes ( still thinking about them because they were that good). Portions are huge. I had the chai latte which was pure perfection and my husband had the cappuccino. Overall you can tell they only use clean and organic ingredients. Service was fast and the hostess was super sweet, she checked up on us many times to see if we were okay or if we needed anything else. Very cute decor and they have a white board where you are welcome to write anything. Ps: street parking read more

My friend and I stopped by First Bite for a late lunch this past Sunday afternoon. We were seated shortly after arriving and fortunately, the restaurant wasn't packed. Both of us were craving something sweet and savory, so we got both! FLUFFY FRENCH TOAST (FULL STACK) - 13.25 Four halves of french toast topped with powdered sugar with lots of fresh strawberries and blueberries. The brioche they used to make this toast was high quality. The toast was extremely fluffy and lightly sweetened by the powdered sugar and fruit, which was perfect for me. My friend added some maple syrup to his, but for those "not too sweet" people, I feel like it was perfect the way it was. This was so good, would highly recommend getting this here! SPINACH FETA OMELETTE - 13.50 Half of our omelette was just egg and spinach. The other half had a lot of feta. Overall, healthy tasting and something you could make at home yourself. Nothing to rave about, but still tasty. GINGER BLUEBERRY SMOOTHIE - 7 I wanted something other than water and opted for this smoothie. You can tell the tangy sweetness from the ginger along with the fruity berry explosion. Overall, solid smoothie and it wasn't too chunky (didn't feel like the seeds stuck to my teeth too much after). I'd recommend if you want to splurge. For Main Street, the pricing here is fair and the food we got were tasty. After tax and tip, we paid a bit more than 40 for this meal which is so worth! I would probably recommend just getting the sweet options in the future. Their french toast is definitely one I'll remember for next time. Their pancakes look amazing, too! I wish we had something like First Bite in the area I currently live in. We have a lot of restaurants with good brunch food, but none that are as casual and affordable. read more

What an awesome spot! Finally, making into First Bite after a much anticipated wait. Let's just say, although it was my first time in here, it will not be my last. The food was AMAZINGGGG! The customer service was AWESOMEEE! The atmosphere was very relaxed and cozy. I called ahead to make sure they actually had Gluten-Free options and the guy who answered the phone was delightful. He kept naming off food items from the menu. After the fourth option, I was sold on trying this place out. Parking can be a hassle. There's street parking and lot parking. Either way, you're going to have to walk a bit to get to the restaurant. Also, the restaurant closes at certain times. I highly recommend double-checking the hours before you make your way over. As for the menu, tons of great choices - you cannot go wrong. I tried the veggie omelette and gluten-friendly French toast. OMG!! Each dish was so flavorful, layered, and earthy tasting. The fruit on top of the French toast tasted like actual fruit - sweet, savory, and flavorful. As for the omelette - wowza! It was packed with veggies and oh so delicious cheese! Yumm!! I ordered the mango smoothie which unfortunately I did not get the chance to take a pic of. Order one of those too! So smooth, creamy, and it tastes delicious!!! The waitstaff - amazing! The gentlemen who took my order was very kind, polite, and fun! We ended up having a great little conversation and that's always great to see happy employees. It makes the food taste that much better. Overall, 5-stars for me because the food was healthy, there were plenty of gluten friendly options, parking was good, and the staff was excellent. I'll be back!! read more

Their burgers hit the spot every time! I always thought it was a bit pricey but worth every penny :)

Amazing food. Hidden gem. Family run and family made. It's definitely a must when in Ann Arbor. Really great pancakes!

The key word here is (slow). The ice tea was good had a cinnamon flavor to it. I ordered the turkey burger and it was really good. Place was clean but service slow. read more

Stopped in for breakfast sandwich and excellent potatoes today, and just want to give a shout-out for an excellent breakfast! The flavors were amazing, the coffee strong and robust, and the service was attentive and warm. Even though the restaurant was full, it was not noisy or annoying. The server did not rush me, despite my taking a 4-top all by myself. It's a seat-yourself restaurant, and that was the only seat open. Highly recommend! read more

Honestly, it wasn't flavorful, the beet burger was just sort of sweet without much flavor. The egg wrap was also really lacking, coffee was medium at best. I was really disappointed read more

Crowded on a Sunday at 10. They were understaffed. Good, has the turkey burger, French toast, omlette and the pancakes. It was generic. That is to say, it was not bad, but it was not exceptional. I would come here for the company I kept with the food and just the food itself. Having said that, cheerful busy venue with Service being friendly (but understandably rushed) read more

Very cute and unique restaurant in downtown. Right around the corner from public parking; quick 2-3 minute walk. Lots and lots and LOTS of gluten free and vegan items!!! Inside and outside seating. Closed at 3 (I think) so make sure you get there in time! read more

First Bite has consistently been one of the better breakfast delivery places in town for the last few years. My favorites now are the stone ground wheat pancakes (the banana walnut it are a particular fave) with a side of the crispy bacon. The prices are still fantastic and one pancake with the side of bacon is usually filling enough, though you can add a second for a few more bucks. If I'm feeling a little more peckish I'll get an egg a la carte, over easy, on the side (they package them in little soup cups so they stay safe and hot!). I still have to branch out and try lunch but how can I deviate from the breakfast when it's so good?? read more

This is a place that takes simple meals and makes them so flavorful you want to relive the moment again and again. So definitely will have to return. It has a diner vibe with friendly staff and bright music experience. I really enjoyed my time there and their beet burger patty was so good, like I've never had one before but was recommended and so glad I tried.

Eating here was a wonderful experience. They had very good food. Everything was fresh and well prepared and they have many vegetarian options which I appreciate. I took my uncle there for lunch and he loved it. I also want to give a special shout out to the business because some crazy hooligans with video cameras came and we're harassing customers and they handled it very well. I hope that people patronize this business because these people were obviously trying to intimidate people and scare clients away, so please eat here and enjoy the good food. read more

We had our first bites of the day at First Bite and they were awesome! I'd been hoping to try this establishment before COVID and finally had the chance today. We came in for a mid-late morning breakfast, arriving around 10:15ish. It was a Friday on a game day weekend, but we were seated right away. The interior is small but charming, especially in the front section where the light streams in the front windows. Lovely plants, decorative lighting and artwork along the back wall add a nice touch. Our server was (I believe) also the owner. He greeted us immediately and was amiable with us and the other diners. My husband and I wanted a smallish breakfast while still sampling a couple things from the menu. We chose to split the Ann Avocado toast (adding an egg over hard) and a half order of the fluffy French Toast. I also ordered a latte. The wait for our food was not terribly long, the coffees didn't come u til the food, butI think this is simply because most places are still short-staffed. My oat milk latte was hot and hit the spot. Most importantly, though, the food! Our Ann Avo Toast was plenty big to split into two pieces and tasted oh-so-yummy! The roasted tomato and goat cheese added a lovely balance of flavors to the toast. The French Toast arrived and yes - it was fluffy! Light, tasty bites with strawberries on top. Having a little of each gave us a perfect mix of sweet & savory. Although we don't require it, there were signs for gluten-free and vegan options. I would definitely recommend First Bite to others in search a great spot for breakfast. read more

Came here today after doing a menu deep-dive online, as one of my friends is gluten-free and vegetarian. When we arrived, it was about a 25-min. wait for an outdoor table, so we walked around downtown a bit, but it ended up being more like a 10-min. wait which was nice. PROS: -Food was very good. I had their avocado toast - they have two different kinds, Ann toast and Arbor toast, and I think mine was the Ann; it had big tomatoes, feta cheese, and avocado spread on multigrain bread. My friends both got the Arbor toast, one with an egg on hers and another with the gluten-free bread, which had cream cheese on it. I also had a side of the fingerling potatoes which was made with "clarified butter" which I believe is ghee? Which makes it vegan. My friend got the sweet potatoes with clarified butter and that looked great too. -Nice little outdoor area right on the Main St. sidewalk -Menu looked very healthy overall. CONS: -Obviously not their fault, but we were sitting right by a flowerbed, and there were a lot of bees. We ended up asking if we could move tables - as in, switch tables - but instead they PHYSICALLY moved our table, which was really nice customer service. -I am guessing they are understaffed, because we started lunch around 12:40 or 12:45pm and didn't get to leave until like 2:30pm. The waiter apologized a few times about this though (ie, we didn't receive glasses of water until like 1:15pm, and probably didn't get our food until 1:30 or 2pm). Overall everything was tasty here and prices are very reasonable too, so I'd come back another day, and possibly sit inside. My recommendation on the weekend is to come around 1pm because at 12pm it was very busy, but later on it was less busy inside. read more

This restaurant has a tendency to maliciously tease customer and suspected tampering with my food! I started ordering takeaway from them on February 12th and continued to do so until February 22nd, when I ordered toast and an English breakfast tea as usual. However, when I received the takeaway, I found that I had not been served a drink. At first, I thought that the delivery person had missed it, so I communicated this to the delivery person, but the delivery person denied this. After fruitless communication, I gave up. A few days later, I placed two more orders in a row, both of which included drinks, but both of which were precisely missing drinks! I don't think that all three different deliverymen above missed delivering my drinks. I don't think that a business that provides brunch as its name would be out of coffee and drinks for a week in a row and not choose to call me to inform me of this special situation. I also don't think that as a consumer, it is inappropriate to express dissatisfaction on the delivery platform because I did not receive the most basic full meal service that I should have received, or even worse, that the store retaliates maliciously. Attention to those who see this: When ordering at this restaurant, do not post a bad review on the platform. Be careful, they may secretly retaliate by tampering with your food. Please look at the photo, I found a spit-out blueberry in the lunch box I ate until the end. Please be careful not to suffer the same fate as me. read more

This will be the best review I have ever written on Yelp. FOOD: Excellent, home-made, organic SERVICE: Stellar. Never missed a beat. What sets this place apart any why you should run is the energy. Everyone in the staff is cooking and serving with their heart and you can taste it in the food. You are family even if you've never met. Special shout out to the owner who was having a heartfelt conversation with one of the regulars going through health issues. The level of care and compassion was noteworthy. So, come for the food and service if you are ready to join the family. I promise you will return. read more

I ordered an Indian bowl. I wasn't really a fan. My husband had a turkey burger sandwich which he really enjoyed. We both had the iced tea. It was really good tea.

Heard this was the best brunch in town and it did not disappoint! [Food] Excellent! We tried the breakfast wrap, beet burger, and fluffy french toast. Breakfast wrap was a stunning combination of eggs, mushroom, bell peppers, and more. I'm not usually one for veggie burgers, but the beet burger was delicious! The fluffy french toast was indeed fluffy and melt in your mouth goodness! [Service] Also excellent! We were seen right as we walked in the door and seated. Servers came and took our order promptly and brought our food asap. They checked on us to make sure the food was great, which it was, and fulfilled any requests we had. [Environment] Very clean! There's pop music playing on a stereo, lots of colors, also a whiteboard where anyone can draw or write things. Overall, great brunch! read more

Just what I was looking for in a breakfast place! We arrived at the restaurant at 11:50 on a Sunday morning, and the place was packed with a wait list of people standing outside on the sidewalk. That, to me is a strong indicator of good food, so we waited our turn. We ended up having to wait 25 minutes to get a table, which in A2 would be what I would expect for a good restaurant on a Sunday at noon. I ordered a veggie omelet with the fingerling potatoes. That came with multigrain toast and a l perfect amount of strawberry jam. All was cooked to perfection and my omelet was chock full of FRESH vegetables. So yummy!! My friend ordered the spinach and feta omelet with bacon. It was the first time that either of us had heard a waiter ask how the bacon should be served. Her bacon was crisped just as she liked. While it did take us 45 minutes to get our food after we ordered, the waiter offered and comped some mango juice for us while we waited. I could not fault the staff for taking so long as they were extremely BUSY and the wait staff was running like Forrest Gump the whole time we were there. I rounded down my review today because our waiter forgot to bring us the drinks we originally ordered and we ultimately had to ask for them. Also, I didn't know what the process was when I arrived to get on the waitlist, which turned out to be a help-yourself-list-of-names/number-of-people-in-your-party honor system. Just know if you show up at a time that was as busy as it was today, you will wait and will have to track someone down for assistance. Be patient: it will be worth the wait!! I will be back!! read more
