Was excited for the reopening of Juicy. They still haven't worked out their kitchen--I waited 50+ minutes for some veggie hash and they forgot one of the eggs. The food is still pretty good and The smoothie was great, but not good enough for the inexplicable wait. read more

A great vegetarian option in AA, I love the range of options and the staff were very helpful. I got a vegan burrito, the lavender honey latte, and a carrot cupcake. The food was good and the latte wasn't too bad. There's a few tables inside and a lot of outdoor seating. The only downside is how expensive everything is, a little too pricey. If you're willing to spend though not a bad stop! read more

We arrived here after the start of the midday brunch crowd. We liked that's it's located at its own plaza and thus it has its own parking lot. The Scottish Oat cakes looked good here for me. My husband was feeling like more an omelet or skillet. read more

We found recs for this spot on Reddit from locals, we were a bit shocked by how small it is, but thankfully a table opened for us. We were impressed with the friendliness of the staff, the quality of offerings for Vegans/Vegetarians/health conscious. Went got two iced lattes - sea salt maple (iced, whole) and cardamom brown sugar (hot, oat) and were very impressed - the best espresso drinks we had in our whole 3 days in AA. We split the Smoke Salmon Benedict. I enjoyed it, my bf was not as impressed, he wished it had been warmer/more savory and less herby. I really liked the herby flavor - so to each their own. Having to use the restroom here might feel a little odd - you are guiding back to it through the kitchen, but the staff are communicative to say "guest coming through." Overall, a small, seemingly well-loved local spot that I hope continues to do well and maybe can expand in the future! read more

So good! The food has been delicious every time I've visited and the staff is always friendly and helpful. Particularly enjoy it when it's nice enough to eat outside on the patio read more

Gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarians look no further!!! This healthy breakfast cafe offers so many yummy options for all diets. For being a smaller establishment, I was amazed with their menu selection. Highly encourage the JK Benedict and the cinnamon vanilla latte. Location and seating: tucked in a tiny strip mall in Ann Arbor; not on campus! Don't get it twisted. It's right next to a speedway gas station so that's your landmark. They have minimal indoor seating that could make you feel very crammed during a morning or lunch rush. They have more outside seating than indoor; which makes it a bit hard to do during winter months. They do have patio heaters though. This is my only reason for the reduced star. They need a little more indoor seating room; especially for being in cold Michigan. I would ultimately go with a curbside order. Food: oh my gosh....DELICIOUS!!!! I am in love with their coffee. Totally hooked. And it is amazingly healthy. They use local procedure and put effort into their craft. It's to die for. Staff: SO kind!!!! They didn't just toss your food on the counter; she walked it out to me while I waited at the table. So sweet and pleasant. Parking. Private lot with more parking around the back and corner. read more

Just had our breakfast here based on the reviews yet quite disappointed, here are few notes - for such a place claiming to be healthy food surprisingly there was no even brown sugar (forget about coconut sugar) served unless asked and they brought a a small bowl - salads as side dish were not fresh at all - Americano was little better than hot water Apart from those staff is very welcoming and kind which is a big plus read more

Hands down, they make the best tarragon chicken salad sandwich I've ever had! Absolutely delicious! Everything else was delightful too! You order at the counter and the food is brought to you. It's tiny inside so most people take away or eat outside. The staff was friendly and helpful! read more

I just went here this morning with my husband for brunch. Everything tasted natural and homemade. The service was great as well. I had the breakfast burrito (solid choice with bacon) and he had the baked eggs (unique and flavorful with spice). I had the iced black tea and he had the iced latte- both were amazing as well and smooth. This place is a gem! Limited seating inside but it wasn't too busy while there! read more

I've written it in other reviews but one of the things I miss most about dining out is breakfast and brunch. A hearty plate of eggs, pancakes, and more...that I didn't have to make? Perfection! Juicy Kitchen was one of our go-to brunch places before the pandemic and now it's become one of our favorite takeout places. They have a really easy online ordering system on their website and curbside pick up to boot. It's nice to have something healthy for breakfast, too! Last time we ordered I went with the breakfast quesadilla with a side of bacon (I LOVE their bacon) and a seasonal special--the vegan pumpkin cinnamon roll. Oh and one of their cinnamon lattes. It's was all fantastic. Takeout breakfast can be hit or miss but there's is a real hit. My only complaint? I wish they would put their oatmeal back on the menu! A big bowl of their tasty oatmeal with a side of bacon and a latte? Truly one of my favorite breakfasts! But everything I've ever had on the menu has been really excellent. read more

Wonderful local breakfast/lunch place in Ann Arbor. Excellent vegan and vegetarian options--had the hash with tempeh and it was delightful. Also ordered the pina-kale-ada smoothie and it was so good I had to order a 2nd for the road. People are so sweet too, they brought out blankets for the crisp fall weather while we dined outside. Excited to try other items on the menu. read more

I guess there's a reason for the long waits here on weekends. Delicious food, affordable, in a cute homey little space. Came here with a good friend and enjoyed our time despite being pretty cramped. Had a delicious chai latte and a bacon egg scramble so full of flavor I could hardly believe it. A fresh salad and delicious toast and jam to accompany. What could be more perfect? read more

Trying a new lunch spot is always a treat, and after a tip from a friend, another friend and I headed to Juicy Kitchen to check the place out. Tucked away in a small strip mall at the corner of Maple and Miller Rds, Juicy Kitchen nonetheless has a large parking lot with spaces extending around the building. After cracking our windows and putting up our windshield shades due to the extreme heat, we headed into the restaurant to peruse the menu. We were greeted by a friendly employee who promptly took our order. Great minds think alike and we both decided on the JK Club before snagging a seat at a bistro table outside. It was a pleasant day in the shade, and in no time our sandwiches arrived. The first thing I noticed was how fresh the ingredients looked, and the taste didn't disappoint either. The sandwich was on a delicious hearty bread that packed a satisfying flavor and texture to the food. We went omnivore on our visit but there are a variety of vegan and vegetarian options for those who prefer. I'll look forward to our next visit to Juicy Kitchen and trying something new and delicious! read more

After attempting to visit over Memorial Day weekend only to find that they were closed for the holiday :(, finally made it out a few weekends ago. Although carnivores ourselves, my sister and I like to try vegetarian/vegan spins on classic dishes, so Juicy stood out to us. The location is interesting - in an unassuming strip mall, which is nice from parking standpoint (pro tip: free parking) and nice as it may be missed if you don't know about it. The place is pretty tiny, with a small amount of indoor seating and a few seats outside. We arrived ~10:30 AM on a Sunday, and luckily only waited in line for ~10 minutes before placing our order (order at the counter, they bring your food to you) and were seated without an issue. JK's menu is filled with so many solid options, the majority of them being vegetarian or vegan, which is rare. I love a good eggs benedict, so I had my eye on the JK Benny. Their take is on a corncake base, which actually had pieces of corn in the bread, and the eggs sit upon a bed of spinach, mushrooms, roasted peppers, and tomatoes - a little spice to them, but truly excellent flavors. The traditional poached eggs were topped with a goat cheese sauce rather than hollandaise, which I loved - the semi-sweetness of the cheese cut the spice from the veggies and brought the plate together. Savored every last bite! It also came with a simple side salad, which was excellent as well - featured fresh fruit on the lettuce, which was a nice touch. My sister got the same dish and was equally as content as I was! JK is a great hidden gem in AA, and offers a variety of "healthy" and plant-based foods. Ranking as one of the best eggs benedicts I've had, would highly recommend brunch here to try it for yourself! read more

Super cute little cafe! Lots of fresh options, lots of healthy options especially if u follow certain diets, they are very accommodating. The classic breakfast was good, yummy potatoes and delicious toast. Poached eggs were cooked a bit more than i'd prefer but nonetheless it was still good. Susan's breakfast was also good from what I heard. The iced matcha and iced mocha lattes were also both delicious. Great food and vibe, kind staff, I would definitely come back!!! read more

If I could give 0 zero stars, I would. I have been a loyal customer to them for over 7 years. This place just gave my girlfriend, a vegan for over 5 years, a burrito that had bacon in it and of course she didn't realize that there was bacon in it until she took the first bite because she trusted them to do their job and prepare the food the way she asked them to and honor the fact that she's vegan. She was so disgusted and was kindly asking for a refund of the burrito and the owners refused to be understanding and rectify their mistake and instead chose to lose loyal customers. We will never go there again and you shouldn't either! read more

Amazingly good!, very chill vibe friendly, helpful service. We had breakfast and I ordered #2 breakfast slider. The sandwich bread looked dry at fist however, looks were deceiving, it was very moist and a perfect compliment to the eggs and zesty sauce. I just might order the #3 slider (with bacon) next time. My wife order the BLT and she was very satisfied. FYI the BLT came loose in a basket. While I ordered a coffee which was a good blend my wife took her time with the smoothie menu and ordered an absolutely fantastic Mexican Chocolate...1 word... WOW... deliciousness with a spicy kick. read more

Lovely vegan friendly place to have a meal. Due to covid I wasn't able to check out the inside so I can really only speak to the food in this review. They did have some picnic tables to sit at outside, I think that's worth mentioning. I got the chilaquiles, which were just as tasty as they sounded on paper. I subbed a different cheese for the feta but I'm sure it's delicious as it comes. Also got to try the baked tempeh as well, which went had great texture and seasoning. They've got some baked goods for sale so that's hard to pass up. The quinoa peanut butter cookie had a softer consistency than most cookies I've had, but taste wise hit the spot. Overall the owners were super nice / engaging and the food was fresh & flavorful. I love the mission of this place and the execution. Hopefully I can go back sometime and check out the inside decorum. Until then, without question the food gets my stamp of approval! It's only a ride.... read more

Great farm to table feel! I love how the meal is packed full of vegetables and healthy proteins, leaving you feeling super full, satisfied, and energized for the rest of the day. No post-brunch crash! The meal is very simple, but you can taste the freshness of each ingredient. Even a simple egg tastes delicious. Overall, recommendations: - The place to bring people who are suspicious of healthy food tasting bland or leaving them hungry - Avoid the lattes: watered down and a bit disappointing - The sandwiches are a must for lunch, but pick the bowls for a brunchier kind of day - A bit of California-style meal Seating may be a bit limited. The price of a great place! read more

This place sneaks up on you when you are driving up. It's right after the gas station. Small inside so not much for seating but the food and coffee were delicious. The #3 sandwich was very unique and good. I thought it might not be enough so I ordered a side of potatoes and then it was all too much. Sandwich was plenty big enough read more

I drove a long way to try something new and even though the food tasted ok I had to give 3 stars for the following reasons. - Using Old vintage cups and plates for serving (These could have lead in them! I hope I catch the attention of the owners; this is such a huge health risk coming from a healthy eating spot??? Cancer is on the rise! no need to be serving food and beverages from old gold rimmed plates sucha a health Hazzard! please invest in new sets of plates and cups! - Pricing for a small portion of food is a bit steep! -Service was decent read more

Very tight little space, but quaint and homely. Inside you'll find a mix of high tops, tables and counter seating. On the wall are two very large chalk boards scribbled with breakfast/brunch and lunch options from omelets, sandwiches, soups and salads. Feeling a little fresh I went for the JK Greek Salad and at first skeptical I wiped the plate clean. Although the price ($12ish) for my plate felt a little steep it was loaded with artichokes, roasted red pepper, pickled beets (YESSSS, they should sell these individually) sprouts, chickpeas, fetta, cukes and lettuce topped with a homemade dressing. Coffees, sweet treats and tea also available. From my understanding Juicy Kitchen is always busy. There is NO Bathroom. read more

Juicy Kitchen - JK Greek Salad - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

We were on our way to Kalamazoo and wanted to grab breakfast in Ann Arbor. We wanted a change of scenery, so we went to Juicy Kitchen! You're welcome by a greeter who will tell you where to sit and how the whole ordering process goes. You order your food and then sit down. Make sure you're listening carefully, there will be someone calling out your name and when it's crowded, it's difficult to hear. They had outdoor seating as well, which looks like is dog friendly! (Saw a cute little frenchie sitting on the patio when we were leaving). They have so many options for meat lovers, vegetarians, and vegans galore. Coffee options as well and cold brew (something my boyfriend loves). I would not bring more than 4-6 people here for a table. It's a very small area, that gets crowded quickly. 2-4 people per table seem ideal. Regardless, definitely check this place out if you're in the area. read more

First Breakfast place I love who does not have hash browns. haha,,, no really!!! Hands down, amazing food, amazing Menu, much healthier and fresh, they serve only whole grain bread. Super friendly service. The Menu shouts "VEGITERIAN". Love it. the menu is fixed but the ingredients change everyday. places get a bonus point form me when they use locally grown ingredients. The place is super small. we can probably squeeze in 15 people. so Sunday breakfasts, expect a loooong wait. it was a cold and snowy day, she offered some coffee while we wait and a warm blanket for waiting outside. now who can complain after this. or you could go to your car and they will call your cell phone. we ordered Coffee: standard, good. JK Benedict : Awesome must try, they had some kind of radish as the season vegetable for that day. crunchy and awesome Grilled Veggie & Cheese with the soup (tomato basil) for my 7 yr old son, The soup was the highlight. amazingly flavorful, the grill cheese was better than the average grill cheese. Grilled Eggplant Sandwich: amazing as well, juicy eggplants with crunchy peppers awesome combinations. Everything was served with a salad with a special dressing. initially I was not so excited for the salad, but it was good as well. was able to taste the freshness. if you want a tour of the kitchen ( which was very well maintained) ask for the loo. ;) I would drove 20 miles to come to this place, and I would do it again. we love this place. read more

A really cute & cozy place with excellent friendly service and a large variety of healthy food & beverage options suited for all (especially those who are vegetarian, vegan, or gluten free)! It's always a bonus when there's parking for a restaurant in Ann Arbor! Just be prepared to wait a little since the place is small and can easily get crowded. If you're bigger or have a bigger group, it can also be a little tough. Although the servers were all lovely, it took them quite some to time to get back to us to take our orders with a lot of people waiting in the restaurant for seats etc (but they were quick about taking beverage orders when were first seated). We had a group of 6 and called ahead to reserve seats, I advise those who don't want to wait to do the same! I ordered the Baked Eggs (you can switch eggs for tempeh) - sunny side up eggs over sweet potatoes, kale caramelized onions w/. sun dried tomato vinaigrette swerved w/. Whole grain toast and a side salad. The sunny side up eggs were a little toooo runny for me - I like a runny yolk but I had runny egg white on my eggs too. I loved the sun dried tomato vinaigrette and I appreciated the fruit in the side salad. The toast was also delicious as I love bread/crackers with grains and seeds. Some of the sweet potatoes were still a little hard, but the kale and onions weren't bad. Two of my friends ordered the JK Benedict, which looks delicious! However, out of the 4 poached eggs at least 3 of them were overcooked. I didn't see any yolk running out of those eggs... All in all, I will still give this place another go and try some other things on the menu because afterall they do have really good service and a wide range of healthy food options. read more

Super fast and friendly service, cute and cozy place with generous portions and a healthy menu. - DIY Omelette (2.5 stars): wasn't a huge fan of the texture of the eggs, almost felt like egg beaters. Kale and mushrooms good/not too spicy or oily, quite bland. Grilled chicken was a bit too dry. Toast was good - Oat Cakes (2 stars): not a fan of the texture, a bit too mushy for me and a lot of the fruit it came with was quite sour - Strawberry mango smoothie (2.5 stars): frozen fruit and skim milk is healthy, but I just wasn't a huge fan of real milk since I haven't had it in a while. TLDR: decent healthy food, very friendly service read more

Ehhhhh I wanted to like this spot...after already driving to one breakfast spot that was closed until 9 and multiple others rated high on yelp also closed on a Sunday it led us to juicy kitchen. I ordered the simple breakfast slider..it's sad when the fruit on the side is your favorite portion of your breakfast. I just felt the bread on the breakfast slider just overpowered and honestly not only was it super thick...I didn't love the taste of it. My husband got a omelet...no ham so he got chicken sausage...it was good but the side salad with the omelet was a weird addition, especially for my husband who is a meat and potatoes kinda guy. I got the cinnamon vanilla latte and that was very good and super cute with the art of top. I guess overall I just felt like everything had all these unnecessary twists, like I understand wanting to be unique and offering unexpected dishes...this just didn't do it for me personally. read more

I'm not wild about brunch - it's always pretty average and it's usually not enough food to replace both breakfast and lunch. But Juicy Kitchen was very very good. Quick disclaimer: don't come here if you have a large group (more than 2-4 people) and it's not warm outside. There's very limited seating inside (smaller than most coffee shops I've been to) and it'll take you a bit to get a seat. I ordered the JK Benedict, a dish with poached eggs over corn cakes with a roasted red pepper/goat cheese sauce. Oh, and mushrooms and sundried red tomatoes!! It was insanely good - the corn cakes were a great base for the poached eggs and the greens were a nice complement to the meal. I also ordered the Indian Spice Latte and it was alright, probably not worth the $5 I spent on it. TL;DR - Definitely come here, definitely order the JK Benedict. read more

Juicy Kitchen - JK Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

4.5 stars Juicy kitchen is located in a tiny strip on Maple street next to a gas station. When I walked in, I was kind of taken by surprise by how tiny this place is. It is definitely a local cafe. There are only a hand full of tables and 4 seats available at the counter. We ordered our food at the counter and took one of those 4 seats. I had the goat cheese quiche and my friend had the vegan quesadilla with seitan. Everything was under $10. The quiche was a nice portion and came with a side salad. The quesadilla came with a TON of seitan. I couldn't believe how stacked it was. Service here was super nice. I just wish there was a bit more space for seating. Maybe they will expand in the future. *Not good for large groups. Parking: Free in strip parking read more

Cute breakfast and brunch place hidden in the west side of A2. I've been here a few times, and every time I have gotten the JK Benedict. What makes the JK Benedict pretty unique and amazing is the fact that instead of English muffins, they put corn cakes! Corn cakes are an incredible bed for poached eggs, and they turn out to be pretty delicious. Moreover, the hollandaise sauce is made from cashew and red pepper--it's so creamy and incredible! The Benedict itself is $11-something and you can add sausage or/and potato hash to the meal for an extra cost. Recently came here with friends and one friend got the Salmon Benedict with a pesto-based hollandaise (so good!--it was a special on the menu) and another friend got the Hot mess, which was also delicious. I am not vegetarian, vegan, or gluten free, but this place seems to be a heaven for folks who have these dietary necessities. Overall, they are a restaurant they serves healthy food, unlike a lot of greasy breakfast places. You might wanna come here early over the weekends to get a good seat. The place is pretty small and everyone wants to brunch here over the weekend. They have a few outdoor seating options, which is not feasible for the winter. Plenty of parking in that strip mall-esque area. I give this place four-point-five stars to five stars for the food, and overall four stars (given the difficulty of finding seating over the weekends). read more

This place is a GEM. The eggs Benedict and the breakfast burrito were 10/10. I already can't wait til we pass through again. The staff were so friendly. We had the best experience. I don't leave many yelp reviews, but I HAD to leave one for this treasure of a restaurant. read more

Cute brunch spot in the middle of a small strip mall in the suburbs of Ann Arbor! Glad my friends and I came across this place on Yelp on our visit here. Though there was a wait around noon on Sunday, the turnover rate was pretty decent and we got seated outside within 15 minutes. It's really crowded in the cafe since the space is tiny, but they definitely make it work! Great selection of breakfast fare of both sweet and savory items - a big plus is the fact that they include whether the meal is vegetarian, or can be made vegan as well as gluten free so they're super friendly to those with dietary allergies/restrictions. I ordered the baked tempeh with avocado and a poached egg and it was plenty of food to tide me over for several hours. Service is pretty good considering how busy they are as they'll come in and out to refill coffee / water as well as check in on your meal. Glad to have found this gem :) read more

Fresh ingredients, cute ambiance, perfect for breakfast! This was my first time coming to Juicy Kitchen. I don't live on the west side of Ann Arbor, so I didn't even know this place existed! I finally went there with a friend of mine who does live on OWS and we came here for Sunday breakfast. It has free parking out front, which is great, but the space is VERY small! There are a few tables and a few taller tables, and a few seats at a counter, but that's about it. We had to put our name in, but our wait was only about 10-15 minutes - not too bad. While waiting, the staff offered to take our drink order so we got some teas and then waited outside on their patio tables. They provide blankets and there's a heater on their patio so that was nice! One word to describe their menu is: FRESH Everything sounded good and I was so happy to see many options were vegetarian and could even be made vegan. My eyes zeroed on "Benedict" so i ordered the JK Benedict. It was a unique spin on the classic. Two corn cakes (instead of English muffin) topped with poached eggs and instead of a hollandaise sauce, it was a goat cheese sauce. This was fantastic. The eggs were perfect, the corn cakes crispy on the outside and still softer on the inside, and the sauce was so flavorful and paired well with the dish. It came with a side of greens and fruit. This wasn't heavy at all like some Benedict breakfasts can be. My friend and I left satiated and already planning to come back and try out their lunch options soon! The staff was so friendly and sweet and everything I saw people ordered looked so delicious! Definitely give this place a try. read more

This was my first time here and I got the Breakfast Burrito, it was very very good I would definitely recommend with the chicken sausage.
