Such a cute place in the middle of a quaint neighborhood! 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. read more

Based on 4 visits. 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. read more

Love love love this place! Everything I try/tried is truly amazing! Local neighborhood gem that is a must try! They have options for everyone, no matter of your palate. Service is top tier and the ambiance is perfect! If you haven't been, you are missing out! Recommend breakfast burrito, pancakes, brown sugar sea salt latte, and corned beef hash. read more

Solid breakfast spot with limited seating and many rules. But they were very friendly about them at least. They will not seat you without all members of your party being present but that makes sense given how small the spot it and they keep a close eye on people leaving. The lines get really long on the weekends. I tried the breakfast biscuit with sausage and it was solid. Not enormous so you could definitely try a side also. read more

The Jefferson Market - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

I came across a Facebook post about this breakfast/biscuit gem in Ann Arbor as I was waiting for my hubby to wake up after spending the night in AA. He was agreeable to try a new place even when I told him it was in a residential area and we might have to park at the school across the street. I didn't know about the line. It was outside the door when we got there. We were surprised when we got inside that it snaked around the tables. I needed coffee. I wish I could have ordered coffee while we waited, hence the not perfect rating. The line and length of time I had to wait for caffeine not withstanding, this is the best breakfast we have had in a long time! The entire experience was charming. The servers were very friendly, patient, and good with dealing with moving people around in tight quarters/turning over tables. The antique decor is fun to look at while waiting in line. The honey cinnamon latte was divine. The blueberry pancakes with lemon curd was a blue & yellow celebration of flavors made complete with a side of bacon. The biscuits were everything they said they were. Go ahead and order that blueberry muffin and whatever else looks good in the bakery case & a bag of biscuits with butter & homemade jam (we got a mix of blueberry & pear) for later. The best part of visiting Ann Arbor is all the delicious food we take home! read more

Classic, sooner diner-style brunch. This place gets busy, so be prepared to wait, but the service is pretty fast so you're usually seated working a reasonable amount of time. The staff is warm and friendly. read more

The Jefferson Market - breakfast burrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Cozy spot for a quick breakfast. Came on a Friday morning and were seated right away. You order at the counter and they bring your food to your table. It's a cute restaurant hidden among the neighborhood! We all got breakfast sandwiches and split a cookie. Everything was simple, came out quick, and was just a tad pricey. Biscuits were okay but not a southern style that's for sure - no comparison! The cookie was amazing and it looked like they had a lot of good pastries otherwise. Definitely would try other stuff here! read more

A staple for breakfast and lunch in a cute neighborhood. The staff is always so friendly and patient even when they are super busy. You can tell they really care about the place and their customers. The food is always fresh and consistently hits the spot. I love their breakfast burrito and recently tried their pancakes and corned beef hash. They do have limited hours and is usually very packed but if you can go I definitely recommend. read more

The Jefferson Market - Blueberry pancakes with lemon curd and corned beef hash - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

A wonderful spot for brunch! The cafe is set up so that you stand in line to order and then are given a table afterwards. The food came out quickly. The pancakes with blueberry and lemon curd were a standout dish, the lemon curd was perfectly tart. The huevos rancheros were very yummy, I do wish there was more spice in the dish, but there was hot sauce at the table to add. read more

Get the biscuits and gravy. It will save your life. Perfect Saturday morning brunch spot. Coffee is great, food is great. Why haven't you gone here yet? If you have why aren't you going again this morning? If you love yourself you'll go here and get the biscuits and gravy. Maybe even have some bread pudding. Get moving you need to go to Jefferson Market. read more

I love this cozy little diner hidden away on the Old West Side. I live about a two minute walk away and I order carry out regularly. I have eaten in the back garden which is very nice and secluded feeling. Eating in can be hit or miss. It's gets crowded but that's a good thing. The owners are local and very friendly and warm. They were especially kind to me when my husband was very ill a couple years ago. I love the biscuits and gravy, sweet potato wrap and the cauliflower and hummus wrap. The coffee is excellent too. read more

On my first morning of a 3 day visit to A2 I asked a local for a new rave-able breakfast spot and they mentioned 2 places. We stopped at the first and it was mostly coffee, muffins, and scones (it looked terrific but we wanted hot/entrees). Jefferson Market was the 2nd recommendation. To cut to the ending, I never go to the same place twice on a short stay but on the last morning, I brought my old college mates here (and they raved as well). I'm a corned beef and hash snob so when I saw it on their menu, it was a no brainer. I also ordered a chai scone (getting the 2nd to last one right before they sold out a few minutes later). They bake their scones fresh daily, and are relatively large with the (mandatory) crunch on the outside and modestly moist innards. The chai flavor was strong, which is to say, awesome. I somehow saved half for the plane which was uplifting when my flight experienced a short delay. Suffice to say, the corned beef/hash is a-maize-ing. It is completely shredded and thoroughly blended with the hash. The hash is unusual in that it is probably 70% mashed and the rest small bits of potato. Genius, frankly, because it results in a large pancake-like mass of crispy (outside) hash (or mash?) with a good helping of shredded corned beef mixed within. Both times (Fri morning and Sun morning) I found myself eating it so fast I nearly burned my tongue. Of course, it comes with two eggs any style (hello, over-medium) and those were done perfectly each time. The venue is a sheer delight, with two large bay windows with 4 stools (where we were fortunate enough to sit on both visits) and decor that is equal parts antiques and industrial. Parking can be tricky but it's free and we always managed a legal spot (both visits were around 9/9:30 a.m.). The restaurant is modest in size and super busy, with a short line at all times, despite being almost 2 miles from campus. Staff is gracious but way too occupied for banter. The location lends itself to extra charm too, as half the patrons are young families simply walking up from the neighborhood, often with a stroller and dog (read: no frat/sorority clientele ;) There is additional seating outside, behind the restaurant. Note: the restaurant strongly enforces the (well posted) no-seating-until-AFTER-ordering policy. At first I felt annoyed because I wanted to grab a table the second I walked in (fearing the loss of any table later). But after two visits, I see the rationale and became a proponent. My lone disappointment? is that it will be a year or two before I can get another tasting of their unique corned beef "mash." Go Blue! read more

I went here the first time during COVID season and even though the breakfast food was delicious, it felt like I was missing something, as if it was disingenuous to review it without the full experience, but I'm glad I waited until now. Ambiance: I came here an hour before closing on a Sunday, and I loved how quaint and lively Jefferson Market felt. With the bustling kitchen staff preparing entrees and the nostalgic decor lining the walls, the place could have fit right at home in Gilmore Girls or any Hallmark movie. Service: Everyone from the host to the server were very friendly and fast! Food: Wow, hands down one of the best brunch spots not just in Ann Arbor but all of Detroit. I tried the simple breakfast, the ham and egg breakfast sandwich, cafe miel latte, chai latte, and a delicious sticky-toffee pudding like dessert from the glass display. The breakfast was simple yet elevated in every way. The scrambled eggs were golden yellow, moist, and cooked right to the edge of runny which I don't mind one bit, the home fry-style potatoes were tasty with a touch of crispiness, and the sausage patty was well seasoned and springy. The real star of the show was that beautifully flakey, decadent biscuit accompanied by the jam and whipped butter. I could eat 10 of those for sure. Something I had tried previously, the ham and cheese egg sandwich was just as good as I remembered with its delicate brioche bun, savory mushroom spread, and velvety egg bundled up like a blanket. It's what every egg sammich should aspire to be. The dessert and drinks were great and had that oomph of spice really showing their expertise on display. Bravo, they hit it out of the park and fully earned the 5 stars. read more

Jefferson Market is one of my favorite places to get a breakfast burrito! They're so savory and they're massive - they'd be good for two meals! I tried their baked goods too and was really blown away - you can tell they're made from scratch. They're dining room is small so it isn't a great place to go for an extended hangout session - once you're done eating, you need to make room for everyone else in the usually full but steadily moving line. They have outdoor seating in nice weather. It's counter service to order. Staff are always helpful and I love being able to call ahead and order my burrito for pick up. Absolutely recommend this local business gem. read more

Best breakfast burrito of my life - added chorizo & potatoes!!! Throughly enjoyed every moment and taste of our experience - from the walk up (love this neighborhood, reminds me of Gilmore Girls set and walking to Luke's, lol). The staff welcomed us like locals or family, even though we are visiting. We were obsessed with their Pear jam and the pairing biscuit - wanted to buy some to go but needs to be refrigerated and we are traveling. Will be returning this visit if we can. read more

Tucked in a neighborhood street, you'll find The Jefferson Market. Street parking. If you plan to dine in, you can't order until your entire party is present. That said, get in line anyways because once you get to the front, they'll ask you to take a seat but once the rest of your party arrives, you can jump the line. We ordered the breakfast burrito, fries, latte, and corned beef hash. After you order/ pay, they tell you where to sit. They also offered us outdoor seating but not sure where that is? The food came out pretty quick. The burrito was good but better with hot sauce. The fries were fresh cut and uniquely seasoned. The ketchup was tasty too. The hash was good and the eggs were cooked just right. The latte was good but I wish it was hot(ter). The bathroom is in the basement. Not ideal if you just ran a marathon or need a handicap accessible facility. read more

DELISH. I've been here for breakfast and lunch. The breakfast burrito ($10.5 - Grilled flour tortilla filled with scrambled Grazing Fields eggs, jack cheese, black beans with onions and peppers, salsa verde, crema, pickled onions & cilantro) is the best you'll have in town! It's a behemoth of a burrito and it'll definitely fill you up! I also had the huevos rancheros ($12.75 - crispy corn tortillas, black beans, ranchero sauce, sunny-side up eggs & avocado) which was good BUT I loved the breakfast burrito so much that it was hard to compete. For lunch, I DREAM of their za'atar fries. It's not because of the seasoning or the side of masala ketchup but rather just how perfect these french fries are. You can tell they're fresh, hand cut. I've also had a few of their pastries. Solid, but nothing notable. You can't go wrong! The staff has been so friendly every single time - especially when we "dined in" on the back patio. Their hours are very lunch oriented, but it's worth the advanced planning! read more

Very cute neighborhood spot for breakfast/brunch/lunch! If you don't live in walking distance, you definitely have to mean to go here (vs stumbling across). Street parking on 5th and 4th. Handful of menu items for breakfast and lunch respectively, which I just assume are their "tried and trues". Walked in around 8:15am on a Friday and placed an order to go, and it was less than a 10min wait. While I was there, others walked in to pick up orders that were either called in or done online prior. Seems like that's the move! I can imagine wait times would be longer during busier hours. Ok the food. We got the breakfast burrito, add chorizo and potato, as well as a corned beef hash with scrambled egg, and split both. Loved the corned beef hash! The corned beef was plentiful, with great flavor. Their scrambled eggs were soft and buttery. The burrito was good, but I feel like might sometimes be better? It includes ingredients like salsa verde, pickled onions, and cilantro, but they didn't really come through in my half at least. Overall it was soft and warm and melty but I think I was missing some of the flavor/textural elements which sound like are typically there. This breakfast will fill you up! read more

The food is great and the decorations are nice, but not a spot to go if you want to spend time with people. We were there for about 30 minutes before the staff came cleaning our plates, which I feel is not an inappropriate amount of time to eat breakfast and talk with people. They kept trying to ask if I was done with food still on a plate. Overall, I felt like we were greatly inconveniencing them and it was a stressful experience for us. read more

Visited last year and went again this year during a visit to Ann Arbor - both times for breakfast. Staff is very friendly, service is great, and the food is A-MAZ-ING. Biscuit sandwiches - must try item. The interior is cute and seating is limited. Because seating is limited - laptops are not allowed and you cannot be seated without your whole party - just a way to manage seating. read more

The staff ran like a well oiled machine. Our breakfast had to the best in a very very long time, pancakes were fluffy with the perfect amount of blueberries and the lemon curd was perfection.

Recently ate here on an early-ish Sunday morning, probably arriving around 9:30 a.m. The food and coffee were good, if perhaps a bit on the expensive end. Unfortunately, the service was downright rude and the experience turned out to be more of a hassle than anything. Like a previous reviewer stated, I'm not much of a review person. In fact, this is my first one in six years. But some experiences are worth coming out of retirement. First, my friend and I were sat at a table that was very wobbly. Very wobbly. And sure, no big deal, so when the couple next to us got up a minute or so later, we just shifted over to their table. This place is very jam-packed, and the other table was roughly 1 foot away, so I figured we'd snag it, let the server know when they came around why we moved, and we'd be great. They were not, however, great. We were delivered a sigh-filled scolding on how we should not do something like that without asking. Such naughty, naughty children! Then, they have this rule that you can only get one refill of coffee. That's perfectly fine with me, but maybe five minutes after they refilled our cups, the same very perturbed server informed us that they "needed this table" because a line was forming from other customers. We had maybe been there for 30-40 minutes? We weren't "lingering" at all. We got our food, we ate it, and we were finishing our coffee. Not quick enough, I guess. I was really surprised that a restaurant takes this approach to service, but I suppose that's why you pay (and tip!) when you order your food. There are too many other great spots around town to deal with this silliness. If you like wobbly tables and ornery waitstaff with your eggs and bacon, Jefferson Market is your spot! read more

Excellent breakfast, eggs perfectly cooked, potatoes were browned and flavorful, and the house made sausage was delicious. Good strong coffee, and a well-made biscuit--what else could you want? Great service, and a very nice vibe. Happy I live only a few blocks away, sad that they close at 2 p.m. I took home some cookies and scones, they looked tasty and I can't wait to try them! Highly recommend. read more

One of my very favorite Ann Arbor breakfast spots. Definitely must try the chorizo breakfast burrito and the blueberry lemon curd pancakes. Super nice staff and awesome vibe. read more

My favorite breakfast spot in AA! It's such a cute neighborhood spot. The space itself is small and can get quite busy. You can see them cooking which adds to the charm of the place. You order at the counter and then they seat you and bring out your food. I loved everything we tried. We had the breakfast burrito, pancakes with fresh strawberries and cream, zatar fries and side of biscuit with jam. The quality and flavor were overall so good. The pancakes were some of the best I had in Ann Arbor. They were so fresh and fluffy. The biscuit was buttery and flaky. The staff is so friendly. I appreciate how all the staff were wearing masks. The prices were very reasonable. read more

Jefferson Street Market is still masking and social distancing like it's 2020. Don't try to enter the building - I set off a mild panic by opening the front door, and was quickly chased down to the bottom of the steps by a mask-wearing server. Walk-up customers must wait on the sidewalk to the left of the entrance to order, with people waiting to pick up their order wait on the sidewalk to the right. A server will come out to take your order, several steps away, and you pay by inserting your card at a Square reader sitting on a small table. Your food, in a brown paper bag, will be deposited on another outdoor table to pick up. Yes, you must wear a mask if you choose to eat on their outdoor patio. Was Jefferson Street worth the hassle? I pondered this question as I watched a steady stream of "in the know" customers, all of whom had ordered ahead, picking up their breakfast orders. When I asked a guy picking up if the breakfast burritos were any good, I got an orgasmic "oh yeahhh, dude." And then my egg and cheese biscuit was delivered and I understood. It was like a breakfast cloud - a light and fluffy cheese omelette surrounded by an equally fluffy fresh-baked savory biscuit. I'll be back and will call ahead next time. read more

Our first time in, the line was so long that we had to leave before we could even order. I've thought about going back for months and was so pleased that when we did, the wait was very reasonable. (Many students weren't back from break yet!) I got the Roasted Beet & Sweet Potato Pita and was slightly disappointed that it wasn't more flavorful. My husband's breakfast burrito, however, was absolutely divine! (Add the housemade chorizo and potatoes if those are your thing!) We also grabbed a few cookies for later and they were very tasty as well. We will definitely be back to try more items on the menu or to grab a couple of those delicious breakfast burritos to go! read more

Wonderful food. I always have a difficult time choosing what I am going to order. Their corn beef hash is the best I have had.

What a cute place! It was so beautiful to come here during early fall. It's so cozy inside and feels like a slower pace since it's away about from downtown Ann Arbor. The food was so good! Everything was fresh and high quality ingredients. And the service was quick. I like that you have to order before you sit down to prevent people from holding tables. 10/10 breakfast spot! read more

Listen, I am not a review person. I enjoy reading them and using them to inform my decisions but I do not like writing them so it takes a lot for me to write one. The food and service was amazing, but what I really didn't appreciate is getting rushed out of the restaurant. We got our food within 10-15 minutes of ordering which is great, but we ate relatively quickly and spent some time catching up with friends out of town. I'd say we were there ~ 30-40 mins total and they cleared our table and then the owner came up to us and said "can I get you anything else? There is a line building up" and gave us an exasperated sigh and frustrated facial expression and body language. If we aren't able to chat with friends for an hour at brunch we might as well have gotten take out or gone to any of the other breakfast places in Ann Arbor that would not treat us this way. Secondly, if you have a small indoor eating capacity maybe you shouldn't take orders in a line and have people wait for tables to serve said food. Songbird Cafe also does a similar workflow, but has a considerably larger capacity and has never rushed me out of the restaurant in 30-40 minutes. Instead consider seating people traditionally and serving them which would decrease the stress on staff to turnover tables quickly and would make for a less disrespectful dining experience. Like I said I hate writing reviews, but I hate disrespectful people more so I had to say it. read more
