    Nate and I were in Ann Arbor on a sunny, almost 70-degree day in March and I knew I wanted to try to find a spot that had an open patio. It can be hit or miss finding a spot with outdoor seating so early in the season, so I texted my friend and fellow Elite Tiffany S: "Do you know of any places with a patio that might be open today for lunch?" Her reply: "York!!" So off to York we went! I will say that parking seemed a little tricky as it's sort of tucked into a residential area - we got lucky with a spot on the street. They do have some designated parking in front but that lot was full. I couldn't really tell by reading reviews & looking at Yelp photos what this spot was like, but it's an interesting mix of coffee shop, wine bar, and deli. There is also a Ricewood BBQ window and I think a food truck in back. The patio has ample space and I was surprised to see it wasn't super busy. We had just eaten, so we weren't hungry, but they do have sandwiches, cheese boards, salads, and breakfast items. Everything sounded really good, so I would definitely come back in the future. We saw people hanging out and working, so Nate fired up his laptop and got some work done while I sat and read. I loved the murals and art around the patio. Also huge shoutout to the staff - especially the person who informed me that I am eligible for an Ann Arbor District Library card since I work in the city! They were super friendly and kind, which made our experience even better.

    Reservations: no Ambiance: I enjoy the various sections within this gem. They have a coffee pastry area, wine area, and different vendors for food. Great open space to study or meet up in groups. Service: Everyone is very friendly. Food $-$$: I enjoy getting the brisket bowls. When I want to just study I will get a pot of genmaicha tea. Experience: Overall great place to read a book or laugh with your friends Audience: Solo Trip [X] Family Friendly [X] Friends [X] Date Spot [ ] Recommendations/tips: I recommend this place!!

    Bresaola and Cheese board
    Alexa E.

    A Hidden Gem in Ann Arbor - Flavor, Vibes & Great Company What an incredible experience! I stopped in for a casual bite with some girlfriends after going to pilates down the street & ended up having one of the most memorable evenings thanks to the food, drinks, and the warm hospitality - especially from Jaden, the bartender, who was an absolute gem. Friendly, knowledgeable, and so welcoming, she really elevated the experience. I started with the Bresaola and Cheese board & added a side of raspberry jam (which was recommended by Jaden), a decision I highly recommend. The cured meat was delicate and flavorful, perfectly balanced with the creamy richness of the cheese. The raspberry jam added a sweet-tart brightness that tied everything together beautifully. A sophisticated yet comforting starter. Next up: the drinks! The first was the Wakey Wakey! - a bold, smoky-meets-bitter cocktail with depth and complexity. The mezcal and spiced rum gave it a warm, sultry kick, while the real espresso shot and demerara brought rich coffee notes and a hint of sweetness. The grapefruit added just enough citrus to lift the drink and keep it balanced. If you like your cocktails with character, this one's for you. The second cocktail, Thistle and Thorn, was a complete contrast in the best way - bright, floral, and slightly spicy. The strawberry rhubarb aquavit was so unique and played well with the rhubarb and Cocchi Rosa. The jalapeño, honey, and lime gave it a sweet heat that lingered just enough without overpowering. Refreshing and layered. For dinner, I had the Reuben, and wow - what a sandwich. The corned beef was tender and flavorful, the Brinery sauerkraut added the perfect tang, and the house-made Russian dressing brought everything together with a creamy, savory punch. The rye bread, grilled to perfection, had that lovely crunch and richness from the olive oil, with a touch of sea salt and pepper that enhanced every bite. Easily one of the best Reubens I've had. The ambiance is cozy and stylish - great for a date night, solo treat, or catching up with friends. I'll absolutely be back to explore more of the menu and catch up with Jaden again. Highly recommend!

    Avo Toast with Scrambled Eggs
    Christal P.

    Despite its flaws and high prices, York is one of my favorite breakfast places in Ann Arbor. The food at York is consistently good. Whether it is something simple like Avo Toast or it's a gourmet salad or sandwich like a Bocata. The ingredients used in the food are high quality so at least you're paying a premium for excellent and artisanal food. I like that there is a beautiful outdoor space which I often frequent to get fresh air and avoid respiratory viruses. There are lots of culinary options in addition to the cafe. Ricewood is located in York where you can get good BBQ and outside there is a food truck called Bao Boys, which I have yet to try. There are mistakes made. Once I made a takeout order and they didn't include the salad I ordered. Luckily I checked in the parking lot and went back inside. The worker apologized and I received my salad. Just a note to check your takeout orders. York is always busy with long lines, so something may fall through the cracks unintentionally.

    Cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese and bacon

    Something as simple as a cinnamon roll and a bagel with cream cheese and bacon and it's just exquisite. Next time I'll get a coffee, but I've already had my full of caffeine today. This is a great discovery this place and the courtyard is spectacular.

    ginger green tea
    Cheyenne M.

    Love the atmosphere for work. The ginger green tea is very good. I also like the caprese salad.

    An absolute Ann Arbor institution! It's been cool to see how York has evolved over the years from a small (but amazing) wine and deli shop to a largely expanded indoor/outdoor community gathering hot spot. So many different vibes at York! I just went today to pick up mortadella for sandwiches, as York is the best for quality deli meats and cheeses. Indoors, there's plenty of seating for gathering with friends. Outdoors, there's plenty of seating with heat lamps in the winter. You can get good coffee/tea, breakfast sandwiches, Zingerman's pastries, simple deli classics. They also have cocktails and mocktails, beers and wines. If York's menu alone isn't what you're craving, they have a Ricewood BBQ and Bao Boys on site, and a rotating cast of food trucks. Often have music and community events as well! Check out their instagram or site for upcoming special events. I enjoy their wine tastings. Parking can be a little tricky, but they've improved signage to help. If you can't find a spot in front (small lot) or in the back, there's additional parking across the street.

    This is a hidden gem in Ann Arbor. The menu is amazing, great beer selection and maybe the best and diverse wine selection in the area.

    Quality sandwiches but at a price. Note sandwiches we ordered were cold. Uncertain if they also can be ordered warm.

    A+ experience! This place is super cute and delicious. I love that this place is in an old,…read morehistoric building. It has so much charm inside and out. Now the setup is that you walk up to the counter to order then they direct you to a table (inside or out, your preference) and bring you what you've ordered. You can also order to go. The food was super quick and delicious. We ordered the huevos rancheros with chorizo and ham & egg breakfast sandwich. Both were exceptionally well seasoned with lots of flavor. Eggs were perfectly runny for the rancheros and folded egg omelet was not dry on the sandwich. Crispy tortillas on the rancheros and house made chorizo was flavorful and not greasy. I'd say that this dish was not very spicy at all, I had to add cholula hot sauce which was conveniently on the table already. They have a bathroom in the basement, which you have to get through the kitchen. So, not accessible for all but it does have a diaper changing station available for the littles. Lots of seating choices: communal table, small tables, and window counter height seating plus outside tables in the back. Overall, will be back again with the kids since there were lots of families with smaller kids here so very family friendly.

    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.

From the written menu, I thought this was going to be butterfly pea powder, cinnamon, almond milk, maple syrup, coconut whipped cream. However, when ordering the Blue Whale drink on the self serve order kiosk, it's described as "Blue Majik" spirulina/energy boosting botanicals (carbonated). The drink I got fit the latter's description. Would suggest updating the board :). I did get a little jittery afterwards, but unsure if that was from the "energy boosting" botanicals or from a coffee I had a couple hours earlier. (Or combo - I do tend to be more sensitive to caffeine, and assuming this drink was caffeine free.) Free WiFi and seating/outlets to do a bit of work here. Not a lot of seating for this, but it wasn't busy on a Thursday morning for a little work! Clean airy vibes, and convenient location in what I call the "Trader Joe's plaza".
