Avalon Cafe And Kitchen - Ann Arbor

The service was fabulous. My dining partner said he has had service before from our same server and that she has been working there for about eight years. I find that amazing in this day and time.The menu is extremely diverse. They are a breakfast, brunch, lunch restaurant only their menu covers all three!You can get anything from avocado toast, to oatmeal, to specialty crafted sandwiches and some delicious pancakes and French toast .The coffee was great too. My dining partner had an orange juice which was freshly squeezed. If you're in Ann Arbor in the downtown area, stop in to the Avalon for absolutely exquisite service and food that is stellar!!!

I love this cafe. I came here since undergrad and the food quality has not changed. There are so many events which makes this spot so fun to come with friends. I love the service and I always get the "bunny" salad.. forgot the name but it is so good! They also service alc drinks too. Will come back

Good brunch and service has been good the three times I have been here. Does not remind me of the original Avalon on Willis at all. Feels kind of generic, but a solid brunch choice.

I happened upon this joint while walking one freezing cold Sun morning. I decided to hop in for brunch. It's a very hip, cool place reminiscent of Zingermans Roadhouse in many ways. The wait was an hour, but I was able to cop a spot at the bar. Staff was very timely and efficient. They provided me with a cute, complimentary dish of pretzels, lucky charms and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I love the unique offering! I started with a lavender kombucha, which was nice and light. I decided to forgo the traditional brunch options which sounded amazing, and opted for the Cobb salad. It was phenomenal. The buttermilk dressing was very unique and well balanced. Pickled onions really made all of the other components stand out. I'll definitely return to try the eggs Benedict and other yummy brunch choices.

My sister and I came here on a whim for a weekend lunch after walking around downtown Ann Arbor. It was great! I had the mushroom burger which was very flavorful and delicious. It was the perfect meal to warm me up on a cold day. The atmosphere was comfortable and cozy, and our server was very attentive. I'd like to come back and try some items from the bakery! Everything looked amazing, but I was just too full to even think about dessert

I love avalon, they have great pastries and great salads! The restaurant is super cozy and welcoming.

Went there on a Monday for brunch with college kids. Table of 6. Tomato soup was good but not hot. Felt like it had been sitting for awhile in the back. My wife's toast with home made Nutella type spread was cool. Not warm at all. Salads that the kids got were better. Service was ok. Not bad but not wonderful. Very average place IMHO.

Avalon is a good option for brunch or lunch in downtown Ann Arbor. Especially during the warmer weathers, the outdoor seating on the patio is nice (Liberty St. is blocked off from traffic). However, I'm not quite as impressed by the quality of their products as I have been in the past, especially for their baked goods.Their salads (the quinoa & farro bowl, and the brassica bowl) are generously portioned. The shakshuka ($15) is not good: watery and flavorless. On recent visits I've found the avocado toast ($8) to be overly salty and oily, and the smoked salmon toast ($14) is on the salty side for me as well; however, some of their other toast or brunch options may be better.For bread and pastries, there are better options elsewhere in Ann Arbor: Bird Dog Baking and White Lotus Farms for bread; White Lotus Farms for croissants; and for other pastries, I think there are better versions at Crust (at Argus Farm Stop), Zingerman's, and various farmers market vendors, depending on the particular pastry. I do think that Avalon is a good place to get a relaxing meal and catch up with friends, so I'd definitely come here for that for or for a study spot---I'd just keep in mind that the food isn't the main reason to come here.

Love Avalon so much and have written reviews of many of their locations! So happy that they have a location in Ann Arbor as well with both a quick grab/to-go side of the establishment with the pastry display case and ordering counter and a sit-down side as well where you can properly dine-in and do a delicious brunch with friends and family!The avocado toast will always be my absolute FAVORITE thing here and is pretty much my go-to because I have never had a better avocado toast! All their pastries are delectable, they have so many options for both my gluten-free friends and vegan friends as well, which we love to see! Avalon is wonderful and located just off of Main Street in Ann Arbor as well, right on Liberty, so it's in a prime location! Stay here forever - thank you!!!

Come here semi regular, always a great atmosphere and food.Made this place a regular place to get something to eat.
