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

Beet burger was so so good! Wish I lived closer so I could have it all the time! The people I was with enjoyed their food as well.

I enjoyed lunch here with my three granddaughters. My 7 year old granddaughter thought the chefs should enter a cooking competition because her waffle with fresh berries and whipped cream was that amazing! Definitely 5 stars - according to her. She even asked to take home the leftovers she couldn't finish. She told her mom she and her sister were all set for breakfast on Sunday. I thoroughly enjoyed the cup of homemade tomato soup and exceptional grilled cheese!" We'll be back for sure! read more

How have I never been here before?!? I need to eat gluten free and they had a wide variety of options, GF bread and pancakes and French toast. The food was delicious and the ambiance was very nice. Parking is a bit of a pain but it's downtown so that's just the way it is. Will definitely be going back. read more

I ordered take out and it was an easy process. The food was ready as promise and the taste was excellent. I ordered the masala omelet with a side of bacon. It was delicious! Service was quick! The restaurant had a good crowd as most tables were full. If you're in Ann Arbor, I recommend! read more

Came here after a disappointing woman's basketball game,big time hungry and found this place on Main, rocks, healthy good fare! Breakfast Wrap was filling, hearty tasty: 5 stars Ann Avocado Toast: Guacamole was really perfect, bread and tomato too perfection, 5 stars Beet Burger. Not MCOT but my wife and daughter said it was excellent, I had a couple bites just missing something critical, oh yeah some MEAT, but besides that pretty good, 4 stars Michigan Salad: way too much vinegar in the dressing, should come on the side my mistake, but still only 3 stars read more

The food was great, it was delicious, the restaurant was crowded its a little pricey but overall i would recommend

My son has a dairy allergy we recently discovered so eating out now can be challenging. We found this place while on vacation and called about their menu. They can make dairy free pancakes. They're very aware to food allergies and make sure you're taken care of. The service and food was excellent. Loved the downtown setting. It was a nice little place. read more

Over priced mediocre food. Dirty and very tight place. Service was good but staffs and place gave unhappy vibes.

We were here for a lacrosse camp and stopped by for lunch. I was reading reviews about the French toast so ordered it even though I don't normally eat French toast. AMAZING!!! the brioche bread was so light, fluffy and fresh! It was perfectly balanced- not too sweet. Topped with fresh strawberries and blueberries. I also ordered the quinoa avocado salad- also DELICIOUS! The baby spinach was fresh and the avocado was perfectly ripe. I wish I could have tried everything on the menu. I will definitely come back when I'm in town. I hope one of my kids attends MI so I can visit first bite more often. read more

First Bite - French toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

I decided to treat my daughter to a burger since she's a burger fan as of recent. I decided to get a turkey burger for myself and I added sauerkraut and cheese. Let me tell you what!!!! This was an excellent choice. The best treat was that they don't offer traditional fries. Instead, there are tasty fingerling potatoes. If you are on the fence about stopping in, please go and treat yourself to their burgers. You will be very pleased that you did cause I know that I was. read more

Lovely spot with a great menu. Any place that asks how I want my bacon cooked gets an A+ immediately. Our server, who I believe is the owner, was charming and attentive. Food was delicious. Love the atmosphere. read more

First Bite - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Loved this place! Breakfast wrap was packed full of eggs, veggies and cheese. Whole-wheat wrap was fresh and perfectly cooked - almost like a crepe. You can add bacon and/or avocado for extra flavor - I went for the bacon. My companion got the French toast with fruit, along with side orders of bacon and scrambled eggs. Everything tasted so fresh and good! Best of all, prices were reasonable in a part of town where a meal out can result in sticker shock. Coffee and tea here, but no alcohol, which also helps hold the bill down. A few tables outside are highly coveted when the weather is nice. read more

First Bite - Cross section of breakfast wrap + bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

My turkey burger was fantabulous. Maybe a little too much sauce, but since the sauce was wonderful, didn't detract from the burger. Glad they offered sauerkraut, which we found to be tangy. The coleslaw wasn't drowning in dressing either. Perfecto. The server was attentive without being overbearing. The music was pleasant and not too familiar, except for that Billy Joel song. Coulda done without that. read more

Had a great experience at First Bite. Great laid back ambiance. Got the Ann Arbor avocado toast with an egg and bacon and my friend got the Masala omelette. Everything was really tasty. The coffee was really really good and the servers kept our cups topped off continually. The manager and servers were extremely friendly and helpful. The manager was super kind and accommodating to a large table with kids too. You are paying Main St prices but that is to be expected. Great little brunch spot. I like that the menu was pretty health conscious. I have a restrictive diet with no refined carbs and there was tons I could order here. Will be back for sure. read more

I hate dinging small restaurants like this, but I don't have any positive things to say here. First of all, it's totally freezing inside. Everyone is wearing a coat sitting at the tables, and even the staff are wearing sweaters or sweatshirts in the kitchen. I remarked to the waitress about how cold it was, and she just shrugged her shoulders. I ordered the cup of tomato soup, which was blandish good, (but not really hot) and the avocado quinoa salad. I've truly never had a more blah dish in my entire life. Nothing was seasoned. I had to ask for some sort of dressing to go on it to even make it taste like something. Definitely can't recommend and won't be back. read more

No complaints on the ambience and audience of this place. It fit the vibe of the menu and what the goal of this business was. Our server was attentive and polite and it was a smooth experience. It was nice having a restaurant that reinforces a vegan and non vegan fusion of items on the menu. It was a place that has something for everyone. The food was good too, it just isn't a breakfast spot if you're looking for a classic intoxicatingly greasy American breakfast. Would maybe return it in the area again. read more

Great food and quick service. I ordered the two eggs and potatoes and bread (forgot the name of the item) but it was great! My dad ordered the French toast and he loved it. read more

I had a delicious egg sandwich with a chai latte for lunch today. Both were yummy and the sandwich had fresh ingredients. My husband enjoyed the pancakes. Took off one star because the ketchup was low and splattered everywhere, swapped it with another ketchup at the table next to us and that splattered too. read more

One of my favorite spots downtown for fresh, good-for-you brunch done deliciously. There are an overwhelming number of options downtown for a good brunch, but First Bite skips the frills and focuses on simple food done perfectly. It has a very casual foodie LA vibe. The food is fresh and not drowned in Mayo or sauces, and taste great on their own. Their chicken burger in particular is really delicious and come with a side of chips (option for veggie chips) and coleslaw. They also have a omelettes, sandwiches, salads, wraps, pancakes, French toast, avocado toast, and all the other necessities for brunch. I've been to First Bite a few times already, and I haven't tried a single dish that I haven't liked. The portions are normal sized (aka not gigantic), so if you're a bigger eater, definitely add on some of the pancakes! read more

This review is based on the service. I came here with my son for a "special treat". No one ever came to our table. Several tables seated after us got water and had their orders taken. Meanwhile, servers walked by our table and ignored us. I've been wanting to try this place out for forever but we won't be back. read more

A friendly host and relaxing atmosphere. Enjoyed a nice brunch. I had the quiche with bacon and cheddar it was good. We never felt rushed had a nice relaxing Sunday morning. They have a nice variety of teas. read more

I was hired by DoorDash to photograph a few menu items. Vivek, the owner is great to work with. The food as you can see is fresh with many vegan options. I had the chicken curry bowl and it was delish! His staff are very kind and particular. I do highly recommend First Bite of Ann Arbor. After being established for 3 years, this place knows its town and the people they serve. Enjoy! read more

Service was mediocre, coffee was okay, food was barely edible. Very expensive for what it was

First time coming here, ordered the black bean burger something I normally would not eat and I really liked it.

A cute brunch spot! I adore the surrounding area of downtown Ann Arbor. The overall ambience is lovely, and the all of the staff was so so sweet. The food was quite nice! It was a pretty standard brunch. I would say it does what it needs to do, but nothing really stood out to me at all. I would recommend going here for a cute Sunday brunch! read more

Great brunch spot with gluten free options galore! Arrived around 10:45 and enjoyed a tea at the bar seating while waiting for a table, which opened up within 15 minutes. I had the veggie omelet with very tasty gluten free toast, a side of bacon, and strawberry jam, which I made into a couple of open faced sandwiches. Dove in so fast that I forgot to take a photo! My friends got the breakfast wrap and the Thai peanut wrap, both of which they really enjoyed as well. I wish this place had been around when I was in school, but excited to come back to try more of the menu next time I'm in town! The French toast that went to the table next to us looked amazing and is at the top of the list! Note that by 11:30, the waitlist was getting long. Get there a little earlier if you can! read more

Good location, service and ambiance I ordered the chicken curry bowl.... Food was a bit blah..... nothing special in terms of flavor. I am a cook myself.... I could do much better :) veggies were a bit mush in this dish.... Curry seemed to be thickened with cornstarch instead of natural reducing to concentrate flavor.... Never a good idea unless you want to feed many with less effort and time! read more

Excellent food. Offers a variety including breakfast all day. My daughter is Gluten and Dairy Free which can make going out challenging but First Bite satisfies her chocolate chip pancake craving as well as breakfast for the rest of us non allergic eaters. This time I had the breakfast wrap with scrambled eggs, roasted veggies, cheese and I added bacon. It was delicious! Photo included of the second half after I inhaled the first half. This can be easily shared but I was a pig and ate the entire thing. Served with potato chips on the side which were good but after a few, I skipped the rest because... you know...balance. Lol! read more

Fresh,hot, delicious, quick. I work super close to this location and wanted something I could quickly pick up for breakfast, I ordered the breakfast wrap and added bacon. It did not disappoint. It was huge for a wrap and completely stuff (should've taken a picture) and it was not dry at all like some breakfast wraps and sandwiches are. They included some of there potato chips and I tried one and it was good but I was so full from the wrap that I did not finish them. I will definitely be back! read more

Absolutely a flavor town! The Indian Masala omelette was delicious (spicy), the fried potatoes have a great flavor, the bacon is perfect crispy goodness, and they ask you how you want it! Toast was perfect and I'm not sure what kind of bread it was lol . Highly recommend if in Ann Arbor! Don't pass up, you won't regret! read more

The server was nice but the service was mediocre. For example we ordered pancakes and had to ask for things like butter. Syrup jar was nearly empty. The place was very messy with food strewn all over the floor. The Manager was there and just didn't even bother to bus the tables. Who wants to sit and eat with filth all over the floor? Jus sayin. The menu is ok and food is fairly decent but I think they need to add a basic pancake mix to their menu. The pancake mix they have is a bit off, grainy and didn't satisfy my urge for pancakes. All in all this place aint all that but if you got nowhere else to go..... read more

I stop by this restaurant randomly for lunch. I'm not vegan, but they have good choices if you are. I had the Southwest black bean burgers, small salad, and veggie chip. Everything was pretty good. The place looks very organic on the inside. The staff was very nice and friendly. I was asked multiple time how is everything and did I need anything else. The nice service made you feel welcomed and makes you want to come back. I heard the turkey burger was really good, that's what I'm going to try next. read more
