Pretty much a Jo brainer to have a microwave people can use. To be quite honest, I think this place is resting in its laurels when it comes to baked goods. Everything is overpriced and just not all that special. I appreciate the owners backstory and the brands community based values but they need to step it up on baked goods particularly. I'm not excited about their pastries whatsoever, especially when places like bird dog in ypsi have a superior sourdough that gets me through the week perfectly. Step it up guys

My daughter and her friends recently attended a cooking class with Lilian Anderson, owner of…read moreSprouting Chefs. Sprouting Chefs is new to the Ann Arbor area, and offers hands-on cooking classes for children and teens ages 8-16. Reasonably priced at $45 a session and conveniently located in the spacious kitchen of the Westminster Presbyterian Church on Scio Church Road, Sprouting Chefs offers attendees the chance to make new and theme based meals in a safe, fun and supportive environment. Throughout the 2 1/2 hour class, Lilian and an assistant provided supervision and instruction to the students, as they moved through all of the steps to make three age appropriate, yet creative menu items. In the class my daughter attended, they made a cucumber salad, homemade Southern-style macaroni and cheese, and mixed berry shortcakes with lemon curd. Completely at ease with the children, Lilian infused the class with instruction on technique, such as how to properly hold a knife; kitchen rules, such as to always say "behind" when you are coming behind someone with boiling water or a hot pan; and nutrition information, such as information on the differences between organic, locally grown and conventional produce. At the end of the class, which included a generous tasting of all the dishes, my daughter and her friends left with a take home bag of the dishes they had prepared and a recipe booklet so that they could make the recipes at home with their families. The girls had a wonderful time and I would highly recommend the class to other children and teens who enjoy and want to learn more about cooking.

We had an excellent experience at Mirepoix. I've taken many cooking classes and this one stands out…read moreas the most advanced while being educational. The class not only taught you how to make the delicious food, it also went into content on the technique of cooking which I found to be interesting. My only knock was the fact that our food's timing was off so the pork was cold by the time we were able to sit down. This was partially due to class timing and partially due to the way that the class was set up in "teams." My team was very focused on how to do the recipe "by the book" (aka no variance from the demo) which took us longer to get through than that of the recipe cards that were handed out. It was still delicious and an actual recipe I'll recreate in my own kitchen - so 5 stars!

Main…read moreStreet Café is now more prominently located compared to the last to-go shop, visible as soon as one enters. The café is bright and airy, offering grab-and-go foods and beverages. I was in awe of the variety offered to students. As a college student, I would not have been able to afford most of the items in the pastry and refrigerated cases. I noted the containers of soup and beverages available, even the break-apart cookie dough to bake some cookies for a midnight study break. I got the chocolate chip cookie dough for a friend who later texted me a photo of some of those tasty-looking goodies. On to the pastry case. Oh goodness, I could have one of everything. Instead, I limited myself to the chocolate-almond croissant, maritozzi, and lemon cake. When warmed up, the flaky croissant shattered at first bite and oozed dark chocolate. I loved the sweet and subtle taste of the almond paste. The orange-flavored maritozzi was good. The brioche dough was not as tender as I would have liked, though expected since it was later in the day. The cream center was incredibly light and complemented the overall flavors. I appreciate the school instructing students on traditional items (croissants, biscotti) and trendier-to-me foods (maritozzi). Service was earnest, but given that school had just started, there was a bit of confusion.
