Still one of my favorite restaurants in Ann Arbor. I'm glad it's not right in downtown because I'm sure it would be much busier than it already is! Although they now have a few outdoor tables which opens up more seating. Since my first review, they've changed their gluten free bread which is now even bigger and better tasting. Just half a sandwich is filling! All of their food is fresh and made with wholesome ingredients, and everything tastes delicious. All priced affordably as well. What more can you ask for?! read more

Juicy Kitchen - JK Club & Roasted Eggplant sandwiches, both with gluten free bread - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Went to this spot on the way home from Detroit to Chicago. Wanted a healthy breakfast after eating bad all weekend. When I searched breakfast/brunch locations this popped up on Yelp and I am so happy. Fresh, healthy, good food. We ordered the egg slider, the hot mess, and the hipster hash. We were all pleased with our meals. It was delicious real homemade food. We also had the baked doughnut and the date cookie. All were amazing. I will certainly be back here again. The owner was there working and she was so nice. Service was excellent! read more

Came here with two friends for brunch a while back and had a delicious meal! Plenty of vegetarian/vegan options. Very locovore friendly. Great staff and deliciously prepared dishes, clearly made with a lot of care. Location is pretty off the beaten path, but absolutely worth it! Location is small, but I was able to find a seat pretty easily. read more

An excellent choice for breakfast this morning! Visiting Ann Arbor and loved this spot for a delicious, yet wholesome and nutritious meal. We were new here and they were so accommodating in explaining how to order and their process, got us coffee while we were deciding. Husband had the Hot Mess which seemed like a popular choice - and for good reason! And I had the JK Benedict. It was very hearty and warming. We left full and happy! Highly recommend read more

Juicy Kitchen - JK Benedict! Hearty and wholesome. Corn cake base was a creative and delicious way to do the Benedict, poached eggs were perfect! YUM - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

See all

The breakfast sliders were SMALL but the fresh fruit and quinoa salad was HUGE and super tasty. I felt bad for my friend who got the sliders. The restaurant is extremely small, so it's best if you don't plan on staying there especially on the weekend. I would take food to go and bring it for a picnic in the Arb! read more

I just got done getting my hair done and while waiting for my boyfriend I stumbled in here and instantly fell in love with the atmosphere and everything looked so good and to be perfect the food is amazing! So hard to find healthy food places that aren't downtown and super $$$ . We really loved it! (Jk club and power bowl) read more

Had the eggplant sandwich, power bowl, and the fruit/quinoa salad. Everything so good. Everyone so nice. Came here 2 days in a row. Yum!! read more

Juicy Kitchen - Roasted Eggplant sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Amazingly fresh food, a little cramped space wise but well worth it. Chicken sausage is amazing

The is a great little place! I came here because they have a lot of gluten free options, and when I was looking over the menu I couldn't decide because of all the choices! I didn't try their coffee, but it seems to be a hit. I think it's a neighborhood gem you should definitely try :) read more

Juicy Kitchen - Gluten free options galore! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

This place has the best customer service!! I assumed everything was gluten free and ordered my boyfriends food. When the food came out and it wasn't- the hostess was beyond amazing. I offered to pay for the remake of the food- and she declined. Emily was the front of the house manager. She promptly replaced out order with gluten free. She was simply outstanding. I am a hospitality manager and I will have to commend the staff here! First class. Not to mention- the food is outstanding. We came here two days in a row and will be back each time we come to the area. Thank you Emily and juicy kitchen!!! read more

Great food, excellent & friendly service. Cozy place. Don't let the retail strip center location dissuade you from making quick drive from downtown Ann Arbor to the Juicy Kitchen. Recommend the Baked Eggs and the Cinnamon Vanilla Lattes read more

This place is so cute!!! Everything on the menu is very healthy but also extremely tasty. Only bad thing about this place is that it is so good that there is sometimes a long wait (because the restaurant is small) but it is definitely worth the wait read more

Juicy Kitchen - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Utterly delightful place. Fresh food, awesome smoothies and very pleasant and friendly staff! Perfect brunch place! Made moving to Ann Arbor from our darling Minneapolis easier :) read more

This is my favorite place to get breakfast food in Ann Arbor. Food options are staples, but with slight variations - interesting, healthy ingredients incorporated into the meal as additions or item replacements. The menu changes frequently, but salads are generous, flavorful and chock full of fruit. Every soup I've tried has had a well-thought-out, interesting blend of flavors. My favorites are the benedict options. Every week there is a different "rotating" eggs benedict: sweet potato polenta cakes with kale hash and goat cheese hollandaise, crab cakes benedict, corn cake with veggie hash. (Sweet potato is my favorite). I haven't tried anything from the lunch menu aside from salads yet. However, oepn hours are limited and the space is small. It can be difficult to get a seat - I wouldn't come here with a group larger than 4. read more

This is a great and cosy local breakfast place. We loved the JK Benedict and the French toast. The staff is very friendly.

On a bone-chillingly cold day, the chick pea vegetable soup really hit the spot. Pairing that with the blackberry salad was a great combination. It's been a little crowded for my tastes more than once but I picked a day unfit for man or beast to go so it was only about half full. Plenty of elbow room on this occasion. Great to know that anything you pick on the menu (nicely presented on the wall) will be a healthy choice. read more

Hoppin' spot for brunch on the weekends. Food was alright (healthy and hearty - I got the baked eggs), but nothing special. Could have made everything very easily on my own. read more

Juicy Kitchen - Baked eggs! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

I've been back to this place multiple times since my initial review and I must say, the service has gotten better. I started placing takeout orders over the phone ahead of time and haven't run into a single problem since. The food is solid as always. read more

"Grilled Caesar w/grilled romaine, house made Caesar dressing, whole wheat croutons, freshly grated parm. $9.75 (vg, ng)" ... Who writes a review about lettuce? If you would have asked me yesterday morning, I would have said only wussie-boys and rabbits. I ordered what seemed to be an over-priced handful of "grilled lettuce" -- thinking, "yeah, sure. who grills lettuce?" Without any question, this was the most amazing taste bud overload I have ever self-induced. I don't know if this is some trendy thing, the grilling of lettuce, but jeez-la-weez, this thing was off-the-leash. The huge croutons with whatever dressing they put in that little 1oz cup was the foreplay. However, that didn't last too long. I've always said, a good crouton, that means something. These were good and when I got around to the main course, my crouton axiom was given new credence. I was blown away. Heavenly trauma ensued. I needed to validate so I pulled in two others to get their opinion. Not sure if they were agreeing with me because a total stranger was asking them to share a plate, or if they too had an advanced uber-palate like me. Doesn't matter, they said almost the same thing before they ran away. I don't know what other treasures the Juicy Kitchen might hold, but my taste buds would be pretty darn pissed if a full in-depth investigation was not immediately launched. read more

Amazing brunch food, for an amazing price. Coffee is refilled as you would expect at a brunch restaurant, but it's quality is awesome. The restaurant for sit down is a bit cramped, but you can sit outside on a nice day which is a wonderful experience. read more

My wife and I have stopped here every Monday after our doctors appointment at UofM. Everyone is super friendly and the food is OUTSTANDING. Everything is fresh and made with their own twist that makes it stand out. Coffee is awesome and I personally love the Benedict, breakfast quesadilla and smoothies. read more

I've waited over an hour for oat pancakes. I wouldn't go here ever again. Terrible execution process of their products.

Undercooked eggs and undercooked sausage. I ordered the "baked eggs" with sausage. Both were so undercooked that I had to throw the entire meal away. The uncooked eggs were all over the greens. I was very disappointed. I will not be returning. read more

This gem is hiding in a strip mall, but when you walk in the staff and atmosphere welcome you. The meal was so amazing I forgot to take a pic. The homemade cinnamon - latte syrup is delicious! My group had the omelet, the hot mess and the JK club and all cleaned our plates! The prices are appropriate considering the portion and local, high-quality ingredients. read more

I asked my daughter to choose a healthy place for breakfast/brunch in Ann Arbor. Juicy Kitchen was an excellent choice. We both ordered coffee and read through the entire menu. So much good stuff to choose from! We settled on Good Morning Sunshine, and two Hot Messes. We wanted to lick the plates! Tasty, wholesome, and all sorts of delicious superlatives. It is definitely a place we will visit again to work our way through the menu - and into the lunch/dinner menu as well. Juicy Kitchen is located in a strip center, so parking is limited. Also, the café itself is not very big (fewer than 10 tables), so seating is at a premium. With lots of walk-in traffic, and table turnover, the cashier/waitstaff were a bit slow on clearing/wiping tables in order for other folks to sit. However, the staff was friendly and knowledgeable about their menu. Give it a shot, and get some good food for your day! read more

We came here during a busy brunch time. There are only 3 4-tops and 4 2-tops. Immediately wanted us to order. We're super pushy. Ordered on a whim because we felt rushed then food came out one plate at a time--which is really rude. One plate took 20 min longer than the first. Tiny quarters and very uncomfortable. Food is pretty good but service wasn't my fave. read more

Very busy restaurant, extremely small and crowded. They did come up to us and and were looking for a table for us, but we had to wait till a table opened up. The wait for the food wasn't long. The orange juice was not that tasty, but the hot cocoa was delicious. As for the food, it was not impressive, especially for the high reviews it has. Pretty basic food with little taste. I did like that all the food comes with a side salad. Everyone was friendly, just not a good experience due to the overcrowding and the basic food. read more

This brunch spot is amazing. I never feel left down by any of the items. The fresh ingredients and care to health really make for a large brunch that won't leave you feeling heavy or bloated. I've had the hot mess, the health nut smoothie, the baked eggs and the rotating salad and I've loved them all read more

The juicy kitchen doesn't stick out from the road because I used to live in the area and never noticed it. But they are a great option for breakfast, especially if you have celiacs disease or you're vegan/vegetarian! All of their options were really healthy and fresh which I really appreciated. The staff was so sweet and really accommodating. Even my FIL who isn't a health nut really enjoyed the food! If you're in the area and want a fresh tasty bite to eat in the morning this is the place for you! read more

I was pleasantly surprised when having breakfast at this cute little place! I was there on St. Patrick's day so had their corned beef hash, which was delicious. Will look forward to coming back again to try out more items on their menu. Recommend! read more

Since my original review a couple years ago, I've become really fond of Juicy Kitchen and their healthy/creative reformulations of classic cafe fare. Their vegetarian omelettes are the best in town, stuffed with creative yet thoughtful combinations of fresh, local produce and delicious cheeses; I really appreciate the variety of seasonal ingredients that you won't see at average breakfast joints (things like arugula, butternut squash, brussels sprouts, beets, and more). While I usually stuck with omelettes, the Mediterranean roasted eggplant sandwich is also delightful, overflowing with rich flavors and creamy juiciness (which can make dignified dining a bit difficult). And rather than a pile of starchy carbs on the side, most entrees are accompanied by a lightly-dressed salad of greens and fruits (again, extremely fresh, local/seasonal produce). Among the sweet treats, the espresso bean cookies deserve special recognition. They have different texture from your typical cookie, but are nonetheless bursting with decadent chocolate-y deliciousness. Perhaps more importantly (for the health-conscious), they mostly consist of black beans and are lightly and naturally sweetened, so you needn't feel too guilty about indulging in them. Definitely grab one (or more) if they are in the baked goods case! (keep them cool to maintain firmness; they get a bit mushy when warm). Though I usually went for the made-to-order cafe dining, their fridge is stocked with selection of very enticing pre-prepared take-home foods (soups, salads, entrees, quiche, dessert), often creative concoctions (the kind you'd find on Pinterest) showcasing seasonal produce from local farmers (menu changes weekly, new set of items each Monday). As others have noted, the space is very limited, so you could run into trouble if you show up at a popular hour, particularly with a group. But in some ways the small-ness adds to the charm of this place. Best advice would be to arrive early, before things get really busy. Coming in during a quiet morning, you'll get to truly savor the amazing food/coffee in a very cozy setting, attended by super friendly owners/staff. Wish every town had a place like Juicy Kitchen; truly one of the hidden gems of Ann Arbor. read more

Juicy Kitchen - Omelette with beets, purple potatoes, spinach, caramelized onions, goat cheese; with multigrain toast, fruits & greens, & Mighty Good coffee - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

I am a long term fan of this cafe but I am writing today to say that the Valentines take out dinner that I ordered was amazing. I got the short ribs, blistered green beans with pistachios, the cauliflower and acorn squash with a chili lime vinaigrette (I think) and the flourless chocolate cake. Everything was delicious and I will definitely order a holiday meal again! So so good! read more

Just landed from California drove straight to Ann Arbor heard about this place had to give it a try! Super friendly staff! the perfect breakfast combo to not feel guilty about Indulging! They offer simple things like a small breakfast with a little bit of everything to French toast but the healthy way! Absolutely perfect ! read more

Enjoy the food and the staff is friendly, but a couple drawbacks exist.... First, the facility is way too small, cramped, and not climate controlled. Second, like too many Ann Arbor spots (zingermans and Jeffersons market, I'm looking at you), the logistics of ordering and getting your food is ridiculously disorganized and/or over-engineered. Not sure if these folks all do this to be cute, clever, or see it as a shtick....but it is not working for me. read more

A wonderful spot in the neighborhood! Knowledgeable and friendly staff and healthy brunch options that are tasty and don't leave you hating yourself afterward. You may have come across the chef at Selma Cafe back when it was still on Soule, and she continues to impress here. Keep an eye on the chalk board for daily specials, refill your Roos Roast coffee, and take home an try the yummy but not too sweet blueberry pomegranate smoothie! read more

Juicy Kitchen - Santa Monica style! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Tiny cramped place, just so ya know, but that's ok. Ran by some friendly ladies who can really put together a nice meal. Had Eggs Benedict breakfast and the wife had the quesadilla. Absolutely delicious combo of ingredients that I would have never thought to put together. Little pricy but worth it. read more

Have returned several times since my initial review and have been impressed with the quality of the food and the friendly service each time. I have also sampled the #1 and #2 for breakfast which are breakfast sandwiches with eggs and cheese and/or veggies. These sandwiches come with an absolutely delicious tangy sauce. I love the unique vegetables that they include such as broccoli and beets (just trust them, it IS good). I've also tried their nachos and they were great! read more

Not too many places offer a top notch product with outstanding customer service but Juicy Kitchen delivers on both and then some!

Amazing service and even better food. I stop in once every week or two for lunch and have never been disappointed. They have a small dining room but when it's nice outside they have tables set up on the walkway in front of the restaurant. I suggest trying the power bowl with an egg or two, but you can't go wrong no matter what you order. read more
