    I wasn't really sure what to expect at The Boro, but just know that it is a tiny walk up ordering counter with no inside seating. I was looking for a place to get some work done, but that's okay. The Boro is attached to the Dixboro House, which is a sit down restaurant. The Boro counter sells coffee drinks, pastries, to-go drinks, pizzas, and a few entree items. They have a lot of outdoor space for picnics. I was a little flustered because there was a small line forming and basically zero space to wait for your order. I got an iced latte and a spiral croissant, and kind of wedged myself into a corner to try to wait. As I was leaving, the line was stretching out the door - I'd highly recommend placing an order online for pickup! I got a picnic table all to myself and enjoyed the sounds of birds while I ate my croissant (delicious, although a little tougher than I was expecting) and enjoyed my latte (very creamy and smooth). Even though the experience wasn't what I was expecting, I still enjoyed myself. A great spot for nice weather days!

    Usually here for their brown sugar latte, but my new favorite here is their cereal milk latte!

    Came back to try one of the fall drinks- 10/10! Not too sweet and the pumpkin foam was perfect- my only complaint would be that I needed to have a little bit more of it!

    Birthday Toast
    Jessica L.

    I think going to Dixboro for my birthday is going to be my new tradition! The staff took such great care of me and even went as far as to get me a welcome toast. I like that their menu is seasonal and changes every few months. The menu from when I first went is different from this last time, and it made the experience so much more exciting and enjoyable. I also feel like I can look forward to coming back and seeing if the same menu items are there because they're so tasty. The Grilled Octopus was to die for. Classy and delicious at the same time!

    Fruit salad with sour honey

    Drove by the DP all the time and finally decided to make reservations for brunch. The restaurant is absolutely gorgeous and a bit breathtaking. We were seated in the room, farthest to the main entrance, and could see the lake from our table. Service from the moment we walked in, till we walked out, was outstanding. We ordered a ham and cheese croissant, duck hash, side of fruit and cappuccinos. Everything was delicious but the dish that blew me away was the duck hash. It was like an explosion of flavors! Can't wait to go back to try other dishes. This is a great place for brunch and date nights!

    I LOVE the aesthetic and rustic vibe of this place. The Dixboro Project really did amazing job restoring the century-old barn while keeping certain elements from the original structure, such as the exposed 140-year-old timbers, gambrel vaulted ceiling, and original stone fireplace. The menu is simple but tasteful. The wood-fired pizzas and bakery items are SO delicious, you'll want to take some to-go for the next day! They feature Roos Roast coffee and make yummy adult beverages at their bar too. They also have The Boro, a side door all-day cafe for takeout.

    The Boro-eo cookie :)

    My new favorite place in Ann Arbor The margarita pizza was 5/5 and the chili oil was so good with it. The mushroom sandwich was so flavorful 5/5. Cold Brew was strong and woke me up lickety-split 5/5 forgot to ask which coffee they use. The Boro-eo cookie was delicious. Service 5/5 everyone just seems genuinely happy working there. Really made you feel welcomed. Ambiance 5/5 near a creek and plenty of trees surrounding. The layout is very nicely spaced. The table to table spacing is on point. I love this place :)

    Peach cobbler dessert special

    The service was excellent, the food tasted great, but the prices were a bit steep. My side salad was $17 we especially enjoyed the peach cobbler dessert.

    I've been wanting to try this place for a long time and finally got around to it. They have a large deck with umbrellas and heaters plus a more remote area with picnic tables. We ordered coffee and pastries at the small area with the To Go sign. There's only room for about 3 people in this area so they offered to bring my latte to my car if I was parked in a numbered parking spot along the building or they would give me a number and I could wait at a table on the deck. We got an almond croissant and a chocolate croissant and they were both very good and HUGE. It was a bit slow for us to get our drinks (a latte and a hot chocolate) but they do use Roos Roast coffee in their cafe drinks so they were good. Others in our party got a margarita pizza that was a bit slow to arrive but looked and smelled great. They have an accessible ramp near the handicapped parking space. Unfortunately, they have a hay bale and pumpkins blocking the last part of the ramp so it really isn't accessible to people using walkers and wheel chairs.

    Chili oil that comes with mushroom pizza
    Grace K.

    This is my favorite pizza place! I've been hooked on their mushroom pizza ever since the first bite. I love the thin, slightly charred crust, slightly sweet cheese and cream sauce, and savory mushroom and mushroom topping. This pizza also comes with chili oil on the side to sprinkle over your slice and give it a little kick! I didn't realize this till after a few visits, but there are actually three 'restaurants' in this location. The Dixboro Project is specifically for their tasting menu, the Boro is a little more casual, you can order things like pizza, steak, pasta, etc., and there's a pick up spot where you can quickly pick up delicious pastries (made by a Michelin star chef!), coffee drinks, and takeout orders. You can't go wrong with any of their pastries. My favorite is the nutter butter sandwich and almond croissant. Their drinks are also fantastic. During my last visit, I ordered the grapefruit spritz mock tail which was delicious and refreshing! The location is so gorgeous. It feels like a green retreat space outside the hustle bustle of Ann Arbor. The patio is beautiful and overlooking hammocks and a small dock next to a stream behind the building. I appreciated the picnic tables strewn around for those who want to eat their pastries or takeout outside in a quieter location and don't necessarily need service. Love this place. Will be back and bringing friends/family!

This Sunday, my mom invited myself and my siblings to join her for brunch. The ambience was amazing - with lovely natural lighting and gorgeous table settings. The menu makes every dish seem mouthwatering and delicious. When the plates came out, they were gorgeous and the food looked so inviting. Unfortunately, the taste was completely lacking. If you're going to charge the prices they're charging, the flavor should be amazing in every single bite. We sampled four different dishes, and none blew me away. Some, were even borderline "bad." Here's a rundown: mushroom pizza - the description makes it seem like it will be cheesy and full of flavor, but it was very one note duck confit pizza - had three pieces of duck on it and was otherwise covered in hot peppers lemon blueberry pancake - more of a skillet cake - sauce was the best part, otherwise dry on the bottom Raclette burger - $30 which is almost comparable in price to a burger I had at The Four Seasons in Maui. That burger, was worth every penny. This one had absolutely no flavor. The meat tasted like mush - definitely lacked seasoning, and there was not a speck of cheese to be found. If you're going to call a burger a raclette, it should be oozing with cheese. grilled Romaine salad - leaves were bitter and the dressing again, looked delicious, but had no flavor. The flavors did not compliment each other at all - with the pickled grapes, taking away from the dish and contrasting very starkly against the rotten tasting lettuce Brown sugar oat milk latte - really the only thing that delivered both on looks and on flavor. Sadly, not high on my list of places to return. It kind of made me think of Vegas: lots of pomp and glam which momentarily distracts you into thinking you're having the best time of your life. But in retrospect, not very fulfilling.

    Really nice, but a bit pricey!…read more Stepping into Mynt House is honestly kind of an immersive experience with how they've decorated and styled the place. We sat downstairs, and it had the look and feel of a cute Moroccan courtyard (aside from the obvious of it being indoors haha). I loved the mint tea experience everywhere I went when I visited Morocco, so of course got that here. $16 for a large pot of tea. Nice and minty, just a touch I would say on the too sweet side, but overall nice. I got the Shakshuka ($21) which I do recommend - delicious. And had leftovers for a second breakfast. The bread that came with it was kind of unique, very yummy dipped in the saucy savory eggs. My friend got the Traditional Moroccan Breakfast ($24) which looked like a fun smorgasbord.

Amazing flavor on everything and it was all made to order, so while we waited a bit for our meal, it came out piping hot and felt homemade. They don't skimp on portions. Our lamb was very tender. The shakshouka was so delicious, I couldn't stop eating it but had to so I didn't burn my esophagus from the chilis! A really great addition to the A2 food scene!

Sandwiches are hefty enough that I bet they hold up well taking them to go as well.
