The tea room on the second floor is wonderful, and you can get a unique bird's eye view of main street from the cafe windows. Especially beautiful watching snow fall in winter. Note the Tea Room is sometimes closed for events - check their website before you go.

Famous local sandwich shop. Definitely a higher price point than usual for sandwiches, but absolutely worth a visit while in Ann Arbor. Check out Zingermans on The Side, which is a cafe next door that serves sweet treats.

Grocery Stores
Meijer is a local shopping center with groceries, sporting goods, home/kitchen items, pharmacy, toys, etc (similar to Walmart). I prefer this location to the one on Jackson Road as the selection of items is larger here. You'll need a car to get here or you can take the AATA bus.

This is a really small grocery store near the house that focuses on organic and non-GMO items. It can be a little pricey but they are only a few blocks away and they have a surprisingly large selection of grocery items for being so small. Cafe Verde has a coffee/smoothies/pastries counter and a selection of prepared meals in the back. I recommend walking since there is not much parking near the store.
