OT Ann Arbor breakfast joints
Slow day for the CC so we need something to keep our minds off the obvious until the 28th.
I went to breakfast yesterday at an AA diner and it was solid as are most all diner/greasy spoon type places that offer breakfast all day, but not over the top, plan my Saturday/Sunday morning around. I know the typical Angelo's, Weber's Brunch, Northside, and Fleetwood offer solid slightly different takes on the breakfast and are pretty awesome in their own right.
My question to the board is what weekend breakfast options to you HIGHLY recommend for takeout? I usually get up first in my house and want to grab coffee and bring home something amazing b/c Ann Arbor is a foodie paradise. My only current go to is Washtenaw Dairy donuts.
What peaked this was my brother lives in AZ and we get breakfast burritos every breakfast we are out there and bring them home. The perfect balance of potatoes, eggs, cheese, meat of choice and red/green sauce. Nothing I have had here has been on that same level. Thanks.

Crabcake Eggs Benedict // Gyro Hippie Hash

Juicy Kitchen on Maple. Full disclosure I'm related to the owners but they do make some amazing breakfasts and the ingredients are all top notch.

I live about 5 min. away, but wasn't aware of them. Sounds great.

It's my aunt's place and that part of the family has put a lot into it the past couple years. It's not that noticible in the current location but they're looking to open up another one downtown, possibly on Main St.

Just off S State down near the airport. It's not as good as some of the other places on the list that are closer to downtown, but if you're in the Briarwood area, it's one of the better ones.

I always eat there when I have a job at a south side printer. The chili cheese omelet is greasily outstanding, and the coffee ain't bad to boot.
Plus the waitresses always call me "Hon."
December 8th, 2014 at 5:39 PM ^
Agree. This isn't the best breakfast place by any stretch, but for whatever reason if I'm craving breakfast food and have nobody to go out with, it's the only place I'm usually willing to eat at solo.You can walk in and out in about 15 minutes, with a big stomach full of breakfast food. The waitresses can be a bit on the trashy side, but that's to be expected in a diner type of place.

Flim Flam had awesome fried smelt. Loved that place for lunch.

It's still open on Maynard!
December 8th, 2014 at 2:42 PM ^
+1. Frank's also has the best coffee that you'd expect at your grandmother's kitchen table too.

Fragels from Bagel/Fragel on Plymouth Road. Bring an insulated bag so they stay warm on the way home.
December 8th, 2014 at 1:56 PM ^
Dimo's Deli and Donuts has the best breakfast sandwhiches around. Only negative is that they are closed on Sundays.
December 8th, 2014 at 1:58 PM ^
December 8th, 2014 at 2:00 PM ^
The fact Dimo heckles the customers only makes it better.
December 8th, 2014 at 1:56 PM ^
Any breakfast burrito suggestions?

Funny, I'm the exact opposite. Not a fan of their breakfasts, but a huge fan of dinner and the alcohol lists.
That said, the doughnuts just rock.
December 8th, 2014 at 2:04 PM ^
On Washington - but it's a fancier, sit down breakfast place.
The answers are obviously Angelo's for amazing bread/etc. and Benny's for huge $4 omlettes
December 8th, 2014 at 2:18 PM ^
I love the crepes, which are just spectacular, but the Turkish breakfast is really different and I think it's delicious. I've also started making tea at home "Russian style" (w/cherry preserves instead of sweetener).
December 8th, 2014 at 2:42 PM ^
They also opened a second location on Wshtenaw at Arbor Crossing. Same menu, less wait during Brunch time. We like going there now instead since we have a baby and there's more room.
December 8th, 2014 at 3:10 PM ^
Those are my two dishes that I've ordered so far. They're so good I've been scared to order anything else. We live in Chicago and haven't checked out the new one yet, but it's on the list for when we visit.

Zingermann's Roadhouse has deservedly not been mentioned--I think it's overrated, even though I'm a huge fan for dinner.
However, Roadhouse doughnuts are fricken' fantastic!

dimos on stadium is amazing. great selection of donuts, bagels, and breakfast sammies. used to stop here on my way down stadium to pioneer every day once i was able to drive myself to school. 5d everything bagel cant go wrong
marks midtown coney island on state or plymouth is good for cheap plates and meals to go. omletes, bacon, eggs, simple stuff like that.
zingermans bagels, schmear, lox. basic, but the quality of the ingredients is bangin.
bagel factory.. ah fuck... cant believe its not there anymore. so make it to any place that now sells fragels. bring home a dozen fragels and youll be the hero for a year.

Love their greek omelet. Used to be a noon game pre-gaming mainstay of ours.
December 8th, 2014 at 2:10 PM ^
#1 is definitely Northside, IMO. #2 Angelo's. #3 Good Egg
December 8th, 2014 at 2:12 PM ^
Beezy's in Ypsilanti is awesome. Great coffee, cool atmosphere, and really good food. Crispy bacon, breakfast potatoes with a bit of spice, light and fluffy eggs, and good homemade breads if you want that, too.

I had a pretty good breakfast burrito at jefferson market. It was nice and light.
December 8th, 2014 at 2:30 PM ^
I don't know if they do carry out but this place is a gem. Neighborhood place with high quality food and coffee.
December 8th, 2014 at 4:20 PM ^
I would also recommend this place. Great hash browns and I love their scones.

"What's for breakfast?" said Pooh. "What do you say, Piglet?"
"I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" said Piglet.
Pooh nodded thoughtfully. "It's the same thing," he said.”

I haven't been in a couple years, but as a former North Campus resident I enjoyed Cafe Marie, near Plymouth and Murfin. Not sure if they do takeout, though.
December 8th, 2014 at 2:43 PM ^
Angelos? I don't see it mentioned yet.

Took awhile for someone to mention Angelo's. I haven't been to town in two years, so I got worried it had closed. I lived on Glen/Fuller one year in the late 80's. You had to wait in line and watch people eat through the windows.
