Fro years, we have often had Avalon bread at the house courtesy of my wife who works nearby the Detroit bakery. When the opened in Ann Arbor, it took me awhile to go for several reasons. First, the bread for sale there is not good--generally...day old, stale IMHO but not sold as such. Then, I went for a couple happy hours and found it OK for that--not spectacular, though. Just this week, however, I finally made it to lunch (twice) and ate from the regular menu. Happy to report, the food was outstanding, though they have lots of service issues to work out. On the food, I had the frittata sandwich with fries one day and the breakfast burrito (eggs, black beans) the other, also with fries. My former colleague had the farm greens with his lunch today, and they looked great, but I cannot eat raw fruits or vegetables for the most part. Both of my orders were very good (and the frittata sandwich was superb, albeit a tad messy (common with many orders there as my colleague had the same issue with his mushroom burger as he struggled to eat it with knife and fork). Portions are generous and prices are modest. Service and related issues are at best a work in progress, however, despite the Ann Arbor location being open 2 years or more. The specials menu, for example lists a price for items before 10 am but nothing about price after 10 am (such as for lunch!!!). Service is very slow at lunch in my recent experience (twice this week) but faster at happy hour (limited food offerings). Another issue that can be fixed easily: their fries are tasty for about ten seconds but then go off, because they get cold due to them serving those dumb ass skinny fries. I really hate those precisely because they get cold so fast (same at Jolly Pumpkin and other places that make this fatal mistake). I eat one or two and take the rest at home to be eaten a day later fresh out of the toaster over while hot. Bottom line: great food for the most part but with some annoying (but fixable) problems, made worse because any management team worth its salt would have fixed these issues a year ago.More
