Bakeries, Breweries, and More in Ann Arbor

Located about 45 minutes outside Detroit, Ann Arbor is home to the University of Michigan, which gives it a vibrant downtown and great restaurant scene. You can’t visit and not explore the Zingerman’s restaurants, which have a big influence on the food here. But there’s so much more here to try, from Cuban street food to exceptional pastries. Ann Arbor’s busyness ebbs and flows when school is in session, but between meals, take some time to see the lovely campus and the University of Michigan Museum of Art, catch a sporting event, or visit a few college haunts.
