Ann Arbor is a foodie town. It has tons of coffee shops, restaurants ranging from simple to fancy, and some of the best ice cream we’ve ever had!

As a University of Michigan alum, my first stop is always Pizza House for a chapatti. My kids have been hearing about them for years and were so excited to finally eat one themselves.

We loved Blank Slate Creamery so much that we went there twice! We could not stop thinking about the dairy free peanut butter and cookies and cream. In fact, when we went back for more it wasn’t a featured flavor so we just split a pint into the two fresh, handmade waffles cones that come with it, and went to town. This hopping ice cream shoppe makes all of their ice cream locally and has a ton of flavors. I wish it could have survived the ten hour car ride home. I miss that incredible taste!

Michigan Creamery was also a hit and perfectly fills the big shoes of its former tenant Stucchi’s.

Speaking of State Street, we had an amazing brunch at Sava’s, in the former space of my beloved Zanzibar. The similar looking interior still offers lots of light and prime people watching from their big windows. Be sure to get the block M Belgian waffle or what I consider the best bowl of oatmeal I’ve ever eaten!

My kids loved Tomukun Korean BBQ and really enjoyed the simultaneous activity of cooking the food on the table top grill and eating the meal.

Heading down to Kerrytown we stopped in to Sweetwaters for our first Pumpkin Spiced Lattes of the season and enjoyed their cozy atmosphere.

York was a fantastic off campus restaurant with a giant outdoor seating area filled with beautiful murals and sculptures. The food and drinks were great and it had an awesome atmosphere. Plus very funny toilet paper.

Sam Hill was also an incredible place for families with a huge yard filled with lawn games. Our kids played while we relaxed and watched the sunset.

My sushi obsessed kids thought Plate Sushi & Chicken was great! They had some inventive rolls plus delicious corn tea.

Thank you annarbor for sending us to such great restaurants!
