★★★★☆ 4.0 Jai Wall · Jan 2026

The restaurant falls on the expensive side, and the portions are small, but the flavors make up for it. Next time, I’m definitely trying their Steak and The dark chocolate cake! Overall, Great Food, Cozy Ambiance, and Friendly Service.

Delicious healthy food cooked to perfection. Plenty of parking just a few steps away, this awesome restaurant breaks the mold with their wonderful selection you can eat and know you're doing your body good. We were seated promptly at our reservation time at a cozy table looking out the window onto the street surrounded by beautiful artwork by local artists. If you're really lucky your server will be Summer, who knows the menu inside and out was exceptionally friendly and served us with a smile. There are many wonderful dishes to choose from but make sure you don't miss the truffle fries. Can't wait to go back and try some more of their fresh menu items.

Café Zola - Ann Arbor, MI ✨ Tucked in the heart of downtown Ann Arbor, Café Zola offers a cozy yet vibrant dining experience that hits all the right notes. 🍣 I ordered the salmon burger, and it was really good. Tender and flaky on the inside, and topped with pickled ginger, fresh veggies, and a flavorful sauce that tied it all together. The sweet potato fries were crispy and addicting. 🍸 The espresso martini was the cherry on top smooth, bold, and beautifully presented. If you’re a coffee lover, this one’s a must. The ambiance is stylish yet relaxed perfect for brunch with friends or a casual date night. Service was attentive and friendly throughout. 🌟 Overall: Café Zola is a gem in Ann Arbor. Amazing food, great drinks, and a vibe that makes you want to linger just a little longer.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Sanjay Subhedar · Jun 2025

We hosted breakfast here which has been around for over a decade and is very popular with the local crowd but we’re able to get in at 9:00m mostly because university of Michigan is closed and not too many kids around. I ordered a FrenchPress coffee and a Southwestern Omelette with a spicy chorizo filling and potatoes which were delicious. Bread came very very late and I had already finished my omelette by then. The food is good but each dish was $22++. And they automatically added 20% gratuity as we were a party of 8.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Lilian Garza · Mar 2026

$7 for 4 pieces of bread that weren’t even crunchy or toasted. Portions are super small for the price. Overall the experience was subpar. The only redeeming part was our waitress. Service was so slow (we got the food 1.5 hours after ordering) and she was very nice and apologetic. I get that it’s not the waiting staffs fault but the restaurant was barely a quarter full so you’d expect better or faster service.
