Crema's Take

First Bite has mastered the art of the comfortable gathering place, where regulars become obsessed and newcomers immediately understand why—it's the kind of spot where a simple two-egg breakfast tastes extraordinary, organic options feel thoughtfully curated rather than trendy, and the festive music hits just right. The kitchen clearly takes pride in both traditional comfort and creative touches, whether you're biting into a surprisingly tender black bean burger or sipping a perfectly balanced iced salted caramel cappuccino between browsing the Ann Arbor Art Fair. It's the rare café that makes you daydream about returning before you've even finished your first visit.

First Bite is one of those dangerous places… because once you go, you can’t stop thinking about it. I’ve been five times now (who’s counting? definitely not me 😅) and I still regularly daydream about their gluten-free French toast with homemade whipped cream and berries. Like… it lives rent-free in my head. The bacon? Absolutely elite. You can order it exactly how you like it — and somehow they actually get it right every time. Crispy dreams do come true. And let’s talk about the real star of my mornings: their oat-milk dirty chai. Hands down the best one around. The staff is always genuinely kind (not fake-nice), and the kitchen crew is literally smiling while throwing down behind the scenes. You can feel the good vibes — and the good food. Bonus points for a fantastic gluten-free menu that doesn’t feel like an afterthought. Cute spot. Amazing food. Happy people. First Bite… you have officially ruined other breakfast places for me. 🥞☕️🥓

We came here because of the organic options on the menu and also wanting a simple breakfast. They absolutely rocked it. Fantastic breakfast, cozy atmosphere, festive music on at the right volume and happy waitresses and chefs. The coffee is nice and classic diner style dark brew. Stays hot in the mug and they come around to top you up. Would definitely come back!

I've been here three times now. The first and second time I had the two egg breakfast with potatoes. I really liked that dish because it was simple yet tasted amazing. The second time I came, I got a black bean bowl with an egg. It was not the most flavorful and I feel like the dish was carried by the guacamole and pico de gallo. The service is decent. The place is usually busy so it can be hard to ask any questions or ask for something once your waiter leaves. It can take a second to get a table and get your order in. Other than that, the staff is friendly. It's a decent place, overall.

I got a green smoothie and it was really good. I also ordered a black bean burger and it was so tender that it sort of fell apart as I was eating it. It had delicious flavor, and I liked the corn salsa and spinach on top. Tasted healthy and very good! Was a good place to stop into for a quick lunch on my break from work. The staff were friendly and the place seems to get pretty popular around lunch time, but my food was still ready pretty fast. They packed up everything to go for me incase I ran out of time to eat and didn’t give me a hard time about it at all. I’d go back!

Stopped in for lunch while attending the Ann Arbor Art Fair. I ordered the Mediterranean salad, added chicken and an iced salted caramel cappucino. It was a lite lunch which I enjoyed. My server was very friendly. I saw a man whom I believe was either the manager or owner greeting and speaking to people which was nice.
