Avalon Cafe and Kitchen
224 S Main St, Saline, MI
Crema's Take
“Avalon Cafe and Kitchen is a thoughtfully inclusive spot where dietary needs aren't an afterthought—they're genuinely accommodated, from carefully crafted vegan and gluten-free options to dairy-free milk alternatives that actually elevate their drinks rather than just exist in them. The menu balances comfort with creativity, whether you're ordering a matcha that hits that perfect balance between earthy and smooth, or diving into craveable dishes like their French onion soup and crispy potato tacos alongside heartier brunch classics. It's the kind of neighborhood cafe where families linger over coffee and art-filled walls, where the staff remembers what matters to you, and where you can feel genuinely cared for at the table.”

Very happy with the vegan options here! The matcha was good, not too grassy and not too milky. I got the Avalon Hash, which comes with a very large portion, I could have split it with someone. The tofu was not my favorite, it could use some time marinating in the sauce. Other than that, I was happy with the vibes in here! We also got their vegan cosmic brownie to go. We warmed it up in the microwave a week after purchasing, and it was rich, hot chocolate deliciousness!
This place has friendly staff, healthy delicious food, gluten free bread and gluten free Cosmic brownie and oat bars, salads and sandwiches, great hot chocolate with dairy free milks, artwork all over! I'm definitely going back soon!!!
We stopped by because this is one of the only Gluten Dude vetted restaurants in the area, which will cater to my celiac disease. Ordered the Elote Salad, and my husband the French toast. Alerted them to my allergies, and they were beyond diligent in catering to us. Which we really appreciate. Not to mention, this is easily the meal we've had in a long time. FANTASTIC!!!
Very yummy food. Vegan and vegetarian options. Brunch had a lot of good options. French onion soup is a must! French dip sandwhich delicious! The crispy potato tacos portion was a little small. Staff were kind and good service. Nice new renovation, kind of dark vibe wish there was more natural light but it was nice
Great food! We enjoyed the Mushroom Burger, the Roasted Veggie Bowl (with Tofu), the blueberry pancakes from the kids menu, the mushroom gravy, and the potato cakes. The Avocado toast plated well but wasn't as tasty (the avocado was bland and the toast had the overpowering bitter taste of olive oil) but everything else was top notch. Would highly recommend going to Avalon. Also, the staff was super polite and great hosts :)
