My faves at/near the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Take it from an extreme foodie, I know what I am talking about! Also, follow me on Beli (the food review app) for more recommendations.

breakfast
the most important meal of the day :)
The best bagles in Ann Arbor by far. I suggest an egg everything bagel with the dairy free tofu spread.
Bo's Bagels
The fruit and coffees are amazing, must go early because the lines get really long
The Hen
Nothing better than the iggycado on a hashbrown. Their food is always steaming hot. Their service can be slow because the location is very small and sometimes it is hard to find seating, but it is VERY worth it.
Iggy's Eggies
lunch/dinner
As you can see from the contents of this list, I am a huge sushi lover. I tired to include a little of everything on here. If it got a 7+ on my Beli, it made the list!
A michigan classic, you have to try their chocolate milkshake
Pizza House
Super fun for drinks and apps, I suggest the guac, bbq cauliflower bites and margs!
Union Rec
Beautiful ambiance, great for sharables. Come hungry.
Aventura
Another Ann Arbor classic. The corned beef sandwich is to die for.
Zingerman's Deli
Delicious fries and burgers.
Burger One of Ann Arbor
The freshest sushi, right on campus.
Poke Poke - Sushi Unrolled
Extremely reasonably priced sushi, you need to try the sweet potato tempura roll and the uofm roll if you go here!
Sadako Japanese Restaurant
I think about these sushi burritos all the time. The tuna one is the best by far. Make sure to get extra yumyum sauce.
KANBU Sushi
Some of the best sushi that I have ever had. Just steps away from the diag at the university of michigan.
Mama Satto
Super fast service. Extremely high quality food. I like getting sharables with my family to share here, definitely a communal-style (sharing) meal. Get the quinoa salad, hummus, falafel, mujadara, fatoush salad and the fries. Mouthwatering meal.
Jerusalem Garden
I like to get the classic pad thai or the broccoli pad seew at No Thai. They are amazing for eating in with extremely fast service but equally as impressive for takeout. Their food also holds well for leftovers. However be warned that their spice cha...
No Thai!
coffee
There are SO many amazing coffee shops and cafes in Ann Arbor. Whatever you do, avoid the chains like Dunkin and Starbucks, there are SUCH better options.
An amazing cafe to lock in at. Keep in mind that it is in a basement, so it tends to be dark. Go early in the day if you are eying a specialty order because they do run out occasionally.
Sml wrld cafe
Super impressive matcha. Very minimal seating, not somewhere you can study.
Lab cafe
The cutest (korean?) sweet treats and coffees. Amazing natural light but its hard to get seats to study. Perfect cafe culture.
Ondo Bakery
The verve location has a great study culture, the seats are so comfortable and baristas always make amazing coffee. Their coffee beans are great.
Misfit Society Coffee Club
The best matcha in all of Ann Arbor. Lena is the sweetest and has the most amazing taste. Ask her for reccs but truthfully everything is amazing.
unitea café
dessert
for my sweet treat lovers!
The warmest cookies near campus! Plus they have dairy free/gluten free options
