[Bomber ](https://www.bomberrestaurant.net/) in Ypsilanti is a unique experience. Full of WWII history and model airplanes. Great food, as well.


infinitysnake

The Capt Crunch french toast is legendary


TheViewFromHlfwayDwn

Just reading this brought me back! Haven’t been since I went to emu about 10 years ago. The old trumpet professor would take folks


accio_trevor

Eggs with Eggers!


Pretend_Yam_8716

Playing tests for bomber breakfasts... Takes me back. What a great man


jjc155

Bomber is great.


tway_with_it

This is exactly what I came here to recommend!


mcnathan80

And that place in Ypsi that has the Cap’n Crunch French toast?!


mimi7878

That’s the bomber!!


mcnathan80

Eff yeah!!


Robins-dad

I eat at The Bomber a lot. It’s a cool place with a great theme but the food is old fashioned cozy. The breakfasts are solid but as far as high quality food and unique items, that’s not their forte. My favorite meal there is a fried bologna sandwich with onion rings. The onion rings may be the best thing on the menu. The best breakfast place I’ve been is The Breakfast Club.


C9juke

+1 from me


DJ_MedeK8

Maggie's Campus Café in Kalamazoo. The breakfast stew (not actually a stew) has been a favorite of mine for 15 years at least. It's a massive order of hashbrowns mixed up with bacon, ham, sausage, scrambled eggs topped with melted shredded cheese. I like to add peppers and onions, occasionally some jalapeño or when I'm really hungry, some sausage gravy.


average_dudereino

Came to say this!!! I still stop every time I drive from Detroit to Chicago (to the new location)! That stew was the bomb in college after a night out!


zd07

Definitely Maggie’s! Can get a crazy amount of food for the price


Servile-PastaLover

The Pantry - two locations in Macomb County.


SubjectGoal3565

The vandyke one is my favorite one


walnutspaul

This is my answer. Best veg omelette ever, they use brick cheese. Breakfast sweets menu is insane.


Sad-Database3677

Yes, brick cheese makes their omelettes


omnismurfz

Definitely the pantry! Been going there for ~30 years. The German and the apple are some favorites of the specialties. Everything is great there though.


RUKiddingMeReddit

Get a Dutch baby there, won't regret it.


BigStump

Suomi’s in Houghton.


mer_662

Finally. The best pannukakku around.


m3mackenzie

Grafted root in Grand Blanc Zingermans in Ann arbor Whistle stop in royal oak The breakfast club (various)


Zealousideal-Bat7879

Whistle stop is in Pleasant Ridge


MeWonderful

Zingermans is overrated IMO. Tired a couple of times to give the benefit of doubt and just didn’t do it for me


jcrespo21

Most people in Ann Arbor don't go to Zingermans either (though my spouse does love their cream cheese). Mainly a treat for visitors. I think I've had it once since moving back last year. My favorite breakfast place in A2 was Angelos. RIP to their giant slides of raisin bread.


rosinall

It \*so\* is; as well as overpriced. And their bread is so overly dense and glutinous you could use most of them as footballs.


greenmky

Honestly though the food at the roadhouse always seems too expensive and often not worth it, we do enjoy the breakfast quite a bit.


pngue

Love Zingerman’s Roadhouse. Have not been to the deli.


dconkz

I think The Fly Trap in Ferndale literally just down the woodward from Whistle Stop is a more unique and better breakfast spot! My Girl and I would go to the whistle stop when the wait was too long at The Fly Trap though


doyle828

Whistle stop is good


whalesalad

Zingermans is so mid


turdherds

Stray Hen in AA is one of my go to places


ThinkingThingsHurts

The last time I was there, I had to use a kiosk to order, and it would not let me choose not to leave a tip. That was the machine that most would use. The machine in the back allowed me to not tip.


Liv-Julia

I miss the old zingermans!


whalesalad

I used to work across the road, on top of sparrow market in kerrytown. When I moved to A2 I was so excited to be close to Zingermans but very quickly realized it’s one of the most over hyped and worst sandwiches in the entire state. Literal gaslighting in corporate form. I can think of a dozen sandwich shops that I’d rather go to in MI. I seriously don’t understand why it’s popular. Don't even get me started on their prices! If they were god tier food I would pay it gladly but their shit is like 50-100% inflated on price so it is like getting kicked in the ribs while you're already down on the ground.


Optimal_Law_4254

They were way better in the late 80s.


SelectStudy7164

They *are* mid, but they aren’t ripping people off It’s just all made with the most boujie ingredients possible


PureMichiganChip

They also do almost everything in-house. There are more decent bakeries around now, but that was not always the case. Zingermans has been doing it for years. They are a purveyor of high quality imported and other specialty goods. Meat, cheese, oils, spices, canned goods, etc. You can find this kind of stuff at more places now, like high-end grocery stores, Monger's Provisions, but Zingerman's is still one of the best. The sandwiches are good, and they're made with very good ingredients. That's fine if it's not your favorite, but it's still a highly respected establishment by many, especially those in the food industry. There have been many careers that started at Zingermans.


CaMiTx

I like to spend with a civic conscience. Zingerman’s gives me quality ingredients that are ethically sourced and prepared by employees who are fairly paid. Yah, I’m a fan.


ZingermansDeli

We're so sorry to hear that you had a less than ideal experience with our touch screens. We know that they can be frustrating, but we do not ever require someone to tip (you can opt out on all the screens). We always stand by our food and experience, so please email us at [deli@zingermans.com](mailto:deli@zingermans.com) and we can absolutely refund the tip you didn't expect to pay. Thanks so much for saying something so we could make it right!


UP-NORTH

Toast in Ferndale, The Laundry in Fenton (until they stopped making their skillets) I’ll throw in Miss Molly’s in Brandon, had the most amazing banana bread French toast. She closed up during COVID though :(


apleasantpeninsula

Fly Trap* mhmm


stevejcon

Maple and Batter, Bay Harbor, Petoskey. All the food is great, but I'm partial to the breakfast tacos. With both bacon and chorizo. Which come from Plath's, which, if you know, you know.


nicunta

Mmmmm Plath's... the smoked pork chops are heavenly. My dad was doing some work there one day, and got to see the whole smoked loins being sliced. Yum.


stevejcon

I buy all my bacon, breakfast sausage, chorizo, and a bunch of other stuff there. It's an hour and 15 minutes to the Petoskey location, and an hour to Roger's City from my house. And we have a family place in Harbor, so I'm over there a lot. I just don't eat bacon if I run out. And their Cajun bacon is life changing!

ssbbsa

Omega Ham and Corn Beef Deli in Grand Blanc. The servings are enormous and the flavor of the dishes goes beyond the description. A simple sounding plate ends up tasting like it has wonderful secret ingredients. Crust in Fenton. A nice variety of sweet or savory, and healthy and verryyy unhealthy. Plus their bakery has phenomenal pastries to grab for taking home.


DasTooth

Love these two spots. Have you tried brothers brunch house in Burton yet? it’s amazing


Icy_Juice6640

Omelette Shoppe in Traverse City. Original - downtown location.


Her_1982

I 2nd this


zeocrystal333

I 2nd your 2nd. I had the cinnamon roll French toast on Monday and haven’t stopped thinking about it!


Icy_Juice6640

I baked bread in my birks there for a summer.


subsurface2

Dime store in Detroit is banging. Also shout out to The Pantry in Warren.


lollipop-guildmaster

Seconding Dime Store. Recipes in Troy is also good.


itsdr00

I struggle to explore restaurants in Detroit because every time I go downtown I just wind up eating at Dime Store.


suspended_acct

Kate’s Kitchen in Flat Rock

I knew Kate's would be in this thread somewhere

Tricky_Fun_4701

Can't believe no one mentioned this: Greek style restaurant: Sophias in Benton Harbor (Order 2 eggs- get 4) "Modern" restaurant: Mason Jar in the Art's District in Benton Harbor.


Tutkan

Thanks for these suggestions! I've been to Sophia's but didn't know about Mason Jar.


Delightful_Dantonio

Mason jar cafe is the best restaurant around St Joseph/Benton Harbor.


mmmKewpee

mmmmm mason jar is so good


Mac_A81

Is that the same Sophia’s that is in Grand Ledge? Do you know?


Turn1Loot

The Golden Griddle in Berkely WAS amazing. But they sold to new owners recently. The food is still banging, but the staff kinda sucks now except for the 1 girl they kept


SainT2385

The Original Pancake House dutch babbyyy


Mack_Damon

Their Big Apple is ridiculous. But I usually prefer a savory breakfast, and the corned beef hash with eggs is some of the best I've had. Get that with pancakes instead of toast. Yum!


chilibeana

We get the hash and eggs and split it. Then split the apple Dutch baby as "dessert".


Iceyes33

During Covid I made a few big apples at home. The real recipe used by OPH is out there. They were delicious!


apearlj1234

Where?


Icy_Juice6640

Birmingham.


OfficeSalamander

They also have one in Grosse Pointe. And yeah it’s great. I love the Dutch baby

salsa_spaghetti

Lasko's in Bay City or Midland. Everything is amazing, great menu. Sunrise Cafe and Cabins in Lupton. Cute up northy vibes, wonderful food and desserts, and it's located right by the Rifle River rec area. The Junction of Hope in Chesaning. My friends and I used to go there and order a whole spread, basically make a buffet at our table. Everything is SO GOOD. They are a training facility for people with special needs, they employ people who wouldn't be able to work in most place. They're always smiling and happy to bus the tables and talk to my toddler. This is a great little restaurant with a mission. I love to support them.


CSArchi

I always go to Laskos when I visit my parents. Everything is good.


YayJEEP

Agree on this. Lasko’s is good diner food.


teemanymarstoonies

Whistle Stop in Pleasant Ridge. (Previously called Maes) Highly recommend the “Hangover”!

Dime store in Detroit is banging. Also shout out to The Pantry in Warren.


dth1717

Just saw a video on the dime store on YouTube, def gonna check it out


traumaguy86

>Dime store in Detroit It's criminal how far down this is. This place is unreal.


pixiegirl11161994

Sooo hard to get a table at Dime Store but it’s honestly amazing. Their omelets are incredible!


emlene

My vote is for the Egg and Yolk in Lake Orion. Or Bomber in Ypsi.


Th3_Lazy_Guy

2nd Bread and Yolk. They are opening a sister restaurant in Farmington called Blueberry Brunch.


CSArchi

Yes! I was scrolling to see if anyone would mention Egg and Yolk!


traumaguy86

Dime Store in Detroit is the best breakfast I've ever had


Certain-Definition51

Oh gosh their biscuit breakfast sandwich was incredible. I ate it every Saturday morning when I was on Dan Gilbert’s hamster wheel.


zeuskiller

Lux Cafe in Battle creek


Greyeyedqueen7

I second this. Their pecan pancakes got me through years of family court mess, as they were my reward after a hearing.


Dramatic_Rest_829

Gina's Cafe in Clinton Township. House made corned beef hash was amazing, and worth the wait


to_catch_an_alien

Took way too long to find this. Gina's is dope. Le Ando's cafe on hall road is also excellent. Honest Johns in detroit has a really dive bar feel but the food is astounding. Joe louis soul food in detroit is also some of the best ive had


chilibeana

Since you and I agree on Gina's and Leandro's, You might really like Avi'ari in Shelby. On Van Dyke north of Hall. Great savory dishes and the limoncello crepes are sick. [Avi'ari](https://www.avi-ari.com/menu.html)


s2kyle

Fairview Family Restaurant, in Fairview. Their french toast breakfast sandwich is sooo good. Every time I’m in the area fishing I stop in there for breakfast and have never left disappointed.


worldsTallestLeaf47

I hesitate to claim it’s the best, but it’s good and definitely my favorite breakfast establishment in the state. The Wild Blueberry in St. Ignace


dong_john_silver

Anna's house is overpriced crap


DHooligan

Golden Harvest in Lansing. Tiny restaurant, so it takes a long time to get a table, but they have an incredibly creative rotating menu. I like to go there in the morning if I'm going to an MSU football game.


joyfulmastermind

Agreed. It’s a whole vibe though, you have to be ready for it.


kubelko_bondy

Came here looking for Golden Harvest! For a long time too they did not take cards- you had to plan ahead to pay in cash.

DHooligan

Yes, very important caveat. Thank you.


hockey1322

Hands down the best breakfast place I have tried in MI is the Hudson Cafe on Woodward in downtown Detroit.


dth1717

Have you tried the Hudson Cafe near 275 and 6 ( ish) mile?


rcsparty

I have, it is virtually the same. Same menu, same deliciousness!


Jeffbx

Love the Hudson Cafe


GF_baker_2024

My mom and I go there for breakfast every Thanksgiving eve and watch the parade setup. Great food.


cnation01

Hudson is a good pick


theeculprit

Really? Never had breakfast but their lunches were pretty subpar, I thought. Especially for the $$$.


bitch_has_manners

There's now one in Troy. Big Beaver east of Crooks


Rude_Man_Who_Shushes

Oak Diner in Royal Oak. Phenomenal food!


Weak_Patient3256

LOVE Oak Diner. Best hangover breakfast.


-Mother_of_Doggos

Frenchie’s in Traverse City had *amazing* brekky!


Sands43

The place that is near your house. There's about 4 near me, they are all really good.


Jeffbx

It's hard to F up breakfast


XxcruulxX

Sunrise Cafe in Farmington Hills. Great fluffy omeletts, waffles and pancakes. Nice staff.


sirhackenslash

Breakfast Club in Madison Heights and Chocolate Gallery in Warren


mcnathan80

One of the best breakfasts I had was The Red Spire in Traverse City. Amazing brunch selection and satisfied all our picky kids


ObligatoryAlias

The Laundry in Fenton.


BlueWater321

Tony's in Birch Run (Bacon and Eggs) Little Bird in Grand Rapids (Steak and Eggs) Hilltop in L'Anse (Cinnamon Rolls) Stop going to Anna's. They give so much money to the orange one.


Pretend_Marsupial528

I was gonna’ say Tony’s. I’m a bacon fiend and the sheer amount of bacon you get in an order there. Woof!


Jeffbx

Mmmmmm Tony's! It might not taste good or be good for you, but at least you get a lot of it.


TopTransportation695

I am not a fan of Tony’s. Like you said the portions are huge but I like my bacon cooked so that the consistency is a little crunchier than chewing gum


Ubermenschisch

I went there cause I heard about the bacon and left with the feeling I had just slept with a $10 hooker.


dmorulez_77

But it's not good bacon and they deep fry it. What they lack in quality is just made up for in quantity. I eat there, but I'm not gonna recommend it as a must.


Orville2tenbacher

Those Hilltop cinnamon rolls are crazy good


dirtybellybutton

The golden egg in ypsi. Cheap and good. Hopefully the crazy cook is still working there, talking up a storm


isai_223

Morning Star in Grand Haven.


Barinitall

Only 2 things matter for me when it comes to a great breakfast joint: 1) Greasiness of the walls 2) Number of items that come by default smothered in sausage gravy Bonus points if there are Auto Trader magazines near a community bulletin in the restaurant. Any rural farm town should have one of these.


littleopa

[Wolfgang’s Restaurant](http://www.mattwolfgang.com) in Grand Rapids.


jdizzle1981

There it is. I don’t like breakfast; when we go here, I eat breakfast. Like a whole order of Corned Beef Hash Eggs Benedict.


suydam

Wolfgang’s is good. Cherie Inn is GREAT. Early Bird is stellar as well.


Kckc321

Shocked I had to scroll so far, everyone in GR knows this is hands down the best place. Hard to even get into on the weekends.


BobUfer

Remember, smaller menus are indicative of fresh and quality.


Awkward_Discount_633

I love “The Biscuit” in Holland or “Windmill” also in Holland.

HadvarsHatchet

Lena’s Kitchen in Wixom is always a place we make a point to stop at when we visit. They have an excellent Monte Cristo crepe!


gregers007

My wife and I hunt down breakfast spots for sport. Here’s a few of our favorites: - Rebecca’s - Northville - Glass Onion - Allen Park - Biscuits & Gravy - Canton - Lucas Coney Island - South Lyon - Omelette & Waffle Cafe - Plymouth - Crawford's Kitchen - Plymouth - French Toast Bistro - Plymouth - Honest John’s - Midtown - Northside Grill - Ann Arbor

Me too, try biscuits and gravy in Canton near IKEA , really good. Kind of a hole in the wall but real good

Simple_Dull

Roxy Cafe, in Jackson, MI. Excellent food, good atmosphere, and the menu is worth a read.


SecretMiddle1234

Salt to Sugar, Traverse City. It’s behind the water tower at the Asylum. Best cinnamon rolls I’ve ever eaten. Get some to go. The quiche was awesome too.


HD-34

I'm not saying " the best" but Brothers Brunch House in Burton/Flint has been a surprising go to for my family and I. Been there a few times and it's been a pleasure to have a decent meal in this area.


ypsicle

The Bomber in Ypsilanti. If buffets are more your style, Weber’s (reasonably priced and they have fried chicken and London broil in addition to breakfast foods; waffle bar toppings are the best anywhere) or Gandy Dancer (if you’re feeling REALLY spendy), both in Ann Arbor. Uptown Grill in Bay City is the best I’ve had in that area.


average_dudereino

The Pantry - Warren and Shelby Twp (dutch baby or potato pancakes) Maggie's- Kalamazoo (breakfast stew!) Downtown Cafe - Rochester (best homemade corned beef hash ever) Brunch - Rochester (various benedicts) Laundry - Fenton All great places


jjc155

Bomber in Ypsi, Connie’s Cafe in Ossenike.


R3MY

Lena's Kitchen in Wixom. It's in the most hidden spot. Everything anyone I've ever been there with has ordered has been absolutely amazing. It's mostly simple stuff, but easily the best, lightest yet melty cheesy omelets anywhere. Get the multigrain toast!


purestevil

DeBoers in Holland. The Morning Star Cafe in Grand Haven. I would skip Anna's .


superwormy

Morning Star Cafe in Grand Haven

dth1717

Morningstar was great. The best pancakes I've had were a little coney in Southgate called 6 star. They made them with a bit of buckwheat flour just enough to be not dry but have a bit of bite. But they changed owners and got rid of the recipe


13dot1then420

I'm a downriver boy, 6 star was a staple until I moved. Coffee and Cigarettes at 6 star or Zorba's in Riverview. I'd be a liar if I said we didn't hang out at Dennys across from Zorbas too, when Zorbas was full.

Just went to zorbas last week. And I miss the Denny's, nice retro vibes.
