The young lady you have working at the counter is absolutely rude and miserable. Spend more time on her phone and talking with her friends then she does helping actual customers. Main reason I will no longer come in.
Yall are a staple in a2, time to clean house.

What a great spot for breakfast and brunch! Wonderful food, service, coffee, and humans. Be prepared to wait in line for food and a table but it moves fast. Scratch made goodies for every tummy.

Loved this place! I had the French toast and my son had the cinnamon swirl pancakes. Both were delicious and big portions. Sausage was good too. Line very long you wait to order then you find a table and they bring your food. Any coffee etc you pick up at the counter next to the one you placed your order. Long wait but only because had 1 cashier. Busy and definitely a great atmosphere. Will definitely go again. Great service and food came out quick. Trust me you will love this place.

After hearing a lot of praise for Stray Hen, I stopped through with a group of four for Sunday Brunch this fall — let me tell you, Stray Hen is quite an experience!

The ambiance of the restaurant really meets the desires of the clientele — clean, chic, and very Instagrammable. That said, if you come during a peak time, expect a solid wait (30 min or more). Stray Hen has adopted the approach of some brunch restaurants in bigger cities like Nashville, structuring the line such that you order up front and the food is brought to you, optimizing the throughput after ordering and leaving the bottleneck at the point of ordering. There are definitely pros and cons to this, but the upside is that there are usually tables open by the time you order!

The food and drinks similarly meet the needs of the Instagrammer; very nice to look and you’ll get a great story post from the food/ drinks. That said…. I was a little underwhelmed with the taste overall. The savory dishes were a little bland, and the sweet dishes were *crazy* sweet. Overall, you’ll probably get a similar tasting but less visually appealing meal at your local Coney Island. Is it worth a visit? Sure — especially if you’re looking to check it out once and keep exploring for other brunch spots after that.

Wife says 10 million stars out of 10 million.
The atmosphere was great, the food was delicious.
Ignacio who I believe was the food runner was so kind and helpful. He walked around staying on top of everyone’s needs and with a great attitude! Aside from the food being so delicious, he helped with giving this place 5 stars.

Solid place to eat. The food was good but not groundbreaking. Although for Ann Arbor it was pretty good value for the price. The place is a "order at the counter/find somewhere to sit place," so there's limited table service and you have to go get your own coffee refills.

I ate a breakfast burrito. It was good. The potatoes were a little under seasoned. Not a bad place for a super casual meet up or a quick coffee and a pastry if you're in or around State Street.

This is a town favorite. Heads-up, it is always busy. Sometimes, the line is backed out of the doorway in the warmer months. It can take 30 minutes to get through the line.

The food is really good. They offer various healthy breakfast and brunch items. You are sure to find something you like.
The atmosphere is also open and airy. Sometimes, it can be hard to find a seat, however.

Food is okay, but not great. Avalon cafe just a few blocks away is way better. Service is slow and the cashier/waiter was very cold too
