Birmingham's Frank Street Bakery

Don't expect racks of bread upon entering Frank Street Bakery in Birmingham. They do make everything from scratch and offer a variety of homemade soups and sandwiches and several vegetarian/vegan options and locally made Ray's Ice Cream. We enjoyed the al fresco dining and our gazpacho and spinach quiche. A local favorite, too, is their hot pressed cuban sandwich. This café is a perfect lunch time spot.

Phone Booth in Royal Oak

An old fashioned phone booth is catching the eye of younger people who are not familiar with this antiquated way of communicating. It's now become a hot photo spot in Royal Oak by the Second Street Sub Shop. The murals were done by Martin Laprise out of Shelby Township. The sub shop is also a favorite for sandwich lovers made fresh on whole grain bread with lots of vegetarian options.

Beezy's in Ypsilanti

We loved our first experience at Beezy's in Ypsilanti this past weekend. There was service with genuine smiles, delicious sandwiches and homemade soups, fresh squeezed lemonade and yes, excellent coffee.  Located on Main Street in an 1865 historical building, Beezy's is a popular college hangout that is sensitive to vegetarian and gluten free needs. Don't you love the old percolator morphed into art work?
