Beezy's Cafe: Something to Hold On To

Wanna feel the love? It's pretty unavoidable at Beezy's Cafe in Ypsilanti, MI. Beezy's is a local brunch serving machine whose philosophy revolves around simple, honest food and top-notch service. Whether I'm preaching to the harmonious choir of Beezy Bodies or if you've never been - I'm here to promote the idea that a sense of pride can happen to a community through an honest business that has the best intentions.

THE FOOD!

(There once was a Breakfast Burrito on this plate but somehow it disappeared...)

Ladies and gentlemen and everyone in between, I am here to tell you as a health-concious student, Beezy's Cafe is the best option in town. Homemade recipes with no more than 10 ingredients. Everything is less than $8. And if you bring in a traveler's mug, you get a cup of coffee for $1! (Riiiight??)

Beezy's is open until 4pm and is known for serving perfectly portioned brunches to the town packed with starving students and artists. I'm usually found annihilating a Breakfast Burrito (eggs, chorizo, cheese, grilled to perfection) OR a Pepper & Egg Sanwich (eggs, sauteed onions and peppers, and parmasean cheese on sourdough bread) for breakfast. The best part? Breakfast is served until 2pm. Beezy's definitely knows they have customers who barely roll out of bed by noon...How thoughtful!

Lunch begins at 11am and includes salads, sandwiches, and ever changing soups that cause serious recipe envy. I usually go for a Beezy's Salad (mixed greens, pesto ranch dressing, carrots, radishes, croutons, chopped bacon, muenster cheese, sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, sliced chicken breast and egg salad) or an Avocado Veggie sandwich (sundried tomato pesto, avocado, roasted red peppers, red onion, lettuce and tomato).

But the original reason I became hooked on Beezy's is the soup. The glorious glorious soup. Everyday Beezy's updates Facebook and Twitter announcing two Soups of the Day. Pumpkin cheddar, cream of mushroom, vegan lemon broccoli, and creamy chicken noodle are just a FEW of the alternating options.

Owner, Bee Roll, never fails and never wastes. She'll add on a soup or a special (apple cinnamon french toast, corn beef hash skillets, etc.)  to make sure NO FOOD is wasted in the Beezy's kitchen.

To sum it up, you're gonna get a great meal when you come to Beezy's. So the next time you're starving before 4pm, go to Beezy's and eat some real food made by great people. It's that simple.

THE SERVICE!

 

Bee Roll is dedicated to the city of Ypsilanti. She is giving the community a sense of pride by providing a place where the public can hang out and eat deliciously healthy food.

Most reviews regarding the local treasure comment on the unique and friendly staff, "Behind the register, in the kitchen, around the dining room, everyone is pleasant and clever, quick with a joke but thorough in addressing questions about the food," said Evan Hansen of Metrotimes.

It's likely to find a line outside of the inconspicuous gold mine. As my favorite Beezy's employee likes to say, "People are willing to wait because they know they're getting the best food and service in town. If they get angry that we have a line, I can point them to a few places that NEVER have a wait...And they'll see why." (heh.)

The aromas from the kitchen and trendy layout stir good moods among the customers as they gaze at the mouthwatering list of options. A friendly worker will start a conversation with you and write down your order on a ticket. You then take the ticket up to another friendly worker (who will also share an awesome conversation with you) and they will place your order. You then find a seat in one of the bustling rooms and hear your name being called...Your food is up!

THE JOY!

Whenever an out-of-towner comes to visit me in Ypsilanti, I take them to Beezy's. It makes me feel cool, okay? It makes it seem as though I make awesome choices my in life and live in a really nifty city...which I do!
