ANN ARBOR, MI -- From green tea muffins to taro coffee syrups, Jenny Song is all about familiar ingredients in unique combinations.
The Songbird Café opened at 2707 Plymouth Road in Ann Arbor in 2012. Song, the co-owner, said her friends originally balked at the location, since there were “a ton of vacancies, even in this building.”
“Just knowing the north side, I was super confident — maybe even overconfident — that we would do well here,” Song said.
But the heart of the café is its unique menu. While on its face it seems filled with breakfast sandwiches and simple coffee drinks, a closer look reveals flavors combinations more geared toward adventurous diners.
Options include taro and buttermilk waffles, green tea muffins and rosemary sea salt lattes, as well as a pistachio-turkey sandwich and a sandwich inspired by a California sushi roll.
“We want to mix it up, but not scare anybody,” Song said.
The café's menu also features a Korean-American flair inspired by Song’s heritage, such as the use of taro and Korean barbeque. All pastries are made in-house.
“I actually think our gluten free chocolate chip is better than the regular,” Song said. “It’s made with brown rice flour, so it has this nutty flavor to it, so that is definitely one of my favorites.”
The Songbird Café recently closed its second location on Jackson Road, which will become a new location of 19 Drips. The Plymouth Road location, though, is going strong.
“I knew that this side of town needed something that had that local feel and uniqueness and was just a place where people could have a sense of community, meet up with friends,” Song said.
The Songbird Café, 2707 Plymouth Road in Ann Arbor, is open for in-person dining from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, with carryout available from 3 to 5 p.m. The café is also open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday. Find it online or by phone at 734-780-7100.
