Recently, I visited my brother and sister-in-law in Ann Arbor to welcome the new addition to our family. After a long weekend of chasing toddlers around and staring at my beautiful new niece, nobody was in the mood to cook breakfast on Sunday.1 We went to the Classic Cup Cafe, which was just a short jaunt away from my brother's place.The atmosphere when we walked in was extremely pleasant. It had the feel of the old school diners my grandfather took me to in rural Indiana mixed with contemporary decor. It was kind of like the TARDIS, in that it felt new and familiar at the same time.2 Don't get me wrong, I enjoy going to a big chain restaurant myself, but I really enjoy the vibe you get in a locally owned establishment.

Almost.

If you're up in Ann Arbor, give them a visit. Your stomach and wallet will thank you.
As always, Keep Calm and Eat On!
