Avalon Cafe and Kitchen relocated earlier this year. The breakfast spot now sits at 224 S. Main St. in Ann Arbor, tucked beside Pretzel Bell off Main Street in a cozier setup than before.

This week's special? Chicken and waffles. Fried chicken is piled on top of a waffle dusted with powdered sugar, drizzled with maple syrup, and paired with a spicy dipping sauce. It'll cost you $10.

The new space stretches out in one long room. Customers order at a counter where a barista waits, snag their numbers, then find seats while their food is prepared.

Samuel Dodge stopped by and sampled the weekly special. His thoughts wound up in an article published at MLive. He was very impressed by the portions of sides offered at the eatery, saying, "If you have a young kid, these sides are the perfect size." The cafe lets diners tack on sides like avocado or bacon strips.

Cold weather brings warm drinks. This fall, hot apple cider arrives with a caramel shot mixed in.

The tighter quarters give off a laid-back vibe. Grab a drink and pastry on your way out if time's short.

Doors swing open at 8 a.m. and shut at 3 p.m. daily. You'll find it on South Main Street downtown.

Dodge mentioned the move hasn't hurt what comes out of the kitchen. He's covered their hash at brunch before in previous articles.

Avalon still holds its place in Ann Arbor's brunch crowd after switching addresses. Weekly specials change up, giving regulars fresh picks as seasons shift.
