Inn Season Cafe

500 E. Fourth Street
Royal Oak, MI 48067
www.theinnseasoncafe.com
One of metro Detroit's most well-known veggie restaurants, Inn Season is slightly off the beaten path of downtown Royal Oak -- but well worth the extra few steps. From classic soups and stir frys to inventive salads and pizzas, veggie burgers and daily specials, this restaurant promises "always fresh, always healthy, always in season." In the summer, a kitchen garden takes over the small plot of property so the chef doesn't have to leave to grab the freshest ingredients. There's no liquor license, but it offers fresh juices and smoothies, and desserts you won't even know are guiltless.
