Zou Zou's

Zou Zou's in downtown Chelsea offers homemade soups and baked goods.

Profiles: Zou Zou's Cafe

If you are looking for a little piece of France this side of the Atlantic, take a step inside of Zou Zou's in Chelsea. The cafe prepares original baked goods, homemade soups, sandwiches, and salads. Marie-Ann Fody, the proprietor, takes care to create an atmosphere to accompany her homemade treats. With live music to bring in the crowd on nights, it's a happening place in downtown Chelsea.

As stated in the Ann Arbor News, "The building's original pressed-tin ceiling has been restored and a brick wall opposite the service counter exposed, giving Zou Zou's a rustic feel. There's limited prime seating along the front window and a smattering of two-tops that can easily be pushed together. A metal sculpture that resembles Cyrano de Bergerac dominates one wall, which also displays framed historic photos, including ones of Fody's family, taken decades ago in France. Local artists are welcome to hang their work on its walls, and - here's a twist - Zou Zou's also sells Pewabic Pottery."
