Morgan & York

I had an absolutely amazing caprese sandwich here – the best and freshest one you can get in the area with delicious crusty bread. I will be back!

Stingiest amount of corned beef on a Reuben any where in the area. Order the sandwich, open it up and find 2 slices — very thin slices — of meat.
But it’s not a stingy price. $ 10 !
Zingerman’s Reuben is $ 16.50 but it has 10 times the among of meat. M and Y’s is mostly bread. Better to go across town for a real Reuben.

We were very disappointed to order two sandwiches at fairly high prices and received sandwiches half of the size of what they should have been. After taking them home and cutting the sandwich in half to split, we looked at the minuscule amount of filling and were highly upset that they cost us over $ 25 after tax. I ended up returning them to the store and asking for a refund.
These are $ 5 more, and much smaller then the baguette sandwiches from another well known Ann Arbor deli (and in the case of the Roast Beef and Tellagio almost the exact same ingredients); but only a smear of cheese and two ounces of meat. We had gotten the Roast Beef and Tellagio from the other deli the prior week — and the less expensive sandwich had more of the delicious cheese and twice as much bread… made from similar, if not the same ingredients.
Considering the higher price, I was really looking forward to a substantial sandwich, but instead I had a substandard experience.

Asked 4 different employees to help pair cheese and wine. Thought it would be a natural question for a place that only sells wine and cheese. No one could help and all looked at me like I was strange for asking. Might be somethings to look into. Very pretentious without any knowledge.

I absolutely love Morgan and York for more reasons than one. :)
1. I am impressed by the new space since the renovation. There’s seating now and the atmosphere is relaxed and décor is natural and beautiful. I especially like the tall tables near the windows because I prefer to stand when I’m there to do some work.
2. Coffee is delicious. I personally think Mighty Good Coffee does it better in terms of making the actual coffee, but I am a fan of Small World Roasters. I believe M&Y is the only place in AA that uses Small World Roasters. You really can’t go wrong with M&Y or Mighty Good.
3. They have yummy salami! I do think their sandwiches and salads are something you can make at home with a fraction of the price!
4. There is parking! If you can’t find one in the front, try the back!

Wine — great selection
Coffee — excellent
Sandwiches — perfect
Cheese/​Meat Shop — excellent
Service — extremely good, justifies higher wine prices as compared to other AA wine shops. The staff is really quite amazing — they can put together an entire meat/​cheese/​wine session for you that compliments itself perfectly. Yes, everything is extremely expensive, however, it’s worth it! In comparison to other cheese shops in other cities, this one takes the cake in price, quality, and service.
This is another AA gem!

I love Morgan & York so much. I love cheese and wine, but I’m not an expert, so I love coming in here and just asking for suggestions. They never talk down to you or make you feel like an idiot for not being a wine snob. They’re happy to work with you in whatever price range you want, and I’ve come away with some new favorite go-​to $ 15 bottles of wine.
The cheese counter is my favorite though. Unfortunately, it has ruined my ability to go to Trader Joe’s and be happy with whatever cheese I find there because now it all tastes bland and boring compared to the amazing specimens I’ve had at Morgan & York. My go-​to favorites are triple cream brie and the discs of local goat cheese.
I’ve had a couple of sandwiches as well, which are a nice treat once in a while. The coffee is also quite good. I especially love their mocha. The counter can get quite busy on the weekends, especially on Saturday around the free wine tasting, so I like to stop by here on weeknights when I can.

Knowledgeable staff, friendly atmosphere, delicious sandwiches and soups. I’m a big fan of the beer and spirits selection and they stock kombucha beer! Wonderful coffee and teas made to order at the counter where you are able to sample and shop good cheese and deli meat.
If you happen to be on Packard, stop in, there’s something for everyone.

Being that they’re not a specialty coffee shop, it’s surprising to find some of the best espresso drinks in all of Ann Arbor. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly, and the recent remodel has improved the seating situation and the lighting dramatically.

Some nice high-​end booze, but some lengthy waits and the occasional wildly-​overpriced item.
I’ve always been quite happy with their single-​malt scotch selection, and they do have some interesting beers. There’s a solid high-​end deli counter, and enough bread, milk, and butter to save you a trip to a regular grocery.
I have had one fairly off-​putting experience: I recently saw Swedish farmer’s cheese (Hushallsost), the same Scandic brand that Ikea carries as one of their few non-​house-​brand foods. I figured it’d be twice as expensive as Ikea, and happily ordered a 1-​kilo wheel; at checkout it turned out even more expensive, and once home I found it gummy and old, on par with the worst shipments at Ikea. Not impressed.
The chocolate truffles are fine, but nothing spectacular; the balsamic vinegar was good, the lemon excellent, but the pear with pink peppercorns neither peary nor peppery.
Their markup is fairly steep — when there’s another place that carries the same item, Morgan and York will almost always be the more expensive. Sometimes I’m happy to pay a premium for selection; other times it leaves a sour taste.

I literally live where I live in Ann Arbor so that I could always be a short walking distance to Morgan & York. People often complain that it’s an expensive store — frankly, you get what you pay for, and I have regularly purchased items that were of better quality for a comparable or lower price to products you might find at Plums or Wholefoods. However, neither Plums nor Wholefoods has the atmosphere, staff, or events that make Morgan & York so wonderful.
Matt & Tommy are great people who really know their stuff. All the staff at M&Y are AWESOME. We never could have believed that a beautiful european-​style deli, with some of the best foodstuff to be had in Ann Arbor, would feel like such a positive extension of our family.
As someone who has lived in some of the major food hubs of the U.S. and Europe, I can say with complete conviction that Morgan and York is simply the best anywhere in the U.S.
I encourage everyone who loves eating and sharing food to shop at Morgan & York. Drop in, get a nice coffee, eat a nice pastry, and take home some beautiful cheeses, meats, and wines for the ones that you love.
Morgan & York will always be an important part of our lives. Thank you to everyone at Morgan & York for all that you do and provide.

Carl and Nicole crafted two of the best sandwiches we’ve had. Seriously. (Ask him for the horseradish-​blue cheese sauce on your sandwich! Ask her for the Serano/​Butter sandwich… she nailed it!)
Their locally sourced dairy products are yummy! Oh! And their coffee… a blend made specifically for them. It’s bold and creamy.
This place is a gem!

This was a very cute wine, beer and spirits store, enhanced with specialty foods. We stopped in to resupply some alcohol items and they had choices for everything we were looking for. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable.

They have a ton of different selections in condiments to cheeses and even imported sweets! Definitely worth a stop in!
I first discovered this place in October when a friend recommended it to me for the free wine tastings from 1pm-​4pm on Saturdays. Definitely a great place to start for people who don’t know much about wine. They have place cards you can grab that tell you where the wines came from. It’s interesting and informative which in my in opinion is a nice touch :)
Moving onto the Deli! I’ve been stuck on their Jamon Serrano & Butter sandwich that has family farmed butter in it! My mouth waters just thinking about how that butter melts in every single bite, yum! The second sandwich I’ve been ordering non stop is their Caprese sandwich! Don’t forget to add Prosciutto for $ 2.50 more because it truly brings it altogether with their house made mozzarella cheese. Everything is completely fresh, sliced fresh and the sandwich is made right there in front of you. Sounds delicious, huh? :D Once I get unhooked from these two sandwiches, I’ll order more from their menu and update: P
I love love love this place! Their deli is amazing. Just thinking about their sandwiches makes me want to go there right now, lol. Stop in and you won’t regret it ;P

If you love good wine, coffee, cured meats or just need inspiration for your next culinary endeavors, visit Morgan & York. Greeted at the door with a wine sampling table, I can’t think of a better way to begin perusing a store. Great marketing on their part. Get the patron loose and she will buy more! I love this place so that isn’t hard for me to buy more than I should.
This visit was a specific trip to grab a pound of Small World coffee. Which I quickly discovered that the SW coffee is labeled as Morgan & York, as 3 of the 5 offerings are a blend of roasted beans. After having an after dinner coffee at Logan’s (on Washington in Ann Arbor), we had to have this coffee in our cupboard. The guy at the meat counter helped me out tremendously. Called Logan’s to find out which blend or bean they served. (Sumatran) He refilled the carafe of olive oil I was after, and was happy to answer and explain any questions.
Such personal and attentive service is lost in so many stores these days. It really was a treat. I also noticed that there was a cheese and cured meats menu and a few tables for dining in. The meat guy also prepares boards, sandwiches and other munchies for those who would like to grab a taste in house.
I haven’t been brave enough to try the expensive hand crafted bon bons in the front case, but they look like they would make such an excellent gift.

Popped in this morning to grab some food for a party we’re hosting tonight and settled on a three month Gouda, small disk of local chèvre and a hunk of manchego. I also selected the prosciutto di Parma. While in the back area of the shop I saw that there were sandwiches and that there’s a wine and cheese tasting every Saturday. Ooooooh.
I couldn’t find much Dutch stuff; turns out the company that supplies M&Y with their Dutch deliciousness was bought out and carries far less Dutch stuff. Sad. I was able to pick up a few things for the Dutchies in my house (currently there are three).
Once I got home I asked the crew about the wine tasting and everyone was interested. We headed back and enjoyed three whites (delicious) and then got three sandwiches cut up for the five of us. We had the Serrano/​butter, prosciutto/​arugula and caprese. All were fantastic.
Next time: chocolate!

Morgan and York deserves positive marks for a nice atmosphere, friendly service, and a great beer and wine selection. They also have a cute, quirky selection of candy, which includes some European ones that are typically harder to find.
The sandwiches are above average, but I always wish they were better. On more than one occasion, I’ve had veggie sandwiches that distinctively tasted like cured meat– not terribly appetizing; also, an indication that the grill isn’t cleaned properly between orders. Finally, I agree with other reviewers that their prices are too high. I would ideally give them 3 ½ stars.

M&Y… I’m glad it exists and every couple weeks I feel like strolling over there… But I do end up a little underwhelmed. It’s beautiful, but its SO pricey. They have so much, but they also have so little. It’s is a great speciality shop, especially for wine, cheese, candids, meat, and fancy sodas.
The sandwiches are… Good. Not incredible, but definitely good enough that having tried a couple now, I still want to try more. They definitely use baguette bread, not sandwich bread. The bread is a little tough. The giant one-​dollar pickle is definitely worth it as a side, as is the $ 5 gazpacho.
I wish they had fewer wines and more groceries.

They have a «big kid» candy department with glass jars that you pick and choose to make your own candy sack. Bag sizes are small, medium and large; the prices are $ 14.00 a pound. They had amaretto and rum cordials, dark chocolate marzipan drops, hazelnut candies, fancy malted milk balls, expresso beans coated in, you guessed it, dark chocolate! They also had packets of Pop Rocks in flavors I haven’t seen since childhood, and lots of European specialties like nougat!
On the counter as I was paying I spotted rose and violet pastilles. I used to buy those and dare people to take one in French class!

Whilst living away from Ann Arbor, in much larger cities, I developed quite the wine habit. I always had my go-​to wine store where I knew I could find what I wanted and get good pointers from the staff for suggestions of other wines I might like. When I moved back home to Ann Arbor I found myself content just buy wines at the grocery store or maybe every now and then going to World Market for a bit of variety. Well, then I found Morgan & York and boy am I pleased.
They have quite a selection of varying prices and I enjoyed browsing around. I found a few interesting wines to take home and try and I am excited to go back and find a few more unique selections. The store also offers meats, cheeses, Sweet Gem’s confections and all sorts of other goodies which is definitely an added bonus.
I am very happy to have found Morgan & York and I will definitely be a repeat customer, but I did have to hold back a few starts because the staff just wasn’t as friendly as I would have liked (which is the most important factor to me in a wine shop). When I walked in no one greeted me and as I was browsing, though making eye contact with several employees, no one asked if I needed assistance. I never asked for help, though, as I was just browsing, but it would have been nice to have been given a better reception as a paying customer. Even at the checkout I didn’t experience a great amount of cordiality. Luckily I found what I needed easily, on my own, and was able to leave with a generally pleasant experience.
