JACKSON, MI – Cooking from scratch and fresh ingredients have helped Anna’s Porch Cafe serve the Jackson community for 22 years.
“Family, friends and a hidden gem,” is how owner Anna Kusterer describes the restaurant at 401 N. Mechanic St. in Jackson.
Once a place where ladies used to go for lunch, Kusterer is seeing a change in clientele.
“I noticed that a younger clientele was coming in,” Kusterer said. “A lot of young people want fresh, home-made, locally purchased produce. Once a woman brings a man here, we make him addicted.
The new coronavirus has had an impact on the business.
“It affected him a lot,” Kusterer said. “If it weren’t for the people getting the orders, I don’t know if we would be here.”
One change in the wake of the pandemic is that the Porch Cafe now offers breakfast all day. Other popular dishes on the menu include quiches, burgers and salads with homemade dressings, Kusterer said.
Chef John Jones describes his style as traditional.
“I like the aspect of being able to come up with different ideas for composing the menu,” Jones said.
Anna’s Porch Cafe is open 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Saturday. Call 517-783-4191. More information can be found at https://www.annasjacksonmi.com/
