Description:
Bee Roll, Canada-born and Michigan-made, is the owner of the Ypsilanti restaurant, Beezy’s cafe, which pays homage to the simple and honest via a menu of fresh, locally-sourced ingredients.
Not one of Bee’s dishes has more than 10 ingredients. She attributes this minimalistic approach to cooking to her childhood, which found her living in Quebec, California, Oregon, Maine, Iowa and Michigan. In between the more moves between cities, she became quite good at adapting her cooking to the ingredients that were available — particularly those in Southern California. When she moved to this area, she looked for a locale that met her high standards and Ypsilanti needed Bee and her fresh food just as much as she needed a fresh start.
In 2008, just three months shy of her 31st birthday, she found the location for her restaurant on North Washington Street in Downtown Ypsilanti. This tree-lined street also has large planters filled with flowers, a mix of business and is near Eastern Michigan University’s college of business. Simple and honest food is a welcomed fit. “I fell in love with Ypsilanti. Having moved around so much — something about setting foot here and wandering around made me comfortable. It made me feel at home,” said Bee.
From the Author: Beezy's Cafe has become more and more popular. Everything on the menu is made in house, including the bread. One of her goals is to lure people away from fast food...and she seems to be doing it!
