Detroit’s 19 Best Breakfasts

"An homage to owner Kris Lelcaj’s father, Babo (Albanian shorthand for dad) is an all-day diner in Midtown. The menu comprises creative, artisanal takes on comfort food classics. The lemon ricotta pancakes are a sweet way to start the day; kimchi fans may favor the kimchi patatas bravas, which deliver a nice, subtle heat. The spot’s challah bread is nothing to sleep either and and its thick, buttery edges make for the perfect vessel for a breakfast sandwich." - Serena Maria Daniels
