Fred's

This place was recommended to me by a chef friend, so I stopped by for a very late lunch on a rainy Saturday and had the market plate breakfast. It hit the spot for something quick and light.

Cozy little spot where Fred himself greets you like you’ve been friends for years. We grabbed some sandwiches and smoothies — all legit — and he even threw in a surprise item just because someone said it sounded good. Who does that? Fred does. Cool vibe, great food, and bonus points for the free snack.

First of all, this is quite possibly my newest favorite spot to grab a bite in Detroit. What a gem. The food is incredible, fresh, with generous portions. I had the papaya salad and my partner had the brown rice bowl. Along with a smoothie and delicious strawberry iced matcha. I cannot wait to come back here & become a regular. SO GOOD!!!

All around great spot. Music vibes were on point. Food was delicious and service was awesome.

Fred’s Delivers on Healthy Comfort Food in Detroit ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5 stars) Detroit’s breakfast and lunch scene just got a major upgrade with Fred’s, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to have discovered this Eastern Market neighborhood treasure. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a warm, inviting atmosphere that perfectly balances modern aesthetics with cozy comfort—think fresh flowers on every table and thoughtfully curated details that make you want to linger. What truly sets Fred’s apart is their commitment to proving that healthy eating doesn’t mean sacrificing flavor or satisfaction. Their breakfast sandwich is a masterclass in execution: perfectly melted cheese cascading over what appears to be an expertly prepared egg, all nestled in a beautifully golden, artisanal bun. The attention to detail is evident—even the black pepper sprinkled on top shows they care about the final presentation. My favorite so far is the Brown Rice Bowl with grilled chicken with a strawberry matcha. The presentation of every dish and drink is Instagram-worthy without trying too hard. That gorgeous ridged plate elevating the breakfast sandwich? The fresh flower arrangements? The contemporary art work adorning the walls? These touches show that Fred’s understands that we eat with our eyes first, and they’re clearly committed to making every meal feel special. What impressed me most was how Fred’s has cracked the code on healthy dining—this isn’t rabbit food or bland “wellness” cuisine. This is thoughtful, delicious food that happens to be good for you. The portions are generous, the flavors are bold, and you leave feeling energized rather than deprived. The service is always attentive without being overbearing, and despite being a newer establishment, they’ve clearly worked out the kinks. Food arrived promptly and at the perfect temperature. Detroit has needed a place like Fred’s—somewhere you can grab a quick, healthy breakfast before work or settle in for a leisurely lunch with friends, knowing you’re fueling your body with quality ingredients. Whether you’re a health-conscious foodie or just someone who appreciates well-executed comfort food, Fred’s delivers on all fronts. This is the kind of neighborhood spot that becomes a regular habit, and frankly, Detroit is lucky to have it. **What to order:** Don’t miss the breakfast sandwich if you’re there in the morning, and definitely try the brown rice bowl. **Perfect for:** Solo dining, casual meetings, weekend brunch with friends, or when you want to eat well without the fuss of a formal dining experience.

Food was amazing, staff was superb! Fav new spot in the city.

Absolutely phenomenal experience from start to finish. The food was out of this world—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between upscale and welcoming, and the customer service was top-tier. You can tell a lot of heart and pride went into this place. Can’t wait to come back!

Incredible service and food!! We had a large group and they were extremely accommodating. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend to others.

Thoroughly enjoyed breakfast at Fred's while visiting Eastern Market. Had a delicious Egg Sandwhich made with free range soft scrambled eggs, Tillamook cheddar, avocado and spicy mayo on Zingerman's challah roll! Delicious!!! The Avocado Toast was an ample portion with pickled red onion, arugula, sunny side up free range eggs and balsamic on Zingerman's sourdough. The Beet Salad is VERY unique- red and green golden beets, sunflower seed hummus, dried cranberries, parmesian and red wine vinaigrette. Beverage was an iced Latte made with almond milk with vanilla flavor - very yummy. Service was friendly and helpful for newbies. Indoor and outdoor seating. On Gratiot across from Gratiot Central Market. Highly recommended!

This is the cutest new breakfast/lunch diner in the Eastern market area. A couple of outdoor tables are available and they have some seating inside as well. The look inside is simple and very clean cute vibe. All of the ingredients here are super fresh and high quality- literally have never seen a more perfect avocado on my bowl. I just wish they were open on Mondays but hopefully that will come in time!
