    Was looking for a breakfast spot the other day, and Google led me to Effin Egg. I know the area well, but had never seen it for some reason. A gem was in view without realizing it. Upon entry, I knew I made the right decision. I was greeted immediately after entering. I was happily surprised to see the number of food and beverage options available as I waited to place my order. While waiting for my order, I even noticed the cleanliness and how the staff interacted with their regular customers. Everything I ordered was delicious. The brisket and queso effin grits though were !!! I was able to briefly chat with the owner's sister before leaving and promised to share a review. I will definitely be visiting again now that I know about them.

    Nice cozy little establishment, friendly service. The food was just ok. The chicken was hard, the eggs and sauce was the best part, the tater tots were OK. The honey bun latte could use some improvement as well. I ordered 2; one tasted like water, the other tasted like milk and sugar... The grits were not as comforting and creamy as described. I'd suggest maybe cooking them a bit longer and slower to get rid of that super grainy texture. I could've made grits at home, but I didn't feel like cooking and we didn't have any eggs or grits.

    I feel like I should blame Yankees catcher Austin Wells and his burrito rankings during the 2025 baseball season for my recent breakfast burrito cravings... leading to me ordering from Effin Egg on a whim after having a craving one morning. It wasn't just a breakfast burrito in my order, but a honey bun latte and a couple other items (to split with my travel buddy) as well. Unfortunately, the side of thick cut bacon that came with my takeout order was pretty much burnt... womp womp. While the honey bun latte was quite tasty, I also found the steak & eggs burrito that I ordered to be lacking some flavor. I had asked for a couple sauces on the side (because I wanted to taste the burrito on its own first), but I found myself using up the sauces pretty much entirely after finding that the burrito itself was lacking flavor. And while the effy sauce was supposed to be a spicy mayo-base sauce, I just didn't get any spice... and that's saying something, because my tastebuds are delicate little things. Service was pleasant enough, though I only wandered in to get my takeout order and head back to the hotel. Small-ish inside and covers the basics. It's a nice option to be able to order from a kiosk/station and not necessarily have to talk to anyone (let's be honest... we all have those days where we don't want to talk to anyone! Haha). TL;DR If I'm ever traveling through Detroit again, I might go back and try some other menu items. That said, what I did try most recently was pretty "meh", and there are plenty of other options around Detroit to try out a good breakfast.

    I'm very happy to have another breakfast catering spot nearby. These little breakfast sandwiches are absolutely perfect for meetings. They present well, are wrapped individually and easy to grab and aren't messy to eat. High quality buns, eggs, cheese and meat - delicious. They delivered through EZ Cater right on time; highly recommend.

    This spot! So. So. Good. Effin Egg had welcome-back-to-Aunties-house vibes. You're be welcomed by the modern, comfy atmosphere. You can expect to order at the counter with friendly staff (who have fantastic recommendations by the way) then find a seat until your order is called out for pickup. I tried the Nashville Hot as a burrito. Super delicious with that salsa verde. My daughter enjoyed the Jax Sausage and Egg sandwich on the GF bun. (Yay they have that!!) She liked it so much she thought about ordering a second one. If you're local, please try it out. Worth your time for sure!! ALSOOOOOO, consider donating towards their giving board. You can pre-pay a meal for those in need. We actually witnessed someone stopping in for a hot meal through this program. Fantastic community support.

    Literally my favorite breakfast spot in Detroit! I will always recommend it to people. I had the burrito this time and it was super flavorful and filling. I've also tried the breakfast bowl before, and that was just as good. Honestly, you can't go wrong at Effin Egg, everything I've had has been delicious. There's a nice outdoor area that's perfect on a good weather day, and while there's some space to eat inside, the vibe is definitely more grab-and-go.

    We tried Effin Egg for breakfast and decided to order online ahead of time, since some reviews suggested that was the smarter move. Unfortunately, it didn't really help. We still ended up waiting 30 minutes for our food, even though our bag sat ready on the counter for about 15 of those minutes before anyone handed it over. The whole place just felt unorganized. They also forgot to include our drink in the order. On the bright side, the burritos themselves were actually good, but honestly, the hassle wasn't worth it. We won't be going back.

    Well, it was great the last time that we were here... Today staff went above and beyond to mispronounce my name. I had a Nashville chicken burrito and the chicken had no battery or flavor. Nor did the eggs. The Ambiance was the same as last time.

    great spot! i had the OG breakfast sandwich, the thick cut bacon is amazing and everything tasted so fresh! such good food but i've waited a while for my food every time i've gone, but still a great experience overall :) the atmosphere is nice and clean and somewhere i would visit again !!

    The restaurant itself was charming and fun. I loved the seating along the window. The food was priced reasonably and was very good. They were out of GF buns when we went, but we were able to order a bowl (normally comes as a wrap) on their electronic order board easily. The food took a little while to come out. But it was worth the wait and the restaurant did a great job keeping all the orders coming out in the order of people arriving. They appeared to get a lot of online orders considering all the people that came in from Door Dash and other food carriers. That means we need to come back and try more dishes! Overall, I recommend checking this place out. With a fun name like "Effin Egg", why not!?

    This was my first time here. I came for brunch and I liked that you can order at a kiosk. The food took about 10-15 min to come out and I sat inside. There isn't much seating inside as it's a pretty small. I ordered the mama burrito with vegan chorizo and it was pretty good but My boyfriend ordered the Javier burrito and I really liked that one! we also ordered the donut balls and they were soooo extremely sweet that they weren't enjoyable sadly. Overall this is a nice quick breakfast spot and I'll be coming back o try more menu items!

    Chicken N Waffle
    Yana G.

    The chicken and waffle was great! The breakfast burrito was thin and not full. It didn't look like the photos. I was initially ordering only for the burrito but was curious about the chicken and waffle. Glad I got both. I definitely will be returning because the customer service was amazing. Ambiance was its breakfast and good eats time!

I need not have worried; there was parking closer by. Oh well. The restaurant is tiny. And it maximizes the space by lining its walls with colorful bottles of wine, chic and cher containers of olive oil, and pots of artisanal honey hiding here and there. My friend pointed out the breathtakingly beautiful bouquet of dried flowers hanging over our table. I should have taken a photo when I had the chance. I started with the spiced brown sugar latte, made with oat milk. Delicious and sweeter than I thought. Even though the menu is small and curated, I could not decide between the nosh plate, the biscuit brekkie, or the quiche, which was the special of the day. So I ended up with the quiche but added the biscuit and bacon - I did not want to miss out. The crust of the quiche was fine, but the custard-like filling was divine, more like a savory crème brûlée or flan. Service was quick and efficient. Our reservation was made for one of the predefined 90-minute blocks, so the staff was on top of getting and delivering our meals and bussing tables as soon as they emptied to make room for the next group of guests.

I normally do not like breakfast burritos since I find them really dry, but the eggs were moist and tender and ditto for the tortilla. I had the sausage, and it was diced and mixed in with the other ingredients, but it was more of a processed sausage (maybe chicken?) with a bouncy texture. Western Potatoes: This dish has diced red skin potatoes with thinly shredded cooked red onions and bell peppers. It has a coating of spice on it which made the ketchup unnecessary as it was already so flavorful. The inside was fluffy, but the outside had no crisp and was slightly oily. I know part of it was due to the fact that it was delivered, but I wasn't a fan still.  Veg Life Quiche: This was a good quiche. The egg were tender with the addition of buttermilk, and it was teeming with spinach, tomato, onion and topped with cheddar cheese. The crust was a standard crust.  This is a solid option for catering if you want to have a more unique place than the standard chain restaurants. I liked how everything was almost all pre portioned out too.
