    The Hot Pocket Change

    Best cafe in Detroit. The absolute best. Food and drinks are unbelievably good. Fred and the staff are amazing.

    Aminah K.

    Fred's has the best breakfast. It has a charming, contemporary vibe. You order at the register and they seat you at one of their tables. Seating is a bit limited and you might have to wait in line if going at peak times. We ordered the the Market Breakfast Plate and Breakfast Burrito sub meat for avocado. The spicy harissa sauce and herb labneh was so delicious and flavorful. The burrito had a spicy sauce that gave it a unique flavor. I loved how simple, yet creative their menu items were. Everything tasted so fresh. I enjoyed my carmel banana latte. They used Roos Roast beans, which is one of my favorites. The staff is incredibly kind. I can see this becoming a regular spot for me. Highly recommend checking it out.

    I ordered take out from Fred's for lunch and it was delicious and really good. I ordered the tuna melt and the beef tallow fries. The tuna melt was fresh. The fries were really good. Ordered a regular Latte with 2% milk and it was also really good. Overall solid lunch place.

    Everything was perfect at Fred's! Caris greeted us and took our beverage order which was fantastic and then she suggested we order intend to share to try more and I'm so glad we did! That burrito was so great!!! The pudding was perfectly sweet and those sweet potatoes were delightful. I can't wait to go back!

    Needed a Breakfast that was good, and refreshing. Fred's came up...Menu looked inviting...Instant Yes, when someone opened the door and Welcomed us in. ( let me add) the buildings south of the restaurant are vacant DON'T LET THAT STOP YOUR EXPERIENCE IMMEDIATELY: The Flowers on the tables the antique Glass Water dispenser setting, positive quotes on the walls will let You know good choice You order at the counter the Team was pleased to answer any questions. BTW Your Hot drinks are served in Real Cups/with handle not a Paper cup I was gonna share the Lox sandwich on sour dough bread. When I saw the huge size I said oh dear I should have. However I could not stop eating it. Kinda felt like I had found a bit of NYC city neighborhood restaurant on Gratiot in Detroit. Oh watch out for the meter persons

    Market Breakfast Plate
    Mark P.

    Fred's has quietly become our Sunday ritual after the gym and our new go to brunch spot. It is tucked into a row of newer shops off Gratiot by Eastern Market, with big front windows that flood the space with light. You order at the counter, grab a seat, and food just appears at your table. Service is consistently kind and the flow works really well. My usual is the Kale and Brussel Sprout Salad with grilled chicken (4.5/5). The dried cranberries, Parmesan, and light sweet vinaigrette hit that sweet/salty/tangy mix and play nicely with the chunky brussel sprouts and kale. The chicken can be a touch dry at times, but it is always well seasoned. The Egg Sandwich (4/5) is a very solid breakfast sandwich. The eggs are always cooked perfectly soft, and with avocado, cheddar, and mayo on a challah roll you are in rich, cozy territory. For my taste it could use a bit more texture, but the quality is there. The Hot Potato side eats like a full meal (4.5/5). Crisp potatoes with spicy mayo, garlic, and a blanket of shredded Tillamook cheddar. Hard not to finish the whole thing. The Crispy Brussel Sprouts (4/5) are another favorite. The portion is generous, the red wine vinaigrette is used lightly, and the labneh and green apple give brightness to what is basically deep fried sprouts. The only downside is the oil that gathers at the bottom, which is sort of the cost of doing business with fried brussel sprouts. The Market Breakfast Plate is the star for us (5/5). Perfectly cooked eggs, creamy labneh, spicy tomato harissa, fingerling potatoes, greens, and Zingerman's sourdough that is ideal for dragging through the harissa and yolk. It is the plate we keep coming back for, every single time. Shoutout to Earl for making some of the best eggs we have had in Detroit. If you are near Eastern Market and looking for brunch, Fred's is absolutely worth a stop.

    444 ever glowing smoothie
    Tiffany S.

    First meal of 2026 and it was at Fred's. This was the old Collect Beer spot if IIRC! I also have NO idea if this spot is related to the Fred's that used to be in Ann Arbor (RIP) but Detroit Fred -- I love you already. We had the following and I'm listing in order of MUST order - but honestly no misses for me - all so so delish and fresh! *444 Ever Glowing Smoothie (carrot, pineapple, ginger, turmeric, orange, collagen): 444 is an angel number but apparently the owner's wife also owns 444 pilates so there's a connection here with the naming here. This smoothie slapps. It's like the wellness shot we all know and love but make it tasty! *Breakfast Burrito (free range soft scrambled eggs, cheddar, barbacoa, chilaquiles, mango salsa & chipotle cream) - we made it a bowl and wowow, it's the way to go. So flavorful, the fingerling potatoes in it were so lovely and beautifully crispy. *Spicy chicken sandwich (chicken schnitzel, kale, cucumber, pickled red onion, cheddar & spicy mayo on zingerman's sourdough) - I LOVE this take on a spicy chicken sando, so unique! Liked the slight heat on the spicy mayo too. *Fred's Smash Burger (double patty smash burger, american cheese, bread & butter pickles, grilled onions & house burger sauce) - SOLID SOLID smash burger. so flavorful and perfectly cooked. *Mediterranean Salmon Bowl (grilled salmon, pearled couscous, herbed labneh, tomato, cucumber, pickled red onion, fresh dill) - I could eat this every single day for lunch if you let me. So tasty, well balanced - with the tangy labneh. Yum. I'll definitely be back to Fred's - the food is pretty remarkable and there's so much more to try. The acai bowl looked awesome. So did the ricotta toast (huge fresh berries!). Street parking!

    Vanilla latte

    Fred's is a small cafe located in eastern market area of downtown. There was plenty of street parking in front of the building. It was definitely busy but everyone working was friendly and checked in on us frequently. The breakfast sandwich was full of flavor. I loved the egg skirt on it. It was definitely filling on its own. You can also add breakfast meats to this too. The rest of the party all had positive things to say about their dishes and coffees. Worth checking out for a quick coffee or sit down brunch!

    Breakfast burrito and side of breakfast potatoes

    Fred's and I go together real bad! Have dined in and dashed from Fred's...either way I have received food from here it never misses. Any of the food I have tried is delicious and are huge portions. Prices are incredibly fair and a great value for the quantity of food you receive. Looking forward to eating my way through the entire menu here and you can't go wrong with anything on the menu truly. Anything I've tried so far is delicious. The coffee is also great and dare I say some of the best I've had in the city. I'm a bit of a latte and cappuccino snob and they do a great job here. Although it's a bit of a smaller spot, the turnover is very quick. You order from a counter and your food is brought to you. The kitchen is speedy! Open for breakfast and lunch.

    Cappuccinos
    Maisha R.

    Fred's used to be one of my favorite brunch spots in Ann Arbor, and I was so heartbroken when it shut down. Not 100% sure if this is the same business but I was ecstatic to see this open up in Detroit and had to make my way over. My friend and I enjoyed their cappuccinos with a hint of their house made syrups - I had pistachio and she had maple cinnamon, and both were divine. This was the best coffee I've had in a while! The food, although took a while to come out, did not disappoint. I had the breakfast burrito turned into a bowl with yummy crispy potatoes and my friend enjoyed her market bowl. One of the owners popped by as well and was super friendly, as was all of the staff there! Can't wait to be back to try more of the menu here.

    Ricotta cheese toast
    Raul C.

    Fantastic little place for brunch! The team here makes a great job anda a great meal. Top recommendation is the spicy chicken sandwich and the nova toast. Good coffee and good food. We did not try the smoothies but they seem to be very popular. The ambiance is independent, chic and easy going. Absolute recommendation and congrats to the place.

    Spicy Chicken Sandwich (1/2)
    Bonnie M.

    I ordered the Spicy Chicken Sandwich, it was so good! It comes with chicken schnitzel and wasn't too spicy. Looking forward to my next visit! This is in the former Bunny Bunny location.

    Breakfast Burrito as a bowl with a banana caramel latte (bottom) and a market breakfast plate with a vanilla latte (top)
    Munzer R.

    This is so far my top brunch spot of 2026. Right next to the Eastern Market area, it's in a fantastic location and you can find street parking in front pretty easily. It's a moderately sized space, but we were able to just walk in. I ordered the breakfast burrito as a bowl and the banana caramel latte. The latte itself was incredible, it really blew me away and I absolutely loved the flavor. The burrito bowl was also amazing, huge portions that I was not able to finish and so much flavor. Will definitely be returning soon and making this my go-to brunch destination. Cannot recommend enough!

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.
