Breadless features sandwiches wrapped in leafy greens like collards, swiss chard, and kale in place of bread.
Sometimes you just wanna enjoy a sandwich without the thick bread and extra calories that come along with it. For those moments, there’s Breadless, a new locally-owned sandwich shop that opened in Detroit on Monday.
Breadless features sandwiches wrapped in leafy greens like collards, swiss chard, and kale in place of bread. The sandwiches can also be served as a salad bowl, and there are both meat and vegetarian options available (the oyster mushroom club sounds delish).
The shop is located at 2761 E. Jefferson, down the street from Rivertown Market, and gives us “pick up food for a Belle Isle picnic” vibes. It's touted as healthy, low-carb, and gluten-free.
“Our sandwiches combine the nutrition of super greens with the flavor of fine dining,” the Breadless website reads. “Because it shouldn’t matter if you’re gluten-free, vegan, keto, Whole30 TM, or just plain tired of ordering off the menu — everyone deserves to eat good. Breadless is the next best thing to a garden in your backyard.”
Breadless has been two years in the making. Co-founders Marc Howland, Ryan Eli Salter, and LaTresha Staten announced plans to open the shop in the spring of 2021 back in 2020, but the opening date was ultimately pushed back.
This year they were awarded a grant from Motor City Match, a program that provides funding and resources to small businesses to help them get started.
Breadless is located at 2761 E. Jefferson, Suite A, Detroit; 313-474-2870; eatbreadless.com. Hours are Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
About a good idea as the 2am trip to the 7-11 bargain sushi bin
I can see it! Some local bakery is going to sue this breadless sandwich shop!
Lettuce wraps are popular here, five hours north of Detroit.
Bottom line: If you don’t make sandwiches, you ain’t running a sandwich shop.

I’m looking down at my bulging waistline and thinking “I hope this place takes over some of the struggling Subway shops out here.” Their menu page features some very appealing looking roulades, er, sandwiches: https://www.eatbreadless.com/menu
“For a quick snack, my wife and I will occasionally take a slice of some meat cold-cut, and roll it up inside a slice of swiss cheese.”
Occasionally I take a slice of cheddar cheese and wrap it around a small sweet gherkin. Yuummm....
Carbs are an addiction. Keto is the solution.
Why don’t they just call it a salad shop?
Rice wrappers are great also.
“Occasionally I take a slice of cheddar cheese and wrap it around a small sweet gherkin. Yuummm....”
Another variation on a theme is to take a slice of deli ham and wrap it around a small sweet gherkin. Also yuummm....
It looks like it would be good in a tortilla flatbread....
I love my bread. I love carbs and gluten. Nevertheless, I hope those of you who enjoy such things enjoy it. Lettuce is gross and bowl food is boring to me.
Some sub sandwich shops are offering “sub in a tub”, breadless subs. A good Italian-style sub bread is half of the sub sandwich lure to me.
