Fred Gets

The Verdict

We think Fred Gets us. He 'gets' healthy eating and he 'gets' Melbourne’s takeaway needs for busy (cough, lazy) working bees. This particular Fred also gets how sometimes, mostly on our couch and Netflix days, we definitely need our food delivered.

Based in Like Minded Projects on Smith Street, Fred Gets is committed to healthy, fresh eating for workers on the go. The boutique café menu is mostly gluten-friendly and dairy-free, and all desk-friendly dishes are made without refined sugars. Expect fresh seasonal salads and golden corn fritters with avocado and chimmi churri.

The Bagel + Box option is ideal of committed one-hand eaters, with three hole-y options including probiotic nut cheese, pomegranate and micro cress with a coffee or juice and cookie. Because no matter how healthy you are, there's always room for a cookie. 

Delivery options include house-made pumpkin and tahini loaf, granola cups with chocolate peacans and bagels with biting curry oil. Don’t skimp on desserts like raw cookies and ACE’s baked cookie sandwiches.
