By the brewery

When people say Memphis is underrated, this is exactly the kind of place they're talking about. This stumble-upon-it neighborhood cafe makes it feel like a local secret. The space is perfect for eating alone, as a couple or a small group. After you order, you make your own coffee or tea. It's so good! This place delivers on both cozy atmosphere and delicious breakfast/brunch experience. Whether you're planning a quick meal to-go or want to lounge for a lazy breakfast, this is your spot! We were both satisfied. Note: Though you make your own drinks, do not touch the to-go containers or you will get scolded. ‍

By the Brewery is a new South Main staple that I'd recommend anyone try for breakfast or lunch. The gardeny urban atmosphere really worked for me, with cool terrariums and wall art decorating the place. Theres also a healthy variety of biscuits, tamales, yogurt, and other delicious items to choose from. The service was super quick too and they have really friendly staff.

By The Brewery is a sleeper pick for a downtown breakfast. The parking is questionable. LOL! However the food and service is worth the question mark called parking. I can eat a pound of the smashed browns and a Tennessee Street biscuit without a problem. I also like the biscuit bowls. And the biscuits were good too. Bread is amazing.

Cute little brunch spot near the riverwalk in Downtown Memphis! We tried a variety of their biscuit sandwiches and all were delicious (if a little crumbly). I loved their serve-yourself coffee bar with syrups, sugar, and milks. Their outdoor patio is the perfect place to sit and enjoy a nice Saturday morning

We had a great experience, The food here is pretty good. The Tennessee Street Biscuit (The Chicken and Biscuits) was awesome w/ the honey, cheese, and eggs added. My husband had the Brisket Biscuit, it's also very delicious. We added the Smashed Browns and Gouda Grits for sides, the Smashed Browns was of course my other favorite. The food is very flavorful and service was great as well. Staff here is extremely friendly and made great recommendations too.Don't let appearances fool you--the decor may be divey, and small but the food here is fantastic. This place is perfect for brunch or a casual morning breakfast. This place is a must try if you are ever in Downtown Memphis , I know I'll certainly be back again again to try something different each time ...

Food was pretty good... we had no real complaints. It's pretty much a self waiting place. You place your order at the kiosk with the server and then you tend to your own drink. They have coffee, teas and soft drinks available in a fridge near the front. Service was pretty quick. We came in on a whim with my parents. We all enjoyed our food. We didn't have any complaints beyond them being out of a few things. Overall, we enjoyed our experience. The place is cozy and clean with good offerings.

I was seeking out a healthy and filling breakfast and I found the perfect spot. The Avocado Toasted is "thicc & tasty" with ample amounts of avocado, arugula, tomato, and an "egg in basket" on some premium bread.

This cafe showed up on my search, and since it was pretty close to my hotel, I decided to give it a try. When I arrived, I was greeted by a staff member. The menu was on a large board behind the counter, so I looked it over. They had breakfast sandwiches, sides, coffee, etc.I wanted something simple, so opted to get a biscuit with jam, side of gouda grits, and an iced coffee.After I ordered I took a seat and was able to get some work done, since they had wifi.Everything came out quickly. I dug into the buttery biscuit and added some jam to it. Let me tell you, it was fluffy, buttery, and just plain delicious. Each bite was better than the next.I then tried the gouda grits. They were rich, buttery, and cheesy. The cheese was gooey.The coffee was robust and delicious. Prices were very nominal for what you get (IMO).

Cute little eatery in what seems like an up-and-coming busy area. We weren't sure where exactly the Yelp directions were taking us but the walk wasn't unsafe or off putting. We were fine walking around getting to and from here on foot. Staff were helpful, attentive and super friendly. Cashier provided her recommendations and we ordered exactly what she stated was their go-to must try items. Though they were good at first, the more we kept biting into our dishes, the saltier they were. ICouldn't finish mine. Made me upset a bit since I don't like wasting food or money but I did my best to eat as much as I could but every layer of the sandwich was coated in salt. Coated.

Absolutely excellent! Great service! Quaint comfortable vibes! Food is packed full of intricate layers of flavor! Highly recommended!
