The Most Delicious Cafes in Memphis

Sunflower Cafe

★★★★★ 4.6 (663) • $

"This is a great spot to go for Vegan/Vegetarian. The food is very good and the staff are friendly. I myself am not vegan or vegetarian but I am completely open to eating it. Food is food :) To the meat eaters out there, go into these places with an open mind, I guarantee you will enjoy it. A good diet consists of "mostly plants" as I heard a doctor say once before. We as Americans eat too much meat I believe. Meat used to be a treat and a special thing. Saying that, yes I am a meat eater, and yes I probably eat too much meat. Now on to the review: I usually opt for their "you pick two" (Not sure if that's what it's called) but I get the soup option and a side. I don't get to eat out as often as I want but each time I have come here, it's always delicious and served with love."

Another Broken Egg Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.6 (348) • $$

"The pancakes are delicious! The chicken and waffles weren't bad but those pancakes are phenomenal! The service was great and our server was very helpful. They are pet friendly and their outdoor patio was perfect. My pup enjoyed himself. I was really pleased with the overall experience!"

Cheffie's Cafe

"Food was absolutely amazing, fresh salads, sandwiches are made to order so their fresh as well! Customer Service is top notch! Warm environment with friendly staff....."

Red Rooster Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.2 (144) • $

"Quick, cheap, and good breakfast place. I was in and out within an hour. The french toast was my favorite thing ordered. The server was nice and attentive, the place was cute inside and I liked how each section of the wall had a different little "theme"."

Starkville Cafe

★★★★☆ 4 (133) • $$

"Need I say anything more than "duck butter" with my pancakes?Ok, I'll add that the coffee was served in a cup that might date back to the first non-indigenous peoples. Authentic!Expect to wait your turn -- they move at the South's pace, not like NYC ... I think that's a plus."

The Waffle Taco

★★★★☆ 4.1 (103) • $$

"This is a cute little shop with a menu featuring American and Hispanic breakfast and lunch food. It was pretty busy when we went in but our server was kind and attentive. The food came out a bit intermittently, but it was fun for the kids."

Our Place Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.9 (94) • $

"Amazing country cookin!!! Jalapeño cornbread is the bomb! Friendly staff. Simple. Fair prices."

Arrow's Cafe and BBQ

★★★★★ 4.5 (66) • $$

"Solid place to eat, get the smoked chicken baked potato, it's good. Enjoyed the people, food and service."

Inspire Community Cafe

★★★★★ 4.7 (56) • $

"I've been to Inspire Community Cafe twice, both times to do a little networking or business collaboration. It is just a really neat place. The coffee has always been good. There are typically several people there in groups or by the singles. The vibe is fantastic. Small tables where 2 or 4 can gather, or pull them together for more. The decor is very casual and low key. Even children would love this. They have some toys and books within grabbing reach. The music is relaxing and not too loud to talk. Very helpful for meetings.There are also some tables and picnic tables outside. Today's too hot for that.Behind the counter is a huge chalkboard wall full of menu items. The food (breakfast , sandwiches, salads, smoothies) always look good walking by. I should try that sometime. If you want to meet up with folks somewhere between Bartlett, Midtown, and Downtown, this is it. You won't be disappointed."

Keke's Breakfast Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.3 (65) • $$

"5 stars for service! Chelsea was very pleasant and brought coffee refills often. Mr. T came by a few times as well, making us feel like he was a family friend, just making sure we were comfortable. I had the chicken and waffles. The waffle was perfectly?waffled? And the chicken was tender and crispy. Highly recommend when in Hendersonville."

Another Broken Egg Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.1 (69) • $$

"What a lovely place for breakfast or brunch! We were warmly welcomed and they seemed super excited that it was our first time there. Our waitstaff, Jessica was cheerful and attentive. The menu has plenty to choose from. My husband ordered the Supreme omelette and said it was delicious. I ordered 2 eggs over medium, which were perfectly cooked, accompanied by crisp bacon and City Grits as my side. The grits were the fluffiest I've ever eaten and the combination of grits, smoked Gouda, bacon, tomato and scallions was absolutely delicious. Coffee was piping hot and delicious. Only downsides were the eggs still had the cooking oil on them, which tasted a lot like the butter put on popcorn in movie theaters. I'd either change to real butter, or blot the eggs before bringing them out. I also asked for crispy bacon - which it was - but it was not very hot. Loved the biscuit beignets we received because it was our first time. We'll definitely be back. PS - If you're bringing an infant or toddler, there are changing tables in the restroom"

Las Fiestas Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.6 (87)

"This place is a great place to go for food. Keep in mind the menu and recipes from this place to taste identical to Cilantro in Five Points so expect some relationship there. In comparison to Cilantro (main frame of reference) the bar doesn't have as many options, and the decor is more dated, which is fine. Las FIestas takes a proven menu and caters to a different audience, and it excels there."

The Dutch Oven

★★★★★ 4.7 (38) • $$

"We ate today at a fantastic restaurant in downtown Clarkdale MS (who woulda thunk). The Dutch Oven has panini's, salads, soups and plenty of other varieties to keep you pleasantly stuffed. The deserts look like State Fair winners, and they are heavenly tasting as well. The owner and wait staff are friendly, efficient and focused on customer satisfaction and cleanliness. Oddly enough, there's a lot to see in a historic Mississippi Delta town. Of course, I was moving slowly since I was stuffed with great food. Be sure to visit if you are near Clarksdale, in Memphis, or anywhere in the Northwest Delta. I promise you, you will be astounded by the quality of food and service!"

The Chatterbox Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (50) • $$

"I just wanted to add another small update. We went to the Chatterbox again tonight. I have always gotten the catfish because it's so good. I kept seeing other people ordering their steaks. They looked so good, I thought I would give one a try. I am glad I did! This was one of the most flavorful steaks I have ever had. I highly recommend getting the Steak or a mix of the Steak with shrimp. You will not be disappointed! I promiseDon't forget to grab a piece of their Homemade Carrot Cake, Hummingbird, Lemon or Chocolate Pie."

Memphis Chess Club

★★★★☆ 4 (47)

"Great staff, great coffee and the chess theme is unique! They talked with me about my options and gave me great suggestions!"

Just Love Coffee Cafe - Melrose

★★★★☆ 4.4 (30)

"The location is very convenient to Melrose, Belmont, 12 south, Berry Hill areas. They open at 0630 which is nice and early. The waffle options are great and the staff are friendly. The only complaint I have is the parking lot is very odd, you walk around to the front but the parking is on either side. I guess it's just how the building was designed.The restrooms are always clean and functional. I feel old fashioned because I am always griping about the cost of everything but it is not the fault of the restaurant but inflation."

Cafe On Main

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (42) • $$

"FANTASTIC FOOD!!!!!!! I'm sorry a fellow Yelper had a bad time here - we LOVED it!!!! Sunday menu is awesome. Had the poppy seed chicken casserole, okra, sweet potato casserole, jalapeño corn bread, cherry cream pie - WHEW!!!! Fat kid paradise!!!!! Can't wait to go back"

Take Me Back Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.8 (23) • $

"Cute like dinner downtown Paris TN. Parking is a little tight, though. I had fried pickles and a patty melt. The patty melt was quite salty for my liking. Pickles were good. Another in my group got a patty melt and thought it was too salty too. My husband got the take three meatloaf luncheon, he thought it was a little tasteless ( but he is hard to please, in all fairness). My sister in law had a chicken sandwich, she said it was fine but very plain. All in all , I would try something else there the next time I go. Service was good, the girl was attentive."

Cafe celebre

★★★★★ 4.7 (13)

"Filling and tasty fare is reasonably priced. The staff is friendly and the service fast. It's a great stop for a road trip."

The Munford Cafe

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (14)

"Authentic small town diner. If you like to go off the beaten path to local joints- navigate to the City Cafe in Munford. They serve breakfast all the time! We had a full breakfast for two with add-ons for under $20!! Friendly service and comfort food has all the flavor of small town Tennessee! Try the blackberry cobbler!!"

Ruby's Cafe

★★★★★ 4.6 (7)

"Five stars because it's what you expect and want in a small town cafe. Great menu selection. Service is fast. They can have your call-in orders ready to pick up in minutes. Their breakfast is the best in town, in my opinion. I really love their Texas style breakfast burrito. My kids love their biscuits. The wraps for lunch are good and so is the pasta. They have lunch specials (meat and 3 and homemade dessert) every weekday. I've never ordered anything here that wasn't good."

Another Broken Egg Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.3 (8)

"Let me start by saying I own a couple of independent breakfast restaurants & don't normally eat at chains. As soon as I entered the restaurant I noticed how new & clean everything was, it turned out it was there very first day being open for business. Our waitress was very sweet, a little nervous, but really cared about getting our orders correct which she did. The host & another manager we're also very friendly. The food was very good, I was thrilled with the GF menu & was able to eat pancakes here which were delicious! If this place keeps it up with the great service & food they will be very successful. Definitely give this place a try!"

Park Cafe

★★★★☆ 4 (4)

"must try the deep fried Philly cheesesteak wrap with seasoned fries . I loved it! Got to have the honey gold sauce with it ."
