Parking here is a little rough but we made it work. I ordered a Matcha and it was tasty. Everyone was nice and accommodating. They provide cool vibes to grab and go or stay a while. I took so many pictures, but of course technology is holding me back. Hopefully, my phone will cooperate and I will have an adventure to share.

We sat outside, which had a few tables. Our food came out quickly and was hot. We were very surprised with how good the food was. The grit cake was fried with batter and well seasoned, the biscuit was the perfect texture and chew, the bacon was good, and that pickle was surprising - sweet and a great addition to the biscuit sandwich. My friend loved her meal as well. The serving size was large. I could barely finish the sandwich. **I would definitely come back to try other sandwiches.

The biscuit although fell apart, it was buttery and delicious the chicken had a tasty spicy seasoning that paired well with the pickle and honey. I was expecting hashbrowns, but I got small potatoes instead they were delicious, but my mouth was set for smash hashbrowns. Overall if I'm ever in the area, I would certainly do it again.

Driving from Oklahoma City to Maryland sounds absolutely insane (because it kind of is), so when we…read morefound ourselves passing through Memphis around lunchtime, I turned to my trusted Yelp experts to help us find a local gem. Sunrise Memphis did not disappoint. We stopped in around 12:30 p.m. on a Wednesday and didn't experience any crowds or much of a lunch rush. That being said, after eating here, I completely understand why people mention waiting hours on weekends. The ordering process is simple: walk up to the counter, place your order, grab a number, and seat yourself. I appreciated that they offer both breakfast and lunch all day because it meant we didn't have to choose between the two. I ordered the chicken tenders with tater tots and an Arnold Palmer. Everything was fresh, hot, and exactly the kind of comfort food you crave in the middle of a long road trip. Kyler ordered the Kitchen Sink, which came with eggs, bacon, hash browns, grits, and a biscuit. He asked if he could swap the cheesy grits and biscuit for biscuits and gravy, and they ended up bringing him everything anyway! It was a massive meal, but absolutely delicious. Beyond the food, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I also loved the fun, eclectic atmosphere. The colorful Memphis touches throughout the restaurant gave it so much personality, and there was even a bar area that made me think this would be an absolute blast for brunch with friends. Sunrise Memphis ended up being one of our favorite surprises of the entire drive. If you're passing through town, do yourself a favor and stop here.

A step inside at the same time the counter guy hollered back to let the cooks know a graduation was about to begin so "expect to be busy soon" confirmed that fact! You order at the counter and are given a number for your table and your food is delivered with a smile and some casual southern hospitality banter. This place is quirky with its decor but on point with the food. Get the bacon! Always get the bacon! I'm still dreaming about it! Be warned! We were told during busy times, the line stretches around the building for a steady 8hrs at a time! May the timing of your visit ever be in your favor!

The iced oatmeal cookie is tasty, while the snickerdoodle is just okay. Expect softer cookies, not chewy ones. Their products are made with care and nicely displayed.

I was sitting at the coffee bar and he asked me if I've ever had Turkish coffee before and I said no, so he gave me a cup to try and it was the most delicious coffee I've ever had. I have tried Turkish coffees in other places since then and the one I had at Qahwa is still hands down the best coffee I've ever had. Overall, great location, great coffee and the owner being a very nice person is also a huge plus because you always feel welcomed in. On top of that, there's a really cool bank vault inside the coffee bar which is awesome for getting cool pics!

I guess when people can't pronounce words and say them wrong, it eventually sticks!
