My friend and I made the drive down to Memphis this morning and arrived around 12. They got the two of us in within 10 minutes and took our order within another 10, and then the food was there in another 10. Super quick for the Sunday rush! The food and coffee was so delicious. I wouldn't say I'm a food snob, but I'm particular about breakfast foods, and this made me very happy. We each ordered a coffee and the bacon potatoes to share. I ordered the Juniper Benedict and my friend ordered the loaded biscuits and gravy. The bacon potatoes were cooked perfectly, soft and slightly crunchy with plenty of cheese and bacon. The eggs in my eggs Benedict were cooked perfectly and they used a regular house-made biscuit that soaked up the egg yolks perfectly. The restaurant was pretty big, but the ambiance felt like a small-town diner. The staff was super kind and attentive, too. The cost is par for the course for a nice diner in a big city. TLDR: Not a bad word to say about this place. read more

A family favorite since we found this fine restaurant four years ago. Service is warm and friendly, and they keep your coffee mug topped off! The food is excellent. We love the omelets, the sausage breakfast sandwiches, the pancakes, and the cinnamon rolls! We also love the small eclectic atmosphere and ambiance- it truly feels like a neighborhood favorite place to gather. read more

Brother Juniper's - Turkey sausage eggs and potatoes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Small, unfancy place. Great breakfast menu, sort of better than average standard. I had a bacon egg & cheese biscuit and loaded breakfast potatoes. All very good. Also had a juniper latte, which was basically a caramel latte with whipped cream and syrup swirl. Very tasty but it could have been hotter. I personally would request an extra shot of espresso next time. My friend ordered a plate of scrambled eggs, bacon. Potatoes, and French toast. All good. She ordered a cinnamon latte which was also very good. Good amount of good, good tasting, reasonable prices. What more can you ask for? I'd recommend this place. read more

Brother Juniper's - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

I have never had anything but an exceptional experience here. I love it all. Great ambiance. Great service. Friendly staff. Exceptional food. I love the decor. I love the theme. I love the mismatched coffee cups. Large menu. Everything is great. They make most things fresh, in house. They have their own maple syrup, hot sauce, bread.... The only drawbacks are that it can be a little cramped and a little loud. I do not like cramped nor loud but it's not enough to keep me away from here. read more

Very good breakfast place located on (right next to???) and he U of M campus. It's no great secret how good the place is so you're most likely gonna have some amount of wait, whether it's waiting for a table to open or just them working through the queue (that was the wordle the other day) of people also heading in for some tasty breakfast. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable and happy to answer questions. The restaurant itself is made up of like 2nor 3 different rooms of tables. The bathrooms are (well the men's room anyway I can't speak to the ladies room) is a weird set up. I can't describe it but it does lend itself to logjams! Oh man bad comparison I didn't mean it like that. Food is excellent. Very very good! I had steak Benedict and grits. Other items ordered at our table were a chorizo burrito, pancakes, and a potato bowl. They have a couple different house branded hot sauces on the table and also their own branded syrup. They have a fun mix of coffee cups, everyone gets a different one. As it's mid December they've got the Christmas ones out. read more

Brunch without all the hassle. Just a 32 minute wait after we arrived and joined the wait list. Great customer service in a busy environment. Nice food portions and fresh hot items. Family friendly and great for groups of 4-6 people. Note: Alot of people ordered the coffee and pancakes. I'm not a coffee drinker but the lattes seemed good. I will definitely grab a pancake next time. read more

Brother Junipers is a well oiled machine. Expect a wait, especially on the weekends, but the service is fast & friendly. The food is cooked to order & always right. This time, I forgot to tell my waitress I wanted cheese grits so I was disappointed when my food arrived and they were plain... to my surprise, even the standard grits are great! (But the cheese grits are phenomenal). Not to mention, my entire meal was right at $20. You can't beat the price, the service, or the food quality here read more

Brother Juniper's - Pancake Special w Cinnamon Roll pancake (+$1) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

We were moving my son to Mud Island to start medical school and this is the place everyone told us we had to go try! It did not disappoint! Very vintage, homey, and welcoming. Everybody very nice, accommodating, and attentive.... All the food was great, the potatoes hit it out of the park! First class ticket to Flavortown! If you are a buttermilk biscuit aficionado, you will be happy... Great smoky bacon that was crispy without ordering it crispy..... Even though we ordered full breakfasts, we wanted to try the pancake. As expected, because it was eight dollars for a single pancake, it was as big as the plate. Again, super flavorful, similar to Cracker Barrel... I love that they are fully cooked too.. see the photo... Overall, a great experience and we will return each time we visit my son ... read more

My husband and I came here after the place we planned to go to wasn't accepting debit cards that morning. Best unexpected detour because this place was so good! It's a bit packed and was very busy when we went, but we were seated right away. Our food came out fast, our lattes finally came out after our food. The latte was okay. Nothing special. The omelette was very cheesy. Good flavor. The cinnamon roll pancake was huge and delicious! Really didn't even need syrup on it. I personally wasn't a fan of the cheese grits. So much cheese in them. We will definitely be back! read more

For me, this was a fine breakfast place, but it wasn't anything special. I had the omelette which was good, not mind-blowing. My husband got the chorizo burrito and was very disappointed that it had about 2 oz of meat and was mostly made of cheese and sour cream. My favorite part of the meal was the crispy and well-seasoned home fries. I also enjoyed the iced latte that I got! The service was good and the ambiance was cozy. If I lived closer, this might be a convenient breakfast spot, but it didn't excite me. read more

Brother Juniper's - Pancake breakfast with cinnamon roll Pancake Special - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Before hitting the road and heading out of Memphis for a day trip, we made our way to Brother Juniper's for breakfast. Located near the University of Memphis, this is definitely a staple breakfast spot. To start, I ordered the juniper latte with oat milk. It was subtly sweet and the perfect amount of caffeine. For my order, I ordered the Florentine, which was an open faced omelette with a side of cheese grits. The omelette was fresh and flavorful and absolutely filling! The cheese grits were creamy and decadent. And the biscuit was buttery, flaky perfection. Both my father and my husband enjoyed their respective dishes - biscuits and gravy and a spicy open faced omelette whose name I now forget. read more

Brother Juniper's is worth visiting at least once if you're in Memphis. It's not fancy, but the food is creative, hearty, and consistent! We went early so there was no wait!! read more

Brother Juniper's is good for breakfast, offering what is now the commonplace mix of healthy (avocado toast) with the less-so. Just on the basis of visiting Memphis for a couple of days, their "best breakfast" slogan seems accurate--to the extent that we ate there two days in a row. Biscuits were amazingly moist and flaky, the best I've had in a while. Just these are worth the stop. There are variety of egg/potato dishes available. I tried the San Diegan all out "open face omelet", but found that there were too many competing elements in the dish. Next time I would opt for one of the simpler potato dishes. Note for those with an aversion or allergy to egg: BJ's offers a range of potato-based dishes with nary a fleck of egg involved. Second time around I went for the Mushroom Portobello Mellow. This was a perfect creation with the exactly right ratio of egg to stuffs, the egg perfectly cooked in omelet fashion, and sides of potato and that aforementioned biscuit holding up their side of the plate. Coffee was hot and relatively strong (relative to the standards of my hometown down at the end of I-55). Service was prompt and friendly, with coffee and water refills coming around regularly. read more

Wowwwww I can't believe I haven't been here sooner. I literally use to live in the area and never heard about this place. But better late then never right. From the reviews people said it is alwayssssss packed and I can agree it was haha but luckily I was by myself and got seated quickly. The place has a lot of charm and the house is so cute. Def full of college kids and families but that's okay. I decided to start with the Juniper Latte which was really tasty. I wish I would've told them almond milk but still good. The whipped cream was so good. The food I must say they did they big one. I got the potato's with chorizo sausage and it was soo good and cheesy. I added sausage gravy with my biscuit and that def hit the spot. Everything was so hot and fresh and everyone was very friendly! I think this is a place where literally everything is good. I will be back to try more items. read more

On this day 3/23/25 we decided to skip church and go check out this highly rated breakfast spot. Unfortunately as awesome as the food was (minus the cheese grits) the service was absolutely horrible. We walked in and had a staring contest with the 3 hostess I finally asked do we seat ourselves they all replied no but said nothing after that mind you it's 47 degrees outside we were then asked if we wanted to sit on their patio (outside) 3 other groups came in behind us that were all greeted with welcoming smiles and instantly taken to the lower dining area to be seated. We informed staff that we too want to dine with everyone else indoors and from that point it just got worse. At this time we were the only African American couple in the room and the stares began, the room got so quiet, along with some eye rolls. Nothing about this experience felt welcoming, it was a great deal of tension from both staff and guests (not all but a great portion) we both felt like we were not supposed to be there. We were going to leave but then our food arrived which we ended up getting to go boxes and ate in the park in our car instead. It's very unfortunate to read more reviews of others having very similar experiences. The food was great but unfortunately due to our initial experience we won't be back to patronize this establishment. Not implying anything only sharing our experience and hoping others have a better experience moving forward. I guess we won't be skipping church anymore ‍ read more

We came here before heading home from Memphis on a family friend's recommendation. This place must be near or in the college area as there is a college bookstore beside it. There isn't a lot of parking but there is a parking lot across the street we utilized since the businesses were not open. We had a 45 minute wait, but the restaurant has a waiting list you can view on your phone so you can see when you are close. We waited in the car until we were 3rd on the list. We were seated on the enclosed porch - which worked out well because inside was packed. Good sign right? We had coffee and: Open face omelettes for my son's, the San Diegan and Florentine - the sons gave them both a thumbs up. 4* The Gravy Benedict, very hardy breakfast; the Hollandaise plus gravy, yeah ... Very rich! I also went with the loaded cheese grits, to put everything over the top!4* We also shared the cinnamon roll pancakes - these were perfect, so delicious and wonderful with coffee - another reason I couldn't finish my main! Portions were plentiful and flavors were poppin'. Overall 4.5* I would definitely come back (This place was crazy packed, so plan accordingly) read more

Come here for the cinnamon roll pancakes!! Better than any actual cinnamon rolls I've had. Everything else was fine but not stellar. The sausage patties were a little overcooked, and my husband was disappointed that the Monte Cristo sandwich was served on plain sandwich bread rather than a sweet, beignet-type bread (again, we have been ruined by Disneyland). I also ordered an orange juice that never came - we ended up canceling our order once we realized it wasn't coming and we were halfway through our meal. The waiter was super apologetic. read more

This is a great spot that stays busy, but showing up early enough guarantees quicker seating. This alone is a testament to their outstanding food. I loved their Greek omelet with gyro meat and feta cheese. I'm a sucker for sharp cheese. I picked it out with home fries and a biscuit. The biscuit was delicious, but the home fries could've been warmer! Overall, the Greek omelet is rich in flavor and it pairs well with a buttered biscuit. Make sure you get a cup of coffee! read more

I ordered the Juniper Benedict with home fries and it was delicious! Service was great and the food came out fast.

Mandatory gratuity of 21%, which is then hidden and lumped in to the total on the bill you get. It's intentionally shady with the idea to make you double-tip over 40% - really shameful, used to respect this place read more

Such a cute breakfast nook in Memphis! I was told this is a go to for a lot of my Memphis friends and this place did not disappoint! From the hostess to server, everything was great! The menu was very extensive, but be prepared this is a bit pricey for breakfast food. I got a Juniper Latte to start off with. Christmas vibes were coming and they put it in this cute mug. I ordered the Hungry Tiger and all the flavors were delicious. I wish there were more potatoes though. read more

I love coming to this place. I just found out that they have a virtual waitlist. Add yourself to the list before you even drive up to the location. Warning, parking is limited so you may have to park across the street. The wait times can be crazy during the weekends and early morning weekdays. Came here early Friday so the place was not busy. I ordered the Lamb and Garden Omelet. It was loaded with gyro, spinach, and feta. I also got the loaded grits (chives, cheese grits, sour cream, and bacon). I had biscuit. Be sure to ask for the apple butter. Everything tasted great. read more

Brother Juniper's - Florentine Omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Recently ate breakfast here. The ambiance is a little crowded and noisy, but not too bad. Chairs are metal, with flat seats, no cushion, but that's OK. Service was quick and accurate. The food is excellent, with some different imaginative takes on the usual. I had a vegetarian open-face omelet with cheese grits and a biscuit. The jelly and whipped butter are better quality than most local breakfast spots. Coffee is excellent and refilled when needed. Final cost is a little pricey for Memphis, but you get good quality, and I was full! I can see where parking could be a problem at weekend brunch (I went weekday). Call ahead if you have more than four diners. Overall, enjoyable meal! read more
