    This is the avocado toast and white chocolate hot chocolate.
    Lindsey J.

    This is the most interesting avocado toast I've ever had. I like my avocado toast with alot of feta cheese and I only like salad that has cheese, tomatoes and balsamic vinegar dressing. This avocado toast had everything that I loved. I also got a white chocolate hot chocolate because I don't drink coffee and that was even amazing. The service was great. I love how they have sections for people who are people watchers and or introverts. I love the design of the restaurant. It's a coffee shop and restaurant but has more or coffee shop vibes. I also love a good spacious coffee shop so I can read a book or work on my laptop.

    Joanie's Coffee in Murfreesboro, TN is a cozy coffee and restaurant in an old downtown with modern touches. Joanie's serves high-quality beans, expertly brewed. They great selection of coffee drinks, from classic espressos to creative seasonal specialties. I went for the Cookies and Cream Hot Chocolate instead of coffee and it hit my sweet tooth. Joanie's Coffee stands out as a local gem, offering a great combination of quality coffee, delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere. It's a must-visit for coffee lovers in Murfreesboro!

    Out running errands and stopped in for lunch. Greeted as we arrived. We grabbed a menu and walked to the counter and were greeted again. Ordered and received a table stand to guide the server to our table. As always the food is great. This location is in a historic building on the square. It is interesting to see the marks and shadows of the previous users of the building.

    We've been to Joanie's quite a bit over the years. It's consistently good service and food. The staff are nice and the food comes out in a timely manner. We usually go on Saturday for breakfast before we go to the farmer's market in the square or we will stop in after the farmer's market closes. There are free street parking spaces all around the square. This is a scratch kitchen serving their full menu all day, so you can get a burger for breakfast or a crepe for lunch. They have a wide variety or Gourmet Coffees, Craft Beers, Wine and Mimosas. They also offer French Toast, Scrambles, Tacos, Sandwiches, Wraps, Crepes, 1/2 pound Gourmet Burgers and Entree Salads. You place your order at the front counter and they bring your food to the table. If you order coffee they will call your name to come and pick it up when it's ready. It can get busy, especially on Farmer's Market Saturday at lunch with above average noise level. It's definitely worth checking out for a delicious burger, breakfast or just to get a Gourmet cup of Coffee.

    I've stopped by here a couple times now when I've been at the square, and each time I see something I want to come back for! I can only attest to their coffee at this time, but while waiting for and enjoying my coffee I have noticed a lot of happy people enjoying beautiful plates of food!! I've tried two different lattes from their creative menu and thoroughly enjoyed both -- robust and flavorful (none of that watered-down flavor you get at some places). Service is quick and the staff are friendly, and it's a comfortable, inviting environment -- great for meeting people or for hanging out awhile to do some work! Overall, I enjoy this space and it's definitely a spot worth checking out in Murfreesboro

    Avocado toast
    Andi O.

    Running errands in Murfreesboro and decided to try Joanie's for breakfast. We had fresh brewed coffee, specialty coffee, iced tea and coffee for drinks and Montecristo with fries, Big Dawg Burrito and Avocado Toast. Everything was delicious, hot and fresh. Service was quick and friendly and the restaurant itself is clean, open floor and very relaxing. We will definitely make this a stop whenever we're in Murfreesboro.

    In the charming town of Murfreesboro, TN, there's a place that feels like it's been waiting for you all along. Joanie's isn't just a breakfast and lunch spot--it's the kind of joint locals swear by, and after one visit, you will too. The plates are honest, generous, and made to keep you coming back. No pretense, just good food that does its job: feeds you, comforts you, and reminds you why places like this matter. If you ever find yourself passing through, stop at Joanie's. Refuel, reset, and remember why good food done right always wins.

    Food Tried several different items. Bacon, Java the Nut latte, The Count of Monte Cristo, French Toasted Waffle Pancake, scrambled eggs. Everything tasted incredible! The French Toasted Waffle Pancake was the most interesting thing we tried from the menu. It really felt like multiple breakfast items at the same time. Bacon was crispy, Monte Cristo (the key was adding the preserves to the sandwich). Service When you go in, you can grab a menu then choose where you want to sit. Go up to the counter to order then they'll yell out the name on your table holder. Also, grab your napkins and silverware from this water station. Only issue we had was all the food was hot except the scrambled eggs. Felt as if they were cooked first waiting on everything else. Ambiance Cute, not too many tables, liked the interior setup. Bathrooms were clean. Water station nice feature. Overall, would definitely go back to try some of the lunch/dinner items. Entire menu is available all day.

    Went here for breakfast and it was fabulous. The service was good and quick! You order at the counter and they bring it to your table. Casual. People were reading and enjoying their coffee/tea. Exposed brick walls. Great location on the square. I did have a side of scrambled eggs with the That's my jam! Great place!!

    Joanie's Avacado Toast with Fried Egg, Bacon, Onions, Red Peppers
    Amanda D.

    Wonderful, fresh, real food! Highly recommended! Nice atmosphere as well! Sweet staff!

    Chick-a-dilla!
    Darien C.

    Had Joanie's on my list for breakfast spots in Murfreesboro and happened to be in the area from this location since the Saturday farmers market is right across the street! The restaurant is a good size, has a nice farm decor vibe going on. The place looked clean and well kept from what I could tell. Upon walking in customers can grab a menu from the basket they have placed on a table. You then proceed to the front of the restaurant to place your order. They give you a placard to place on your table so they know where to deliver your food. My husband ordered the Not your mama's grilled cheese which is basically a grilled cheese with bbq chicken inside. I got the chickadilla, a bbq chicken quesadilla. Both of us enjoyed our meals. The quesadilla is definitely big enough to share with others. Service was great! The young gal that brought us our order was friendly and made sure to let us know where to get utensils and condiments. Will definitely be back to try more from their menu!

    Happy Harvest Salad (added chicken; in a wrap)
    Brooke s.

    Joanie's is a nice place to grab coffee, brunch, and even dinner! I appreciate their hours since there aren't many coffee shops in the area that are open past 5, or on Sundays. My favorites from here include the Happy Harvest salad (it is FABULOUS, especially in a wrap w/chicken!) and their side of potato salad! The staff have always been kind and helpful.

    Scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, fried potatoes, French toast and latte.

They did NOT disappoint!! I am officially hooked! From the moment we walked in, I could see and feel the sheer energy coming from the crowd and the ambiance: it already felt like great food and great people. It was packed to the brim for Wine Wednesday! They had one table available for two! Our server, Sarah, was outstanding!! She was sweeter than pie and extremely attentive! She always made sure we had exactly what we wanted when we wanted it. She advised sharing a bottle of wine since we wanted the same one, and since it was half price most wines. The young manager on duty delivered and uncorked the bottle, and she was just as sweet as Sarah! Her name escapes me, but I will find out the next time I go. The Spanish Tempranillo we tried was divine! It was perfectly balanced without being too dry or too tannic or too sweet. It was so smooth and thoroughly enjoyable to drink! For food, we started with the goat cheese bruschetta. It was perfection - rich in flavor and well balanced in the distribution of each component! From there, we tried the special of Steak Tips Au Pauvre - with a peppercorn wine sauce. We chose brussels sprouts as our side, and it also came with a side salad. We weren't too hungry, so we split it. Sarah even had the kitchen split both the salad and the main dish in half for us! The salad was so fresh (with ripe grape tomatoes!!) and the ranch dressing was classic and delightful. The wine sauce was everything I wanted it to be: rich, complex, thick, and buttery. It reminded me of the beautiful sauces you find on a steak or chicken dish at a sidewalk cafe in Paris. The dessert menu looked amazing, but we didn't have any room left. All I can say is you MUST try this place!!! If you can find Sarah, even better!

    Awesome experience!…read more We went and had a great time. The food was delicious, both of us ordered from the specials and loved it.
