We enjoyed our stop at Joanie's, which was highly recommended by a local. But. The food was ok. Nothing that great. Breakfast is so easy; this should have been a home run. My coffee was great, and the food was fine. read more

Went to the St Andrews location for my first time after seeing their posts about being on Americas Best Restaurants. It was also my last Time. The staff was hard working and friendly. However while waiting on food noticed how dirty everything was around us (long term type of dirt not just that they were too busy to clean a tabletop) We wondered if the kitchen was clean so changed our order to go. I posted on their Facebook page praising the good but shared my concern about the cleanliness. They deleted it them blocked me from their page. A good restaurant that cares about their customers would have messaged me about it or posted a rebuttal or explanation. I have never experienced that toe of treatment from a business. They obviously are skewing their reviews. read more

Yummy chicken tacos, good coffee, and cool setup. However, it was very loud for such few people. I think some paintings on the wall could help absorb some sound. It's a great spot to hangout with friends, but not for studying or reading (which my fiancé and I were trying to do). I would advertise this place more as a bar than a coffee shop. read more

Seriously, this is such a gem of a place. We're in town for only a few days (we've never been to Murfreesboro), visiting with our Great Dane Piper. I needed a dog friendly place, and one that had covered seating since it's so hot out. Well, at Red Bicycle, my dog was welcome INSIDE. For that alone it's 5 stars from me BUT, the food was outstanding (I had the Breakfast Burrito and my husband had the "Not Your Mother's Grilled Cheese), their coffee was amazing (I had the cappuccino, he had the Cafe Cubano), the service was fantastic, the place was adorable and I'm just not sure 5 stars is enough! Thank you Red Bicycle. Can't wait to see you again! read more

Went with the hubs to grab an early morning breakfast. Everything was pretty good. We got French toast, cinnamon crepe, and two scrambles. Everything was well made and tasted pretty darn good. The iced coffees were tasty and addictive. Nice place to stop and get a delicious meal. Super friendly staff and very informative. Good way to support your local community. There are tons of breakfast choices to choose from so we will definitely be back. read more

Before I visited the Red Bicycle, I was so anxious to try this awesome place I had heard from my friends in Nashville. I wanted to like this place so bad that I dragged my friends with me here. Upon arrival, the place was kind of small and it felt like I could hear conversations right next to me. Two of us ordered first then two other within 3-4 minutes apart (at the counter). When we sat down at the table, there was juice and residue from the previous people still on the table. I even asked the guy at the front for a towel to clean it myself but he asked the staff to clean. They never came to the table to clean it off. Eventually I caught the table next to ours being cleaned and I asked again for our table to be wiped. After about 40 minutes, I get my plate which was the Funky Monkey. I sit there for a good 8 minutes until my friends received theirs one by one each a few minutes apart. Literally all of our food was served one by one while each of us had to sit there and wait for our food to get cold. They even forgot to put chorizo in one of their menu items and had to redo the whole thing. I never received any silverware either until we prompted them. I attempted to speak to the guy up front about the situation and he was very nonchalant about it. He asked his wait staff to check on the order, they said they're "working on it." He then said that their items are scratch made and each one is individually made so next time let them know that we want all our food at the same time, all while sitting on the stool just casually on his phone. Their lack of customer service is the reason while I'll never ever be back here again. Unfortunately, places like this do not last long in Murfreesboro where we value both quality of food and quality of customer service. As far as the food goes, I ordered a chai tea latte which was lukewarm, lacked the basic chai flavor and also a Funky Monkey crepe which was beautiful but greash. My fiancé ordered the Sunrise crepe. This was all for $30 plus a tip! Why is there an option to tip when you have to basically do everything yourself (pick up dirty plates to the trash). read more

Love this little spot. Good food and coffee. Seating is a little tricky with Covid with a larger group but we were still able to find seat and enjoyed our meal. read more

Sunday morning visit. it was packed. we were a party of six. they had two six tops that both had two people sitting at and weren't even eating. I asked one of the workers if would see if either would mind moving as there were two tops and four tops open. she wouldn't. instead she said we could fit around a four top. thought it was fairly ridiculous, a four top is not big enough. So this forced me to have to go ask. as for the food, the table was split. read more

Terrible. I am mystified by the positive reviews. The menu looked great. I was really happy to see a mix of vegetarian (for me) and meat options (for my boyfriend). I did a lot of research trying to find a good spot on our travel between McMinnville and Nashville for lunch/brunch. This looked perfect. When I got there, I was initially struck by the look of the place. It's in a strip mall type location. Fine. More odd: The doors and windows are mirrored. It's not possible to see the activity from the outside looking in. If not for the group of four seated at one of the two red dining tables on the sidewalk, I would have guessed this wasn't a cafe at all. I looked at the sign above the mirrored doors, and found I got the location right: "Red Bicycle..." followed by: "Order online". I wondered for a moment: is this place a new business model where you only order online for pick-up or delivery? That would explain the uninviting look of the place from outside. We pursued our objective, nonetheless. Someone exited the building, and we entered. The interior was surprising: large and inviting. Open and bright. Plenty of tables. And absolutely freezing cold. The a/c was on strong. We looked over the menu. I initially was going to go for the grilled cheese and fries, but opted for the much healthier : avocado toast on NY Sour Dough with tomatoes, spinach, feta, and a drizzle of balsamic and honey. Sounded delicious! I also got some fancy English Breakfast tea (wrapped in a cloth bag, rather than the more typical tea bags.) Boyfriend ordered coffee and a burrito of some sort. We ordered at the counter, and headed for the one free table outdoors to escape the cold. I grabbed a chair from inside (server was oddly initially hesitant to allow me to do this; there were tens of available chairs indoors), and parked it at the table. The two tables out there were very close together. I apologized to our new neighbors for the intrusion. They were friendly and said: "we're out here because it's so cold in there!" I nodded in agreement. Our food was delivered to us not too long after we sat down. I immediately reacted to the sight in front of me: "this looks terrible!" I regretted being so immediate and vocal with my reaction, for fear that the server heard me, but then again: she should probably know the truth; if she doesn't already from her own experience. The first thing to stand out to me: there was hardly any avocado. Instead of being a healthy serving of beautiful mashed avocado, it was more of a schmear. Very odd. The feta was piled on. The tomatoes were very red, but flat and flavorless. The spinach was chopped finely and didn't taste good. Maybe it was wilted? The bread tasted like plain old super market processed bread; perhaps a bit thicker than a standard slice. I found the whole thing inedible. I struggled with a few bites, then abandoned it. My boyfriend's repeated reaction to his coffee was uncharacteristic for this omni-vore, who eats anything and everything with glee: "ugh." With each sip: "iew". For him the coffee was the worst part, the burrito was just bland. In the end, I regretted not going for the grilled cheese and fries. That probably would have been fine. Best guess is that it would have been cheap diner-like quality, but that would have worked for me. This all makes me very curious about the quality of the reviews on this site. So many users have had the opposite experience than I had. I don't believe my experience was due to an off-day. I think this place markets itself as a quality cafe with fresh ingredients, but in fact likely functions more like a franchise. Our food came out so fast, there was no way it was made to order. Such a bummer. All around. read more

Stopped in for the first time for lunch with friends and we enjoyed it! Bright, clean interior with friendly staff. AND the food was delicious. I had a hot chicken crepe that was wonderful! Perfect blend of light crepe and the savory, slightly spicy chicken! The peach tea was yummy too. Look forward to having another location in Mboro on the town square too! I will be back! read more

If you like ordering at the counter, picking up your water, silverware, condiments, etc, clearing your table like at a fast food restaurant, plus having an automatic 15% tip added to your tab despite self-service, this is your kind of place. Not ours. Two sandwiches with fries were over $30.00 plus tip. read more

Red Bicycle is my go to coffee/breakfast place. The coffee is amazing and I love that they have almond and oat milk. The food is SO good! I'm gluten free and they have many options including gluten free crepes (get the chicken bacon ranch crepe and thank me later). The people are super nice and the vibe is really fun which is a huge plus. Highly recommend! read more

I only leave good reviews. This one is in the middle. There's room for growth. Food was good, coffee was great. The place itself seams a bit dirty, which was a little unappetizing but probably wouldn't bother most. Not so bad that I wouldn't be back but I do hope for better. There other outlets that I will be posting to to ensure that my voice is heard. (Reputation proceeds you) But you heard it here first Good luck on your growth as a company! Im sure things will get better and better. Till next time. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. Best place in Murfreesboro for coffee AND food. The staff and owner are the highlight of my morning EVERY morning!!! Coffee is consistent. Just as delicious as the first time every single time. Cannot recommend this place more! read more

Joanie's Murfreesboro - Iced Cuban - New American Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

The reviews convinced me to try something new and the location is great . The staff are top notch . That being said : I got the breakfast tacos and thought I was getting chicken( it was some kind of weird looking , sausage tasting meat ) -and scant amount of meat in it for how expensive it is . It was warm-not hot -and mostly eggs. My daughter got the egg / bacon/ cheese bagel . She liked it . I got iced almond joy coffee . It was touted to be 14 ounces . Mine was 75% ice ( yes I know ) iced coffee ( ice is expected ) My daughter also got the 14 ounce honey lavender . She liked it . Just four items - but breakfast was over 30$! ( plus tip - I always tip well - not their fault the prices are too high for what you actually get ) It's just not alot of food / items or value for that amount . I'll still give it another shot . Maybe try dinner . read more

This place is great. The food and special coffees are great!! Love this place and so glad they opened one off St Andrews!

People are very nice here. Explained the coffee's to me. Chose Macaroon Coffee. Really rich flavor. Atmosphere is nice and not loud at all. I was passing through and a friend told me about this place. I will be back. read more

Joanie's Murfreesboro - Macaroon Coffee. - New American Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

So far we've loved almost everything we've ordered here. It's nice to have a restaurant that serves breakfast all day so we don't have to rush out on a lazy Saturday if we want some French toast! Good variety on the menu and portion sizes have been pretty equal to the price. The seasonal drinks are also pretty tasty so I'll be sad to see them go. Only negative I'll add at the bottom is the sausage in the breakfast burrito and chicken in the tacos from our most recent visit this week. We ended up just throwing them away because they seemed questionable on being real meat. I'm hoping it's just a supply chain issue but for now we'll stick to non-meat items here to play it safe. 4 out of 5 times we've enjoyed our food. read more

I was told by a good friend that it looked like a place to try. So I took my son with me to scope out the place. The decor was very interesting, a red bicycle on the wall and a old fashioned swing hanging from the ceiling. I ordered French toast, surely you can't mess that up. It took a while for them to get the meal out, it is a small business. I told them u was hearing impaired and they said they understood. Unfortunately, the French toast was burned, I tried to eat around the burned part. The hot chocolate was very good. read more

Having been to both Nashville locations my wife and I are thrilled that they've opened up a cafe right down the street from our house. The menu is amazing with several seasonal specials (my wife got the Peppermint Hot Chocolate aka "Christmas in a Cup" to go with our breakfast). The service is also above and beyond your normal chain coffee stop...My wife and I were running late for a doctors appointment and the staff put a rush on our order (they were having a very busy morning) packed up our food for us and had us on our way quickly. Can't give this place and their staff enough praise today, we will be back continuously. So glad to have you all in the Boro. read more

Since changing names the menu has been enhanced and so so good. The menu was great before as Red Bicycle but Joanies is much improved. I love the method of ordering st the counter. Simple and efficient and always nice staff. Comfortable seating and it's so nice to be able to enjoy brunch and chat with a friend for awhile. The manmosa is a favorite of mine paired with avocado toast! read more

I had really high hopes for the new Red Bicycle as I love the one in Nashville. But it was just okay. I would go again if I lived in a nearby neighborhood, but it wasn't worth driving 25 minutes to me. Coffee was absolutely delicious. The WiFi didn't work, it took about 30 minutes to get food and it wasn't really busy. The cheddar potato bites were cold and my wake-up crepe was better after hot sauce and more seasoning. The Veg-Out Scramble was delicious!!! Added a little salsa and sour cream to it. It's still new and I will be back to give it another go. read more

Love this place! This is exactly the kind of place Murfreesboro needs more of in my opinion. The Red Bicycle is a great place to go solo for a cup of coffee and WiFi access or a nice option to take a lunch date or your family for breakfast. As someone who avoids gluten I was so surprised and happy to discover that all their crepes can be made gluten free and they are delicious! They have a little bit of everything on their menu from hot chicken to cinnamon rolls. They also have a nice selection of kid friendly options. Super friendly service! read more

You have to serve yourself which I hated!!! Food was gross and not hot . You have to go to the counter and order. Clean after yourself when you leave. Felt like I was at a fast food place. Water station was awful no ice you have to go to the counter and ask for cups of ice. Coffee was gross also. Save your money go somewhere else. read more

The atmosphere is fresh and bright. The coffee menu is extensive and so many of the drinks sound wonderful! Unfortunately, they don't taste as good as they sound. I ordered the ButterBear latte. It needed way more caramel and I couldn't even taste the white chocolate. Its an ok latte, but it wasn't worth the price. The spicy chorizo egg scramble was very short on spice and chorizo. It needed seasoning, like some onion powder or just salt and pepper. I thought there was too much hash browns, but my son liked it. I might go back and give them another try, but there are so many other restaurants in the area, that it'll be awhile before I get around to it. read more

A much needed respite on a road trip with three kiddos. Tasty salads, crepes & coffee

Great place and good food! We love the atmosphere and neighborhood environment. Service is always good too.

They will send you a text and email when your food is ready. Once you arrive to get your food, be prepared to wait another 10-15 minutes for your coffee. My food got cold waiting on my drinks. Keep in mind these were iced coffees. Even if they were hot coffees I had ordered, I can alway microwave them. Microwaved food is nasty!!!! Apparently the owner didn't appreciate my $50 order yesterday. I'll make sure to spend my money elsewhere!!!! read more

The food was ok. Service wasn't bad. Not really sure why they got a tip, because they never came back to our table after we got the food. The breakfast tacos was great according to my son. The Burris was ok, but too much egg and not enough meat. We might go back, but not soon. read more

Food was good, but maybe don't Doordash/Uber-eats it. I got mine via Uber-eats for lunch and what I got out of my order was good. I ordered a hot chicken salad + avocados, fruit cup, and an iced coffee. They forgot my avocado and someone completely scribbled out the coffee on my receipt, and I never got it... No worries, Uber-eats is refunding the missing parts, but I'm not sure if the store doesn't do deliveries on coffee?? Food was decent, liked the spinach base, lots of pickles and chicken if you're into it. I'm sure the coffee would have been good if I had gotten it haha Probably won't get it delivered again, but might do pickup in the future. read more
