Was my first time here and loved it. The creme brûlée latte was very flavorful and decent size. I got the apple and brie panini with bacon and it was soooo good. The bread was crunch and brie was soft. The hash was ok, nothing special. Not pictured but the raspberry goat cheese croissant was amazing. I heated it in my air fryer. Their credit card machine was not working so cash only when we went so hopefully thats fixed soon. Our waitress was good and attentive. Would go back again read more

Great for breakfast or lunch. Good food and baked goods. Great coffee. Friendly staff. The ambiance of the inside is fine. Seating outside on the sidewalk and deck can be a little dirty and trashy feeling and could use more frequent maintenance. Please don't make us sit at a table with trash under the table or old food stuck to the table top. If you park in CE's parking lot and you see all the trash on the ground and weeds growing around the parking lot, you might immediately think that the management at this restaurant doesn't care. And... if they don't care about how the place looks upon this first impression walking into the restaurant, what else do they not care about? Another question... Are waitresses trained to ask the customers "how was your food?" or "is your food okay?". Would that be inviting trouble? In any case that didn't happen when I was there. read more

This is a cute local business. We love a place that is accommodating of all dietary needs, especially places that serves vegans. The service was good and fast. The food was pretty good. Honestly, the chicken and waffles looked super boring but the chicken had probably the best crunch and texture I've ever had. I wish the waffle was a little bit thicker though. It was a bit warm inside and the fans weren't helping much. Even most of the servers walked around with neck fans. Overall a cute spot that's great for brunch/lunch. read more

Café Eclectic - Chicken and Chick'n -N- Waffles - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Great breakfast items. Lots of great coffee options. Great Service, inside or outside.

My party of 3 (2 adults 1 dog) were quickly seated when we walked in on a quiet Tuesday morning. We had excellent and speedy service the whole way through. We got the grits platter, short stack pancakes and turkey sausage links. The food was so tasty, I don't even like grits but the grits platter was so flavorful. The pancakes were light and fluffy. They have sugar free coffee syrups and regular syrup (for pancakes) and decaf coffee options! We loved the 2 patio options and so did our dog. Our server was fantastic, did not get her name but she was lovely. There's a parking lot in the rear and street parking in front and to the side of the building. Will have to stop by again next time we're in the city! read more

Café Eclectic definitely has a vibe. Its reminiscent of European cafes, but with an American twist. I will say that it can get busy outside with traffic during weekdays due to the neighboring school, but it's worth the trouble. I loved their pancakes. I made sure to prep them with plenty of syrup and butter. Also, their biscuit breakfast was super tasty with eggs. Warmed just right and ready to go. Their service was excellent and they know how to whip up a good coffee. read more

Café Eclectic - Biscuits and eggs with potato hash and pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Haven't been here in a few years, but have always liked this place! Love that they offer vegetarian and vegan options for the breakfast burritos/wraps. I honestly prefer the tofu scramble sometimes! The last time I went I sat inside and got some work done on my laptop. Staff was always friendly and I never felt rushed. They also use tasty coffee beans for their lattes and offer a variation of syrup/flavors. I've also ordered food to go and it's been just as delicious from the car! read more

Oh. I so very much wanted to crush on this establishment. It featured many of the highlights I like. Items such as home baked pastries of unusual concept, local retail pottery, vintage style coffee bar, etc. Even the service was vibing. However, the score and love plummeted at the wrap when I was served my espresso drink and cold brew. I looked around to find the "condiment service table" and instead of helping myself immediately, I voiced my intent. The server said, 'she would add the cream (1/2 and 1/2) herself.' (Warning bells), I should have demurred and again insisted on self service. But, she'd been good up to that point. I acquiesced. The server took the cold brew OUT of SIGHT, instead of pouring in front me. When she returned I knew immediately it was not as I'd requested. I questioned whether she'd added cream. She replied yes, that she had. I then put the straw into my drink to verify by taste--that which I knew visually. Hmmm, I repeated my question and clarified, did she add "1/2 and 1/2?" She again repeated--she had. I know what 1/2 and 1/2 looks, tastes, and feels like in a cold brew. This was not that. Maybe, just maybe it was skim milk or the very most, 2%. Nothing more. Additionally, the beverage was watery. I'm horribly disappointed. read more

This place has done great options for vegan breakfast/brunch! Was definitely blown away by the vibes as well as the plant based meat they have there. The apple cider the plant based pancakes the stuffed omelet this place touched my soul that I had to come back within a few days. The workers are very nice and patient here. If you want to try this place out on a weekend you better get there early because it's going to be packed! read more

This is my second time here, yesterday being my first! I came for a morning meeting, enjoyed "The Rachel Wrap" along with their potato hash and they were tasty dishes. This day, I got one of the omelettes, a pancake and a specialty coffee and I'm leaving Happily Satisfied & Full! The service is lovely and the people are kind. I enjoy this environment; it's hippy, it's homey, there's beautiful art everywhere, I can't wait to bring my family here to this restaurant. It's not Starbucks, not Dunkin, it's Café Eclectic. I haven't tried their lunch menu, yet, so I will be back! read more

I've heard good things about this place so I decided to bring a friend. Disclaimer, I'm neither a coffee nor a breakfast person, so please take my review with a grain of salt. My friend and I ordered some pretty random things to try out. I thought the Tiramisu coffee drink sounded sweet. I love Tiramisu. I did not love this drink. I went out on a limb and tried the gia omelette with salmon in it. I was also not a fan of this. My friend's food was fine but not memorable for her. To be honest, nothing really stuck out to make me want to come all the way out here again to try anything else.

We try to stop here for lunch every time we visit Memphis. The menu has a wide variety of items, all of which we find delicious. Today I tried the commander salad, which has fried chicken, grilled corn, and fresh avocado- delicious! The iced coffee and latte were refreshing. The staff are always super friendly. read more

Bottom Line: Confirming on my second breakfast visit that my initial five-star was not a one-off. Food, service, ambience--and server "K", all southern charm--tops. read more

I really dig this spot. They have a lot of different options for breakfast & lunch. I'm not even a coffee drinker but the creme brulee latte was delicious. I ordered waffle and turkey sausage. My waffle was a little underdone, as you can tell by the color. My niece's chicken biscuit was good and she enjoyed it. The grits were surprisingly tasty. Service was good, no complaints there. There was no wait on a Sunday morning and there is plenty of parking. read more

love this place and love the staff but it seems like there's only one person working in the kitchen during the morning breakfast rush.... seems like a management/staffing problem. Took 35 minutes to get Togo food from the kitchen because it looked like only one person was working the entire kitchen. Maybe the owner should hire more staff.... read more

This establishment has 2 outdoor seating areas, a patio and a deck area. We sat on the deck under a tree in the shade which was nice. Our server was attentive and happy, which makes the experience enjoyable! We ordered the sunny tater hash and Rachel's breakfast wrap. The only reason for not 5 stars was that the wrap was missing the bacon that should be included. It needed the bacon for salt and texture. Our coffees were absolutely divine and perfect drinking temperature. read more

We tried to visit this restaurant last year but it was closed the day we were in Memphis so we were excited to try it this year. We made reservations in advance through their site. We were immediately seated when we arrived. We had a great waitress who was super energetic. For coffees, we got a Carmel latte and a mocha latte. They were very small compared to what we expected and they were strong in flavor. The mocha tasted like a really dark chocolate so I didn't love it as much as other mochas I've had. For our meal, we ordered Nutella and banana stuffed French toast, Grits with cheese, lemon blueberry scone, and a Lil Eclectic Biscuit (bacon, egg and cheese). It was a very filling meal. The scone arrived first and it was served warmed. It was amazingly soft and flavorful! The French toast had the perfect amount of Nutella. I dislike when restaurants over stuff with Nutella and it takes over the entire dish. This had a perfect balance of nutty chocolate to the bananas and French toast. The grits had lots of cheese - while I ate the French toast, the cheese melted so when I dug in, I got lots of melted cheese each bite. The Lil Eclectic Biscuit is small, which was a good thing, because we were getting really full. I highly recommend it - perfect size and packed with flavors from the cheesy biscuit to the bacon. All in all this restaurant has an easy, laid back vibe that welcomes you when you walk in. This is easily attributed to the happy staff that works there. Everyone we came into contact with was friendly and smiling. Made our anticipated visit all the better! read more

I always love to stop and get some good coffee from Café Eclectic. The café was quite busy and my waiter was very patient to take my order and fill it. I bought brioche bread pudding for my aunt and a blueberry scone for myself. The blueberry scone was good, but it was a little chewy for me and the lemon icing on top was very sweet. All in all it was pretty good scone but I would probably order a different pastry the next time I go. The cinnamon rolls looked really good. I love the new look of the restaurant. It is decorated nicely. read more

One of the WORST experiences I have had in a long time. Left the burial of one of my dear friends and decided to stop for lunch. We were immediately seated so there weren't terribly crowded but it was a full house. It took FOREVER for a server to come over and take our orders. That should have been our first indication. I will say the server was nice and helpful. I ordered the salmon sandwich with potatoes and husband ordered some waffle sandwich. It took FOREVER to receive our food. After 30-40 minutes, I stopped the server and asked. She said they were short on cooks and they were behind. I can appreciate that as everyone is having trouble with labor. But why not tell your patrons and let them decide if they want to wait. We are now at 1 hour and still no food. After an hour and 15 minutes, we were brought our food (I use that loosely). My sandwich looked horrible. I could immediately see how burned the salmon was. They tried to hide it by turning it over but I could see it. I turned over the salmon and tapped it with the knife. Literally black and brick hard. The server immediately took the plate from me all while apologizing. She took it so quickly I didn't get a photo. My husband was brought a wilted, soggy pitiful waffle sandwich. It was definitely thrown together and poorly made. We had been sitting there so long and weren't hungry my husband wanted to try to eat it. I just ordered a plain bagel and called it a day. The manager did come over and apologize and took the salmon off the tab. I was very disappointed especially after all of that and I ended up with a plain bagel. Needless to say I won't ever be back and don't recommend them. I understand things happen in the kitchen. But what I do NOT accept is when the kitchen knowingly does something wrong and try to hide it. There are probably other patrons that would have accepted the salmon burnt and hard but not me. I would have rather they tried to make a new sandwich than try to disguise a burnt offering with lettuce and tomato. Two thumbs down! read more

We were basically on a coffee tour through Memphis during our latest trip. My family is obsessed with coffee so we tried to try out a lot of different spots. This one was lovely! Another order at the counter place. They do have table service as they serve breakfast also. This place has a lot of different flavors for coffee, including coconut, which is one of our favorites. We had Americas this round and they were made to perfection super super yummy. Not skunky like some coffee shops can make them. Baristas were sweet and friendly. Super clean. Beautifully decorated. Street parking available. read more

Service was impeccable at this beloved café. I remember being there long ago with my husband. This visit I was hanging with a local friend, and this was the perfect place for us to catch up. The restaurant has been updated since the last time I was here, and everything is artful and fun without going overboard. The cinnamon latte was the best, and the sammy was super fresh and just the right size for a light breakfast. read more

This is my favorite Sunday brunch place in Memphis. It has a more peaceful atmosphere than most breakfast spots and it is easier to enjoy conversation. Great to go with family, friends, or boyfriend :) The food is filling but light, very enjoyable. My go to is the chicken biscuit. Their drink menu is so much fun as well. The service was great. read more

Not that impressed. First, it took an hour to get our food. We didn't order anything special, just a couple of their standard breakfast items. It was Sunday at 1:15 p.m. and there was no line to get in. It wasn't like they were jammed-packed. We finally waited long enough and told the waitress we were ready to go. It was then that our food came out. We decided to get it to go as we were already late for the baseball game. I ordered the breakfast hash with an egg. Very disappointed in the "hash" as it was their standard fried potatoes, some cheese, and some bacon crumbles. Not what I was expecting for hash. Won't be back. read more

First time there ..met a friend there who frequent the establishment..Great food ..the funky salmon (yum) Atmosphere..easy relaxing ..service ..everything was great read more

this place used to be my favorite but i do feel like it has gotten not as good over the years just because of how popular its gotten. it's also just hard to enjoy the meal with how many people are always in there now to be honest. the place is so small and they only have two bathrooms they really need to upgrade. you would think they would have being open this long and getting so popular. it also slows the service. plus they only have two bathrooms that are unisex and they are always disgusting now. read more

I've skipped over this place several times to go other local places. Today, Tuesday, I had a break in my work schedule to get something to eat. I placed an order for a single sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit to-go at 9:53am. At this time, the crowd was less than overwhelming. After several minutes of standing and reading the same menu items over and over, at 10:24 I get a lukewarm sandwich with somewhat of a burnt after taste and fairly dry biscuit. I can see a 30 min wait for a complex menu item in a busy restaurant, but this was not the case. Probably just rambling at this point, but a man cant even get a napkin with a jellied sandwich. I had to use my shirt. read more

The service was lousy the waitress was impossible. She got nothing right. The manager had to come to the table to get our order together and even with that the food was just horrible so the red flags was up and we didn't see it. We should've left when the waitress was very rude read more

We placed a 2-go order through the toast website as soon as they opened, because we started driving @4am and still had 7 hours to go. Got to the cafe about 20 minutes later. WE STOOD AT THE FRONT FOR 7 MINUTES before anyone even greeted us!! (4+ workers behind the counter). It took an additional 35 minutes for them to bring us our food and drink (after already ordering 20+ minutes prior). My latte was $7 and tasted like burnt coffee, horrible. My husband's eggs and bacon were COLD. I'll admit though, my vegan pancake was DELICIOUS! We went there for the vegan options and ordered ahead so we could save time. We have 2 kids under 3 and had to wait for so long. I did see 4 other people stand there and wait 5 minutes + to even be spoke to, and even wait over 10 minutes for a drink! Not friendly. Not efficient. read more

I'm a local and go here as one of my spots that I can depend on to get a quality breakfast. I once chatted with one of the owners and I see them in their regularly working (sitting, cleaning, helping, etc). The leadership trickles down and the staff also are just as helpful and do multiple jobs to make the experience for the customer worth coming back to time and again. I chatted with a worker and she has been working there for over 15+ years and still enjoys it. Go try this place out. read more

Best breakfast food ever. Filled up my stomach. Very good service. There was a very chill ambiance

I used to LOVE LOVE this place. A recent visit had me really down about the food and service. I thought I was ordering a semi healthy omelette with chicken. Unfortunately the chicken inside appeared to have been fried. Gross. My friend ordered a sandwich - and I am not exaggerating - it was the size of two crackers. Waited to get seated. Waited on service. Meh. read more

One of my fav brunch spots. Salmon Omelet, grapefruit, and chai tea latte are usually my go to favs.

My mom is in town, and a friend recommended this place, so we came. I likely won't return. The staff was friendly, however we waited almost an hour for our food! It was good food, but not the greatest thing I've ever had. The potatoes are amazing though!! They are seasoned very well and I liked the bell pepper bits. The chai latte is good as well. I don't recommend getting the scrambled eggs as they were highlighter yellow. We were told the kitchen manager left, and that's what made the wait long. Our waitress was very apologetic about the situation and offered a discount! I say come and get a drink, but do NOT get food. You'll be here forever. read more

If you're a vegan looking for some good brunch, this place is not for you. Admittedly, I'm biased. I'm from Los Angeles, where vegan options are delicious and abundant. So I have high expectations. I ordered the pancakes and the tofu scramble. The pancakes were way too thick and much too large. They didn't really hold together like a good pancake either. The tofu scramble was okay. I can make it better at home, which should not be the case. I appreciated the level of spice, but I wouldn't get it again and it needed other flavors (like chili powder, garlic, cumin, etc.). The plate was also lacking. It normally comes with toast, but I left that off since I had pancakes. It's also overpriced for what it is. The cinnamon oat milk latte was great, so I'm glad I ordered that. read more

We stayed at Hilton Garden Inn Downtown Memphis and from previous reviews, couldn't wait to try this local cute cafe! The vibe was light and the staff was super friendly. Unfortunately the grits were too firm for my liking, we had to remind the waitress to bring milk for the coffee and I had to ask them to make my coffee "special" hotter, the biscuits were good but for those reasons I didn't think it was worth the trip especially when there's so many other places to chose from. read more

The food and service was great, nice atmosphere. Sit outside if it is not too hot. Staff is really friendly.

Among Memphis cafes, Eclectic is what Otherlands would like to grow up to be. I've been to Eclectic perhaps fifty times, in all. Funky decor, but (in my experience) wonderfully neat and clean. GOOD food...GREAT coffee...FRIENDLY, PROMPT service. Their staff seem to enjoy their work and their customers, and they stay around a long time, too--one marker of a successful operation. I just plain like being there--especially before or after I teach my class nearby. Manager Adam definitely knows what he's doing! read more
