    Omelette
    Nicole D.

    Found this place online and it looked really cute. I loved the light fixtures and exposed brick. Very cool decor. Came for brunch on Friday around noon. There was no wait to get in. They made us wait until our entire party arrived to be seated. Service was very friendly and prompt. We had the fiesta omelette, meat lovers, and the German town. Everyone enjoyed their food. A little pricey for brunch, $19 for an omelette. There is street parking, it's not too difficult to find a spot.

    We stopped in on a busy Saturday morning and were not disappointed. The food was quick and delicious. We especially loved the breakfast potatoes and how well they were seasoned. I could eat a whole bowl of just potatoes. I am excited to visit again and try something else on their large menu!

    Classic Breakfast & Cinnamon Roll French Toast

    Queens breakfast spot in downtown area. Short weight on a Sunday morning but got seated within 10 to 15 minutes. Service was quick and easy and food was served within a couple minutes. Potions are relatively small but enough. The breakfast potatoes and turkey sausage were flavorful and had a strong rosemary flavor. That was buttery and slightly crispy on the outside and soften the inside. The eggs, over easy, we're slightly undercooked, but I did not have a problem with it. They cinnamon mine French toast was very sweet but expected.

    If you plan on stopping by The Garden Brunch Cafe, make sure you get there early! We went on a Sunday afternoon and this very cutely decorated place had quite the line. That line was a testament to how delicious the food was. We opted to try the salmon cakes and the Bananas Foster Pancakes. Both were delicious. The sausage was homemade and seasoned perfectly. And the grits are arguably some of the best I've ever had with just the right amount of butter and salt. If you are in the downtown Memphis and are looking for breakfast/brunch, definitely consider going here.

    The attention to detail here, wow, impressive. Came in as a solo for Saturday brunch, sat at the bar and the service was awesome. I enjoyed watching the bartenders take the time to ensure every glass was spotless before mixing the drink. Every add in, they donned gloves to add a cherry or garnish. Only open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and worth the wait! I had the blackened tilapia with grits and eggs. Grits were silky smooth, cheesy, and so good. Fish was good, could have been a bit more crusty but still enjoyable. The ginger tea was so tasty and a great nonalcoholic option.

    Right across the street from our hotel Arrive. Really nice people and the food was delicious. Only a 5 minute wait on a Sunday morning at 9:30. Looks like the whole family works there.

    I was so excited to try this restaurant because in their mission statement it says that they never use frozen ingredients or microwaves and they only cook with virgin olive oil and butter! None of that fake yellow oil. I made it there before the crowd and it was a beautiful day for brunch. The decor was lovely. The artwork that hung against the floral walls gave the place a sophisticated feel. I especially enjoyed the music selection and the fresh flower on my table. My waiter was great, I ordered the Salmon Cakes with eggs and potatoes. I also had a fruit tea. The Salmon Cakes and Potatoes were perfectly cooked. The honey mustard sauce that came with it was sweet but good! If I had to change anything I would have preferred a lemon instead of a lime wedge. The potatoes were evenly cooked, no onions or bell peppers just well seasoned and good! The owners put a lot of thought into the decor so I had to check out the bathroom and it was also beautiful and clean! Well done! They have vegan and gluten free options as well as a cocktail menu. This is perfect for anyone needing a break from Chicken and Waffles (not that there's anything wrong with that) Variety is the spice of life!

    Food was delicious. Jennifer the owner sat us and took our order. She was friendly and shared that the menu items are her mother's recipes. Her mother must've been a fabulous cook because everything was absolutely delicious. The space is cute and inviting. Some of the previous reviews complain about service being slow, but thankfully we did not have that issue. They don't accept reservations, so we had about a 25 minute wait on a Sunday. I'd definitely return. They have lots of vegetarian options. This is a great option for a boozy brunch. Tip: finding free street parking could be a challenge. And if you have to wait you can use the time to walk around - the Lorraine Motel is less than a block away, plus other cute shops/bars.

    Simple, elegant, delicious! This is a good spot for a quick lunch or brunch. The cafe is clean and decorated in a simple yet cute way. I loved the fresh flowers everywhere. We were served quickly and the food was hot and fresh! I got the veggie bowl and it was well-seasoned. For a "healthy" option, it was delicious and filling. I would definitely return to try more items on the menu!

    I wanted to come back and update my review because I have been twice since my last review and let me just say, they are consistent! I had the steak and eggs with a side of pancakes. The steak was so tender and juicy. It was cooked to perfection and packed with so much flavor. The eggs were good. You can tell that they use cracked eggs. They were fluffy and season to perfection. The third time I went, I had the Breakfast Bowl. It came with scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, and your choice of turkey bacon or turkey sausage over pan-roasted potatoes. Served with a side of toast. This bowl was so heart and filling. The servers are always kind and so down to earth. They always check on their guest to make sure that they are satisfied and have everything needed during the visit. The ambiance is casual and laid back. It just feel like a traditional homestyle place to get good food! Oh and let me say that the drinks are good as well! I can't wait to go back!

    Fiesta Omelette with potatoes and a side of Cinnabon French toast
    Brit M.

    I didn't originally set out for the restaurant, but discovering this hidden gem was the BEST decision I made. My experience was amazing from the initial interaction with the owner. The inside is set up super cute and there is even outdoor seating. My waitress was super sweet and accommodating! But the highlight is the food!!!!! When I say everything was good. I mean it. I had the fiesta omelette and cinnabon french toast, but ended up ordering salmon cakes also. The banana fosters pancakes are TOP TIER. It was so good we ate it before I could snap a picture. Nice portions sizes and very reasonable prices. Please try them out. You will not be disappointed!

    Stopped by on a Saturday morning, very busy and had to wait 15 minutes for a table. Friendly hostess and the wait was worth the food. Our server was not the most pleasant. I'd want to comeback to try more tasty options.

The atmosphere and decor of this coffee shop are both inviting and antique bringing feelings of the historic times and souls once living in the area. The "team"working here were both professional, kind and friendly. When eating in your entree is hand delivered with a smile in a timely manner. I even got a brief visit from the supervisor/possible owner asking if I needed anything and how everything was going. When I replied with a positive experience he said he will pass on the word to the team. I liked that he gave credit to everyone/team. I will definitely return when in town for business and recommend to my colleagues.

The aesthetic is really well done. It's warm, modern, and just a place you actually want to hang out in for a while. The staff were great and super helpful, especially when it came to working around a few syrups they were out of. They offered substitutions without any fuss, and it honestly worked out for the better. All of their syrups are made in-house, and you can really taste the difference! They're fresh and not overly sweet or artificial. We ordered a Bourbon Mocha and a Carrot Cake Latte (which was absolutely to die for), and decided to keep breakfast on the lighter side with a slice of sourdough and two cinnamon rolls. The cinnamon rolls, though, are not your typical style. Instead of the usual big, fluffy roll, they spiral the dough tightly and bake it that way. The result is this super fun, peel-apart situation where you're unraveling layer after layer. It feels like there are eight layers of cinnamon-sugar goodness to work through! Overall, Hustle & Dough has great coffee, thoughtful house-made syrups, unique pastries, and a really welcoming vibe. Definitely a spot I'd go back to next time I'm in Memphis.

The food however was honestly meh (in my opinion). I got a creole dish and to be fair my dish looked beautiful. The plating was 10/10 but the taste for me left something to be desired. After eating this dish I questioned if I even like creole sauce because it really just wasn't that good. If this is a preference issue, I honestly don't know. I also thought the charcuterie appetizer had a weird mix of items on it from club crackers, to meat and cheese, and random veggies. Not bad but just kind of a weird mix. My husband ordered the salmon and he said it was good, not the best he's had but it was good. Other friends of ours got the white fish among the many other dishes. I did have a salad with these apples on it which was incredibly yummy. I will say though my dish looked amazing some of the other dishes were not plated well. Not to nitpick but to want to be considered a more upscale restaurant which means charging guest more money than say a local Applebee's then knowing how to appropriately garnish or drizzle sauce to elevate at plate is important (see my picture of the chicken dish). All and all not my favorite restaurant but definitely not the worst!!
