What People Are Saying About Brother Juniper's College Inn

Citysearch
The Scene – Large crowds congregate behind a white picket fence near the University of Memphis for the town's best breakfast. Russian Orthodox icons bedeck the interior, keeping an eye on students, professors and families moving toward their tables. Good eats and friendly service make it impossible to resist the infectious brotherly vibe radiating from this family-run establishment. – – The Food – The spanakopita omelet swells with fresh spinach, onions, feta and mozarella cheese. Blackberry blintzes, bottomless cups of coffee and freshly baked bread…
Incredible breakfasts!

If you are ready for your day to begin the right way, head over to Brother Juniper's!
I had read all the reviews, seen them on TV food shows but still, when I went with my husband and baby we didn't want to buy into all the hype as to not to be disappointed.
And so we waited outside for 15 minutes until a table cleared in this tiny "house" of a restaurant, we were seated and after looking at the very varied and interesting menu we ordered a Hungry Tiger for hubby and a San Diegan for me....
When they brought our food I thought I had died and gone to heaven only to have Brother Juniper open up the gates..... OH.MY.GAWD. Yes, it was THAT good, yes, capital letters good, silly heaven references good, fluffy bunnies, unicorns and rainbows in your plate good.
I have been back to this place often after this experience and the service and food have been consistent which is a major plus. I wonder if the wait will be that long in winter time, and if I will be able to stand a 15 minute wait in 40 degree weather....I'll start carrying an extra blanket in my car just in case....yes, its THAT good!
- Pros: EVERYTHING
- Cons: The parking is not the best, but overlook it (a prize waits inside if you do!)
BEST BREAKFAST EVER!!!!!!
by jcolemn
This place will take your breakfast to a whole new level! It is hearty and healthy (organic). All of that sounds great BUT the food is not boring or bland by any means! The coffee is fabulous. I buy it for work. It is an organic rainforest blend!
- Pros: Great food, healthy, coffee rocks!
- Cons: the wait and it is small
Yummy breakfast
by bbsister
Great omelettes and tofu scrambles here. Really good coffee - just the right strength. Wait can be horrendous on weekends, so get there early. Also, many tables are packed into a fairly small space, so it's not a good place if you're at all claustrophobic. No pancakes here, which surprised me to find at a breakfast place. The biscuits are yummy and very unlike a traditional biscuit. They're more whole wheaty and freeform than the tall white circle often found in the South. Both types are good, but these are more interesting. You get one with an egg order, and I always wish I had an extra biscuit, but I feel piggy ordering one. The serving sizes of everything (except biscuits) are pretty generous.
- Pros: Good food, fair prices, vegetarian friendly
- Cons: Small space, no panckaes, long waits unless you get there early (because of the small space)
