I have been going here a LOT for lunch and I don't think I can stop. The food is delicious and the prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food they serve. It's always consistent and the service is fast and professional. The environment is relaxed and sophisticated and I like that the staff is focused and efficient. In response to a previous post stating that the staff isn't friendly, I'd like to note that this isn't a diner, so don't expect to have Alice coming out and asking you how you like your grits.
Went in early for breakfast and had a Great experience. Everything is made fresh in house
All was good, but make sure you don't pass up the in house smoked bacon.
The flat white was so good espresso wasn’t burnt and the ginger latte was spot on. The frittata was fluffy and not dry. The Brie and fig croissant was just the right balance of flavor. Friendly space in an old building. Definitely pass up the chain coffee shop a few doors up and go here!
I felt like I had found a rare gem when I stumbled upon Cafe Keough. I had been in Memphis for a few weeks on business and I had tried several restaurants during my stay but Cafe Keough was the only one that undoubtedly deserved my 5 star review. The atmosphere was calm and quaint. The food was absolutely delicious! I’m in love with their spinach quiche. It’s flaky, buttery and packed full of flavor. Their coffee is some of the best I’ve ever had. It’s not super bitter like some others. Every sip was pure perfection! If you’re ever in Memphis do yourself a favor and pay them a visit!
Quaint place. Makes you feel like you’re in Paris or some other place in France.
Great location since it is in downtown Memphis and no cars go in front of it, only the trolleys.
Offering things like bagels & lox, ham & cheese croissants, salads, sandwiches and pastries, you will find something to your liking.
We had the ham & cheese croissant and the Belgian waffles. Both came with a small side of fruits. Portions are on the European side. Meaning you will be satisfied but not overstuffed.
Bonus: sit outside so you can people watch and enjoy a nice breeze.
Waffles were delightfully light and tasty, served with pineapple and watermelon. Frittata equally as delicious. A commonality that seems to be the norm in the south is to order and sit down which was fine. Lovely old building with huge windows and exquisite ornate details. Lovely place!
Very much a French style ambiance and the service is beautiful! The food was fresh and delicious! The coffees were expertly made and the best I've had in a long time! Definitely will return when we come back to Memphis!
Great place for an off the beaten path lunch. I had the smoked salmon salad this time and it was really good. The service was fast and friendly as well.
Cappuccino was mostly steamed milk. I’m not sure what they pull espresso from but it wasn’t freshly ground beans…some sort of pod or something. Food was good but I’d search for something like law next time.
Stopped by in the morning for coffee and was so impressed, we went back for an early dinner! I had smoked turkey sandwich with cranberry. It was on delicious bread. The side salad was great! Cranberries and candied pecans. Soooo good! The atmosphere and historic building is inviting and comfortable. An excellent stop that I will revisit anytime I'm in Memphis.
When I visit Memphis, I try to find the time to stop by Cafe Keough. Lovely old building and great coffee and food.
Very good coffee. Breakfast was great. I had the panini. The sausage gravy on the side is very rich but excellent.
The eclairs are perfect and the croissants were nice and flaky.
Coffee service was a little slow but employees were nice and it has a cool atmosphere.
