Brother Juniper's

Food, Family and Community are the key ingredients to Brother Juniper’s award-winning, nationally acclaimed restaurant. When walking through the doors of the humble house at 3519 Walker Avenue, it is soon apparent that Brother Juniper’s is not just an ordinary breakfast restaurant. A family atmosphere warms the inside with the aroma of freshly baked bread, biscuits and pastries, as well as freshly ground, dark coffees.

The original Brother Juniper was a humble cook for St. Francis of Assisi. Even though the Brothers were poor, Brother Juniper always made delicious and nutritious meals for the Brothers. In the tradition of creative hand-crafted food, prepared from fresh ingredients, Brother Juniper's offers the best breakfast in Memphis.

Brother Juniper’s was born out of a spiritual community in the 1960s. The first coffeehouse opened on Haight Street in San Francisco as an outreach to street people, serving a 5 cent cup of coffee and inexpensive sandwiches. In the years that followed, other restaurants opened across the country, maintaining a tradition of creative, hand-crafted food prepared from fresh ingredients. Moreover, Brother Juniper’s was always known for its homemade bread.
