The Cottage - Memphis

The Cottage is a Memphis gem-need lunch? They serve it. Need a caffeine pick me up? They got it. Need a gift for a friend? They have options. Need a new outfit? You can find that too.

Adorable little gift shop that also has a full on cafe! Love the idea! Mainly went in for food and coffee. Bummed they didn't have drip coffee but I got a cappuccino and chicken club and husband got an americano and a sandwich. Both sandwiches were pretty good and the so was the coffee. Would've given 4 stars but the lady working the counter was so sweet, I had to give 5!

Sweet little gem of a place. If you live nearby you already know it's a great place to eat. If you're traveling through and want something other than fast food fare, stop here! The food was very fresh, excellent quality, and well prepared. I got the Cottage Classic sandwich and was most impressed with the wonderful bread. Tasted homemade like my grandma's. My husband got the Reuben sandwich and loved it. There is attention to detail in the food. The proprietors are friendly and make you feel at home. We both enjoyed the shabby chic ambiance. The boutique is also nice with interesting candles, bath salts, clothing, etc. Very well done all around!

Looking for coffee mid afternoon on our drive across TX and found this delight! The Americano was great but we ended up being enticed by several other items. The Roast beef sandwich, served on jalapeño bread (they were out of their usual croissants) was juicy with nice onions. My husband inhaled it. I thoroughly loved the potato and kale soup which had hunks of Italian sausage in it. Hubby snagged a fat cinnamon roll for later and I bought a jar of candied jalapeño slices at the recommendation of the very attentive counter staff. They are amazing.... Worth the drive to Memphis!

The service is fantastic! Judy was the sweetest! So was everyone else working there. We had the roast beef and grilled chicken sandwiches, both were great! We ordered a cup of the soup and she brought out two so we could both try it which was so nice of her! We had the peach tea that everyone raved about and loved it! She offered one to go as well which again just shows how thoughtful and sweet this place and Judy are! If you are in the area, definitely stop in and support this bistro/cafe and store!
