In a quaint little house beyond a white picket fence is a mom-and-pop operation known for wonderfully healthy breakfast omelets, homemade breads and tasty sandwiches. Named after Brother Juniper, aka St. Francis of Assisi's cook, this charming cafe follows the credo of cooking meals from whatever is at hand. The dining room is very small and often cramped, but it is cozy nonetheless. The service is always friendly, though often slow due to large crowds, especially on Saturdays. Lunch items are available during weekdays: mainly soups, salads, sandwiches, great gyros and some vegetarian items. There is a specialty coffee of the day to go with the wide selection of scrumptious pastries. The clientele is composed mainly of students and teachers from the University of Memphis, but midtowners with kids also frequent the inn. A big fish tank and religious paraphernalia decorate the dining room, and bluegrass music sets a relaxed mood. -- Nancy Apple
