I've been coming here for years and it consistently has been exceptional. The soup! Get the soup, any flavor-I've never had a bad one!

Here from out of town, was looking for a place near my hotel for a good sandwich. Had the turkey on honey wheat berry bread- so delicious, lots of fresh crispy vegetables. I'd never had shredded carrots on a sandwich, but they were delicious and added color and texture. Will be back before I go home!

I got the shrimp salad sandwich on sourdough with all the veggie toppings. I was surprised by how little shrimp salad there was. It was mainly all toppings which thankfully seemed fresh (besides the tomatoes). The flavor was good but would be better if there was more of it to enjoy. It was slightly salty but that helped add flavor to all of the veggies. I wouldn't go out of my way to get this again, but it was a quick and healthy-ish lunch to grab. I called in my order and was able to easily get it upon arrival. I can't say much about the service or ambiance since I was in and out, but it was definitely crowded! I feel like for what I got, it was a bit of a high price tag.

One of the best longtime local delis in the city. They have a unique touch to their menu items like the sandwiches come with sprouts and shredded carrots. The curry Walnut chicken salad is my favorite but they have many great options. The potato salad is another top pick. I wish they also had the original version with chives (just in case the owner is reading) but the coarse grain mustard and bacon version is great too. Their strawberry soft serve is a crowd favorite. A small cup is like a light palate cleanser at the end of lunch. They also use it in shakes and smoothies. There are usually two soup options every day. I love to stop for lunch when the weather is good and soak it up on their patio.
A real hidden gem ? Food was excellent... Very glad I came across this lunch place ?

I absolutely loved the atmosphere of this place! I felt as if I walked right into a cafe you would read about in a book. Also, the food was absolutely delicious. I think I found my new favorite lunch go-to!

A welcomed find while waiting for a doctor's appointment. Very friendly staff, clean space, delicious soup, fresh food. I'll be back:)
A family-owned lunch place in the East Memphis area is a rare find, and this is a very nice and efficiently run one at that.I opted for the pimento cheese sandwich on marbled rye bread, with all of the default toppings. These included lettuce, tomato, cucumber, shredded carrots and alfalfa sprouts - which all tasted fresh and paired well with the rye and pimento.My only criticism? The layer of pimento cheese was skimpy - especially compared to the heaping of other toppings layered into the 'wich. Had there been double the cheese it would've been perfectly balanced. Next time I'll request extra.Also of note, a bag of chips is included for the price of the sandwich - which was a modest $7.29. Beverages are extra. A great value for the area - and will definitely be returning.

This hidden cafe tucked into the strip mall is well worth finding. A local favorite, Paradise Cafe has withstood the test of time. Frequented by businessmen and ladies who lunch, try their chicken salad and soups. Pro tip: try their house smoothie!

Their gazpacho is absolutely delicious ‼️

Cute lunch spot. Seating indoors, outdoors and a small loft upstairs. Order at the end of the corner - pay at the other end. The food is quick and good and very reasonable priced. Don't skip desert and chat with the guy running the show. He's a Raiders fan but other than that 5 stars. :)
