| Brother Juniper’s is the place to be on lazy weekend mornings, so expect a long wait for a table at this modest university-area breakfast joint. Thankfully, Brother Juniper’s has added a gourmet coffee bar in the lobby so patrons may sip lattes during their half-hour to 45-minute wait. Fluffy omelets, like the San Diegan (an open-face omelet piled high with home fries, sour cream, mushrooms, bacon, feta and cheddar cheese) are worth the wait. Also on the menu are sandwiches, quesadillas, and even scrambled tofu platters. Be sure to ask for the shop’s locally famous spreadable fruit to accompany the whole-wheat toast. Brother Juniper's was originally launched in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district in the 1960s as an outreach mission for street people, but soon expanded its five-cent-per-cup coffee operation across the country. Today, the Memphis shop, purchased by Jonathan and Pauline Koplin in 1999, is the only Brother Juniper's still in business. |
