Sunrise Memphis
670 Jefferson Ave, Memphis, TN
Crema's Take
“This Memphis institution has perfected the art of the neighborhood breakfast destination, where rainy Saturday mornings and family birthday brunches feel equally at home in a bustling, welcoming space. Their made-from-scratch approach—house-made strawberry preserves, fluffy buttermilk biscuits, and pancakes that inspire repeat visits—elevates simple breakfast fare into something genuinely craveable, all delivered with the kind of efficient warmth that gets folks lining up again the following weekend. Whether you're grabbing coffee on your way through town or settling in for a leisurely brunch celebration, Sunrise feels like the kind of place that knows exactly what it does well and does it better than anyone else around.”

We hit up Sunrise while in Memphis for a short stay. We showed up on a rainy Saturday morning around 7:15, there was a very short line and we were able to order within 3 minutes of walking in the door. With that being said, you order at a counter here, not at your table. We ordered a “King Biscuit” bowl and a “The Best” omelette. Both came out quickly and were great. The coffee is self serve and endless, plus there is indoors and outdoors seating. Overall a great experience, though, I would not wait in a forever line to eat here. There are plenty of other places in town.
Absolutely amazing!! The food was possibly the best breakfast I’ve had in Memphis. It was our first time here but we will definitely be back and recommend it for anyone looking for an amazing meal in an awesome atmosphere. The owner and staff were on it. The smoothest ran establishment I have been to in a long time. Thanks for making it great Sunrise staff!!!
That's a huge Veggie Omelet, Buttermilk biscuit, house made strawberry preserves, Queens Oatmeal and a Large cup of coffee. Bennett had "The Kitchen Sink". Josh had Chorizo bowl Everything was absolutely amazing. Best breakfast I had in ...forever! Nicki and the crew were amazing and kind enough to make us breakfast during the January 24 snow storm even though they were trying to close early. Thank you everyone 💓 Absolutely the best breakfast in forever anywhere.
We found this gem recently and we've been back every weekend for the pass 3 weekends and today's her birthday so we're going back today for brunch in about an hour... Pancakes are some of the best in the city, they have turkey sausage, and they HAVE GFO options for my baby... she's smitten with the amigos tacos... the eggs are great... and they have a mimosa flight that we love!! Great experience especially since my baby had celiac...we LOVE IT HERE!
Stopped here with the family on the way back home for brunch. I did not personally eat, but my wife and son loved it. They both said the food was delicious. The place was super busy, but the staff was very friendly and well organized. The owner was on the floor managing the crowd line like a pro. We'll definitely be back when back in the area.
