Complicated Pilgrim
21 Cooper St, Memphis, TN
Crema's Take
“This Memphis spot nails the art of a leisurely brunch experience with genuinely creative takes on both coffee and food—their deviled eggs are legendary for a reason, and signature drinks like the Memphis Muse prove they take their specialty beverages seriously. The elegant, photogenic atmosphere and attentive staff (shoutout to Roman) make it a destination for both casual mornings and special celebrations, though be warned that their commitment to quality means service moves at its own pace, so come with time to linger. It's the kind of place where an hour-long wait feels less frustrating when you're sipping a well-made drink in a beautiful room, surrounded by people who clearly care about what they're serving.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast on the menu.
