Cafe 212 is my favorite place for lunch in Tupelo. Honestly, I would eat lunch here every day if I could. Their white cheddar pimento cheese sandwich on a croissant melts in your mouth. The service is quick and friendly, and the atmosphere is comfortably funky. I highly recommend it.

We stopped at Cafe 212 twice in three days on a trip down Natchez Trace Parkway and back. We greatly enjoyed our time there. The food was excellent, the cafe was comfortable, and the service was friendly. I tried two different sandwiches and both were quite good. My wife stayed with the pimento and cheese both times. The potato salad... More

I would eat here everyday for quick bagel and coffee for breakfast or a delicious sandwich and soup for lunch if I could. Nice as can be owners and staff. They can get busy for lunch, but I never mind waiting - it is always worth it!

We were anxious to try this place after reading the reviews and in light of that were majorly disappointed. It's a neighborhood joint with mediocre food that you can get just about anywhere. There was nothing special in the offerings, preparation or taste. The only thing notable is that it's cheap.

My favorite thing? The blue suede grill it's an Elvis inspired sandwich. Wheat bread bananas honey peanut butter and bacon if you want it, grilled on a panini press... Heaven in your mouth! It's usually a special not always on the menu but ask for it they will make it if they have the ingredients! Such a nice little place... More

Susan, my daughter, and I visit Tupelo every spring to see Elvis' birthplace. And, we always have lunch at CAFE 212. It is fun to be remembered by the owners and the food is great. I love the chicken salad sandwich and the chess pie. We were just there a day ago and plan to be back next March. Mary... More

If you go here, you have to get Mama's casserole. It is only served once or twice a week and it is great. There is a good selection of sandwiches along with several desserts. They also have a coffee bar which is probably the best in Tupelo.

Once or twice a year, my family and I travel to Tupelo to see friends and other relatives. Without fail, this is the very first restaurant we visit and the staff always remembers us and makes us feel at home. The food is WONDERFUL and I dare say my only complaint about Cafe 212 is that there aren't enough of... More
