Great food, great staff. Free WiFi. Came here twice in two days while in the area. Food tastes lovely, is healthy, and for a good price. Wide selection of ice-cold drinks as well as coffee etc. Nice calming atmosphere.
Wish I had a good photo of my food but it was too good to sit around taking pictures of, the Açaí bowl in picture 4 looked a lot more photogenic when I first got it.

Best place to relax and enjoy their coffees or amazing pizza - I always get the Carlsen. I do not play chess but I love the atmosphere. If you’re lucky a customer may play the piano which is always a treat! People do play chess there and the lower level has a MASSIVE room just for chess competitions. There are also other board games available for fun. We played Connect Four.

I stopped in late this morning after a recommended from a friend who lives less than 100 yards away. I went in for the chocolate chip cookie and came away impressed with much more. They have GREAT coffees, eclectic and expansive space, a broad food menu and what sure looked to me like a full bar! It’s also a chess player’s wet dream. I can’t wait to go back.

Passing through Memphis on the way to Louisville, KY and my husband had to stop by the chess club and it did not disappoint! Exceptional customer service and delicious food and drinks. We had a vanilla and matcha latte with two club sandwiches. Now this was not your usual club it was filled with deliciousness! I got a half and my husband got a full size and half with a side salad filled me up. You don’t want to pass through Memphis and not stop by and support a local spot.

This gem of a place just happened to be a few steps away from the AirBnB where we stayed. I cannot express how glad I am that my son was insistent we pop in there. Everyone was so nice, from the staff to some of the regular customers and chess players who sat down to play a friendly game with us.
Clean and open environment, fun decor, awesome menu!
