We stopped in at Café 212 while we were driving the Natchez Trace Parkway. Our sandwich order was quickly ready and the tea was out for you to serve yourself. Everything was tasty and the atmosphere was very relaxed. We especially liked it that on the pretty day we were there the whole front of the café was opened up... More

I am from out of town, but my girlfriend is a native of Tupelo. She frequently mentioned Cafe 212 and I saw the positive reviews on T.A. so I wanted to try it. We both ordered the Honey Apple Walnut Chicken Salad. They were very busy since it was noon. I enjoyed how we could go recline on the couches... More

Cafe 212 takes me back to the time I wanted to be a cool hippie soul. This place could have been California 1960. Local owners working in their almost Pullman-kitchen, turning out simple, tasty fare and loving what they are doing. The atmosphere is casual and relaxing and a great place to meet a few friends for conversation. The customers... More

Great sandwiches, soups, and coffee (iced latte is a must!) Excellent staff. A nice break from the numerous chain restaurants offered in the area. A charming atmosphere with exposed brick and lovely patio in warm weather. A great lunch place or coffee/ bagel spot in the morning.

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
