Lovely atmosphere. The food was quite delicious! They have a pimento cheese sandwich which is delicious! My great niece inhaled the spaghetti. The cafe is adorable. They offer desserts, breads, salads, and entrees in display cases for purchase.

Love this place!! I usually enjoy the special Of the day! I love their egg salad (limited and runs out weekly but delish!) Big fan of their dessert items to take to my kiddos, their quiche, spinach casserole, the Wednesday special and the fruit tea! It’s a regular spot of mine and will Continue to be! Love Emily, the manager as well!

Me and wife were looking for a place to grab a quick bite and lawd knows Clarksville doesn’t have the best selection of local cafes. But we stumbled upon this place and it was a delightful little place. I got the signature grilled cheese and it was good! It would be nicely paired with a tomato soup. Anyways, the atmosphere was joyful. They were playing some sick oldie jams. I will definitely come back.

Honestly this cafe is some sort of godly establishment. Everything is crafted with love perfectly for you. The gingham grilled cheese is my favorite. It’s what’s pictured below. Some of the sides and soups are seasonal but I’ve never been disappointed in a side item. They can get very busy during lunch time by middle aged women who probably don’t work, and are living the life of which I wish.... but call on the way there and they usually have your order ready by time you get there.

Great food. We eat here at least once a week. The salads are amazingly good. They also have heat-and-eat entrees for sale along with cake and cookie bar items. I notice a lot of daughters taking their moms to lunch here!

We were absolutely thrilled with our catering order! We had business event scheduled for 30 people and the staff at Gingham knocked it out of the park! Food was delicious and there was plenty for everyone, with leftovers!! Staff was so friendly and just super flexible. We wanted to support local for our event and we couldn’t be happier!

Food was fresh and delicious, service was quick and friendly, pricing is good for the portions! I got the grilled cheese, tomato soup, the club, and banana pudding and everything was amazing.
