Jamie’s Eats and Sweets

Jamie's Eats and Sweets has carved out a well-loved niche on W Broad Street in downtown Cookeville. It's the kind of café that does multiple things well - breakfast, lunch, sandwiches, baked goods, and desserts - without losing its identity in the process. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the food has that made-with-care quality that distinguishes an owner-operated café from a production kitchen.

Open Monday through Saturday from 8 AM (9 AM on Saturdays) until 5 PM, Jamie's occupies the daytime hours that a lot of downtown Cookeville restaurants miss. It's where you go for a good breakfast sandwich before a meeting, a lunch worth looking forward to, or a slice of something sweet in the afternoon. The dessert menu earns its own following - the kind of homemade sweets that travel well as gifts.

With a 4.8 rating from 267 reviews, Jamie's has built one of the strongest reputations of any café in Cookeville. It also offers catering, which speaks to how much the community trusts the food.
