Hey, Murfreesboro!

We recently came across this locally owned franchise, Brunch and Brew Cafe , and let us tell you, they have some great breakfast. One thing we noted during our visit was they had a wide variety of options.

We went for a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on sourdough and some donuts.

📚 Don’t let the name fool you— The Grumpy Bookpeddler is full of heart, history, and secondhand treasures.

This family-owned used bookstore has been serving Murfreesboro for 14 years and is now in its second generation of ownership. Megan has taken the reins from her dad (the original “grumpy” bookseller 😉) and continues the mission of keeping used books alive and well in the community.

With over 50,000 books, most of which come directly from customers in exchange for store credit or cash, there’s truly something for every kind of reader.

But books aren’t the only thing you’ll find here…

🖼️ You’ll also discover unique book art created by Book Bends artist Minda Campbell—think folded pages turned into stunning wall art.

🧋And don’t miss the custom drinkware made by Megan herself—beautifully crafted and full of personality, just like the shop.

If you love the smell of old pages, local art, and supporting small businesses that truly care about their community, swing by and check it out!

🌭💥 Tucked inside CoreLife Eatery in Murfreesboro is a little stand serving up big-time comfort food—meet Hi-Five Hot Dogs & Stuff !

We stopped in and tried the All American and Big Apple dogs (and yep, they were just as good as they sound). These aren’t your average hot dogs either—Hi-Five takes things up a notch with options like the Windy City, Southern Girl, Chili Cheese Comet, and even grilled cheese melts stacked with creative toppings. Add MoonPies, banana pudding, and RC Cola to the mix, and you’ve got the ultimate Southern throwback meal.

🍴 Don’t be fooled by the walk-up stand—your food comes straight from the CoreLife kitchen, and it’s made fresh. The vibe is fun, the options are nostalgic, and the prices are hard to beat.

📍Find Hi-Five inside CoreLife Eatery on Medical Center Parkway and grab a dog, a grilled cheese, or a combo… and give your day a little upgrade.

We recently made a quick stop at Twin Yolk Breakfast and Lunch Scratch Kitchen and left very full and very happy.

Run by husband-and-wife duo Ron and Anna, Twin Yolk is a breakfast + lunch spot on Church Street serving up scratch-made comfort food with a whole lot of heart. After running a successful café in town for years, they took a leap and opened this new chapter—named for their kiddos!

On the menu during our visit: a Belgian Waffle, a Bacon Burger, and a BLT + Chicken sandwich—all super satisfying, and perfect for a mid-day pick-me-up.

If you're looking for something local, laid-back, and made from scratch, give Twin Yolk a try. They have so many choices for a satisfying meal.

Been yet? What’s your go-to order?

LOCAL team member Faith recently made a trip back to her hometown of Murfreesboro to visit old friends—and naturally had to stop by a longtime local favorite, Slick Pig BBQ.

While there, she had a chance to chat with the owner Mr. Jerry Robinson, one of the original family members behind the restaurant. If you see him when you stop in, be sure to say hello—he’s a big part of what makes the place so special.

Faith admits she got a little too excited to dig in and may have forgotten to take many photos of the food (relatable, right?). But let’s just say the barbecue, banana pudding, and chess pie were absolutely worth it, and now she has the perfect excuse to make another trip. 😉

With its rich history, welcoming atmosphere, and food that locals have loved for three decades now, Slick Pig BBQ continues to be a true Murfreesboro staple.
