Cafe 1912 is located at 243 S. Cooper, Memphis, TN, 38104. The building, like many in the area, was built in 1912; hence the name. You can still see the date etched into the facade on the corner building (Cooper/Peabody). Several businesses have occupied this space: a shoe repair shop, Ruby Begonia's Pet Emporium, a photography studio, and a hair salon. We opened the kitchen side of the cafe in September of 2002. Five years later we opened the bar side of the restaurant.
