Read MoreThe Front Porch Memphis was built with one simple goal: to create a space where everyone feels welcomed. Whether you’re here to host a meeting or event, grab coffee with a friend, or simply take a quiet moment to recharge, this is your place. We believe in the power of connection—in conversations that spark ideas, relationships that deepen over time, and spaces that invite both productivity and rest.
At the heart of it all is Second Helpings Café, where you can enjoy breakfast, lunch, or a cup of coffee with a friend or business associate. From casual gatherings to professional events, The Front Porch is where Memphis comes to work, rest, and gather for good.
We’re proudly located in the heart of East Memphis, right on Walnut Grove near Perkins—a welcoming spot where the city naturally comes together.

- 7,777 square foot glass building
- Long and inviting veranda with rocking chairs for outdoor conversations
- Second Helpings Café – open Tuesday – Saturday to the public
- Event Space and Meeting Room available for booking
- Private Office Space
- Free Monthly Events including outdoor concerts, speakers, family events and more
