Breakfast and coffee in Clarksville

Last checked 2026-10-18. Refreshed every three months.

Clarksville’s coffee houses are downtown and near Austin Peay, at Third and Commerce streets and on University Avenue. Sit-down breakfast cafes are on Madison Street and Trenton Road, and the 24-hour diners are spread along Wilma Rudolph Boulevard, Fort Campbell Boulevard and the other main roads.

How we made this list. We started from the OpenStreetMap records for cafes and restaurants inside Clarksville, the same records that feed our local directory, and checked each place against its own website on 2026-10-18. Artisan Bistro, Asulon Collective, Keke’s, Miss Lucille’s and the extra Waffle House restaurants were added from their own sites. Chain coffee counters whose store pages we could not read, and a downtown coffee shop whose website no longer loads, are not in the table. The list is alphabetical; it is not a ranking or a recommendation, and nobody paid to be on it. If your entry is wrong, write to us.

The places

Artisan Bistro on Wilma Rudolph Boulevard bills itself as handcrafted croissants and coffee. The menu has filled croissants, egg and cheese breakfast croissants, mini pancakes and espresso drinks. Its site lists two different sets of hours, so call before a late-morning visit (cafe site).

Asulon Collective Coffee House is a craft coffee house at the corner of Third and Commerce streets downtown, which it calls a conversational cafe meant to foster connection. It holds two temporary parking spaces in its lot for to-go customers; downtown meters and garages are free after 5 p.m., on weekends and on Mondays at meters, its site says (coffee house page).

IHOP on Wilma Rudolph Boulevard is open around the clock, with dine-in, takeout, delivery and online ordering listed on its restaurant page.

Keke’s Breakfast Cafe on Trenton Road serves breakfast, brunch and lunch made to order: pancakes, omelets and sandwiches. Its page lists a waitlist, online ordering for takeout and delivery, and catering (cafe page).

Miss Lucille’s Cafe on Madison Street serves breakfast and lunch every day, with a menu that changes with the seasons. Its coffee shop, at the front of the marketplace it shares with vendor shops, pours Bongo Java and Frothy Monkey coffee. It also caters and hosts private events (cafe site).

Plumb Line Coffee is a locally owned third-wave coffee shop near downtown that roasts its own beans in small batches and sells a roaster’s choice subscription (coffee shop site).
