Right Off The Square In Jonesborough, Tennessee’s Oldest Town Serves Breakfast At The Main Street Cafe

Some towns hand out maps at the welcome center. Jonesborough hands out stories, and one of the best ones is tucked inside an old brick building just off the square. Tennessee’s oldest town has brick sidewalks, historic storefronts, and a pace that invites a slow late morning. Right in the middle of it sits a family cafe that has been feeding locals and travelers since the early 1980s.
