MeMe’s Café is a casual, scratch-cooking restaurant at 975 Zion Park Boulevard in central Springdale, Utah, the gateway town to Zion National Park. Its culinary identity brings together sweet and savory crepes, barbecue sandwiches, burgers, wraps, and salads rather than sticking to a single cuisine. Travelers come for breakfast before entering the park, a substantial meal after hiking, and indoor or patio dining beneath Springdale’s sandstone surroundings. Free patron parking and nearby Springdale Shuttle Stop 5 make it practical with or without a car.
What to Expect at MeMe’s Café
The kitchen emphasizes food made from scratch, with crepes providing the clearest reason to choose MeMe’s over a standard burger stop. Both sweet and savory versions feature in its repertoire, alongside barbecue sandwiches and lighter wraps and salads. The restaurant also highlights a Bacon and Egg Burger, a substantial option for hungry hikers. Breakfast runs from 8 to 11:30 a.m.; lunch and dinner take over at 11:30 a.m., so time your arrival around the menu you actually want.
Expect a small, artsy café rather than formal French dining: the crepes share billing with American comfort food, and hiking clothes fit the setting. Indoor tables offer a break from the weather, while the outside patios make more sense on mild mornings and evenings. Vegetarian diners can ask about the current crepe and salad choices; vegan and gluten-free diners should discuss ingredients and preparation directly with staff, particularly because conventional crepe batter contains wheat, eggs, and milk. Check the current menu before making dietary plans.
- Sweet and savory crepes: The café’s signature specialty gives breakfast seekers and dessert-minded diners a common starting point.
- Barbecue sandwiches: A hearty alternative to crepes, suited to a substantial lunch after time on Zion’s trails.
- Bacon and Egg Burger: A specifically featured house offering that combines a burger with breakfast-style toppings.
- Indoor and outdoor seating: Choose the dining room or one of the outside patios according to temperature and weather.
- Takeaway ordering: Online orders are exclusively for pickup; customers eating at the café should order upon arrival.

Visiting Tips, Getting There & Nearby Pairings
Arrive near the 8 a.m. opening for breakfast before a park day, or aim between the conventional lunch and dinner rushes for a more flexible meal stop. For dine-in service, order when you arrive rather than placing an online takeaway order to claim a table. Contact the restaurant directly about large parties, reservation arrangements, payment methods, or substantial pickup orders. The official menu and ordering page is the place to check current choices.
Use Springdale Shuttle Stop 5 when the seasonal town shuttle operates; this is separate from the shuttle inside Zion Canyon. Drivers should turn toward Juniper Lane for the café’s free patron parking rather than assume curbside spaces are free. Indoor and patio seating offer different layouts: wheelchair users should call about the step-free approach from parking, table clearance, and restroom access before arrival. For nearby browsing, DeZion Gallery at 1051 Zion Park Boulevard and David J. West Gallery at 801 Zion Park Boulevard are roughly five to ten minutes away on foot in opposite directions.
