Makedas Butter Cookies Downtown 301 Jefferson Avenue, Memphis, TN 38103

"The best delectable desserts and food on this side of the planet! Oh I how I wish there was a location on all sides of town‼️ My favorites: Of course the butter cookies, chocolates chip pecan cookies, the chicken salad is soooo good it will make you slap something or somebody! Lol The pies and banana pudding are a force to be reckoned with! Highly recommended! The owner Tamika is an amazing woman! Her energy fills the air with positivity, love and laughter!"

"Was introduced to this establishment by a wonderful new colleague during a business trip. The locals know the history, but for out of towners, beautiful "Makeda" passed away from leukemia, but her legacy lives on. This place smells like heaven! Took back a dozen to share with my family. Go early - they're made fresh daily so they sell out quickly. Wishing nothing but continued success for this family owned cookie shop."

"Spent a day in Memphis and had to try these famous cookies. They did not disappoint. We should’ve ordered more. My husband and 2 year old scarfed down the cookies and barely left me any. Tip for Google Map users: copy and paste their listed address to get to the correct location. If you type in their name, Google Maps will take you to their old location which is now owned by another cookie company called Butteriffic."

"The smell of deliciousness wafts out from the store as you enter Makeda's. I loved the butter and strawberry frosted cookies. My children loved the chocolate chip and lemon cookies."
