16 Best Cafes in Memphis

“Just left and wanted to make sure I give this place a little praise. It's cozy, welcoming, and the staff all seem fun. One sang a singular line from Wicked while making drinks, one chatted while stocking, and another took & started orders. If I lived in Memphis, this is where I'd start my mornings... also, they made a fantastic dirty chai!“

“I had the chicken and dressing a couple weeks ago and it was phenomenal ,those smoked cabbage was amazing“

“great atmosphere, and delicious food...“

“As a family we all love coffee! I have to say that not only is their coffee out of this world tasty and flavorful but the owner is just as amazing!!! I've been to a lot of coffee places and none of them can compare to how great their coffee is. If anyone is ever in Memphis and enjoys coffee and muffins this is the place to go. Definitely would recommend the Mississippi mudslide or the chocolate covered cherry!!!“

“This place had the BEST lunch sandwich I've EVER had. It was so good and delicious. The turkey and ham meat slices were so juicy, the juice was running down my hand, and I've never had that with any sandwich before. I also got their sweet potato soup, which was one of their soups of the day, and that soup was also good! I love sweet potato soups, and they're usually always delicious, but this soup was more than delicious!!! The flavors of the soup were complex but complimented each other so well. It had bacon bits, homemade croutons, and goat cheese sprinkled on top. I've never had a better sweet potato soup in my entire life. I will be back, 100%. I can't talk enough about what I had that day. You have to experience it for yourself.“

“I was there for a private party. Not sure if it's a actual lounge or an event center. But it's quite large with two rooms. One has a bar and what looked like a dance floor. The second room was slightly smaller but was more than ample for the party of fifty. Could have had better lighting. I would recommend it to someone needing a nice place for a get together.“

“Kimb checked us in and she was wonderful. So friendly and informative. She made a dreaded doctor visit less stressful.“

“Had a delicious turkey sandwich (lettuce, shredded carrots, sprouts, cucumbers with honey mustard on 12 grain bread).“

“Diverse, friendly, affordable, cultural, authentic & there is no place in Memphis like Global Cafe!“

“Empathy Cafe’s posts are genuine and open discussions about mental health. This is an inclusive space where all are welcomed. I appreciate the different views expressed… very relatable and real.“

“Since this place is nextdoor to Reese's BBQ I decided to try it. What caught my eyes were the pictures of the different foods and desserts they have to offer. Once you get inside you will noticed how clean the place is. Not only you can buy foods and desserts, but you can also buy teddy bears, toys, and flags. The lady that was serving me was nice and patient with me. I described to get a Strawberry cheesecake flavor milkshake. It was what I needed for a hot day!“
