19 Best Cafes in Memphis

“I stopped in for coffee while walking my dog and the door specified dogs allowed, so great. It felt like Colorado. The baristas were kind and welcoming. The space is clean, cozy and quaint. The garage door was open and outdoor seating/tables seemed so perfect for the break in temps we had. Great experience. I’ll definitely be coming back during my Downtown adventures.“

“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!!!“

“Trifecta! 1. Great food. I loved the oatmeal and appreciated it being on the menu. 2. Super-friendly service—treated with a smile. 3. The historic digs of this cafe are fantastic—really sets the scene. Perfect experience, imo. I was in town for a conference in which I’m likely to return. I’m keeping a map pin on Keough for next time.“

Great cafe for a quick and quiet lunch. I had the chicken salad on a croissant and it was the most delicious chicken salad I've ever had.
Will definitely go back when I'm in town.“

“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!“

From the moment you step inside, you're immersed in the heart of music history. Whether you're grabbing a bite to eat or soaking in the ambiance, Sun Studios Café is a must-visit destination for anyone craving a taste of Memphis's iconic music scene.Rock on,Marisa Balletti-Lavoie“

“The Dixon is a Memphis treasure not to be missed. Wonderful art exhibits and a fabulous garden with rotating events for the entire family.“

“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.“

“This isn't just my favorite coffee shop in town; it's a true community gem. I make it a point to visit almost every weekday, and for good reason. The staff are incredibly kind—they always have a warm greeting and treats ready for my dogs, which is a small touch that means so much. And of course, the coffee is consistently excellent!
Beyond the fantastic coffee and friendly faces, what truly sets this place apart is their heart for the community. Recently, they went above and beyond by helping me purchase a bicycle for someone who needed community support, and is a frequent guest of the business. This act of generosity speaks volumes about their character. If you're anywhere downtown, this coffee shop is an absolute must-stop, not just for a great cup of coffee, but to support a business that genuinely cares.“

“It was a great place very great“

“Everyone there is so friendly and the manager goes above and beyond. Loved the atmosphere in there and you can't go wrong with the coffee and don't forget to grab a delicious danish, fresh made each morning, only if they don't sale out before you get there. They are that good.“
