50 Best Coffee Shops in Memphis

“I saw a post about this place on TT. The post did not do this place justice. The food and drinks are on point. We ordered the red tea and Turkish coffee. The drinks were hot and flavorful. We also ordered the all day Arabic breakfast…. What a treat for the senses! Everything we tried was fantastic. The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly!“

“The best flavored coffee in town with many SF flavors.“

“No demeans for Starbucks but the Brew... You get more for your bucks. The coffee is tasty. The staff is prompt and accommodating. Who wouldn't drive a little further for superb service and a Blondie? I'm glad it's coffee because I'm addicted! Lol“

“The ladies working today (I hate that I didn’t get your names!) were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and genuinely helpful. Their hospitality is exactly what you hope to find in every coffee shop, but unfortunately, it’s becoming harder to come by.

They took the time to make my visit special, chatting with me about my time in Memphis and making me feel like more than just another customer. That kind of authentic kindness leaves a lasting impression.

I’m not a local, but if I were, this would absolutely be my new coffee spot. Five stars all around!“

“Great atmosphere and great food! We tried the Carlson pizza and it was to die for. The homemade pita crust really hit the spot.“

“Best breakfast ever!!! Always fresh, warm and delicious. Real eggs and perfectly cooked bacon!!“

““Welcome Home” These are the words that enthusiastically and warmly enveloped me when I walked through the doors. This space is a beautifully and intentionally curated space with a mission rooted in community. To even experience it for a moment as I passed through Memphis was indeed a blessing. Stop by, try any of the delicious speciality drinks and sit a while. You won’t regret it!“

“Excellent coffee and a wonderful surprise having packaged gluten free, Celiac safe, goodoes!!“

“10/10 absolutely delicious food and coffee! Before visiting Memphis, I researched great breakfast places and so glad we visited Brother Junipers. We will certainly be back! The cinnamon pancakes are delicious! We had veggie omelet, home fries, B&G, steak & eggs, espresso and hazelnut latte! So good! Also, EXCELLENT customer service! Worth the wait!“

“Loved this place. Cookies were amazing and banana pudding was spot on.“

“I have been here several times and the best service and food each time. I highly recommend Just Love ❤️“

“What a find! Humble drip joins the space with a Greek diner, but don’t let the setting stop you from getting a great, very well made cup of coffee. Best flat white I had in Memphis — served with a smile, perfectly brewed and a little heart on top of the foam. Prices are top, too. And the little seating area is comfy and clean.“

“Fantastic spot to grab a seasonal or regular coffee, or any of the delightful drink/beverage options they offer. The staff is incredible and the whole vibe is inviting. Love the yellow mugs! So drop into a chair or the comfy couch or pull up a table - you won’t regret it.“

“Love getting Saturday breakfast with hubby and the Sunrise workers. I’ve yet to have anything bad on their menu, and the weekly specials are always a hit!“

“Just stopped by for a cortado. Wow! Not only was it made quickly, it was one of the best I’ve ever had. I also got to pet a nice doggo while I waited. 😁“

“Probably the only coffee bar that's worth visiting in downtown Memphis (was coffee bar hopping during my Memphis visit for work). Seating space is a bit limited though but still nicely open and lit. They seem to rotate their specialty mixed coffee drinks pretty often but they probably made the frothiest cappuccino I've had across the US (orange marmalade capp). They were also the only coffee bar I found that did pour overs.“

“I really love Scooters food and beverages choices. The staff is really kind and its alot more affordable than Starbucks. The only thing is that my order is always made wrong. I always ask for no whip cream on my beverages. They make it over but I say no whip because I hate it.“

“Belltower at Shelby Farms was so kind to let us use their outdoor space for my sister’s get-together right after she got engaged! Claire, the manager, was extremely helpful, involved, and considerate. The catered charcuterie cups were delicious. And the outdoor set up they let us decorate made the finishing touches give it an outdoor bridal shower feel. It was truly a special event, and Belltower worked with us every step of the way to make it just that.“

“Welcoming atmosphere and just the best of all possibilities.“

“The quality of the food and drink far exceeds the price! Shout out properly to Armoni as a fabulous, attentive and charismatic waitress with all the jazz! Your host Ken is ready to serve in style and grace. We will be back! Ya should try it too, again and again 💯“

“I just had the best bacon, egg and cheese croissant EVER !!! The nice lady heated it for me and it was amazing. Haven’t eaten the muffins yet but I’m sure they will be phenomenal too.“

“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.“

“Honestly, this place is what skateboarding is all about. Everyone from skater to employee were polite, helpful, and just a positive environment all around. It doesn’t matter if you’re new, am, pro, or just getting back into it there is something for everyone. Everyone involved in bringing this to life put their all into it and it shows. I couldn’t recommend them more.“

“My brother and I lost our dad two weeks ago and met here to have a couple of Dad’s favorite Caramel Macchiato’s. John was extremely gracious to us and most hospitable when he found out why we were there. Super nice guy. Highly recommend this location. Say hi to John.“

“I had the best cup of tea with piping hot water. My aunt and I went together after life church. It was a rare outing for me. I ordered a chicken salad sandwich for my husband. My aunt had a turkey sausage and egg breakfast wrap and a cup of lemon ginger tea. I highly recommend this place. On this day, it was not crowded but cozy.“

“I actually enjoy scooters . Usually very friendly courteous and friendly. Food is great and the selection of shakes ,blenders and coffees are the best. However today a very rude employee made a nasty sounding deep throat harking cough while I am waiting for my order at the window. I started to ask for my money back I don't want his disgusting germs coughed upon my order. He was absolutely gross. Not the cashier he is always kind . Not the young lady from Florida she is always friendly and professional.. the jerk hiding around the corner peeking at to see my reaction his unprofessional disgusting behavior around food which is unsafe, unsanitary and hazardous to all customers.. No thank you.“

Food delicious, large portions. First time ever eating plain pancakes without butter/syrup they were that good! And tasty scrambled eggs.

“Honestly, I wasn’t expecting too much when I saw a coffee shop in a zoo. BUT it was actually really, really good! The decor inside is so cool and atmospheric, and the coffee was delicious! They had a wide range of options on the menu and the prices were so reasonable. This is going to be my treat to myself every time we hit the zoo now!“

In this crazy world sometimes it's the small things like a little kindness. Can make someone day.Thanks crew for all thaty'all do.“

“We love this place and have been coming for years. One of the original hip coffee shops in Memphis. Great little gift shop, nice treats, fresh hot coffee. It’s a perfect atmosphere to work alone, study or visit with friends. It’s a total midtown vibe. Don’t miss it if you are visiting from out of town. It’s the real Memphis.“

We received a code for the clean and well stocked restroom, there were yummy snacks and sandwiches. I bought a sleek black flask for my mint tea with honey syrup while my husband a his selection of Cafe. It was familiar in an unfamiliar place. It was great.“
