Crazy Gander Coffee Company

Looking for a coffee spot on our trip to Memphis and zeroed in on Crazy Gander Coffee Company. After a pleasant morning walk from our hotel on N 2nd Street we made our way into Crazy Gander on Madison Ave. We were greeted by a welcoming, cozy environment. Friendly, helpful staff and delicious coffee and cafe food. I went for my staple oat milk latte. Delicious, well made, perfect balance of espresso and creamy, foamy goodness. I also went for a bowl of Steel Cut Oatmeal which, as generic as it sounds, isn’t always a satisfying experience (looking at you Starbucks). This experience was just fine, served with Granola, raisins and blueberrys. My son grabbed a Memphis which is their signature drip coffee. It comes with delicious shortbread cookie. He gave it a satisfied thumbs up. He also has the bread fast sandwich which looked like a solid, not overdone take on the homemade egg McMuffin. The environment reminded me of something I might find in Berkeley, CA near campus but with a Memphis twist. They had several delicious sounding signature drinks which I’m tempted to tap into either before I leave or next time I stop by.

We are traveling through Memphis & stopped in based on the excellent reviews. It didn’t disappoint! The honey lavender matchas were delicious, made with an actual bamboo brush/bowl, the cold brew was amazing & the espresso perfect! Mary was our barista & was so helpful & friendly & crafted beautiful drinks for us. It is also a dog-friendly cafe, which is awesome bc we’re traveling with our sweet Boston Terrier, Nala. Can’t wait to return!

December 28, 2025 - 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My journey for the best cup of coffee brought me to Memphis, Tennessee, where I discovered Crazy Gander Coffee Company. What a delightful find! This little, understated shop lived up to its name as the coffee was CRAZY good. I enjoyed two espresso drinks: a Cortado and an Americano. Both were made with single sourced organic beans from Bali and were simply outstanding! The staff of three were friendly and engaging. They were well versed in the business and provided excellent customer service. Journey, the manager, gladly explained the operation of the shop. She even provided a sample of the house cold brew, made from a special blend of freshly roasted beans. If you are ever in Memphis and want a truly great cup of coffee, Crazy Gander is a must visit. You will not be disappointed. This was a true 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ visit.

the cutest little coffee shop tucked away in downtown Memphis. I got an iced honey latte and my family tried the German chocolate lattes iced and the drinks were delicious. The service was amazing and the baristas were friendly and accommodating.

As a flight attendant, I always enjoy exploring local coffee spots during my layovers. This was my first visit, and I absolutely loved it. The customer service was outstanding, the atmosphere was welcoming, and my cappuccino was flawless—smooth, balanced, and truly lovely. When I see just one size for a cappuccino on the menu, I know the place takes coffee seriously. Thank you, Crazy Gander, for this hidden gem!
