Crema's Take
“Cxffeeblack feels less like a coffee shop and more like stepping into a friend's living room, complete with vinyl spinning and baristas who genuinely welcome you home. The owners pour real care into both their roasting and their craft drinks, creating a space where you'll want to linger with a book or laptop and soak in the thoughtful, music-filled atmosphere. With an impressive 4.9-star rating, this Memphis gem has earned its reputation as a spot that gets the details right—from knowledgeable recommendations to a vibe that keeps visitors coming back every time they're in town.”

Love love love!! As soon as you walk into the cafe, you feel like you walked into someone’s living room. The owners and baristas saying “welcome home” really emphasized that. The record player, the comfy couch area, everything felt like a spot that you are always welcomed to. We tried the D’angelo latte and the Yamz latte- YUM!! The milk texture was beautiful, the flavors perfectly complement the espresso. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend!
I come into Memphis from Seattle a couple times a year to visit my family but it was my first time here and I loved it. I asked the barista what they recommended and they were so nice! Asked me follow up questions and then suggested an oat milk flat white for myself and a drip coffee with a brown sugar cardamom syrup for my dad --some of the BEST coffee I've ever had. Espresso in the flat white was so bright and fruity and the coffee was incredibly smooth and not too sweet. Additionally, the other customers were very sociable, I had great conversations, and the whole place felt welcoming and inviting. Instant fan, will definitely be back!
The team here is one of a kind. Great service, unique vibe, tremendous care for their coffee- Roaster and Coffee shop. If you have not been, make some time, it could be your new favorite coffee spot. It is in my top 3 here in Memphis for sure.
Being in the area decided to go there for coffee after hearing about it from my daughter. The area of is just west of the Berclair area and close to Treadwell Middle School. The facility was clean and rustic. Plenty of room to sit and chat or gather. Got the D’Angelo latte hot with oat at no additional charge. It was good and hit the spot. Maybe a little too sweet for me. Maybe next time will ask for less sugar. Staff was informative and friendly. Noise level was low considering it was in the mid afternoon when I went. Would definitely recommend this place especially when near the neighborhood.
This place is a little gem with so much knowledge and history. The music, the vibe, all of it. Everytime I visit Memphis, I make the stop here to read or do a little work. I sometimes feel the ancestors smiling on this piece of heaven in Memphis. Excited for the new space. Definitely come here and learn about where coffee actually originated from. And the D'Angelo is super yummy!!!
