Ancient Grounds Coffee Shop
2000 Prentiss Pl, Memphis, TN
Crema's Take
“Tucked inside Memphis's zoo, Ancient Grounds is a hidden gem that punches above expectations with moody, atmospheric decor and genuinely creative signature drinks like their celebrated Grizzly Graham Latte and Chickie Cherry Chai Latte. While execution can be inconsistent (quality control issues with some espresso drinks and occasional watery preparations), the staff moves with impressive speed and genuine warmth, making it feel like a much-needed escape rather than a typical zoo concession stand. It's a quirky, family-friendly spot worth seeking out if you're in the area and craving something more adventurous than standard coffee shop fare.”

i got the grizzly graham latte on Friday it was kinda taste mixing in my mouth lol. however the service was nice and they made the drink so fast.
Wife talked me into coming here and the service was nice but cappuccino was less than half full and tasted so bad I threw it away. She used the half and half and it was spoiled. Was not impressed at all
Feels like a much needed upgrade to the zoo. I got the chickie cherry chai latte, iced, and it was very tasty if a little watery. Kind of expensive, but I consider it a good cause!
The grizzly graham latte was spectacular. Would go back to the zoo, just for this! Other guests in our party also said the regular coffee and cold brew was also good.
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!
