Cannot speak highly enough of Meraki. The organization's mission itself is worth supporting, and on top of that, they make incredible coffee and DELICIOUS cold drinks in the summer! Strawberry lemonade is an absolute must. Great environment. Grab a book, sit back, and relax. Perfect place to get some work done or just take a break. Visited this spot maybe 15+ times in about two months.

I visited this place twice in one day when traveling through. I loved the chai and coffee, as well as the comfy environment inside. I also love the mission of this business in job training and coaching for HS students. Great work and coffee!

I loved the space, the art and furniture, appreciate the concept and found the girl behind the counter to be demure. Just wish she would have been a bit more friendly or personable and I believe they would benefit from a slightly bigger or more diverse menu but of course that adds complexity and cost.

My go to coffee shop when in the area. Great people, great vibes, and a nice walking area in my opinion.

A great brew and friendly faces. We stopped in here to grab a thermos of coffee on our trip. Not only was the coffee really good, but the staff was friendly and welcoming. I love this little community coffee shop and the ideals it stands for. We need more places like this in our community's to assist our youth in their choices of paths. I would definitely stop here again and highly encourage others to do so. Support your local community, grab coffee locally instead of from a chain.

Good coffee. Life music (Sunday morning) and friendly people.

Superb bagel sandwiches, coffee, and Yaupon! Best of all though, the venue is a non-profit shop with initiatives for youth training and soft skill development. The young people working were attentive and doing a great job running the place.

I was in search of a small roasting company that was doing good work in the community and, hopefully, making great coffee. I found both with Meraki. Ordered the Mighty Mississippi whole bean and it is full-bodied, aromatic, and absolutely delicious. You can add me in as a loyal customer.

Awesome non-profit coffee shop, open on Sunday (only 2 places in Clarksdale are open on Sundays). Great selection of Rishi teas, small-batch roasted coffee; they have Oat milk for the folks who are allergic to dairy and almonds :)
There’s a large bookshelf of free books for take one/leave one; there’s a little area of retail for gifts/art; plenty of seating; and a piano in the corner!
