Java Cabana, Cooper-Young's Coffeehouse

Great atmosphere, great people, and even greater coffee. This has become my favorite place to go on weekends, always looking forward to it!

Open mic night is every Thursday from 8pm to 10pm. Local people getting on stage showing what they got to offer. Ranging from poetry to singing to duets to performance. A treat and delight to brighten your week. Tonight was a lot of for me. But do not take my word for it, check it out yourselves.

This is a great little spot to sit down and get some work done or chat with a friend. They have tables with chess boards set up which was fun. The people behind the counter are friendly and very willing to help. I really enjoyed my time here.

Best coffee house in Memphis, hands down. Great coffee, homemade sandwiches and desserts, and a one of a kind cozy-at home atmosphere. If you want the real deal local café scene, a place to meet new people, or just a nice place to read and study, this is the place for you. No matter who you are, everyone is welcome.

Great experience i performed at the open mic there for Valentine's Day and had a very great experience. Very friendly, warm, and welcoming atmosphere the thing i love about the businesses and people in Copper Young is they know how to treat people. Everyone was very courteous, helpful, and poliet. If you come to Memphis on business or leisure i highly recommend you stop by the Java Cabana Coffeeshop and tell them Big Ed sent ya. 😍

I love their potato salad, milk shakes and the cookies. If you're looking for a chill place to either play chess or chills with friends then this is the place for you. The coffee and cafe's are unique and wonderful. Try the funky monkey or a wonderful milkshake.

This place was my favorite years ago when I was an undergrad at University of Memphis so naturally I had to stop in when I came to visit. Yep, still hands down the best coffee in the area. Their lavender mocha is a dream come true.

Practically insulted by the owner when I asked for whip on a drink because I didn't know there was an extra charge. I offered to cover the charge because why would I care not to? The owner was extremely rude about it and slammed my drink on the counter, causing it to spill out of the cup. They literally said, "Well, that's what happens when you ask for whip," but still denied my offer to cover the extra fifty or seventy cents. Weird. The next time I went for a latte. Apparently you can't use the bathroom there without buying something though. So while my boyfriend stood in the relatively long line to order, a young, scared looking server asked the owner if I could use the bathroom. They still would not let me use the bathroom even after I made it clear that I was here for coffee. We ended up leaving instead. Absolutely ridiculous.

Long story short, the place is ran by an intolerable person with ridiculous bathroom policies akin to those randomly strict gas stations but the coffee is decent if you avoid the whip and can't go absolutely anywhere else.

Thanks residents of Cooper-Young in Memphis Tn. What a wonderful positive group of young artists! Thanks for welcoming us oldsters with open arms. I feel like we made friends and got to hear some pertinate poetry. The Music was fantastic! It was enriching. Thank you.

Nice place but the young lady behind the counter was not very pleasant. The internet was off and you don't get the password until you purchase something. Once I purchased my coffee and sandwich she told me it was down. Things changed a bit when the owner arrived. The owner was very nice and provided great customer service. There are several coffee shops in the area. Not sure if I will give this a second chance.
