Java Cabana, Cooper-Young's Coffeehouse

Mary does a fabulous job making you feel special...and she has an MFA! What? So cool! Love the live music, but a great place to relax/study during the day.

Literally the most cozy, comforting, homey place I've been. Wen't on a road-trip and found this place luckily. Easily the best experience the whole time! I can say with confidence it's one of my favorite places to be.

Anthic style cafe, outside didn't look good but inside set was cool. Local bakes

Used to love this place but last few times it was just disappointing. Slow, brought me the wrong drink.. and another time right drink but tasted bad. They had zero non dairy options.. no almond or coconut milk, no natural non refined sweeteners. Also, the place is kind of dirty to be honest. Maybe the kitchen is clean as a whistle but the main area needs serious help. I think I saw brown cobwebs attached to the various tacky dirty looking junk hanging from the ceiling. Just gross.. and no. Bottom line the place appears to have been run into the ground over the years. Too many other cleaner, better options for a cup of joe.

In reply to owners reply, nothing mean spirited sbout my review. Just factual, honest truth about how things appear to be.

Glad to hear you now offer natural alternatives.. none existed at the time I inquired. Otherwise, I can only say that old buildings arent a reasonable excuse for being dirty. Like Redd Foxx once said, your butt doesnt wash itself.

Friendly and patient staff, however hours change semi frequently as of recently and weren’t accurate on here. The coffee wasn’t bad, but definitely wasn’t as good as I’d hoped. I will cut some slack as I had came in close to closing (inaccurate online hours listed).

Such a pleasant atmosphere! So warm and inviting, and everything is so delicious (seriously good chai, I must say). Also, the employees are always nice, and that's a huge plus!

Unfriendly and stuck up! The coffee left a LOT to ne desired. I have never had to add sugar to a flavored latte before but this one need some help to say the least. The man that took my order had the nerve to tell the woman making the drinks that "some people" dont know how to drink coffee. Excuse me sir, but some people dont know how to make coffee! Rude Rude Rude! The inside of the shop looked tike someones packrat grand mothere passed away and had never dusted. Gross! Give less than 1 star if I could.

Great coffee and atmosphere.

4.5 Stars - I was so impressed by the great latte, and very funky atmosphere I am bringing my bride and kids here very soon; we love independent shops owned and operated with pride. For coffee-loving visitors to Memphis, Java Cabana should be on the short list of destinations.

This place is absolutely fantastic! It was very quiet when my friend and I walked in, however it was very calm and mellow, it's like the coffee shops you see on the cover of books!
