Cxffeeblack

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.

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!

genuinely my fave tasting espresso i’ve had in memphis like girl it will make you hear colors. the inside is sooooo cutie it makes you feel like you should start dressing cooler. we spilled a matcha everywhere accidentally but they were so nice and helpful about it.

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!!!

I loved the vibes at this coffee shop! It’s Black-owned, and I really appreciated the values and the story behind the name. The drink I got was good, but I was a little disappointed to find only two menu options in the shop — especially since online it looked like there were more choices. I was really hoping to try the pancake latte or matcha. Next time I'm in Memphis, and I would come back again, but I do wish there were more options available in-store.

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.

If you’re truly into coffee, you stop here in you’re in Memphis. I can’t speak for the local community as a visitor, but the fact that PBS was showing up later that afternoon should tell you enough about what they do for those around them Here’s more about why I’m over the top about this place - In my first steps walking into the shop I was immediately greeted and welcomed in. I don’t think that’s a requirement, but It brought my mood up! Then, after mentioning what options there were for a pour over, the man behind the counter took the time to walk me through each and every selection they had, explaining in detail where it was from what notes you can expect, and his honest opinions on the roast. He didn’t have to do that, but he did without me asking. After I got my drink, I sat down for 20 minutes and watched every single person who walked into the shop be greeted like they were best friends. And I recognized that people didn’t just come in and leave, they stayed, hung out, and had a good time. I think that’s what a local shop should be about. If I lived here, I’d not choose a place over them.

I discovered Cxffeeblack at the Farmer’s Market this past weekend and picked up their Guji Mane beans — and wow! It’s been a while since I’ve found coffee beans smooth and flavorful enough to enjoy straight up, but these absolutely delivered. I also really appreciated that they included a brew recipe right on the bag. You can really taste the quality, which shows the care that goes into their sourcing. I’m already looking forward to visiting their storefront soon!

Had a great coffee experience this morning. The D'Angelo Latte was a great cup of coffee. I enjoyed the balance of flavors:cardamom, sea salt and the espresso were very balanced. Service was awesome. The barista and others were very kind and helpful. Super nice and chill. The place has a cool vibe with super relaxing music. Bathroom was nice and clean. The shop has a bar with chairs, tables and chairs, a comfy sitting area, a couch and love seat. The decor has many pictures that are unique and original. Very cool set up. It was quite busy when we came. I will return to try other coffees. I really enjoyed my visit.

This place is something truly special and is exactly the type of business we should be supporting. By helping to explain a lesser-known aspect of the history of coffee and by providing a quality product with excellent service, this establishment demonstrates the power of community. I had the pleasure of enjoying a latte recommended to me by the barista and although I can not pretend to be an expert in coffee, it was the best latte I have ever had. The coffee beans are roasted well, and the drink balances sweetness well. I immediately purchased beans for my machine at home. The ambiance in the building feels so welcoming. The vibes were immaculate as I sat there talking to the staff about TV and anime we both enjoyed. There is a real passion that exists here. The generosity of the business also blew me away. The merchandise/apparel they offer also got me, as I bought a hat too.

Can't believe I had never been here!! Right from walking in, felt at home!! They seem to be super intentional with the atmosphere in there, and I really love it!! Jay behind the bar was so friendly and knowledgeable! Everyone that came in behind us was also greeted like family! We got a pour over and a cortado -- both of which were fantastic! Can't recommend enough! The definition of a neighborhood coffee shop! Plus a cool mission behind the business

*The new address is 3386 Bowen. CxffeeBlack is a very welcoming and cozy coffee shop. The interior is clean with natural lighting, offering several warm and cold beverages to choose from. The staff is kind and friendly. There are several coffees with their own unique names, blends, and flavors. The coffee is also available to take home, along with merchandise and literature about the origins of coffee itself with the message of supporting community and black coffee. Definitely check it out!

They have mix drinks coffee i think tea also it was a food truck there also its a business but a non profit there was a beat battle i had fun my husband was one of the beat makers

Great coffee and I am a coffee connoisseur! The best espresso drinks! Loved both the yam and brown sugar. We were visiting Memphis and our visit to this coffee shop gave us a warm glow. We enjoyed sampling their coffee products. We brought home coffee beans, canned coffee drinks, coffee spice rub. Glad we also got the local smoked spinach dip. Last but not least, thanks for sending us to Crumpy's for the Memphis wings experience!

I like my coffee BLACK, I say! This incredible coffee shop has it all. When I walked in, I knew that this place was something special. From the personal photographs to the black art on the walls, this coffee shop expressed so much. It reminded me of a special bookstore in D.C. near Howard University's campus called Sankofa. This place is a place for us. Even if you haven't been there yet (and what are you waiting for?) once you walk in, it feels like home. For hot coffee, I recommend Black Both Sides or Guji Mane. It is some GOOD coffee! GThis time that I recently went, I had the Gold Brew. It was amazing! I don't even like cold coffee that much. But this, was worth every penny. I also had the Buttermilk Babes Red Velvet cookies. Those were pretty darn good, too! I want to also shoutout Sidney, who took our order. She was perfectly helpful, patient and friendly. Places like this mean the world to me and to the culture. I cannot wait to go back!

"Welcome home." These were the first words we heard when we walked in to cxffeeblack this morning. We were the only patrons in there at 9:18am this morning and Bryshard welcomed us like old friends. We found ourselves in deep and meaningful conversation as he shared the story of Cxffeeblack and the impacts they're making both locally + globally. We settled into the comfy couch as Bryshard put together a couple of to-go carafes for a customer, sipping delicious samplers. Before we knew it, the place was bustling and full of life. We met a local named Bob (Hey, Bob!) and we found ourselves in another deep conversation. Then, the owners came in and Bob introduced us. It was then we fully understood the meaning of "Welcome Home." We were embraced with hugs so full of warmth and love, and I knew we'd made the right decision to come to Cxffeeblack. We typically go to places for the coffee, but this was just as much about the experience and sense of community, mutual respect, and friendship emitting from this little joint. After all was said and done, we spent 90 minutes in here, but it felt like days due to the good vibes of everyone inside. Oh, yeah, and the coffee is top-notch, almost on another planet. Run, don't walk, to Cxffeeblack. Thank you, Renata + Bartholomew, for this beautiful space and community you are building. "May your house never lack coffee nor peace."

Great coffee and incredible people. Very low key vibe. The barista was very kind and connected well with every customer who walked in. Definitely would recommend!

This is actually what a coffee shop should be for those really into coffee! I think the person helping me was the owner. He answered questions, knew the answers and the coffee (Guji Mane Uncut) had flavors I have never experienced (in a good way). I highly recommend and will be back! I recommend you take a trip there!! This should be listed as a highlight of Memphis!

I was so impressed by this place and into the conversation and coffee that I left without paying! I can't find a number to call but I hope you all see this to know I'll be back first thing after work or in the morning to pay for this delicious coffee I walked out with!!

Home. This is a place for coffee and family. The coffee is on point, no doubt. But when I remember this place, I'll always remember how I was welcomed home. Go see.

Extremely friendly and welcoming spot. Super local and one of the best lattes I've had. Couldn't recommend these guys enough.

This place is too funny. I'm not even gonna get into the whole anti-gentrification bit. You know you sell $4 coffee, right?... Do the locals pay that? Anyways, they're nice people - talk your ear off too. And the coffee is actually amazing. Just amazing. We've been here many times. And will continue to visit for that coffee.

Snagged a guji mane bag at the CY farmer's market a month ago I think? Been meaning to try this place out for a while, but it's summer, and I'm busy with work. Anyways, incredible coffee! I'm a transplant from Portland, OR and I'd say their coffee is up there with quite a few roasters I've purchased from back there. Try their canned gold brew too, fantastic stuff and highly recommended!

This was my first time here and the whole place was sort of abuzz with positive energy. I was looking for some coffee for house guests and Jay helped me decide. He was very knowledgeable about the process and the tea and ingredients they have to offer. I will definitely be going back soon.

Service is great and friendly. Most welcoming coffee shop I have been to. Good coffee. I will come back the next time I am in Memphis. I wish we had a place like this in Dallas. It's a great neighborhood hangout place.

Great service and vibes! I felt like I was in community and the D'Angelo Brown Sugar latte was incredible. Plus they have great merch and items from local vendors.

My girlfriend and I drove out to Memphis for my birthday trip and had the most amazing experience here. From the moment you walk in you're welcomed and treated like family. Everyone here is very gracious and hospitable. The drinks here are top tier and we're definitely excited to come back.

I just went to Memphis for work, and I was amazed by this little spot. For starters, the coffee rocked my world. The complexity of the flavor was like nothing I've ever had. And the knowledge and passion of the staff shows through everywhere. Their commitment to an all Black coffee sourcing chain, and their dedication to sharing their knowledge with young Black baristas is beautiful. And the actual space has a relaxing, welcoming vibe for all. I can't wait to come back. I also bought all my travel gifts here--great coffee stuff and swag!

Went in here with a friend for this first time this week. Had the D'Angelo latte iced and it was the best iced latte I've ever had in my life. Will definitely be back. Amazing and hospitable customer service! Very cozy shop as well with cool merchandise.

fantastic coffee, fantastic people. it's got the best baristas you could ask for, direct and meaningful community engagement, neat events, and bombass coffee. swing by y'all.

stopped in for the first time today and it turned out they were having an event. great people, great place. absolutely delicious coffee!
