I've been in and out of the doors of this place over the years pretty much since they first opened. The staff is wonderful and obviously enjoys being there, and yesterday I had a strawberry lemonade that was absolutely to kill for! (I mean it might have been the 97 plus degree heat, but that lemonade was still on point!)

Three days in Memphis for us tourists and THIS magical place along with Owen’s coffee mastery has left an indelible image in our hearts and minds. No pic of my yummy mocha because it seems to have vanished without warning. Fellow diners were a treat, too.

Visited the coffee shop in the Cooper Young area and it was great. The coffee and pastries were excellent and the service was nice. The cafe interior is an eclectic mix of old and new and there was plenty of space. I got a lavender mocha and a scone and both were great. I look forward to visiting again when I am back in the area.

Love this coffee shop. Been coming here for a few weeks now All the employees are wonderful. They keep the door open when it's nice weather outside so I love that. Avocado toast is amazing in the iced coffee is perfect. Highly recommend everyone should come here! I work at a local shop around the corner so this is very convenient for me.

I finally tried Java Cabana again after they’re reopening, and I definitely feel it has improved! The vibe is still good, there are better food options, lots of fun events on the calendar, and (most importantly!) the coffee is good! I love when my latte has a good color and plenty of unmelted ice! The campfire latte was super delish. I will be frequenting!

Amazing little cafe with awesome coffee and a cool vibe! I had the smoothest cappuccino which left me wanting another! Service and patrons were super friendly. If you’re in the Cooper Young neighborhood, stop by this cafe for a beverage and a little dessert!
