The old Memphis favorite is finally back! Java has been resurrected, and, while it looks very similar to the old Java, there are changes. The place is furnished similarly to before, but somehow there is much room. While it's not a sharp, sterile environment, it's much less cluttered than the old Java. The staff are friendly and quick. The old Open Mic on Thursday nights is back as well! From 7-10 you can hear from artists many and varied, and the standard of the performances is generally better than many open mics I've attended at other venues. I will say when it comes to vegan options, there's essentially nothing, so I can't imagine eating anything here, and that also rules out several of the drinks too. It's not going to keep me away from Java, but if they had vegan options I might be a more frequent customer. All in all it's great to have Java back, and I expect to become a regular.

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.

I stopped by this cute, hip, tiny coffeehouse this evening for a coffee. It’s pretty laid back, and the service is also a bit slow. The barista and the staff lady both are friendly and welcoming. There were a few people chilling at the spot. Nobody was in rush. I ordered a mocha. There were some baked goodies available, however I was not hungry. The coffee was nice, but somehow little too sweet for me. I will definitely give this place another visit again.
