10Best Says

This retro coffeehouse has been a fixture in the trendy Cooper-Young district since 1992. Befitting of any coffeehouse stereotype, you can sip a steaming cup of joe while listening to live acoustic music or poetry readings and browsing the constantly rotated local artwork that decorates the walls. Everything about Java Cabana screams retro and fun - from the mugs to the vintage decor to the mixed bag of Memphis personalities that frequent the tiny shop. The coffee and specialty drink list is lengthy, and simply a blast to read through; nothing seems to break the $5 a cup mark either, which in our book is pretty cool. They also offer sandwiches, scrumptious desserts, and even breakfast.
