    I love a neighborhood coffee spot and this one is adorable nestled in the Binghampton Arts area of the city. There is an outside covered seating area as well and dog friendly. On this visit it didn't feel people friendly however it was immediately after opening but two staff person/owners, not sure but they didn't feel welcoming to me. We did come in filming so there was an immediate reminder to not film faces even though it was also posted. And I get that people do not read and miss signs, but it was the tone for me. Nothing abrupt or ugly it just made a difference in my experience. We a group of four were there at open, 8:15 or so and the place is spacious as there are two areas of seating. The decor is nice and airy with exposed brick, plants and colorful seating. The parking is plentiful as there is rear and street parking. However, I was not a fan of the coffee I ordered. Smokey Salted Caramel latte with whole milk and unfortunately that is what I tasted most, milk. The salted caramel whatever flavoring (because I am not sure what the flavoring was) and milk. My first sip was a mouthful of foam and salted caramel, pure smoke taste then salt the liquid caramel. Well that's how it tasted in my mind and the best way to describe it. Now in all fainess, I didn't immediately stir because I didn't wan't to mess up the pretty design so perhaps the coffee should have been stirred before initial sip. Since the coffee doesn't stay warm long I did ask for togo cup and try later at home. I re-heated the coffee and still a stong milk taste versus coffee. This very well could be my selection of choice.

    Okay first let me say the vibe of this place is very cool. Right outside of the shop is a a mural that says yay coffee, I mean how perfect is that!! It's also a store within the coffee shop that seemed like it had very cool local items to buy, and I'm all about shopping local. I will say my friends love this spot and go often. There is two sides, so plenty of seating and it seemed very conducive to working from this location too. So why only 3 stars? I am a fair believer that everyone has an off day and I'm guessing it may have been it for them. I just felt like the person who helped us was extremely unfriendly. It was my first time there and I felt rushed to order my drink with her. My coffee was okay and I definitely think I would have enjoyed it more having ordered probably something different and to be fair they had lots of options. Also to note my friends loved their coffee so it does seem like they produce quality coffee here. Like I said maybe she was just having a bad day but she didn't seem happy to see our group or to help our group, it was about 5 of us. And at one point we are standing all together by the register and she basically told one of my friends to move so the man behind her could go. I mean we were customers too and we all ordered drinks and if she felt like she was blocking him there could have been a more pleasant way to tell her, she wasn't doing it on purpose. And the man wasn't upset it wasn't like he was saying excuse me and nobody heard he was looking at what he wanted to order. All and all I would say I would still come back. I really do think they are worth a try. I know baristas work hard and working with the public isn't easy. I don't know what type of customers came in before us and it could have affected how she was feeling, I totally get it and definitely feel like they deserve a second chance to try because the place is a vibe!

    Seasonal coffee

    Always love the coffee and pastries at City & State! They recently added more seating which is great because the place can be packed at times. I love their seasonal coffee menu. The people are eclectic & nice which fits the Broad Avenue area. They are an inclusive business.

    Mango sticky pudding latte
    Dianna S.

    Stop by City and State to grab one of the summer seasonal lattes today. I wanted to try the mango sticky pudding latte. I ordered it half sweet with oat milk. It was pretty good, but I did not taste that much mango flavoring. It was quite refreshing since I ordered it iced and it's quite warm today in Memphis Tennessee. The baristas were very kind and friendly. The establishment has changed their layout of the place and they have merged the gift shop and the coffee shop together where there is merchandise and tables in both areas. I like the newish streamlined look. This is a cool place to work, study and most of chill. I know I will be back. I always have a great time at City and State.

    Mango Sticky Rice Latte

    Check out City & State for a classic cappuccino or whatever specialty drink that strikes your fancy on your next coffee run! I promise they will not disappoint. Their cappuccino was strong and aromatic. Chefs kiss. The Mango Sticky Rice latte is not your typical mango and sticky rice--it is neither cloying sweet nor bland. The flavor profile of savory rice condiment sprinkled on top is such a creative novel take to the adored Asian drink. Bravo. I absolutely adore this coffee shop with fervent passion. Their mugs are so cute! Seeing "City & State" or their logo when you've reached the end will put a smile on your face. Don't forget to check the other room and browse through their store. They have both quirky and cute knick knacks, cook books and snacks to pick up on your way out! I couldn't be more pleased with a darling pair of socks and mug on my way out!

    Great coffee shop. I love this place. Great vibes. Great coffee. Plenty of parking in their lot. My friend was looking for breakfast food and they only have pastries for sale.

    Ilene H.

    OMG!! Please come and support a great store. The selection of gift ideas is endless here. My friend purchased some cute little kitchen items and candles. The lady behind the counter was so nice.

    All manner of baked goods. Cronuts!
    Donna J.

    Service is always quick and efficient, the vibe is great for working on solo projects, collaborating, or catching up. There is a ton of seating options and natural light. I love this place! Oh and did I mention it's steps away from one of the coolest parts of Memphis - Broad Avenue! Come get caffeinated and try one of their yummy baked goods, you won't be disappointed.

    Ok so the blueberry muffin was good but there was no real lemon taste but that is not why the stars are lost. I tried to order an iced caramel mocha and the barista said they can only do one or the other. I said so you can't ring me up for one and add the syrup and charge me for it.. and she just looked at me like it was impossible. Not helpful or even like no problem we can do that for you. I mean you have what it takes soooo.. charge me a buck and move on? What also nixed it was my friend asked if we can get the coffees to go but the food to stay and eat. Well as you can see mine was in a glass cup. I looked and said do we get to take these to go and she just stared and I said don worry about it. Also if you are going to have a puppy watering station... change the water. Also the coffee flavor was just ok. Kinda muddy and sour.

Crazy Beautiful used to be located on Walker Avenue by the University of Memphis, but has recently moved on over to midtown...and I couldn't be happier about it due to its new prime location...even though they are no longer literally down the street from me (sad face). For starters, the new store is gorgeous! And right in the heart of Memphis...Overton Square. They still have the same phenomenal clothes that they have always had...in addition to shoes, purses, and accessories. Oh, and I was never a boot girl until I saw their boots. Now I know how to rock them. Come to think of it, I didn't know how to rock a lot of things before I discovered this store. That is part of their charm. They dress you and your body type. I get to wear so many things I never thought I could pull off because they style you. And we don't really have stylists in Memphis. So go play "dress up" with them. The prices are incredibly reasonable and the staff couldn't be nicer. No exaggeration, I think 50% of my closet is Crazy Beautiful. Adore them.

I picked up some Lucky Brand shorts and polos that were about 60% the cost at Lucky. They are quite nice really. The feel of good clothing is something I have grown to admire. They were still around $50 each for the shirts, but much less than retail. I also got a nice $400 sports coat for $195. Score. I'll have it altered and it will look like $1,000,000.00! The money exchange was even good. I had a nice young lady named Luna. She has cool face piercings. I thought Luna did a great job, especially since she laughed at my jokes!!
