    I spent some time at Dr. Bean's Coffee & Tea, and it reminded me why I love local coffee shops. It's the perfect place to get a little work done, read a good book, journal, or have a meaningful conversation with a friend.

    Service was great, the baristas were all kind and drinks were being served quickly. I started with a drip dark roast that I drank while I read a book. It was flavorful and not acidic. I got a refill of light roast and took it to go, it was also delicious. The music was nice with a mix of coffee house classics and popular hits like Bad Bunny. Not too loud and I was able to focus on reading. The only downside is that the rim of my cup absorbed the coffee and began to drip past the lid as I walked home. Not a big deal but if you are taking it to go and wearing white, watch out lol

    A cold December morning in Memphis (a native Chicagoan would have called it brisk), sent me on a search for a coffee that would make me miss my wife and newborn son a little less; it would not just perk me up, but also provide the warmth I was longing for from my better half and put a smile on my financial advisors face. As I walked away from a place where dreams were assassinated, I found myself on a street less than ordinary. The establishment I was in search of would have been missed if it wasn't for my GPS yelling at me that I had arrived. The only sign was on the sidewalk and could easily be missed if a car were strategically parked in front of it. The storefront was unassuming and I thought I was in the wrong place, but when I opened the door, I noticed the counter inside a large clothing boutique. Her smile and greeting started to fight the cold that wanted to stick to me. Sadie (I hope it was the common spelling) was her name. I looked over the menu on the counter, which she proudly said she creates herself and wanted to order everything, but I asked for something that would make me feel...Mmmm, and I hugged myself. A couple questions and suggestions later I decided on the 'Campfire'. It checked all the boxes. Why would anyone choose Novadollars over this place? Sadie was like someone you would read about in a magical fiction, mixing just the right amount of warmth, care, and kindness into something that was sold as coffee. Anyone can make coffee, but not every coffee can make an experience.

    Hot vanilla oat latte

    Cute shop with good vibes and music. Quick service from the friendly baristas with lots of specialty latte options. Bailea's the best!

    Great space, great flavorful coffee, and great customer service. Had one of their new specialty drinks (came with a biscoff coffee) was delicious and packed a punch. Loved the space, all the plants, cozy furniture, and inside a creative-art space it's such a vibe. Will forsure be back to see what is one the specialty menu this month.

    Amazing macadamia nut cappuccino

    Could this be the BEST COFFEE in Memphis? Or am I just enamored with the hardware behind the counter? Disclaimer: I LOVE MANY LOCAL COFFEE SHOPS IN MEMPHIS! They all offer different wonderful things. But Dr Bean's might have the smoothest coffee I've consistently enjoyed in this city. That's about it. Don't come here for a big breakfast or lunch menu. Don't come here for a wide variety of fresh pastries or donuts. Come here for THE COFFEE! Come to sit & enjoy a wonderful cup of coffee while you chat with friends, relax on the couch, type away on your device or browse a variety of local boutiques with unique art, accessories, clothing, etc. But you should come & give it a try.

    Definitely a unique setting as the coffeeshop shares the floor with a another store that sales gifts, artwork and home decor, and a hair salon on the second floor. Their coffees & teas are very good, however they serve them lukewarm, which for me is a major turnoff when it comes to hot beverages. I tried an Earl Grey, made with loose tea leafs, very good, but not nearly as hot as it should be. The same can be said of their latte. Great potential, they just need some fine tuning.

    Two of the best cups of coffee we had in Memphis and it's right in the middle of a cute little shop to browse around while you wait.

    Driving from Oklahoma City to Maryland sounds absolutely insane (because it kind of is), so when we…read morefound ourselves passing through Memphis around lunchtime, I turned to my trusted Yelp experts to help us find a local gem. Sunrise Memphis did not disappoint. We stopped in around 12:30 p.m. on a Wednesday and didn't experience any crowds or much of a lunch rush. That being said, after eating here, I completely understand why people mention waiting hours on weekends. The ordering process is simple: walk up to the counter, place your order, grab a number, and seat yourself. I appreciated that they offer both breakfast and lunch all day because it meant we didn't have to choose between the two. I ordered the chicken tenders with tater tots and an Arnold Palmer. Everything was fresh, hot, and exactly the kind of comfort food you crave in the middle of a long road trip. Kyler ordered the Kitchen Sink, which came with eggs, bacon, hash browns, grits, and a biscuit. He asked if he could swap the cheesy grits and biscuit for biscuits and gravy, and they ended up bringing him everything anyway! It was a massive meal, but absolutely delicious. Beyond the food, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I also loved the fun, eclectic atmosphere. The colorful Memphis touches throughout the restaurant gave it so much personality, and there was even a bar area that made me think this would be an absolute blast for brunch with friends. Sunrise Memphis ended up being one of our favorite surprises of the entire drive. If you're passing through town, do yourself a favor and stop here.

A step inside at the same time the counter guy hollered back to let the cooks know a graduation was about to begin so "expect to be busy soon" confirmed that fact! You order at the counter and are given a number for your table and your food is delivered with a smile and some casual southern hospitality banter. This place is quirky with its decor but on point with the food. Get the bacon! Always get the bacon! I'm still dreaming about it! Be warned! We were told during busy times, the line stretches around the building for a steady 8hrs at a time! May the timing of your visit ever be in your favor!

We asked the concierge and she suggested two options of coffee shop and chess club. My granddaughter decided on chess club. When you first walked in the door, it's a nice cozy, rustic floor, wooden floor, and nice artifacts everywhere and the tables were amazing cause they were designed for chess players. There were some nice sitting comfort chairs and everything looked very historic like the Memphis area. They had an array of sandwiches and salads and pizza and coffees and desserts with the cookies and the brownies. If you just want to curl up and read a good book and have a snack, this is the best place. The service was fantastic. They were very accommodating and very patient with our incisions with all the fantastic choices they provided. Well, I ordered the delicious chicken sandwich and my granddaughter ordered the Smashburger. She ate that burger so fast I was still working on the lettuce. LOL the food was delicious. She ordered a brownie, and I had a chocolate chip cookie and they tasted homemade. She would barely give me a piece of her brownie to taste. So if you're looking for a very good relaxing, caring, engaging, aesthetically, pleasing, and great customer service. Even if you're not eating and you just wanna play chess or cards or any of the other games or books that they had available. Just come take a break and enjoy. I will be back when I'm in Memphis again.
