Bluff City Coffee & Bakery Cooper Young: A Memorable Coffee Experience in Memphis

The softest and most enjoyable "Everything" bagel I've ever had. The staff was very personable, the atmosphere is lovely, and the selection of baked goods did not disappoint. Bonus points for offering a nice variety of breakfast proteins.

Very kind staff! No wi-fi but I was able to pull my hotspot out and get a couple of hours of work done comfortably. Good pop tarts!

Came here to grab some coffee and a cookie with my wife before heading to the zoo with our sons. She got an iced vanilla latte, I got an Americano, and we got a Strawberry Gooey Cookie. We hardly got to Cooper/Union before she finished her latte and said “That was incredible.” My Americano was great and the cookie was out of this world!

The atmosphere does not have what I'd call the normal coffee shop vibe. The chai was really good and the breakfast sandwich was delicious and more food than I was expecting. The woman who took the order and prepared the food and drink was really friendly and enjoyed the little conversation we had.

I had the pleasure of visiting Memphis, and stopped by this cafe several times and absolutely loved it! The coffee and pastries are outstanding! I tried a few pastries, but my favs were the Lemon Gooey Cookie and the Chocolate Brownie. Dense, sweet, and flavorful—these pair very well with a black coffee (imo). In addition to the tasty treats—the customer service was great as well. Shout out to Adah for being so friendly and welcoming—you made my day. I highly recommend checking out this cafe for a pick-me-up!

An excellent little place for breakfast and coffee. Their breakfast sandwiches are excellent. I had a sausage egg and cheese on a biscuit, and it was lovely. Their coffee is great too, and there are several tables with seating inside and out.

I visited on a Saturday about 11 am, and Bluff City was not crowded at all. I was greeted cheerfully by a worker who was not even serving me, and she rebated that they had been quite stressfully busy that morning. I ordered a mocha and it was quite good. I tend to view a mocha as coffee with chocolate, but my drink was better described as chocolate with a little coffee. It was smooth and creamy, quite a good drink, just missing the edge of coffee I was expecting. Perhaps if I'd ordered a smaller size? Next time I'll know to ask for an extra shot of espresso. The pastry case had not been depleted, so I ordered a brownie. I was offered to have it warmed, as it came from a refrigerated case. I declined, and ate it cold. The edges were extra dense and the center was deliciously creamy. There was just a hint of saltiness, and that added a sublime element to the eating experience. They're open 6:30 to 1 every day except Sunday, when they open at 8. Lunch menu starts at 10:30. Great anchor shop for Cooper and Young streets.

I stopped in yesterday to check this place out since I was in the area for the first time. I walked in & was greeted by an amazing lady who explained what they had with joy. Despite everything looking great and clean, I decided not to get anything because I didn't really need anything, was just curious, and she didn't try to pressure me just told me to ask any questions & I really appreciated it!
