Let me tell you what, I love coffee. In fact, I begin everyday with a cup of it. Now I do very much enjoy both hot and iced, but each has its place for me depending on the time of the day. Honestly, it’s not entirely uncommon for me to have coffee two or three times daily! Yes, it’s safe to say I’m addicted to coffee (and by default, caffeine).
So, when Meme’s Coffee Shop invited me to showcase them in one of my Cutesville Connections posts, I leapt at the opportunity to do so! It’s my favorite coffee spot in town and I’m already a regular as I go about once a week! I’d honestly been wanting to spotlight them for a while now, it’s just I’m not always in blog mode. If I don’t enter a place with the intent to blog, then it isn’t at the forefront of my mind, which is why there’s so many deserving places in our amazing city that I have yet to showcase.
Meme’s Coffee Shop, which I just learned I’d been pronouncing wrong this entire time, so let me include this in the event I’m not the only one. Meme’s is not *meems* as in the typically humorous images we see all over social media, but rather *me-me’s,* named after the owner’s grandmother. I’ll readily admit, I’d been butchering that pronunciation since the day they opened. So while I may not always be thinking about my blog, I’m clearly thinking about social media often enough that it influences the way I read.
Anyway, enough about me, let’s get into Meme’s shall we?
The exterior of Meme’s Coffee Shop along Johnson Road. It’s a cute little place that you can’t miss!
Really and truly, I love Meme’s Coffee Shop! I go weekly and very much enjoy the variety of breakfast offering they have. I have yet to go for lunch, but you can bet it’s on my to do list!
Loved the Christmas decorations on display! Really made the place feel merry and bright!
The menu board along the wall left of the ordering counter is super cute and adds to their overall quaint aesthetic.
I love how much natural light flows through this place! There’s four tables like the two you see above, so plenty of room to accommodate you and your small party.
Short on time? Order online! Visit memescoffee.com to build your beverage, select your pickup time, and simply just walk in and grab it to go.
Like I said, I have yet to make it for lunch, but you can bet when I do I’ll be getting that Italian Grinder as a salad – sans the black olives – as it sounds delicious! In fact, it all sounds good! They have delicious flavored iced teas, which would pair perfectly with anything above!
Here’s the menu I’m well acquainted with. I don’t like avocado, so I’ll never know how those first two items are, but if you’re a fan, I’m sure they’re delicious! I can certainly vouch that everything else is! My wife wanted me to draw attention to the Sugar Free syrups as they’re the only kind she can have and she loves that they have a variety to choose from.
They have this cute little cooler with bottled and canned beverages to enjoy as well.
They truly hit a homerun with these seasonal flavors! As you’ll soon see, I’ve tried them all, minus Minty Mocha, which I may or may not get to honestly. The first four though are top notch and I’ve featured each one below…
The Sausage and Egg Croissant (no Cheese for me please) is always delicious and has become my go to breakfast… unless a pastry can draw me away, which they often do. The coffee pictured above is the Apple Dumpling and let me tell you what, I LOVED IT! It was truly the perfect pairing of a cinnamon blend and apple! Apple is my go-to seasonal flavor, so of course I had to make this one the first one I tried for the season and suffice it to say, it didn’t disappoint. 10/10! Highly Recommend! I can’t wait to enjoy another dozen of these in the weeks ahead!
The Cream Cheese Danish was of course delicious, but the Cranberry Creamsicle stole the show that morning! I love cranberries and I love oranges and the combination of the two delivered a one, two punch to my taste buds that just knocked me out in the best way! I could enjoy one of these every single morning! Again, 10/10! Highly Recommend!
Thank you, Joel, for letting me capture the magic of the cold foam blend!
Again with these danishes! This Apple one was delicious and I look forward to pairing it with the Apple Dumpling Latte one day, but on this particular morning, I paired it with the Oh Snap Gingerbread Latte and I’ll be honest, it was just good for me, not great. I would suspect that someone who loves gingerbread would love this, but it’s just an okay flavor for me. Neither love it nor hate it, but I was eager to try this and I’m thankful I did, but I probably wouldn’t return to it given my affinity for the others. 7/10. Would Ultimately Recommend.
Lastly, this drink was the Billie’s Sugar Cookie and maybe because my honest expectations were kind of low, but this one blew me out of the water! I LOVED IT! I don’t like almonds, but I find that I love almond tasting or scented things and this was certainly no exception! It was so smooth and so delicious and yet again, another one I’d happily return to. For sure a 10/10! Highly Recommend!
Something else to note about me, I’m a big fan of birds. I just love them. So seeing the restrooms at Meme’s Coffee Shop decked out in peacock design and decor has always been a big win for me. 10/10. Don’t skip on the restrooms.
Meme’s Coffee Shop now features merchandise! Take a look next time you’re in! They feature some super cute clothing and accessories!
Yes! They have a drive-thru! They’re always super speedy when it comes to preparing your drinks and food, so if you’re not interested in coming inside, then enjoy Meme’s Coffee Shop from the comfort of your vehicle!
Overall, Meme’s Coffee Shop is a not to be missed place in our great city of Cutesville, USA! I’ve been enjoying them for over a year now and look forward to continuing to enjoy them for many years to come! So whether you’ve been once, a dozen times, or not at all, make Meme’s Coffee Shop your go to destination this winter!
