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!
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.
Right out the gate I couldn’t wait to try the Black Forest Delight because it took me back to a coffee shop I loved near the Missouri Botanical Garden, Black Forest Kaffee Haus. Hate that they closed. I’ve had the top two (as you’ll soon see), can’t wait to try the second half!
As you know, I love Disney, so any chance to make a Hidden Mickey, I’ll take it! The Bacon, Egg, Croissant (no cheese) was phenomenal as always! A real fan favorite of mine! The flaky crust of the croissant pairs so well with the crispiness of the bacon. Loved both of these drinks! The Strawberry Bliss was light and smooth with the perfect blend of strawberry and white chocolate. Definitely kept things on the mildly sweeter side, which I loved. The Black Forest Delight wasn’t as sweet, but was every bit as smooth. I loved the subtle tartness of the cherry. This is a real fan favorite of mine! Honestly, 10/10 Highly Recommend for both drinks!
The Cranberry Creamsicle is no longer available, but these amazing cream cheese danishes sure are! I alternate between this one & the apple frequently as both are top notch for me!
Thank you, Joel, for letting me capture the magic of the cold foam blend!
The Black Forest Delight is top tier for me! It’s a safe bet I’ll be returning to this one all throughout the season! As long as they keep making it, I’ll keep drinking it!
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!
