Before you go inside Java Cabana, stop and look at the window for a few minutes. Drop a few coins in the Elvis Impersonator's shrine to see what happens. After you have soaked in the memorabilia and hodge-podge collections, go inside for an experience right out of the beatnik era of the '50s and ‘60s. If you are lucky, you will be there for one of the frequent poetry readings by local writers, or some retro music played on acoustic guitar. Oh, yes—the coffee's pretty good,too. No alcoholic beverages served.
Cxffeeblack is a community-oriented, education-based coffee company founded in 2019 by husband-and-wife Bartholomew Jones and Renata Henderson. Based in Memphis, TN, Cxffeeblack is a social enterprise dedicated to returning coffee to its African roots while helping build a more equitable Black future. The company is a trailblazer in specialty coffee, having established the world’s first entirely all-Black coffee supply chain—connecting producers in Ethiopia directly to roasting and community impact in Memphis. Cxffeeblack’s mission extends far beyond the cup. Its work is carried out through three core initiatives: Cxffeeblac HQ, a coffee education center and cultural hub in Memphis; the Barista Exchange Program, which connects African and African-American baristas through international cultural exchange; and the Specialist-in-Training Program, which provides hands-on specialty coffee training and career development for local community members. Nationally and globally recognized, Cxffeeblack won the Sprudge Media Network’s Sprudgie Award for Best Film in Coffee in 2023 for its documentary Cxffeeblack to Africa, and was later honored as Global Notable Roaster of the Year and Innovator of the Year by the Coffee Coalition for Racial Equity. Cxffeeblack has been featured in Vice, NPR, Black Enterprise, Forbes, Essence, and Bon Appétit. Guests should visit Cxffeeblack for exceptional coffee, meaningful storytelling, and a space rooted in culture, education, and community.
