    Dine in coffee mug
    Robert K.

    This was a nice but overly modern coffee shop. The coffee itself was not bad. They just use a light roast. It was a very bright taste, not the deep notes I usually look for but that's my preference. The food options were limited. Was this better or worse than Starbucks? I would call it a draw. A fine choice if you're in the area but not one I would go out of my way to try

    Great service. Outstanding Americano. Cozy lighting. Comfortable seats. Tasty pastries. Their roasts don't taste burnt. Absolutely nothing like the Green Giant. Love coming out to enjoy a moment with some delicious coffee.

    Peppermint White Mocha With Oatmilk (made with regular milk and can barely taste the peppermint)

    I love working out of coffee shops and recently started going to Congregation Coffee as an alternative to Jojo's Espresso, which can get pretty crowded. Congregation has plenty of seating and the bright lighting creates a nice, cozy atmosphere. The staff are super friendly and helpful which's nice. I've only tried their food once and it was pretty good. However, I'm not a huge fan of their coffee. I've tried several lattes, but they're always too sweet for my taste. And I always request oat milk but I've been given regular milk a few times. I can taste the difference and my lactose intolerance confirms it. Overall, it's a nice spot to chill or get work done. I still enjoy coming here but I just wish their coffee were better.

    Congregation is a very unique coffee stop with many great options, hot or cold. The staff were very friendly and there were several options for food if you need a protein bite while you enjoy your coffee. The only thing I would change is their hours are rather short, especially for the area of town that remains very active long after they close.

    Like the vibes of the place, staff was friendly, and my ice patter was bomb! Specifically I got the white choc pumpkin latte. Would go back next time I'm in Memphis! I did need to request espresso to be added.

    Congregation coffee, also known as "Congo", by the locals is a small coffee shop located in Germantown. The inside is cute with a bustling shop. Many people talking and studying while enjoying some coffee. I got a vanilla iced latte and my friend got a bacon egg and cheese. The coffee was good but costed nearly 8 dollars and my friend didn't have any bacon on his bacon egg and cheese sandwich. Overall the food and drinks are good but the price and service is a bit disappointing.

    The service that I recently received here during a weekday morning was personable, competent, and friendly. They offered of variety of styles of coffee; I opted for a large cup of half cold brew and half regular hot coffee, so as not to burn my mouth in my attempt to get myself caffeinated asap. The flavor of their coffee beans was unique and pleasant. The coffee had a slight sweet flavor to it. I always take my coffee black, so this was interesting to me. They offered sweets from a local bakery, which I didn't sample. The lady at the coffee counter said that they might offer savory foods in the near future, which I am looking forward to. The interior of the shop was spacious and open. Much thought was put into its pleasing design. I liked that they have a customer loyalty program. I've posted their business hours within the Tips section. I plan on returning soon!

    Beautiful coffee shop with plenty of space to sit and study. I had the BYO breakfast sandwich and it was very good. The baristas were very kind. I tried the cranberry white mocha and it was fairly sweet (for me) but delicious. Would love to come back and try their honey cinnamon latte!

    Iced vanilla latte & breakfast sandwich

    I tried the iced vanilla latte and the breakfast sandwich with turkey bacon. The sandwich was decent but the coffee was amazing! Both the food and coffee were prepared really fast. I went on a Saturday morning and they had live music.

    TLDR: looks way better than it is. Here's why: THE DRINKS I ordered oat milk cappuccinos after asking if the oat milk they use foams up properly. The cashier told me it would work, so I kept my order instead of changing it to something easier. Big mistake. The cappuccinos came out as sad lattes with the LOOSEST foam on top. I should have known better, since both people working were bored-looking high school girls. I don't know about you, but I need my barista to look like they have a BFA or purple hair or literally any kind of life experience. THE PRICES This is on me for not really paying attention or asking the right questions while ordering. 1) The drinks were a little over $5 for the HUGE portion, albeit still a terrible value for the price since they were not properly made. I wasn't expecting to be drowned in my supersized cappuccino. 2) I had also purchased two gluten-free blueberries muffins out of the case near the register. After leaving, I thought to myself, "did I just pay almost $30 for two coffees and two muffins?" After looking at the receipt, I knew why. The two very small muffins were $6.50 each!! Seems a bit excessive to me. If I go back, I'll have to order something simple I know one of the children working there can make. And I definitely won't be paying almost seven dollars for a tiny muffin again!

    My Ex Iced White Mocha

    The lovely ladies at the register were so kind and welcoming. The service was impeccable and my drink was quick to be made. I ordered an Iced White Mocha, while great, it could have used a better stir. The feel of the place was cozy with the smell of coffee filling the air. It is a great place to work and meet new people. I would recommend this place to others!

    Iced decaf salted Carmel latte

    I was looking for a coffee shop before I went to work this morning. I love the fact that unlike Starbucks they offer more sugar-free variety other than vanilla. The service was great. They offer a rewards program and the place is beautiful. I talked to a lady while I was waiting on my coffee and she said the whole area used to be a church so they've tried to keep up the theme. It's absolutely beautiful in the coffee shop. The coffee tasted amazing. Try this place. You will absolutely not regret it.

    London Fogs are the best! Saturday cronuts are amazing. I really love the latte art on the drinks. The baristas are nice and work fast I love their service, Leeanna and Karli are the best.

    This was my third visit to JoJo's Coffee, and I'm officially hooked! Friends kept raving about how…read morefantastic it is, and after trying it out, I totally get why. The ambiance is so inviting and cozy--warm lighting, comfortable seating, just the perfect local coffee shop vibe that makes you want to linger. Hands down, the best combo here is their delicious coffee paired with the breakfast burrito. The coffee is rich and perfectly brewed (whether hot or iced), and that burrito? Packed with flavor, hearty, and hits the spot every time. It's become my favorite breakfast treat in the area. The staff are always super nice, polite, and welcoming--genuine smiles even when it's busy (which it always is, and that's a great sign for a local business!). As someone who's a huge supporter of local spots, I'm thrilled to have a gem like JoJo's nearby. Keep doing what you're doing--you've earned a regular! Highly recommend stopping by--you won't be disappointed. 5 stars all the way!

    Stopped by for a cup of joe today. Retired life is sweet! Ordered a drip coffee and a chocolate…read morepeanut butter twist. Both were very good and coffee was smooth. Service was great. Took a little bit of time to get my cup of drip coffee. Gal was kind of busy but I did receive it. My chocolate peanut butter twist hit the spot, i wanted a light snack and this fit the bill. There is always a cool vibe at this coffee shop. It is clean and inviting. So glad they invested in the larger space. The owners know how to make the shop peaceful and tranquil. I love coming here to grab food and coffee. Great place to work and check emails. The outside patio areas are nice too. It is a staple in my local coffee rotations to check out. I will return soon. Support LOCAL Memphis businesses!!
