City & State

good coffee in memphis doesn't require a pilgrimage to midtown, though broad avenue has quietly become one of the more interesting stretches in the city. city & state sits at 2625 broad, in a neighborhood that rewards people who actually walk it rather than drive through. the shop has built a reputation that holds up, locals keep coming back, and that kind of loyalty doesn't stick around without reason. if you're spending a morning on this end of town, this is where you want to anchor it. the menu isn't trying to overwhelm you, which is the right call. come for the latte on a weekday morning when broad avenue is still unhurried and the light is doing something worth sitting near a window for.
