Boycott Coffee — Restaurant in Memphis

I played out on Beale Street late one night, and I awoke to check out of my hotel and desired some coffee to take with me on the road. In my morning research, I found several options within walking distance, and decided that if there was a coffee place with 4.9 stars, and a name like "Boycott Coffee", I would have to check them out.

After the 15 minute stroll I arrived to a cute spot across from the YMCA, which would have been nice if I had decided to drive since there seemed to be plenty of parking (one of my main concerns when making my decision to walk). The conversation with the ladies at the counter was pleasant and friendly, the atmosphere was good for a quiet morning coffee. Unfortunately, I was disappointed that there wasn't normal milk since that is how I prefer my lattes, with whole milk or a breve (w/ half&half). I didn't catch it in my research, admittedly brief, nor does it show up when I tried to look for any mention of it on Google Reviews. If I had driven, I probably would not have ordered a drink and instead gone to another coffee shop near-by, however since I committed a full half-hour of walking I begrudingly ordered a latte with oatmilk and sulked back to the hotel to start on my journey out of Memphis. I did not like my oatmilk latte and I blame the oatmilk, where it's hard to take the oatmilk out of a latte after it's made.

I'm not going back to Memphis anytime soon, but if I did, I would take my business somewhere that can make a latte like I like it. In conclusion, if you like the Vegan styles of espresso, then this place might be good for you. It is not a good option for me.

I would have preferred that the lack of options for non-vegans be more visible so I could have made a better decision. When I travel, one of my favorite things to do is to visit small, local, non-"bucks" coffee shops, and regretfully, it's the first time I felt hoodwinked by Google Maps and...

I was in Memphis for the weekend for a wedding. We were walking down the road, actually intending to go to a different coffee shop, but we saw through the window that Boycott had pour overs, so we stopped! I am a Pour-over Princess 🤓👸🏻👑. I have traveled a lot and love coffee, and these Gesha beans resulted in literally the best coffee I’ve had in this country. I immediately smiled from ear to ear upon first sip. I had a great chat with the barista. I was hoping to come by on Sunday to buy beans, but sadly Boycott was closed. I regret not buying beans on Saturday, as it truly was love at first sip. I also LllLlOOOooVVVVvvVeeEeEe the mission at Boycott—the food industry in general does not pay those who do most of the labor well and I wish people understood that paying more money for good and healthy food/drink (the stuff that sustains our very existence!) is ok and absolutely necessary. I will forever dream of those Gesha beans....

The coffee was the best cup of coffee I've ever had. Smooth and sweet, yet complex and magical.

Went here on a Saturday when the owner of 'Rigby Roastery' showcases his coffees. He is also there on Tuesdays and I believe Wednesdays where he serves 'Boycott Coffees' products. Rigby has placed 1st in international roasting competitions, which you can tell by his skill in brewing.

This is a fully vegan coffee shop that specializes in pour over coffee and the experience that it provides. The experience was top notch and super enjoyable.

Rigby makes the pour over coffee for you and allows you to smell the coffee at multiple steps of the brewing process. You can tell he is passionate about coffee as he explains the roasting process and origins of the coffee he is serving. While drinking he goes over flavor notes and tells stories about the coffee.

Such a cool experience if you are looking for a specialized and deep look into the...
