26 Best Coffee Shops in Topeka

“I walked into Circle Coffee for the first time ( all bright eyed and not decaffeinated, and I totally forgot to ask for my coffee decaf ( or what my sister calls sad coffee). By the time I realized, they’d already made my coffee and I was walking out the door— but instead of giving me the “well that’s on you” look, they smiled, told me to gift the original to a coworker ( who now thinks I’m the nicest person alive) and made me a fresh decaf for free. Heroes are baristas apparently. The shop itself is a whole vibe — calm, great lighting and welcoming atmosphere—enough ambiance to trick me into thinking I’m the kind of person who journals daily or could write a novel. Also, do NOT sleep on the strawberry goat cheese danish. It’s seriously delicious. I took one bite and considered writing it into my will. Life changing and I’m probably emotionally attached to it now. This place has great vibes, great people, and even better coffee and pastries. Highly recommend.“

“Cute little cafe with friendly staff and delicious peppermint latte and scones! 😋“

“Skylar is the best! Go Skylar!“

“A Sanctuary of Warmth and Community – Café Quetzal There are places in the world that remind you what it means to belong. Café Quetzal is one of them. Step inside, and the chaos of the outside world fades into the background—replaced by the rich aroma of fresh coffee, the hum of friendly conversation, and the warmth of a space built on inclusivity and connection. The first thing you notice is the sense of welcome. A pride flag waves gently in the window, a symbol of the café’s unwavering commitment to community, acceptance, and love. It’s a space where all are embraced, where laughter spills across tables, and where a simple cup of coffee feels like an act of kindness. Outside, the world is unpredictable—sometimes overwhelming, sometimes absurd, like the shadow of a dinosaur stretching across the pavement. But inside, there is sanctuary. Here, you are met with smiling faces, vibrant art, and the kind of small but significant comforts that make you feel at home. Whether you’re here for a quiet moment of reflection, deep conversation, or just a really good cup of coffee, Café Quetzal delivers on every level. It’s more than a coffee shop. It’s a refuge. A place where warmth, love, and hope are always on the menu.“

“I just really wanted to thank all of the great employees that are there around 6:30 AM Monday through Friday I come through and get the sugar-free Blondie daily. I’m able to get through the line very quickly and always have the best service there not to mention my coffee is consistently good. I noticed when I go to other coffee shops sometimes it tastes different when I order the same thing and I’ve never had that happen at seven brew quickly become my favorite coffee shop in town:)“

“I wish they would bring back the Café Vanilla Frappuccino.. I love this team they are so wonderful, the manager isn’t a robot!!! One was a cow once but that was Halloween lol I usually go through the drive thru on my way to work and it is always such a great start to the day!! I still get the cafe vanilla we just have to build it a little and I hear it’s kinda tricky, so Starbucks let’s put it back on the menu and make a staple again!!“

“One of the things I love about Scooters is their app! I love the rewards and I especially love that in my birthday month I received up to $6 towards the drink of my choice! I think it's a great feature that they give you all month instead of just the day of your birthday. Everyone at the Topeka store (29th & Gage) is sweet and fun and they do have great job!“

“I tried the shop for the first time today. I had forgotten my hearing aides & had to read lips. Their card was down & because I was out of town, they went to a alternate system & really accommodated me well. The Bread & cookies were just really good. The staff was friendly & professional & treated me very well. I was pleased & will go back.“
