We always get 3 different lattes (seasonal plus most ordered in iced or hot variants). We heavily rely on the barista to help us make a decision.
We engage with the barista to understand the syrups and of course take his/her recommendation on the drinks.
I do feel the barista wasn't willing to engage in conversation about the coffee she was about to serve...and I understand, some folks are introverts, but if a customer asks for a recommendation or "what's popular on your menu" or "which seasonal drink do you recommend", I'd appreciate small talk.
We ordered 2 hot and one cold latte...and neither of us were able to tell which hot latte was what. The syrup/flavor was missing. Felt like we were drinking steamed milk. The iced coffee was great. So credit where credit is due.
The decor, seating and space is on point. Great atmosphere to work or just enjoy a coffee. There was a decent amount of parking spots and a ton of seating inside.
Overall, I wish we had slightly better service and drinks. This place has the potential to be a very highly recommended spot.

I buy the Guatemala beans and they are wonderful with amazing flavor.

Cozy little coffeeshop and roaster with a relaxed aesthetic. Shop has a variety of home brew tools and merch available for sale if you are so inclined. The roaster is on full display behind plexiglass with bar height seating around it so you can enjoy your coffee and watch the roasting during your visit. Had a cortado and the espresso on grind for the day was an ethiopian and columbian blend. Turned out to be a decent cortado, but the blend just didn’t do it for me in terms of contrast with the milk. Will have to visit again the next time I’m in the area and try a different varietal.

Up, Up & Away!
We adore our neighbors at Sway! We grab a coffee here nearly every day and brew our own with their beans when they are closed. They are a brilliant addition to the neighborhood, the smell of beans roasting in an inviting place to grab a beverage and a McLain’s bakery treat.

Amazing coffee, truly my favorite, wonderful atmosphere and sweet sweet owners !
One of my favorite cafe’s. The staff is particularly amazing—big shout out to Carly for being the kindest light in this dark, cruel world. Also, the veggie quiche

It was icey that day. warm cup of coffee more than made up for it.
First time coming here and we loved it! My husband said his latte was the best by far out of all the other places we have tried in around town. My caramel latte was so yumm as well. . We will definitely come back again.

Sway Coffee is my favorite KC coffee shop!! How is it possible that Sway has the best tasting coffee, nicest baristas, and yet it is the least expensive??! Great coffee and lower cost are not two things that go hand-in-hand but they do at Sway, and it has me coming back for more and more! Sway's sister store is Mclains Bakery, so they also offer a limited selection of Mclains baked goods which are incredible (cinnamon roll and sausage quiche are my favorites). Drop in, you won't be disappointed!

This place is my obsession. I love the atmosphere and coffee. Everyone is awesome and they bus the tables for you. They have good WiFi and I’ve taken many a meeting from here with a cortado. Also ham and cheese croissant is so good. Quiche is amazing.
