50 Best Cafes near Leawood

“The Roasterie Cafe is a Kansas City staple. The coffee and espresso made right in front of you is a refreshing change of pace from the typical Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts options. They also had an assortment of fresh bakery items, ranging from donuts to pastries.
Will definitely be back!“

“Love the vibe and the coffee! Highly recommend.“

“Great service! 2nd trip in this morning after a Drs appointment. Going to have coffee and kill time. Ordered small coffee and gentleman said it was on the house. Made my day!“

“I remember hearing about this place years ago but never went. It popped up on my FYP on TikTok so I decided to give it a try. My family and I drove down on a Saturday around 12:30. Not sure where it was exactly, we ended up driving by it and having to turn around. There is only street parking available so we parked 1/2 a block up and walked down. We weren’t the only ones who did. The steady flow of people coming in and out was a lot. Good for business. They only accept cash, which is good to know beforehand. We ordered the famous pork tenderloin, a cheeseburger and fries. Everything is alacarte. Which is also good to know beforehand.
The tenderloin had good flavor but was fried very hard. My husband enjoyed his but said it was too spicy, he had the hot sauce. Overall, it was good. Glad we finally tried it.“

“Fantastic food and great atmosphere! Worth our tripfrom DFW!“

“Great service! DELICIOUS LATTES! And always have the most beautiful flowers.“

“Some of the kindest people you'll ever meet in an incredibly comfortable and fun space. The baristas are extremely kind and very well-trained. I've never had a bad coffee here, and the seasonal drinks are always spectacular. The atmosphere is filled with plants and is very calming. You can sit indoors or outdoors, and enjoy the bounds of plants and fresh air!“

“I didn't know what to expect coming here but it was great. I learned to play Reign of Cthulhu and Exploding Kittens while having the best loaded nachos.“

“Amazing food and service!“

“We looooove the Inspired Play Cafe! My daughter is only 9 months & she had so much room to crawl around and explore. We bought the membership on the first day & will be making the 45 minute drive to come & play as much as we can each week!“

“Stopped here for breakfast before leaving KC - so worth it! The cinnamon roll, gooey butter cake, and breakfast hash were delicious! This place was highly recommended and I can see why. The hot mocha latte I got was great too! The place was packed and busy but they weee FAST on getting food and drinks out.“

“The Lunch Box is a bodega with fast, friendly service and good food. I was there at lunch time and ordered onion rings and turkey club sandwich. The onion rings were homemade and would have been excellent but they were over-fried and tasted a bit burnt. The turkey club was excellent with lots of smoked turkey covered in bacon and cheese, served on toast with mayo, lettece and tomato. I will be back!“

“The name threw us off a bit. I thought it was a like a tea version of starbucks. The tea is really good. My Daughter is raving about the mint lemonade. Their food, is incredible. Best butter chicken I have ever had. Even their american offerings like chicken tenders and fries are absolutely perfect. My family of 6 went out there and tried a little bit of everything on the menu. I don't know how they can have such an expansive menu, yet nail every dish. 10/10“

Dan and Robin were not just working behind the bar but they were all over the place helping us with anything we needed. They were incredibly personable all night. Spokes is a top notch space with amazing coffee and food. I can’t wait to go back!“

“My favorite boba tea place- and now they’ve opened a store at Shawnee?! I’m gonna go broke 😭🧋❤️ love the comfy atmosphere and kind staff 👍“

“Simply one of my favorite coffee shops to get some work done or read. The staff is always so kind, helpful and patient and the atmosphere relaxing.
Parking can sometimes be tricky depending on what time you go. I usually park behind the shop in the parking lot but you might have to park further by Consentino’s.“

“We had a great time at Donutology in Westport! Delicious, fresh, choose-your-own-toppings, kid-friendly. Hardworking staff, friendly, great atmosphere. Will be back!“

“Best Mexican restaurant! Not only is the food absolutely amazing, but the family that runs it is incredible—friendly, kind, and trustworthy. I accidentally forgot my purse there, and they kept it safe for two days until I was able to return. Highly recommend!“

“My daughter and I just visited last Friday! It was wonderful! We had some of the best interactions with all of the staff. I could’ve stayed in the Egyptian exhibit all day!“

“I ordered a scamble bowl to-go, & let me tell you: this was one of the best to-go breakfast order's I've ever had. The ingredients were fresh, layers of flavor & clean ingredients. I appreciate the chef & will be coming here more often! 10/10“

“Excellent!“

“Great shakes and teas! Destiny is so great with helping you find the yummiest items on the menu (there’s a ton!) and she’s always encouraging and a positive part of my day when I visit Ad Astra! 💚“

“Hagámoslo simple… tengo que regresar a este sitio!!…“

“I have breakfast here most Wednesdays with friends from church. There are usually 12 or more of us and Gabriella is often our waitress. She is always pleasant, attentive, and can multi-task (a necessary skill with our group). Thank you, Gabby. The food is great and the price is very reasonable. I highly recommend Ranch Cafe in Grandview, MO.“

“I’ve heard of Equal Minded in the past, but recently a friend hosted an event there and it was great! The space was easy to set up in, the coffee and snacks were great & the customer service. Since then, if I am in the area and I need to get work done, it’s becoming more of a place to pop into. The more I get to know about what they offer and the small businesses they support, the more I enjoy becoming a customer there. I also really like that they have some Sugar Free options & I really like their Honey Lavender Matcha too!“

Wheelchair accessibility: Una segura y larga rampa, a la que solo le agragaria una cortos descansos intermedios para quienes esperan en sus sillas de ruedas, no estén cuesta abajo todo el tiempo.“

“Food is delicious. I love that they don't over salt anything, especially the hash browns. If I want pepper and salt on them I will salt .y own. This way I decide on if I want them salty or not.“

“Spokes was a lifesaver during my recent trip to Kansas City. Eric and the rest of the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.The cafe itself is an absolute gem. It has a comfortable, inviting atmosphere that gave me the perfect place to hang out while I waited on my hotel room to be ready. Whether you choose a cozy armchair or a spot at a spacious table, there's a perfect place to relax and get some work done.But the true stars of the show were the coffee and the food. My Americano was rich, flavorful, and brewed to perfection. Exactly what I needed to kickstart my day. And let's not forget the incredible club sandwich!By the time I was ready to check into my hotel, I felt refreshed, productive, and most importantly, welcomed. If you find yourself downtown Kansas City, do yourself a favor and head to Spokes. You won't be disappointed!“

“I misread the menu item “seasonal SIGNATURE LATTE” and asked for a turtle latte. In my defense, “-TURE LATTE” looked like turtle and I was tired. They still made a turtle latte, but the signature part was a nice touch. This beautiful foamy artwork was hidden under the coffee lid. Definitely coming back. 😂 Good coffee too.“

“Thank you Rachel for helping me pick a drink and introducing me to The Roasterie!

I loved the crunched for time X chai latte you helped me pick out. Also got hazelnut bear claw that was super chocolatey and buttery.

Vibes of this location were great too. Lots of folks working on laptops and studying. Parking was free and adjacent.“

“Such an awesome place at KCAI - great food, great service, can't be beat!“

“the food was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“FANTASTIC MUSEUM! My daughter and I are both history nuts and love this place! The staff members are very knowledgeable and are so sweet! It was my first trip and I could’ve spent 2 or 3 days in here and still wouldn’t have viewed everything. The sweetest man stopped us as we were exiting and asked us if we saw the letter of the luckiest human ever. Of course we didn’t, we had overlooked it. He took us back in and showed us a letter of a soldier who entered and exited service on the same day…just hours apart. This gentleman loved his job and it showed! We will be back, time and time again!“

“So many coffee options to choose from. I had a breakfast sandwich with Gluten Free break. Was very hot and fresh. Waited maybe 5 mins. Great service. I told them I had not been here before and they gave me great recommendations. Will definitely come back!“

“We love PT’s Coffee. After the manufacturer discontinued the espresso beans I had used for years, I struggled to find a replacement. I eventually tried PT’s Coffee ...ordered as a latte, my usual drink...at one of their stores and really enjoyed the robust flavor of the Flying Monkey espresso blend.

I started buying the beans around 2021–2022 at my local Whole Foods, where a 12 oz. bag cost $11.79 ($0.98/oz.). It was a great deal. However, by about 2023, the beans became increasingly hard to find at Whole Foods. So I began going to the PT’s store at Power & Light to purchase them instead. I noticed the bags sold at PT’s locations are 2 oz. smaller and cost over $4 more per bag. Naturally, I thought: let me order in bulk online - surely that’s cheaper. But after visiting the website and subscribing, I found that the opposite was true. While the subscription saves me a few dollars, the price per ounce is still higher than what I paid at Whole Foods. Here's the math:

12 oz. bag at Whole Foods: $11.79 ($0.98/oz.)
32 oz. bag online: $44.25 ($1.38/oz.)
32 oz. bag with subscription discount: $39.83 ($1.24/oz.)

After realizing this, I reached out to PT’s directly via their website. They responded quickly and explained that they transitioned from 12 oz. to 10 oz. bags to align with their sister company, Bird Rock Coffee, and to match the size preferences of several distribution partners. They also noted that this change came with their first per-ounce price increase since 2017, and that the Whole Foods pricing was a lingering anomaly. I really appreciated their transparency and honesty...it made me want to keep doing business with them.

We no longer live in Kansas City, but I now subscribe to receive a 5 lb. bag (about every 6–8 weeks) for $89.00. The best part is that the beans are roasted the day before they’re shipped, which was never the case with the beans I bought at Whole Foods.
I only hope that any potential tariffs aren’t passed on to the customer. I’m very happy with the product and the current price point. There’s not much room for the price to increase unless there’s a corresponding increase in quality or added value.“

“Started our experience at the Crossroads’ Percheron Rooftop Bar and ended it at XR. The atmosphere was the ultimate standout, but the food and service were still good! I ordered the Shroomer Boomer, and the goat cheese herb mix on that is yum! The dining room filled up to near capacity despite it being a weeknight, and we even had a very chill celebrity sighting. A very cool spot to feel metropolitan for a day! Only cons were the pebble ice that came in my cocktail and that parking can be somewhat limited if you’re not a hotel guest.“

“I think research is decent but I will say the charge nurse Lauren is rude and hostile ! Slamming doors in visitors faces and talking to visitors extremely rude. 0/10 I don’t recommend her !“

“we had a great experience I'll definitely be back!“
