11 Best Cafes in Topeka

“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.“

“SoulFire Nutrition has been such a great addition to our community. The atmosphere is welcoming, positive, and uplifting from the moment you walk in. You can tell they genuinely care about helping people create healthier habits and lifestyles — not just serving drinks.

I absolutely love their energy teas and protein shakes. Great flavors, refreshing, and perfect for busy days or a quick pick-me-up.

The energy, encouragement, and sense of community make it a place people actually WANT to come back to. Great service, great people, and a mission that aligns so well with helping others become healthier and stronger.

If you’re looking for healthier options, positive vibes, and a supportive environment, definitely go check them out! 🔥💙“

“I've tried several dishes in here and so far everything AND the service has been great.“

“The Capitol Cafe is very convenient when the Legislature is in session to be able to run down for a snack. They also serve good food options for a quick lunch. The employees are very friendly and provide excellent service with a good selection in the vending machines after hours. Lettuce Feed You is an all around good experience.“

“I've had several dishes from the tacos to the spicy Asian chicken wraps and everything has been extremely delicious. They also have some of the best homemade giant cookies you've ever seen and my pick is the chocolate chip. And I really like the fact that everything is made in-house and is fresh. Their pricing is very competitive for the product they're serving and the staff is friendly. Great place to stop in if you're tired of the big food chains.“

“I recommend Townsite Topeka; they know what they are doing“

“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.“

“Great Sandwiches,.coffee, prices, and service. We will go there again!“

“Driving through the tiny little town of Lyndon, Kansas, I read across the most adorable bistro and Coffey shop. The panini was scrumptious, the employees customer service , exemplary and decorated so, so cute and welcoming. Did I mention the delicious smells. Only drawback is I don’t live closer!“

“My review is really specifically about one of the employees, Zelesia (sp?). She is consistently friendly, helpful, and kind. Watching her is basically a master class on customer service. Are you a customer service training manager? VP of customer experience? CCO? Drop in and observe Zelesia. She represents your vision for service quality initiatives in your organization. In this new post-COVID era of quiet quitting, bare-minimum, zero-initiative people in customer facing roles, Zelesia is a breath of fresh air.“
