32 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.“

“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 love the coffee here. The Carmella is my favorite. Very lovely staff!“

“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.“

“This location is hands down the best in Topeka. The staff is wonderful. They made my birthday so special and were so helpful and kind. The girl who works there that also works at the gage scooters… thank you! You’re a kind and genuine person and I will definitely make this my go-to scooters! I’m sure the employees don’t get the credit they deserve which is why I wanted to post a review. Because yall deserve a pat on the back and I will definitely be back! This will forever be my go to store! Thank you so so much!“

“Scooters is the best coffee shop in town. First time I had Scooters was in Omaha and when I heard we finally were getting one I was overjoyed! Granted we have many shops now but I used to drink their coffee daily till I realized I needed to cut back financially haha but you can’t go wrong really with any drink and they are always expanding their menu and changing up different drinks and foods, I love the different flavors. Their prices are comparable to other coffee shops, their customer service is outstanding and they really try to be personable even when you are not fully awake yet and need that espresso. Overall I recommend Scooters over any other coffee shop and I have tried others but Scooters is the winner for me!“

“Great place for coffee or drinks.“

“I usually always come to this one because it is literally close to my house but today I made a special stop because the one on 17th gave us horrible drinks. I came to get the same drinks because the others were horrible and may I say they did not disappoint as always and such perfessionalism was delivered. I definitely appreciate everyone on staff here and want you to know YOU GUYS ROCK and are the perfect faces to Dutch Bro's.“

“This is a great & friendly place!!!“

“I've been in Topeka about 2 years now, this is the first time I caught Paradise when they are open. The donuts are delicious; the only difficulty is the hours. You're so good they sell out by about 8:30 in the morning and then they close and don't open till the next day. I would say the wait was worth it!

Atmosphere is not really the point cuz you don't stay to eat, but it's pleasant enough.“

“The friendliest owner/employees. We had the fried chicken dinner with mac 'n cheese and collard greens with cheesecake for dessert. I can't say enough about how delicious it all was. We will 100% be back SOON! We want to try everything on the menu! 😊“

“I’m so glad I discovered you on Facebook and got to come by today. I loved my latte!! Thank you and I’ll find you again soon!!! ❤️❤️“

“Carlos is a wonder! After a busy day of grocery shopping we stopped by at the end of the day Feb 13th, and his counters were bare. But he pulled a beautiful strawberry tart out of his magic kitchen- PERFECT!! We went straight home and ate it! To heck with supper! We have to use considerable self-control to keep from getting something delicious every day he is open. We speak from experience as people who spent three years in Germany and traveled Europe. Carlos’ Le Petit Bon Bon rivals any pastry we had anywhere in the world.“

“Great selection, great prices and friendly staff.“

“Clean, well organized, and fairly priced!“

“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.“

“Best coffee ever and I don’t even like coffee😂😂 Also have great workers and a great atmosphere!“

“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!“

“Walked in to a new beautifully renovated Starbucks location, and was greeted by the woman at the cash register right away. When asked about new flavors she suggested the pistachio latte with brown sugar and adding a shot of blonde expresso to make it smoother. Drink turned out wonderful and so was the customer service. Will be coming back! 👍🏼☕“

“Of course their coffee was excellent this morning. Additionally the fellow waiting on us was very warm and engaging. Shame on me for not catching the name.“
