Currently on the hunt for the best coffee shops in Kansas so here is my review for Leslie!Service: 6/10 nothing stellar, nothing bad. Coffee: 6.5/10 Solid but certainly nothing special quality or menu wise. It really tasted like at home coffee and matcha. Would like to see more variety and better craft.Food: 4/10 this is where this is lacking for me. The avocado toast was just meh, I will say they pack it with avocado so that's good but the bread is fair and the topping are just alright. The biscuit sandwich is almost always cold and has no flavor at all, with a meh quality egg patty. The avocado toast at Coffee Daze is significantly better.

Have been coming here for over a year and absolutely love Leslie’s. To the point that I buy their tea and beans. Everyone is so nice, especially Jason and Alex!

Highest quality coffee in Wichita. Consistently amazing, and the selection of house-made sauces and syrups for lattes is second to none. This isn’t just some place where they just throw it together - it’s made with care and craftsmanship, so the price is worth it. I also find Leslie’s pursuit to accommodating the unhoused and underprivileged to be admirable. There are a number of people who complain about this, but they are shockingly ignorant and must live in a bubble. Don’t listen to them. This place is a gem.

Cannot say enough good things about this place! Coffee is delicious, baristas are always on point, great vegetarian options which I greatly appreciate. You can see the impact and care they have for their community in one visit. Absolutely my go to anytime I’m in Wichita!

This is one of my sister's favorite coffee shops in Wichita so I had to give it a try! Ordered the chai latte & my friend got a lime Italian soda because we oddly enough weren't in the mood for coffee. Friend said the lime was very forward in the creamy soda which was yummy & more "fresh tasting" than other sodas she has tried. The chai was pretty standard, buuut I could get it in a "for here" ceramic mug which made my day! One thing to note - when we were in around 1-2 on a Saturday, the place was really quiet. Just talking in low to medium volume felt like the whole place could hear us and I'm pretty sure they turned up their background music because everyone else was sitting alone or with a laptop in front of them. So other than that being awkward, the place itself had lots of plants inside which was cool!

The best cup of coffee in Wichita, hands down! So many great food options too. I love the ambiance, and the staff is so friendly and great. I can’t recommend it enough.

Stopped there while visiting from out of state. The most AMAZING lattes. We were ready to turn around and get a second cup; however, they were closing soon, and we had somewhere else to be. Wanted to go back before leaving the next day only to realize they were closed. ?

A Delano coffee shop deserving a visit from all locals, right at Douglas and Walnut and next to Subway by Seneca Street. I have always admired the look of Leslie’s, from the beautiful ceilings, to the Wichita-themed wallpaper, to the well spread out dining area. I also enjoy being served by this consistent staff who offer friendly service and actual glassware rather than being limited by to-go cups. The cold brew and avocado toast are my personal picks here but I have also been served some fantastic presentations of their hot coffees. I just ask that they now dial back the plants now that they have grown out and overwhelmed the inside which makes it a bit claustrophobic to dine in. I also encourage them to simply take the patio completely out of the equation because it is does not benefit their paying customers in any way with how they are taken over by non customers. Overall, here is a coffee shop that I can support and recommend to Wichita.
I love this place. One of the best coffee shops in town. Great coffee & AMAZING avocado toast. The plants are the best part of this place. Service is great, Mari is MY GIRLLLL. Check it out. Heard rumors it may be closing

This seems like a small thing, but I appreciate that every time I order an oat milk latte with caramel for my mom they make sure I know that the caramel has dairy. My mom isn't vegan but I am, so I appreciate that they tell me and I know that if I try to order a latte with non-dairy milk and a syrup that I don't realize has dairy, they will tell me. A lot of places don't make this effort.

The tea was delicious and my sister in law enjoyed her coffee. The coffee shop itself is adorable. The food needs a lot of help though - her cookie was stale, the toast was burnt black, and a floppy piece of almost raw bacon was what I paid extra for as an add on to my sandwich. My niece had a bowl of blueberries which had mushy and moldy ones in it. Would definitely stop again for the tea, but never again any food.

Best espresso in Wichita I found. Great chilled atmosphere and friendly staff. Highly recommended

Amazing coffees and food. Love the plants and how open the seating is. Downtown area with a beautiful view only negative is the trash outside the shop. Other than that would recommend.
