We also had the most amazing time speaking with Cole who was the host!! He is an incredible person and we really enjoyed speaking with him!! It was a very busy morning at Corner Cafe and these two made sure we had a great experience and left happy!!! Thank you so much Maggie and Cole!!!“

“You can't go to Sam's Club without stopping by the cafe for a tastey, super affordable snack. It's the only reason my kids ever tag along. The service is friendly and fast. The prices stay low. So it's a win for me and the kids.

Kid-friendliness: My kids are always eating here along with many other children with other families.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible tables are available here.“

“Ariel was so friendly and personable. 5 stars.In a world where it seems like employees at chains could care less, Ariel greeted me with a smile and asked how my holiday was. Later, as I worked from a table, I saw some kids come in, acting a little obnoxious and asking for water (without buying anything). She was so patient, and treated them with kindness, not lecturing them about having to buy something to get a cup of water, but treated them like 10 or 12 year olds who were just out having fun and not really understanding how business works.Good on Ariel and good on this Starbucks for hiring her. The world needs more people like this, and corporate chains need to do whatever it takes to single out these type of people and make sure they have jobs (and make sure they are promoted).Great experience, and brightened my day!“

“Rudy and the staff of this First Watch are more likely angels from heaven than anything else. The crew here reinforced to this little boy all the goodness, kindness, and love that is in the world. I travel the road most of my life. I meet a lot of strangers/new friends all the time. The folks at this First Watch are top-tier! Thanks for being here, and I can’t wait to pass through KCMO and say hello again.“

“I have to make a separate post just to shout out to Jeremy and Jody, the owners of The Fillmore Café. These two are quite possibly two of the best humans, no joke. From answering all of my questions to walking through the venue and helping plan how to set up to allowing us to use their conference room to do as much as we could last night. And today they were both quick to ask how they could help with setting up AND tearing down! Jody saw the stress on my face and had 2 espresso martinis made for me. THIS IS THE PLACE TO HOST YOUR EVENT!!! The space was open, inviting, clean and we very much appreciated the varying seating options. Every seat there was absolutely comfortable. Oh, and the lighting is adjustable so it was dimmed perfectly!! Thank you, Jeremy and Jody, for being so great. We will definitely be seeing you again soon!!!“

“We love Fat bee! The drinks are amazing and the staff is so friendly! We always have the best experience!“
