Excellent coffee, small snacks and pastries. Service is wonderful and there are lots of seating options. Nestled in river market, this bookstore /coffee shop / bar is still around after some rearranging of the layout. We've been regulars since opening week a couple years ago or so. Solid choice to settle down and get some work done on the weekend.

Our Daily Nada is a heavenly bookstore cafe and bar located in the heart of the River Market.

I saw this place with my significant other while wandering in the Rivermarket area and we made a mental note that we had to come here. From the outside looking in it appears like a mix between a cozy hipster coffee shop/ bar and a bookstore. In our eyes it would be a fun rainy/ chilly date idea we needed to go when we had nothing better to do. Fast forward a few months and it was a rainy and chilly Sunday with nothing better to do which meant a perfect opportunity to try Our Daily Nada. I can't tell you how much we loved trying this cozy experience that included a bar with a well versed bartenders and rotating food and drink menu. We came when the sofas and loveseats were occupied but waited patiently to snag one when someone eventually left. There's a large array of books which could keep you occupied while your drink is being made, explore a new book to potentially purchase, or just look at for fun. I plan on coming here again in the future.

Books, drinks, and coffee. What else do you need? Their space is very pleasing to the eye, love the lighting

Our Daily Nada is a heavenly bookstore cafe and bar located in the heart of the River Market. A peaceful, urban escape, ODN is my favorite study spot, date night, and more. They have everything I could want including: delicious espresso drinks, hot/iced teas, wines by the glass, snacks, a quiet atmosphere, great seating, plenty of outlets, and late hours (typically open til 10pm). It's a great spot to escape the hustle and bustle of the City Market during nice weather weekends. The staff is kind, relaxed, knowledgeable, and accommodating. I've personally asked the employees if it's okay if I camped out to study there for a few hours and they said no problem. ODN is the perfect spot to host your book or study group. They also host excellent events from writers workshops to poetry performances, book readings, author meet-and-greets, and more. Check their Facebook page for upcoming events, especially if you're into art and literature. Some events tend to fill up quickly so it doesn't hurt to get there early! Event or not, go check it out for yourself!

I'm sad that it took me all of this time to finally set foot into Our Daily Nada. I ventured in to find a literary gift for my wife but ended up with not only a book, but several small novelty items for stocking stuffers a great tasting Cortado served by really cool staff and a strong desire to return soon. The space is "A Clean Well Lighted Place" that contains a small but well curated selection of books to peruse and purchase while you are consuming caffeine, alcohol, or carbs and proteins. What else could you want? I will make sure that ODN is a regular stop on all of my River Market adventures.

Our Daily Nada has been my absolute favorite find in KC so far, I can't believe it took me 3 months of living in the River Market neighborhood to finally make my way in and I am so glad I did. The space itself is elegant yet laid back with ample seating for spending an afternoon to get some studying done. ODN offers a great spot to break up the library routine and enjoy a chai tea or coffee. The staff is uber friendly and have been great in guiding what beverage I should try on each visit. Excited to make Our Daily Nada a consistent part of my coffee shop rotation.

Super cute mix of coffee, bistro, bookshop, and, bar. Clean lines, comfy couches, super chill, several tables, shabby chic modern aesthetic. Look forward to coming back soon!

Great staff and chill atmosphere. Wish I was in Kansas City longer or I would definitely have spent more time there.

A great little bookstore with coffee, food and drinks!
Fantastic cafe and cocktail bar that opened in River Market mid-2018. Excellent staff, and the atmosphere has been chill and cozy both times I've visited, once for cocktails and once for coffee. I really enjoy the bookstore vibe and the amount of space. It's at an excellent location as well, so it's very easy to grab a drink here after eating at The Farmhouse or Tribe Kitchen. Another perk is that it's very close to a KC streetcar stop, so traveling downtown to Crossroads or elsewhere is easy to do.

It's a great place to read during the day. Something feels off. I think it might be the color scheme. It's so many light colors and not bar like. Also it doesn't really stand out. It feels like a coffee/bar that has books. It doesn't quite come together and create a cohesive experience for me. I personally would love the colors to darken with low hanging ceiling lights creating little light bubbles around different areas to read. So it really gives the vibe a cozy place to curl up and read with a nice night cap.

Great refreshing stop on a hot day in the River Market. We had Iced Red Hibiscus tea and Espresso, and enjoyed a children's book on Sly James and the Magic Bow Tie. And read KC Spaces in a very relaxed cushy chair.

Fun concept. Fun people. Fun place. Our Daily Nada is an awesome little bar/coffee shop/bookstore in River Market. They have created a very laid back yet classy atmosphere. Their menu features a bevy of beverage options almost all named after famed literary figures. Also pay attention to their rotating seasonal menu. It features some unique combinations that they have perfected!
