Beautiful coffee shop with fresh food and good drinks. The prices are super reasonable, and there are lots of seating options even when busy.

Great food, Friendly Service, and a cute small neighborhood coffee shop vibe! The owner, she's so sweet, and the reason I keep coming back! I walsh get a yummy Hibiscus Berry Iced Tea with Lavender or Rose in it and always get me a burger with all the fix-ins- minus tomatoes lol- They never have issues with my drinks, and the organic food and magical chef always makes me feel good after eating!

Delightful. The BLT was yummy & my matcha was perfect. Loved it all & looking forward to returning! The shop is also very cute, the people friendly, & I liked the Beatles playing in the background. :)

I had this coffee shop on my radar since I had seen it listed any time I conducted a search for coffee shops I hadn't been to in the K.C area. It appeared pretty large from the pictures; however, as we all know pictures can be deceiving. What I can say is when I first entered the place, my impression was "too close for comfort," plus it has those metal soda shop type chairs (shown in images). Maybe a total of ten tables and the one upper section shown as main image on Yelp, is a small narrow section with five tables there. So, when busy (as it was when we showed up) not the best and most quiet place for study or work, or to have a private conversation. There was this one man who kept walking around to each table trying to give a sales pitch. Who knows? The people at the counter were friendly, and for such a small place I was surprised to see the counter staffed with more the two people. I've been to bigger coffee shops with less staff behind the counter. The drip coffee was good, and that is a good thing for anyone who lives in the neighborhood because this is an ideal neighborhood coffee shop. There was only side street parking, so it's most convenient to walk down here, and with that this place can be cozy once the crowd leaves. The breakfast sandwich was very satisfying. Husband and I both had the egg, cheddar with chipotle mayo on wheat breakfast sandwich. I added bacon to mine, and it was tasty that way. The only thing was that the menu stated it was supposed to have was arugula, and our sandwiches didn't have it.

Coffee: I got a iced latte with oat milk & strawberry with brown sugar cinnamon. I love mixing coffee flavors to see what I get. They have a lot flavors to choose from. My mixing tasted like the old strawberry and chocolate ice cream out of a tub I had at birthday parties as a kid so nostalgic. It was a hint of cinnamon and had a good balance of coffee and flavor not too sweet. Location is kind of hidden and it's on a one way street that was crowded and not many parking spots available at 8 am. I happen to look up coffee shops near me since my go to was closed and didn't realize this was down the street from my house. I'll have to come during the work week to get a different wfh scenery. The inside is really cute hanging plants and books will always be a nice vibe. There is a good amount of seating and they had music playing but not very loud volume. I had a little wait but each employee acknowledged me and was very polite.

This is the quintessential neighborhood coffee shop! Not only were the pastries amazing, but the atmosphere was perfect. I love that they have local artists work on display and I even got to meet one of the artists!

We had our puppy with us on this trip, and trying to have lunch was challenging since we wanted to find a place with a patio, but the two places we stopped at were full. So we were tired at this point and ended up stopping here. The owner was personable. I ordered a café au lait, americano, and two sandwiches. She was on the phone with someone, and another staff was making the sandwiches; still, I waited a bit for my order even though mine was the only one they were working on. I like the packaging; very sturdy, same for the coffee cups. Anyway, we like the coffee. The sandwiches were tasty and reasonably priced, but the turkey was tough. Still, it was a decent lunch, and it was what we needed, something quick and easy for the road home.
