Good coffee. Good people.
This is a hidden gem, open later than most other coffee shops. Lots of sunlight and comfortable seating, and a bonus in that there is a great vibe in this building, a lot of student energy, which is very encouraging. It would be hard not to feel welcome here.
This is a great little coffee shop! The drinks are high quality and the staff is friendly. Although it’s located on the Midwestern campus, it’s easy to access and there is lots of seating. Natalie is an amazing manager!
The best cafe in all of Kansas City! A *very* nice bookstore is connected to it. The people there are kind and welcoming, and the atmosphere is very studious
You would think a university that is suppose to study themselves approved wouldnt be so quick to judge a book by its cover.... pious hypocrites like the pharisees . If I can be honest I am very upset I have been coming to this cafe for about 3 months at least once a week well sometimes I take my little girl with me. I asked the front desk clerk if we could play at the park adjacent to the building while I read my Bible they said no it's just for the church the one down in the center at the campus we can play at , we get there and as we pull up a woman just so happens to be walking right by the park looks at the security guards and laughs or scoffs unsure, security stop and pull out what seems like as if they barely got there suv in park before they both jump out and say what business do you have here you have to leave this property .... I won't be coming back here especially since they made my little girl very very sad... they very rude and I very upset I'm starting to build my own very bias opinion about the general public in north kansas city I think I just need to stay down below the river
Coffee and food is good, but the barista is rude.

Just to warn you, this is an on campus coffee shop so if you are okay with the college student atmosphere then you will likely love this place. Good coffee (one of the best in the northland) and very kind service from my experience. Seating can be difficult to find on certain days at certain times because students are often using them. Definitely worth a try to see if you like the vibe.

I got to visit this coffee shop today and as a public (non-student) visitor, I had a great time.A couple of tips:There is limited parking at the Student Center where the coffee shop is located. I parked at the chapel and walked up a short hill to get to the entrance. You can see the coffee shop from the entrance, so easy to find.The seating options are varied as there are a couple of tables and high tops for laptop users and some great comfy armchairs that are also available.The wifi password is posted on the wall by the main doorway, so that was a bonus.There is outdoor seating as well, just off of the main entrance, which is next to a Christian bookstore (that is also open to the public).The coffee is local (PT's) and the drip was good and very reasonably priced. They have a nice pour over menu as well but I didn't sample those this time.I enjoyed the welcoming and beautiful architecture and was able to get a few hours of work done at this new-to-me spot. Very thankful it is open to the public!

Sadly we we’re excited to try a new coffee shop in Gladstone area. Google states their hours as if they are a public place, this place is exclusive to students who have special access to the building. Needless to say we couldn’t get in and were just stared at by the Christian employees and students.

Coffee shop is not available for the public. Tried to get in and the doors were locked and people were staring at us and were no help at all.
Very good coffee and peaceful atmosphere...

Good service and great coffee, keep the great work going!
Coffee shop not open in the morning. Must be for students only, but all doors are locked for public.
