Cafes near Riverside

“Love this place, this food and the staff. They are always sweet to us. Doesn't matter if we eat in or take out! We do a lot and I mean A LOT of curbside here. We live down the street so easy access but know if the food was subpar or the people were awful, we would go elsewhere. I didn't rate on Atmosphere because we rarely go in these days.“

“Great service! DELICIOUS LATTES! And always have the most beautiful flowers.“

“This place is the jewel of the neighborhood and of KCNE. Here, not only good things happen, but they are possible because of the owner’s mission of creating a place for making dreamers’ dream a reality. From providing a space for yoga, meditation, selling crafts, singing, delicious healthy food and drinks plus all his employees are happy people and soon greet you by name. Vegans and organics are safe here too. Without PH Coffee the Art Garden would not have had the necessary support and resources it needed to start and grow. Thank you Eric!“

“This is one of my FAVES to get coffee from. A couple of years ago they had a ‘Cinnamon Toast Crunch’ flavored iced coffee that I was absolutely obsessed with, I went today and asked what might be similar since it hadn’t come back to the menu for awhile, they asked me to give them a second and they came back with a solution to my craving within a minute. They went above and beyond to ask if I wanted cinnamon on top, were super efficient, and so kind! It tastes exactly the same as what I remembered and I’m currently chugging it now. For 2 lg coffees it was only $15! Make a trip over to see them, it’s worth it!!“

“I daydream about Thelma's Chicken Sandwich with avocado & bacon! So satisfying! Delicious, quick and easy, convenient, and a great cause!“

“Ran across this place and the smoothies were delicious so refreshing definitely recommend“

“if I could give it 10 stars I would. The product itself is unique. Delicious ..The environment is fun.. you'll never eat that crap at any other place referring it as açaí '“

“Stopped here for breakfast before leaving KC - so worth it! The cinnamon roll, gooey butter cake, and breakfast hash were delicious! This place was highly recommended and I can see why. The hot mocha latte I got was great too! The place was packed and busy but they weee FAST on getting food and drinks out.“

“The Lunch Box is a bodega with fast, friendly service and good food. I was there at lunch time and ordered onion rings and turkey club sandwich. The onion rings were homemade and would have been excellent but they were over-fried and tasted a bit burnt. The turkey club was excellent with lots of smoked turkey covered in bacon and cheese, served on toast with mayo, lettece and tomato. I will be back!“

“We enjoy Muffins and Coffee with our dog ( Woody) in a quiet area…loved the music selection…“

“Excellent in every respect!!!“

“Spokes Management was able to host us for a holiday party which was an absolute hit for all those in attendance. The atmosphere was phenomenal. Dan and Robin were not just working behind the bar but they were all over the place helping us with anything we needed. They were incredibly personable all night. Spokes is a top notch space with amazing coffee and food. I can’t wait to go back!“

“Pleasant visit. Enjoyed our coffee on the rooftop patio which made for a fun experience, employees were kind and helpful.“

“We traveled from Edwardsville to eat today. its worth the drive. we miss eating here will start coming back more often“

“Passing through on our way back home to Idaho, stopped by Roxanne’s Cafe and there were no regrets. Wonderful place with friendly people. The food was outstanding.“

“I love this place! I’m not much of a cigar smoker, but I do enjoy one every once in a while, and this spot is perfect for it. The atmosphere is comfortable, and the drinks are amazing. Every now and then, they even have live music, which adds to the great experience.“

“I got the red wine and beef pie and it was amazing I don't normally leave reviews but it was so good that I had to go on here and instantly leave a review I will be back for more definitely recommend“

“We had a great time at Donutology in Westport! Delicious, fresh, choose-your-own-toppings, kid-friendly. Hardworking staff, friendly, great atmosphere. Will be back!“

“Excellent!“

“My daughter and I just visited last Friday! It was wonderful! We had some of the best interactions with all of the staff. I could’ve stayed in the Egyptian exhibit all day!“

“I’ve heard of Equal Minded in the past, but recently a friend hosted an event there and it was great! The space was easy to set up in, the coffee and snacks were great & the customer service. Since then, if I am in the area and I need to get work done, it’s becoming more of a place to pop into. The more I get to know about what they offer and the small businesses they support, the more I enjoy becoming a customer there. I also really like that they have some Sugar Free options & I really like their Honey Lavender Matcha too!“

“Hagámoslo simple… tengo que regresar a este sitio!!…“

Wheelchair accessibility: Una segura y larga rampa, a la que solo le agragaria una cortos descansos intermedios para quienes esperan en sus sillas de ruedas, no estén cuesta abajo todo el tiempo.“

“The restaurant is in a warehouse type building but a lot of effort has been put into giving it a cozy feel. Once more people discover how good the food is, the place should fill up and be more appealing. The food was delicious, portions large, and service friendly and efficient. We were just passing through and if we ever come back to the area, we will hope to dine there again.“

“Such an awesome place at KCAI - great food, great service, can't be beat!“

“FANTASTIC MUSEUM! My daughter and I are both history nuts and love this place! The staff members are very knowledgeable and are so sweet! It was my first trip and I could’ve spent 2 or 3 days in here and still wouldn’t have viewed everything. The sweetest man stopped us as we were exiting and asked us if we saw the letter of the luckiest human ever. Of course we didn’t, we had overlooked it. He took us back in and showed us a letter of a soldier who entered and exited service on the same day…just hours apart. This gentleman loved his job and it showed! We will be back, time and time again!“

“Spokes was a lifesaver during my recent trip to Kansas City. Eric and the rest of the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.The cafe itself is an absolute gem. It has a comfortable, inviting atmosphere that gave me the perfect place to hang out while I waited on my hotel room to be ready. Whether you choose a cozy armchair or a spot at a spacious table, there's a perfect place to relax and get some work done.But the true stars of the show were the coffee and the food. My Americano was rich, flavorful, and brewed to perfection. Exactly what I needed to kickstart my day. And let's not forget the incredible club sandwich!By the time I was ready to check into my hotel, I felt refreshed, productive, and most importantly, welcomed. If you find yourself downtown Kansas City, do yourself a favor and head to Spokes. You won't be disappointed!“

“the food was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“I come to KC every December for my husband’s holiday party and last year I found PT coffee! I loved the coffee and the cafe was adorable. I hung out for a little bit to kill some time and it was an enjoyable experience. I’m pretty sure I grabbed coffee twice last year on my quick trip. Staff was fast and friendly. I’m coming again this week and cannot wait to stop in again!“

“Thank you Rachel for helping me pick a drink and introducing me to The Roasterie!

I loved the crunched for time X chai latte you helped me pick out. Also got hazelnut bear claw that was super chocolatey and buttery.

Vibes of this location were great too. Lots of folks working on laptops and studying. Parking was free and adjacent.“

“So many coffee options to choose from. I had a breakfast sandwich with Gluten Free break. Was very hot and fresh. Waited maybe 5 mins. Great service. I told them I had not been here before and they gave me great recommendations. Will definitely come back!“

“The quality and price of the food are GREAT, but the best part is the people working here. Kindness goes a long way, and these folks are genuinely concerned. If you're not an employee, then you are probably not here for the best reasons. Everyone tries to make your day better. We've been here for 10 days, and not once have we had a bad experience in the Cafe. Thank you for making this difficult time just a little easier.“

“We recently hosted our daughter's wedding welcome party in the XR bar and it was the most fun! The atmosphere is very warm and inviting and perfect for what we were hoping for. The drinks were on point as well. But most of our - the service we received from Stella, our server for the night was above and beyond! She was awesome and made our night extra enjoyable! Thanks for Stella and XR for helping us kick off the wedding celebration with a bang!“

“The staff, service and food are each amazing. I was served by a kind waitress named Alaina and greeted by very kind staff. My food is always fresh and piping hot and the quantity is perfect. Overall I’d give my experience a 10 out of 10. Nice work!!!!!“

“we had a great experience I'll definitely be back!“

“Amazing!! What a place to relax and take a break from walking around the Museum. Food was fantastic, Staff was inviting and extremely friendly! A must if your from out of town. If you are from Kansas City you have to make this a regular stop for a bite to eat. Kudos!!“

“The food at Seasons Café is fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. From hearty breakfast options to tasty lunch and dinner dishes, every meal is well-prepared and enjoyable. The casual, welcoming atmosphere makes it a great spot for a relaxed dining experience.“

“The french dip is shaved prime rib!!! It was great. Very good atmosphere and nice staff!“

“Absolutely amazing food! 10 out of 10! Extremely good people working there to top it off! Chill atmosphere. Highly recommend.“

“Great prices, deals and friendly staff. Love the new vibes.“

“Amazing food and staff. Will definitely be going back.“

“We had the fixed price lunch menu. There are many excellent choices for the main dish, two side dishes accompanying it, and dessert. I chose French Onion soup and the arugula salad with pecans, accompanied by Andre's in-house-made dressing. The main course was a fall harvest quiche with potatoes and apples, a locally made goat cheese, baked on a flaky crust. Wowie! Filling, hearty, and beautiful. I finished with a raspberry or strawberry fondant, over alternating layers of crisp pastry and a sweet, creamy filling! Amazing. And that is a generous dollop of fresh whipped cream on the side!“

“Enjoyed sit down lunches twice in UMKC Pierson in last 2 months. Includes chicken breast with Dijon mustard or sliced roast turkey, with soup, fresh green salad, mashed potatoes and 2nd time with mashed sweet potatoes. Finished w cheesecake drizzled w raspberry sauce. 2nd lunch finished w chocolate cake!“

“I stopped into Grande Coffee and Market today and was so glad I did. Ricky made me one of the best hot vanilla lattes with oat milk I’ve ever had—smooth, balanced, and just the right amount of sweetness. The shop itself has a lot to offer: great coffee and tea, smoothies, fresh breakfast pastries, and even convenient store items like toiletries and pantry staples. The space is charming with a big common area, comfortable lounge chairs, and a genuinely welcoming feel. It’s the kind of place you can grab what you need, enjoy a quality drink, or just settle in and relax. Definitely a new favorite spot.“

“Everything was amazing, but our waitress was the best part! She was so friendly & knowledgeable & her smile brighten our day!!! Her name is China, I would recommend going just to see her!“

“I adore Cafe Corazon, and am genuinely shocked that I haven’t reviewed them yet.

I have held office hours at the Westport location since they opened and with years of history behind us, I can definitively say that Cafe Corazon is one of the best coffee experiences to be had in Kansas City.

I say experiences for a reason. Friends, I don’t even like coffee.

Of course, they have a stellar regular menu with great coffee drinks. Seasonal menus are inventive and I’m partial to anything Manzanita flavored in autumn because they put these little cinnamon apple crisps on top and it’s delicious. The coffee flight is fun to order with a friend but for me, the Dulce de Leche Latte, iced with extra drizzle is just *chefs kiss*. Occasionally I’ll add an extra shot if I need the jolt and it’s incredible.

Once, Alejandro saw me on my way in and started making my drink before I hit the door, so I had it in hand by the time I hit the register - which leads me to another thing Cafe Corazon does extraordinarily well. Their team is always so friendly and service-oriented. I love it!

They offer a comprehensive Yerba Mate menu, and it’s fun to overhear staff explain the history and ritual to folks who’ve never tried it before. The empanadas (made by Pan Caliente, a local Argentinian bakery) and accompanying chimichurri sauce is out of this world.

The artwork is colorful annd vibrant and I love when they decorate for holidays. They have a gorgeous ofrenda every year for Dia de los Muertos. The sense of community and Latin American culture that shows up so intentionally in every detail is just as warming as the coffee. That’s why I say experience.

Cafe Corazon has tasty coffee but it’s so much more. This location is a cozy little haven on Westport Rd. and I’m so happy to see them continue to grow and influence the KC coffee landscape.“

“Cheap beer, good music, and authentically immaculate vibes in the weirdest grunge aesthetic.“

“Lovely spot. Cozy and charming atmosphere, creative, delicious dishes and brilliant cocktail selection. I look forward to coming back on my next adventure to KCMO“
