“Nothing better than the ORIGINAL !! #OG #B&G“

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

“This little local gem is such a gift to Kansas City! The coffee is phenomenal, food delicious, but NOTHING beats the warmth and inclusion the staff offers freely to each guest! I always leave this beautiful establishment with a full heart, and the sustenance I need to make it through another day of caring for the KCMO community. Thank you, Anchor Island, for loving us so well! We love you! ⚓️ 🏝️🥹💖“

“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!“

“I have been dying to try this place but it is way across town for me. It was well worth the trip. I got “The Mind Latte” a mushroom concoction with mushroom cold foam. This is unique, creative and tasty. The whole vibe is awesome. I am so happy I made the trip. I will be back.“

“I try to explore local eateries and coffee shops whenever I’m on work trips, and I have to hand it to Fitti’s. The atmosphere is so homey and cozy, the coffee was amazing and I also tried one of their brownies - everything was fantastic. The day I visited was kind of rainy, so the vintage lights glowing and the soft music playing was reminiscent of when I watch those “coffee shop jazz” videos on YouTube. I’m excited to return!“

“Great coffee, food and staff. Will definitely be back!“

“Great coffee! I love the ambiance of the place!“

“I stumbled upon this little shop after begging the GPS to find the closest coffee shop on my way to work. Being greeted by a calm, sweet, warm eyed pup and great coffee was just what I needed. I will definitely be making this a regular stop. The coffee is great (I had an iced mud pit) and the biscuits and gravy were the perfect comfy breakfast! Highly recommend checking this place out!“

“I stopped into Waterbird Coffee in downtown KC and ordered a brown sugar cinnamon latte, and it was absolutely delicious, especially on a cold day. The balance of sweetness and warm spice was spot on, and the espresso flavor still came through nicely in every sip. The cafe itself has a warm, inviting vibe that makes it an ideal spot to thaw out and relax for a bit. 5/5 and highly recommend making a stop here for a comforting cup of coffee—get the brown sugar cinnamon latte if you need something cozy and satisfying.“

“I forgot her name but the barista was super helpful and really sweet, she even suggested a bookstore for me and my girlfriend to go after. I got the raspberry macha and blueberry scone, both were delicious.
Highly recommend, reasonably priced and a dope atmosphere“

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

“Amazing atmosphere and great coffee“

“This is a lovely spot for coffee, bite to eat, and a cozy environment.“

“On December 8 (the sad anniversary of John Lennon’s assassination), Babs told me about a coffeehouse that she’d read about in Kansas City Magazine. “Sounds like your kind of place.” On Saturday the 9th, I stopped by & was smitten. The coffee was terrific. The place had a funky yet welcoming vibe. Today 12/15/23, I invited my coffee ☕️ group to meet there & they were equally impressed. We’ll be back.“

“This place was phenomenal! The food first of all was excellent fresh and made from fresh ingredients! The service was beyond great. They have taught these young people how to respond properly to the public. It's a great place to catch a bite to eat have a cup of coffee and meet up with friends ! You are also promoting the skills of culinary arts for foster kids who age out of the system ! I give this place five stars“

“What can I say, THE BEST COFFEE IN TOWN. I absolutely bring our friends and family here. I loved this place so much that when I found out they hosted large events inside their spacious venue I had to book it for our wedding reception! They handled it with the utmost care and all our needs were met in a timely and courteous manner.“

“Really great coffee and food!!“

“This record store/ coffee shop is a rare gem. We were blown away by the selection of vinyl from all different genres. We didn't have coffee, so no review about that, but the coffee bar area looked clean and welcoming. The owner took the time to help us select a record from a local band. We're from out of town and wanted to take a gift back for a friend. He asked us a few questions and helped us make the selection. He knew a lot about the local music scene and was friendly.“

“First time trying the iced Blondie ! Sorry Starbucks but I found my new love for iced coffee ❤️“

“Everything about this location is so unique, beautiful and very tastefully done! I have never had anything from here that did not eclipse what you could imagine about pastries and coffee! 10 out of 10 recommend!“

“I come to Kansas once.a year. The standard only gets better.

Cafe Corazon, a place full of peace and tranquility, bringing nations together. No fighting, no ugliness, only people of every nation comming to experience drinks and foods, found nowhere else. People gathering together for the taste of love, with which everything there is done.
Ignasius , thank you for the wonderful experience. You enjoy what you do and it shows as ypu interact with the people!

My first comment : Wow! Best coffee I've had since arriving here a week ago. Cafe Bombin. Beef empanadas was so tasty. Clean. Ambience is peaceful and inviting. Lady serving was friendly. Will be back for sure.“

“Amazing coffee! Will certainly have to return!“

“chill vibes, friendly service!“

“I met a friend for coffee here yesterday. What a great experience. We each had 2 drinks and stayed to visit for 2.5 hours! We each had a latte and a tea. Both were great! We felt welcome and I even joked around with Charlie. I was being my usual weird self and he was very entertained. We will definately return often.“

“The very best coffees in the northland. Maybe even in the city. Cookies not bad either. Staff friendly.“

“I tried the salted butterscotch. It was delicious.“

“The spinach feta croissant and the horchata latte are absolutely buss. This place is soooo good and the bathroom is really nice too. I would say there was a decent amount of people here today like it was poppin but the baristas got everything out so quickly. This place is #goatstatus please come here. I don't have any pictures of the food because i lowkey inhaled it but here's a pic of the crumbs 👀“

“We adore our neighbors at Sway! We grab a coffee here nearly every day and brew our own with their beans when they are closed. They are a brilliant addition to the neighborhood, the smell of beans roasting in an inviting place to grab a beverage and a McLain’s bakery treat.“

“I love cats they love me. Nothing else to“

“I did not try their food. I had an oat milk latte with mocha flavoring. The coffee flavor is rich and delicious. The mocha flavor was tasty, but absolutely not at all overwhelming, so the coffee is able to shine. Not overly sweet. Highly recommend!“

“Our first time here and Breakfast & Coffee was delicious. Wonderful atmosphere.“

“very good coffee and great price.“

“My name is Fares Alves, and I am a coffee producer from Brazil.
I would like to introduce our Brazilian green coffee (unroasted and unground), which will soon be available for export to the United States.
Our coffee is produced in Minas Gerais, one of Brazil’s main coffee-growing regions, in a mountain area at approximately 1,100 meters of altitude.
This high-altitude environment provides a mild climate and slow cherry maturation, resulting in coffees with good sweetness, balance, and a clean cup profile.
We work with careful harvesting and well-controlled post-harvest processes, focusing on quality and consistency. Our coffees are suitable for both specialty and premium commercial roasters.
We would be happy to share more details, such as:
Coffee varieties
Processing methods
Crop availability and volumes
Samples for evaluation
Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in learning more about our coffee or discussing a potential partnership.
Best regards,
Fares Alves
Minas Gerais – Brazil

“Hands down one of the best coffee shops I’ve had this year!!! I have no recommendations!! That snores latte was so heavenly omgggg!! The pastry was so flaky, soft, and yummy. The biscuits and gravy, the most perfect portion paired with coffee. Everyone there was so niceee and honest with recommendations!!! I’ve recommended this place to a lot of people.“

“YUM! Love, love, love the new turkey Swiss croissant sandwich!!!!“

“Had a wonderful experience this afternoon at Parkville Coffee. Friendly staff, wonderful coffee and macaroons. Would definitely come back next time we’re in the area. Thank you for being so welcoming. 😄“

“great coffee! awesome Hot cocoa!“

“Great place for us. we have been going to John's since they opened and they only had one little room it's wonderful to see how it's grown love it I don't go out all the time however when I do that's the place to be. the music suits my soul.“

“Today was my husband and I’s first time trying Dutch Bros. We went to the Dutch Bros on Antioch Rd in Kansas City. We were greeted by good music and a friendly gentleman named Aaron. He was polite and patient with us as we decided which drink would be best to try first. He gave us the wonderful recommendation of trying the Blended Fruit Punch with the sour candy straw and it did not disappoint. It was tasty, exciting and our new favorite beverage on the market! Although the drink was amazing, Aaron will be the reason why we will keep coming back! Thank you Aaron for being awesome and kind.“

“Great coffee, great food and excellent customer service!“

“Wife and I love this place. It a last stop for a date night for us. It’s open late, great location, good pastries 🥐 and a flavorful cup ☕️ We love the atmosphere and the service.“

“We stopped at Overflow Coffee while we happened to be in the area, and we are so glad we did! First of all, Mark and Hannah were both so wonderful and kind. They had made one of our drinks hot on accident when it was supposed to be iced and we offered to pay for the new one (we also changed the syrup flavor) but they gave it to us for free and were so kind about it. The coffees were delicious and the spinach, bacon, and swiss crepe was fantastic!! They have a gluten free crepe option and it was great. They roast their own beans and make their own syrups and you can tell they put thought & care into everything they make. The hot coffee cups also had Bible verses written on them which I loved. Great people & a great place!“

“Visited Sunday morning and was blown away by the great service! And my Americano and breakfast sandwich in their cafe atmosphere jumpstarted my day!“

“Nice staff, good location, good coffee!“
