I recently visited this cafe and found it to be a pleasant experience overall. The location is quite convenient, making it an easy spot to meet up with friends or enjoy a quiet moment alone. The cafe offers a unique combination of a bakery and a pub, which adds to its charm and provides a variety of options for different tastes. The prices are reasonable, which is always a plus, especially when you’re looking to enjoy a meal or a drink without breaking the bank. The atmosphere is inviting and conducive to good conversation, making it an ideal place to catch up with someone. However, I found the coffee to be just okay, not quite meeting my personal expectations.

The coffee was delicious. However, the restaurant wasn’t busy at all on Sunday morning, yet it still took 45 minutes to prepare a simple chorizo sandwich and potatoes dish. Unfortunately, that kind of wait time doesn’t justify the $15-20 price tag.

Cool funky little spot. Needs to come with directions. You order from four different spots 1. Coffee etc... 2.Bar 3. Restaurant 4. Bakery Make sure you are in the right line for what you want They were packed Sunday for lunch so plan accordingly.

PROS: located in Kansas City, CONS: cost, coffee, customer experience, dirty and dusty. I have walked by this coffee shop for any years and finally walked in and this is what I experienced. Upon entering the shop my wife and I noticed all of the decorations and "antiques" hanging for the walls and ceilings. The amount of dust buildup on these items was making me wonder how much of this stuff is just floating in the air and getting into the drinks. The girl at the front desk was off-putting and made my wife and I feel like maybe we should go somewhere else. addressing consumers in an appropriate was is crucial. We took into account that she may have been having a bad day, however there were several other employees in the shop who also lacked the ability to smile. I also know that this is a common Kansas City swag. Nevertheless it made our visit less enjoyable. We did not sit down and got our chai tea lattes to go so I can not give you much detail on the seating. The drinks that we ordered were terrible. We ordered Chai tea lattes and they were syrupy and think. The flavors were off and the drinks were way to thick to drink. We discarded the lattes as they were making up sick. I will absolutely not be visiting this coffee shop again.

I’ve walked by this place for 15 years and always thought it was just a tiny corner spot. I went in today with a friend who recommended it bc she loves it and it is HUGE inside! Multiple levels with loads of diff seating, a unique vibe for KC and I love it. The menu for food and drinks were massive (it was a bit overwhelming bc they had everything and I wanted it all: smoothies, teas, shakes, cocktails etc). It’s in the perfect spot with street parking right outside and just across the street from thr main hub of Rivermarket! I’ll def be back here to hang out and it seems like it would have a great night time vibe too! Love the view of the city from here too.
