Apogee

The Yelpers were on point again. This is a solid spot. I knew I'd love it when I saw the sign that said "coffee pizza beer!" All my favorite things in one spot. Yes, please. It's a cool vibe on the inside. It's next door to a RoKC which probably gets a good corn from there. They have cocktails, food, breakfast, snacks, milk alternatives and gf and veggie options Today I got a latte with oat milk and whiskey caramel syrup. It was good. Got some protein bites. Those were really good. The pizza looked delish. Will have to try on my next visit.Service was prompt and friendly. If you live in Olathe this is a must stop.

Great coffee adjacent to rock climbing gym. Not ideal atmosphere for long periods of work/relaxing with friends but the best local spot in Olathe by a mile.Owned by one of the former Quay coffee owners in downtown KC

We were in the area and decided to stop in and get a beverage based on the good reviews. We were disappointed to say the least. We went to the front counter and were behind another customer and when he left, the barista just walked off and never said a word. She was apparently ending her shift but it would have been nice to tell the next customers that. So after the other barista finished making a beverage for the previous customer he walked over and was not welcoming or friendly either. When I asked about what types of syrups they had for lattes and any choice of sugar free, he answered with a somewhat snarky reply about how they don't do artificial and they only had lavender/honey or vanilla bean. That's fine but the attitude didn't have to come with it and most coffee shops have syrups/flavorings so it's not unusual to ask! Quite a few of the empty tables needed to be cleaned as well. The trash was full and the cushioned chairs were stained in the next room. So the vibe was not good and the service was rude. The only good thing was the coffee was good and the tea. But we won't be coming back based on the experience which is important as well.

I LOVE Apogee. West Olathe was in desperate need of a place like this - we could use 3 more things like it. Apogee is the only coffee place in the area with what I consider "good vibes." I love the staff - especially Mallory, who is a ray of sunshine. Lots of friendly clientele, too. It is fun that it is connected to the rock climbing gym, so there are a lot of families, young people, etc. in and out all day. Apogee is more than coffee - it actually is a full restaurant, coffee shop, and full bar.I go to Apogee almost weekly during my work day to work for a couple of hours. It is the perfect working atmosphere if you like a little ambient noise in a comfortable environment. I always feel welcome here.The food is good - although it is a small menu. It's basically pizza and a few sandwiches. I do wish they had a bit more. My go to is the lunch special, which is a small personal pizza and side salad. If I'm there in the morning, I get their breakfast burrito, which is also very good.My one piece of constructive feedback - I think it'd be worth putting a menu board up above the bar. People hate QR code menus, and it is confusing to newcomers to not see a menu. Plus, it'd be cute!Definitely give Apogee a try. I waited longer than I otherwise would've because I thought it was going to be like a climbing gym snack bar, but it is much more than that. They sometimes do events and activities as well, such as trivia night. So glad to have Apogee here in Olathe

Really tasty, super interesting little coffee shop attached to a rock climbing gym! I don't do much climbing myself but I absolutely need to bring my sister here! I love the vibes and the coffee is really solid and reasonably priced. It's definitely getting out of hand when you have to pay $10 with tip for a dang latte. I had a lemon honey lavender latte and the flavor was subtle and light in the best way - it's great in iced form with oat milk. I want to come back to try the food, based on these other reviews! This place is an oasis in the desert for sure.

For all you rock climbing enthusiasts, you won't have to go far to find great refreshments and food. You can visit RoKC to scale the tall wall and then stop into Apogee without even leaving the building.Lots of places are doing great pizza and maybe craft beer, but not every place is doing very well at both. Throw in the fact that Apogee is creating hand-crafted cocktails and kegging them up, and your afternoon or evening has all the makings of enjoyment.Drew was working the front end of the house during our visit, and he could not have been more welcoming and accommodating. I opted for an Irish Feather, Apogee's take on a horsefeather, and it was a spectacular cocktail. I talked to my wife into trying the Paloma, which is a grapefruit margarita that is finished with smoked mescal. The drink was a touch powerful (it was the smoke) for her tastes, so Drew, everpresent, hooked her up with a Paloma sans the smoke and she was ever so happy.The pizza was just right, crust holds the toppings, sauce to the edges, and cooked all the way through. That pizza had to weight three pounds, and two slices is ample for most appetites! It was more than enough to share and then split with a to-go box. Pro tip: Apogee's pizza is really good the next day, and anyone who went to college knows that next-day pizza varies greatly.Do your eats and dranks pre-climb or post, or just stop in for a beer (the local menu is well-represented) or coffee in the working adult hours. Apogee, by the very definition of the word, is 'the highest point in the development of something', and this place is *really* close to that pinnacle.

Second time in and as a customer I felt ignored, undervalued, and left frustrated without finishing one beer and leaving ZERO tip (which I literally never do). The customer service was non-existent. The young gal behind the bar was definitely capitalizing on her looks with the older gentlemen at the bar, who were obviously regulars by the rapport between them and the staff. The menu is small and unappealing and the beer selection even smaller. Their regulars can keep enjoying because I highly doubt they will be able to retain any new clientele. Tipping from me- typically between 20%-100% or my total bill. You never know who you are serving, lesson- treat every person that comes in front of you as a valuable guest!

Don't be weirded out that this place is attached to a rock climbing gym lol! Went for a late lunch with my mom and brother and we all really enjoyed our pizza and cheesy bread. Seems very homemade. Service was excellent.

There pizza was good. It was a nice place to catch up with a friend. The service was good too.

Delicious coffee and very friendly service. Cool atmosphere. Highly recommend trying this place out. I will definitely be back.
