The Most Scrumptious Coffee & Tea in Kansas City

Tous Les Jours

★★★★★ 4.5 (34)

"Good for Lawrence to have Tous Les Jours. This location is the best, even better than the location at Overland Park because it's more spacious and also has more options. Tous Les Hours has excellent desserts, although some may be too a little too sweet for my taste. Will definitely come back when I am in town."

Fretboard Coffee

★★★★☆ 4.4 (107) • $$

"We got two chais, one dirty. They were amazing. Perfect amount of cinnamon. The dirty chai even had a cute design on the top. Not the best chai latte I've had, but best I've found in Missouri"

"Everything is always fresh and tasty. Great service. Building is great for sitting with friends and talking. Nice beverage selection. Baked goods and cookies are always a favorite."

Over Flow Coffee House

★★★★★ 4.7 (66) • $

"I had never been here or even heard of this place but it popped up as a yelp recommendation and when it did, i couldn't resist after seeing the crepes! I came on a snowy Saturday afternoon. There were several customers but they had already ordered so we were able to order right away. After some consideration we got a bacon egg and cheese crepe and the nutella banana and a white christmas latte. The crepes were so delicious and glad we tried both! The latte was just ok to me but my companion enjoyed it. The employees were very sweet and friendly and the atmosphere was very welcoming and laid back. It seemed like the large group there was having some sort of meeting, others were reading or just talking quietly. They also have a patio which is always nice weather permitting. I enjoyed my visit here and most definitely will be back to have another nutella banana crepe and to try some of the other food items and drinks. I recommend!"

HomeGrown - Power & Light

"Stopped in for a quick brunch. Going on a weekday, it was less crowded than what I would expect for a weekend. I was seated quickly and the wait staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu offerings. I had a seasonal special in the carrot 'cakes, and they were delicious! Cheesy grits were excellent as well."

MiMi Milk Tea

★★★★★ 4.8 (16)

"We accidentally stumbled upon this boba cafe when we were doing a pop up next door. We are sooooo happy we did! Mimi is forsure my FAVORITE boba place in MO! It's small and cute but their boba is sooo good! Better than Bruu and Gocha imo. We live all the way in North KC but we'll travel all the way to blue springs just to get some Mimi milk tea."

Travelin' Tom's Coffee Truck

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"This truck was located at the KCMO Convention Center for the Natl Invitational Tournament (NIT) Womens Volleyball, 2/14-2/18/25. We ordered hot drinks in the morning: Dirty Chai Spiced Latte and Matcha Latte w/added salted caramel syrup. The DCSL came out first but had no latte. We let the barista know and then they found that the milk dispenser on their machine was empty. They were able to fix the drink and it was fine. The Matcha Latte was good too.In the afternoon I ordered 1 cold Matcha Frappe with added salted caramel syrup. They said that they didn't know if they could make that, and that they would try. Well, they made a delicious Matcha Frappe. I mean it's only the matcha powder with ice and milk blended...My drink was pretty good. They could have added a half scoop more of matcha powder but hey it was their first time. Overall, 16oz beverages for $7-10 is a good price for a tournament truck. Thanks!"

Serendipity Farm & Vine

★★★★☆ 4.2 (28) • $$

"I could have sworn, I posted my review of Serendipity Farm and Vine right after we visited, but alas I find it still in my reviews to complete and we have been here two times. The first time, we joined our neighbors for a sunny fall afternoon in November. We love these types of venues with various outdoor seating options, live music, drinks and snacks. This particular afternoon, the music was by Aaron Luccero. The staff was great in helping us learn about their wines, tasting and checking to see if we were doing ok. The place was nearly full this particular afternoon and we appreciated the attention. The concept of this location is fabulous! What a nice country setting. Both the indoors and outdoors provided great backdrops for hanging out and for pictures. I sent the pictures to my mom and she immediately wanted me to reserve one of the 'stalls' for an after Thanksgiving family gathering which I did. We reserved the Monarch 'stall' for our family event. We were larger than that space, so we also had the tall tables outside the stall. We pre-ordered the 'Signature Grazing Board' which is a beautiful display as well as enjoyable taste. As the rest of the family was new to visit Serendipity a couple of red and white wine flights were ordered along with a couple of bottles. For those who didn't drink wine, there were also ciders and beer. We really enjoyed our time.They do not allow dogs as they have their own dog and other live animals that roam the property and in the past there was an altercation. So, keeping the zen environment going, you cannot bring your pets. We own a dog and would have loved to bring him, but also are respectful dog owners and 100% respect their decision. Just enjoy your time with family, friends, co-workers without having to keep an eye on your pet.My rating is a 5+ Star for the overall experience: ambiance, live music, staffing, etc. Everyone's taste palettes are different so it's not fair to rate make the rating for Serendipity Farm and Vine strictly on the wine. We also visit and order wines form the Napa Valley region on a regular basis, so a rating compared to those isn't fair to Serendipity. This being said, we all agreed "Metamorphic Love" was a keeper.We will be back again either to reserve a 'stall' for our cul-de-sac gathering and for another sunny afternoon when those days are back. What a nice treat to have this kind of place to come"

The Roasterie Cafe - Kansas City

★★★★☆ 4.2 (160) • $$

"Was in Kansas City for work and some friends took me to The Roasterie Cafe! I loved this cafe and my drink! Going in, the giant airplane with the sign caught my attention; I'm always flying for work so it was a fun surprise to go to an aviation themed cafe! The interior is so spacious! I love that there's so much seating! I wasn't able to check out the tour but I would love to do that sometime soon! I like the unique drinks and lattes on the menu! I got the Crunched for Time (White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Latte) and it was delicious!!! Will definitely be back when I can!"

Ozark Coffee Company and Roastery

★★★★★ 4.8 (59) • $$

"What a great find thanks to Yelp again! Downtown Sedalia with plenty of parking in the area, this place is a true gem. Inside and out, the Ozark Coffee Company and Roastery has such a welcoming vibe, it's a must stop if you're in town and on the hunt for good coffee. Lots of things to look at and even more things you can try. I only wish we had found this place earlier in my trip. Definitely worth coming back for."

El Cafe Cubano

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"I love these specialty drinks at events. The pastries are unique and amazing. The pastries are not only tasty but beautiful. Setups are always beautiful for on the go coffee and eatery. Staff is sweet and I look for her website to see where she will be next. ."

Nostalgia Room

★★★★★ 5 (5)

"This is a genuinely interesting place, unlike any other in Lawrence. It is tempting to try many of the drinks on the menu, but if you do so, you may end up with sticker shock when you get the bill. Better to try a couple of drinks each time and return to try others.On some days, but not all days, they have bagels with a choice of spreads. If you want food with your drinks, I suggest you call to see if they have bagels on the day you plan to arrive. We were there on a Friday, and they did have bagels.Parking is less of a problem than downtown. There is diagonal parking on the street in front of the bar.Nostalgia Room is best known for its mixed drinks, and deservedly so. But we also tried the two wines on the menu, and we were surprised by how good they were. Non-alcoholic wines are improving in quality and sophistication."

Waterbird Coffee Company

★★★★★ 4.8 (32) • $$

"I've read good things about this place on yelp and despite the high praises, we were the only ones there aside from the barista a little before 10 on a Thursday. Must have been a slow day but I'm not mad about having the whole space to ourselves. There's an industrial retro boho vibe with lots of art decorating the walls here. The space is small but spacious and had lots of seating. I was unfamiliar with the type of music playing at the time but it was chill enough for us to make some calls and get some work done in the time we spent there. I'm a lavender latte girl and I've had my fair share of lavendar lattes across the country from when I did a west to east and back roadtrip and I can tell you from experience, they know how to make it right here. Syrups here are made in house! The menu is small but it's all the essentials with some flavor if you want!"

Norma's Diner

★★★★☆ 4.4 (10)

"We've been going to Norma's every Sunday since we moved here in Nov 2021. Sandra and Heather are the servers and they are the best! The owner, Jimmy is just the nicest guy... you'll see him out front a lot greeting and chatting with diners. The food is really good, and the cook is so accommodating to any special requests. The Veggie Skillet is my go-to and I love it. My husband asks for crispy bacon, and it always is. Prices are reasonable, and the place is always clean. What more do you need? This is a great small town dinner!"

Grounded Sole Coffeehouse

★★★★★ 4.5 (15)

"Love this hidden gem. I've lived in the area all my life but didn't know this spot was here until recently. Inside is a lot bigger than it appears on the outside. Lots of different seating types and even a private room for a larger meeting space. It's a beautiful space. Coffee was great. They have seasonal specials, house specials, and the standard drinks. They do a punchcard and the 10th drink is free, which is great. Barista was super nice and started a convo with me since it was on the slower side. Very pleasant and learned about the coffeeshop. It's a great place to get some work done. I do wish their hours were longer. Street parking available or a few spots in a private lot."

The Little Store & Cafe

★★★★★ 4.6 (16)

"I was in NKC at a meeting and when it ended I had about an hour where I needed to get some work done before heading off to another meeting further away. I asked the folks I was with if there was a good neighborhood coffee shop nearby where I could get some work done and I was pointed here. When I pulled up it looked really unassuming from the outside - it's sort of a repurposed old house, and it has strong neighborhood vibes. Needless to say I was excited to check this place out. You walk inside and you find yourself in one of the KC area's cutest coffee shops. Literally every bit of this place is charming. The only downside is that there aren't many indoor tables, but I was fortunate as it was late afternoon and I was able to snag a small corner spot to myself.The barista working was insanely kind, and overall, I just felt so lucky to have found such a gem to hang out at for a while. If I lived nearby I'd be here all the time. If you're ever in NKC and need a cup of coffee I highly recommend this local spot!"

River Reader

★★★★★ 4.9 (7) • $$

"Good coffee, good books, local business. What else do you need? Lexington, despite being a sleepy Midwest ( when did Midwest become a bad thing?) town, is surprisingly liberal. To open a business here you have to prove to the chamber of commerce that you are going to provide the town with something unique. You want to be a pizza place? Too bad there's already a pizza place here. Irish bar? Already have one. Sports bar? That would be fine. This is impressive because based on this simple philosophy, they were able to keep Walmart out of their town. They already had a clothing store. The already had a grocery store. And most importantly, they already had a book store. So thanks but no thanks Walmart, shove off. This place is small, but in a small town way. It's been recently renovated, but the owners were careful not to ruin the history that this old building holds. From the front windows in the shop you can plainly see the cannon ball, from a bloody civil war battle, that is stuck in one of the columns of the court house across the street. They remember you here. When you buy baked goods here, you can rest assured that they are home made, and better than anyone's mamma makes. Unless of course your mamma works here. They serve a unique brand of coffee here that is from Portland called Ravens Brew. The owner told me she had been serving Roasterie coffee, but their attitude towards her, a small business owner in a small town, was less than stellar. She felt she deserved better and good for her. The coffee they serve here is delicious. They make whatever fancy pants drinks here you want, all of them have gone through barista training, but I still love me some black coffee. They have a great children's section in this little place. There is also a smart selection of left winged books that one may not expect to find in such a small town. They pride themselves on their knowledge of the literature they sell here. Feel free to ask them questions. If there is one thing that separates a small town shop from a store in an urban area, it would be the sincerity of the staff when they ask you how you're day is going. It's unrealistic to suggest driving here just for a book, on a weeknight. I would strongly encourage anyone out there, with a day to spare though, to explore this beautiful old town. The city has done it's damnedest to remain a small town, despite pressures from corporate bullies as strong as Walmart. As time goes on, I think we'll find that there are fewer and fewer towns like Lexington. It's small, but all the store fronts are full of bustling businesses owned and operated by individuals, not overseen by some giant corporation thousands of miles away . For this reason alone, I think all the businesses in this little town deserve all the support that all of us "liberal" city folk can give them."

Two Sugars

★★★★★ 4.8 (32)

"Amazing!!! Had a breakfast sandwich and their Werther's Original and both were delicious. Our only complaint was the cheese on the sandwich. When you got to the middle it was cold. Would recommend requesting a longer toasting. Cute space. Delicious food. Lovely staff. 10/10 recommend and will come back!"

Opera House Coffee and Food Emporium

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (294) • $$

"We had a great time here we got a nice muffin got some coffee. It was around Halloween. They had our Halloween decorations up, which we thought was awesome. Because Halloween is our favorite holiday and it was great to see. Prices were good. Food was good."

Cafe Ollama

"This is such a cute cafe! They were super quick to make the order and even gave a great recommendation. I got one of the holiday drinks and it was a surprising combination of flavors in coffee. I really enjoyed it! I can't wait to try the others on the menu!"

Ten Twelve Main

★★★★★ 4.9 (15)

"I was visiting friends in Lexington, and we all went to Ten Twelve Main for dinner on Saturday night. We had a MARVELOUS time!Kudos to Natalie for taking my reservation; she was welcoming and friendly and let me know about a slight change in hours of operation for the evening, due to a Halloween celebration. And I have unfortunately forgotten the name of our server (she was wearing overalls as her costume, if that's helpful), but she was equally wonderful! Many thanks to her and the rest of the staff for their hospitality to our group, even though we got a little boisterous in our conversation. :-)Our food was EXCELLENT; I had the pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw, which was DELICIOUS, and my friends had the mushroom swiss burger, the classic burger, and the grilled cheese sandwich with turkey. They all agreed that everything was fresh and tasty. Ten Twelve offers a full bar, and my friends each had beer (one Yuengling and two Boulevard drafts), which were a perfect pairing for their meals.The restaurant is located in the original bank building downtown, and you can still see the original architectural details in the front façade, the high interior ceilings, and the preserved bank vault at the back of the dining area.For a casual experience with excellent food and service, you can't beat Ten Twelve Main! I'll be back, the next time I'm in Lexington."

Bear Necessities Coffee & Bar

★★★★★ 4.6 (45)

"Very good coffee and very friendly staff/owner. They use HUCK beans from Colorado. As far as a cup of Joey Drip goes, their drip for some reason is the best."

Garden House Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.4 (11)

"If sipping on coffee while surrounded by luscious plants is your ideal way to start a morning, then Garden House Cafe in Kansas City, Kansas is the spot for you! From floor to ceiling, this cafe is covered in beautiful and healthy plants. From coffee to cold brews and lattes, there is a a little bit of everything on the menu to pick between. There are some pastries to chose from, along with delicious breakfast burritos. We ordered our coffee and found a lovely spot in the back area to sit. The Garden House Cafe is a great location to work remote as well! Before you leave, check out some of the accessories and items for purchase - there are adorable earrings and plant stands to look at! If you have not had the change to check out Garden House Cafe, I highly recommend it!"

Ma Vic's Corner Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.4 (43) • $$

"Small diner with above par diner food Every time I have eaten here, it's busy. Friendly staff and good food. Eggs, toast and bacon are hard to mess up and are typically the same at most diners. The biscuits and gravy were great. Big portions and good flavor. Biscuits were cooked perfectly and the gravy was seasoned well. The Omelet was also flavorful and cooked well. We got one loaded with veggies and meat and I was concerned it wouldn't be cooked well with all the ingredients. But I was pleasantly surprised. Cons: took forever to get our food. Group of 6 approximately 40 minutes from order to table. Food -4Price -4Wait time -1"

The Market At Meadowbrook

★★★★☆ 4.1 (63) • $$

"The Market at Meadowbrook is the perfect local getaway. It was a "meet the girls and chat" kind of day. We centralized here, had a decision bite to eat, and then proceeded to walk the paths along Meadowbrook. There is lots of variety to choose from on the menu as well as a grab and go corner to select from. I opened for the goat cheese and beats salad. We all agreed that this little gem felt like we were somewhere along the coast on vacation. I will absolutely be back. Most likely my next work from home location."

Presotea Lawrence

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (24)

"I've been going to Ding Tea ever since they opened in Lawrence, though their hours and having to go downtown are sometimes inconvenient. I remembered reading about Presotea in the LJWorld, though just hadn't been able to try it.Decided to stop it while waiting for my take out from Little Saigon to be ready. The staff were happy to answer my questions about the different milk tea's they offer. The Panda milk tea came with white and black boba, something I'd never tried before, and was quite good. Sugar levels were adjustable (I can't stand 100% sugar in milk tea) and so was the amount of ice.Overall, a pleasant experience! If only they had punch cards like Ding Tea."

Hi-Way Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.3 (3) • $

"Exactly what a roadside diner should be. Good service, good prices, and great coffee. We've had breakfast here a dozen + times and it has always been good to very good. We will be back."
