Iced lavender vanilla latte. Too milky and sweet for my taste.

Clean with cute and minimal decoration. The staff are nice and provide good recs. We loved the food and coffee. We both had seasonal drinks: white chocolate peppermint latte and mojito espresso tonic - we loved both.I love foofoo drinks but am often disappointed because they are too think or rich. Not here. I thought they were perfect.We also had the gochujang sausage burrito. It was excellent! I highly recommend!

Went on a coffee tasting run recently in KC. To base my reviews, I will say that I have my own espresso set up at home, and have tried coffees across the nation from SF to NYC.Chingu coffee was alright. Got a matcha latte and a cortado - I appreciate that they completed latte art for my cortado. I feel like when a cafe takes the effort to do latte art, the overall barista experience and skill is higher, which is reflected in the taste of the coffee itself. I'll say that the coffee was fine - on par with what I could make at home. Price was reasonable. Matcha latte left a lot to be desired in my opinion. Not much matcha flavor, and overall was dominantly milk.Both drinks came out quick. There was enough seating inside, and it's relatively cozy as well. I could see myself getting a coffee and completing some work or doing some reading inside.

So yummy! Super simple and cute shop, lots of light that comes through for a light ambiance. Coffee is just what I wanted, they could even do sweet cream foam for me which I loved! Definitely will be coming back, especially since it is only 2 mins from work, SCORE!!!

This small coffee spot in the west plaza neighborhood is the perfect addition to the area. It is attached to Bat Boys sandwich spot which makes it a convenient stop. I ordered the honey cappuccino and it was perfect. The beans are strong but are not bitter or burnt. The cappuccino came out with some of the best foam art I have seen in a while. Highly recommend.

Another great coffee spot amongst many in the KC area. They have some of their own flavored syrups if you want to make things interesting, but otherwise nice straight forward menu. They also offer pastries, not sure if they are made in house or from a local bakery. I went with the matcha latte and added an espresso shot (try it if you've never had it). Bonus points, their latte art was immaculate.

Chingu Coffee had been on my radar for a while when I stopped in for a meeting last fall. I wasn't totally sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed this little cafe. First of all it's located in west plaza so the location is nice. Just off the business of the plaza shops and it's attached to Bay Boy Sandwiches, another one of my local faves. While the drinks they offer do have a Korean twist to some of them, the cafe itself has a very modern American coffee shop vibe. It's not big inside but it's large enough to find a table to work or meet with someone if you time it right. What made this a 5 over a 4 Star for me was the specialty latte I had and the service. The drink had a great flavor profile and wasn't overly sweet while still packing some unique flavors. The staff was approachable and kind, which you don't always find at hip little shops like this. In short: I'll be back!

If you're looking for a chill neighborhood coffee shop to work in, look no further than Chingu Coffee. It was quiet on a Tuesday morning, but it picked up by 9:30 am. The staff was friendly, and they have regulars that stop in, which was cute to see.There are plenty of two-tops and bar window seating to post up, but there are also some larger group (4-ish seat) tables available. There are a couple of outlets, too, but only at some tables. I can't imagine anyone wouldn't want to share a plug, though. I didn't take any video meetings here, but the Wi-Fi ran just fine with me and four other people working.On to the coffee. I had a seasonal iced latte with orange thyme and a kimchi Danish. Both were good, but I would've preferred the Danish to be a little more kimchi-forward. However, I understand not everyone wants chunky fermentables. If you're here working long enough, you might see the foot traffic pick up for Bay Boy in the back of the space. I didn't make that decision to stay for lunch but I am mildly regretting it.

I'll skip to the ending..... come on in. The coffee is good, the flavors are good, the pastries were good, and the burritos are great. I wasn't thinking that rice in a burrito would be good, but it was light and fluffy.....and the sauce is to die for. The counter staff was polite and attentive. The physical space works fine. The only issue I could come up with is parking. I didn't have any issues, however you may have to park down the block on the side streets.

I was excited to try this Korean-owned coffee shop, but was disappointed that their menu didn't have anything Korean inspired. I got their matcha latte w/ lavender add and it was very matcha flavored, watered down, and I didn't taste any lavender...I'm hoping they'll get some Korean lattes!Parking is difficult and only has street parking. They're connected to Bay Boy and have some seating with tables.

This place is poppin! I went on a Friday morning and almost all the tables were full. Great, bright indoor space with different seating options. The specialty cold brew was excellent and so was the service. Great experience!
