Headrush Roasters Coffee & Tea

I don't usually like to leave reviews that are negative, but I have tried this place multiple times and just don't understand the hype. How can a business fix something if they don't know it's broken. Location is so perfect for me to frequent more often, but I tend to drive past due to past experiences. Walked in Monday midday for a treat, only to be ignored for several minutes. A quick hi can go a long way if busy, yet they weren't what I'd even call busy. Ordered the special Winter coffee from the menu, which sounded delicious. It was not. We cannot figure out what they do to make it taste so bitter. It almost tastes burnt. With very little actual flavor. We sat in the dining area for a bit, which is cute with the photography and artwork, both of which I like to diddle in myself. Yet, it's missing a cozy vibe. There is plenty of cool merchandise you can purchase on the side walls, but that doesn't sound appealing if the coffee is lacking. We have in the past tried the baked goods also, but they were dry and didn't taste fresh, so we didn't order them this round. I looked at my husband and we both agreed this would be our last time trying to make this place something that it wasn't.

Never disappointed whether I go to the Briarcliff location or this one. Some of the best options of coffee and matcha around, along with many tea options for purchase. The staff are always friendly and smiling. The place is kept clean and with art to admire while you wait for your coffee. The drive thru window is cute too! I make the 20 min drive at least once a month now. Worth it! The hojicha coffee and the blueberry matcha are definitely my favorites so far.

Best coffee in KC! Love all their sugar free options. Definitely check it out if you're in the area

Nice quaint & friendly coffee shop! Our drinks were delicious! The matcha is one of the best ones I've had in a while. (Iced lavender matcha with whole milk) 10/10 recommend! My husband got the Vanilla Rush hot & loves it. We even stopped by closer to closing than we realized & they were so nice & happy to serve us! Thank you :)

This place is a gem of a coffee shop in Gladstone! They have a small building with ample seating and a gallery attached to it. There are fresh and roasted beans, snacks, merch, and pastries that look absolutely phenomenal! Today I got the hot blueberry matcha (probably the highest quality you can get around here) and felt super energized by it! Not too sweet with excellent flavor. The service was top-tier and always friendly. Go try 'em out for your next drink break!

One of the best little coffee shops I've been to since moving to Kansas City a little bit out-of-the-way but completely worth it

Finally I find another coffee place so comfy and quiet enough to sit and enjoy the sip! I didn't realize I've been here. The first time I was introduced here it was during the COVID shutdown era. The take out coffee was great, but then I forgot out this place until today. I came in around lunchtime on Friday. This time here is perfect. The lighting, the music, the noice level, the seating, and the space atmosphere are all perfect for studying, for conversation (the voice volume shows respect to other costumers) or just like me enjoy my "me time" using smart devices, lol. They roast their coffee in house, so sometimes the machine working sound can be heard. But that explains why they have such great quality coffee. They also have variety of tea options!However, their pastries section is not the best. The pastries items are pretty much the same as those provided by big supplier.I would recommend this place for their high quality coffee!

Great coffee. Ambiance is nice. Several places to sit for privacy. Very friendly. Easy location

I think this is a "coffee shop that took over a Mexican restaurant", type of situation. And I'm here for it. I love that they have a drive-thru, always makes mornings more convenient. But today I decided to stop in. First off I was greeted by the sweetest barista. Customer service is definitely on point as she was patient kind made recommendations and answered my questions. I was directed to try the fall menu, on which everything sounded amazing! I ended up getting the Harvest Moon matcha which has vanilla and pumpkin spice. I also got a small 8 oz hot orange cardamom latte. The vibe inside is very chill. It's a small space but they've made use of every corner with sale retail space, art, photos and some plants lining the back wall. The matcha was delicious and I think they actually have the most extensive matcha menu I've seen in KC. I love all the flavor options!

I don't like coffee or tea, but everyone always forces me to go to these places because they like coffee. So I went and bought a cinnamon roll, and it was the best cinnamon roll I've ever had!!! I will be back for that.
