Hi Hat Coffee

Hi Hat has still got it! In the metro where we often find big strip malls, ever-widening highways, bigger houses, sprawling city limits, Hi Hat Coffee serves as the perfect antidote to this affliction by serving coffee in a cozy, homey environment. Gently tucked into the West Plaza and Westwood Hills neighborhood, this place has become perfection for me and my little family.I would say it's like grabbing a coffee from your kitchen, but it's more appropriate to say it's like hanging out in the little breakfast nook as you read the paper. This place is incredibly tiny, but everyone easily rolls with it as it adds so much charm.Their baristas are often friendly, and the coffee is fantastic. I love their drip and iced coffees, but this is also one of the few spots where I'll opt for some sort of specialty latte on occasion. The Nutty Irishman (hazelnut and almond, I believe?) and and Bee-Hive (honey and cinnamon) are popular and fantastic, iced or hot. The coffee still shines and they're never overly sweet. I would suggest adding an extra shot of espresso for the larger size.The patio April-October is magical. Good energy and old friends catching up.For me, based on proximity, vibe, quality, and that special, hyper-local flare of Hi-Hat, this is my favorite coffee shop in Kansas City. Keep doing what you're doing Hi-Hat!

HiHat was a charming coffee shop with pastries and a diverse menu of drinks. I appreciated the area it's in as it's clean and quiet with other shops next door to explore while you enjoy your coffee. I tried the Golden Latte and loved it. The service was efficient and friendly. I will definitely return!

Originally an old 66 gas station this adorable coffee shop in Westwood has become a local favorite. Service was great. Didn't try any of the pastries but they looked delicious. Coffee was yummy. The patio is so adorable!

Excellent and flavorful espresso in the latte. The Oat Milk adds creamy texture. Excellently made.Hi Hat was busy today. There were local regulars, and the two baristas were friendly and efficient.The baristas form relationships with their regular customers and they even come back when in town. Baristas are also friendly and welcoming to not so regulars. It has been at least 8 years since I last went to Hi Hat.The outdoor seating area is wonderful and welcoming.In a world if drive thru coffee, it is worth parking and going into this cute Cafe to get your coffee.The baristas even make designs in the foam. You don't get that at a drive thru.

Hi Hat Coffee is a unique establishment that made a lasting impression on me after my first visit. The coffee was delicious, but what really stood out was the cozy ambiance. I visited on a chilly, rainy fall Saturday morning and the atmosphere, with only a few people and their dogs in sight, felt like something out of a romantic comedy movie. You know the type? The service was exceptional, and I highly recommend visiting this place if you get the chance.

I love their coffee! Their seasonal drinks are always great, and the vibes are amazing inside. Sitting outside on a chair on a fall day is such a cozy experience. Baristas are always kind and have recs for you, definitely recommend!

A cute and quaint little coffee shop. No indoor seating as it is extremely small, but that's the fun about it. Perfect for a beautiful day to sit outside and sip coffee. Lots of delicious flavors to choose from and even a few pastries available. This is one of my fav places in KC and I enjoy bringing new friends with me to check it out.

Always friendly, always feels like home. Deliciousness & The artwork was impeccable (especially using Oatmilk) and the latte was bomb. So sad I am forgetting the Barista's name, forgive me, but I believe it was Erin. Thank you for your skills!

I came here for a late night hot latte was so impressed by the staffs friendliness! They asked me about my day how I was doing and weren't scared to strike a conversation with me. I enjoyed their presence while they made me such a tasty drink with this cold front coming!

Hi Hat Coffee is one of the most unique coffee shops in all of North America! If you are remotely close and want some great coffee, you have to try this place. You will be so glad you stopped!!
