Sway Coffee Roasters

This is a one of the successful coffee shop in KC I've been to. Once stepping in the shop, I can identify it has its unique culture. This is not easy to have a coffee shop forming its own culture and one unique vibe, composed by the customer and the staffs and the decors which cannot be 100% duplicate by other coffee shops if the location is not the same, the staffs are not the same and the type of the customer attracted by this cute place are not the same.It's cozy and laid back. Amazingly, even though lots of seated people, everyone respects each other and not talking super loud (or sometimes not even aware that they are loud) the material used for interior structure is not echo amplifier. So the music can be heard without effort. It reminds me of the coffee shop in New York and Boston, but with lots of great energy. I got the bacon and sausage quiche and matcha, I love that they can adjust the sweetness of Matcha! And the price point is worthy of their food and drink. I wish I found this place early, or it could have another one cultivate similar or another unique culture in my neighborhood.

Not a bad cup of hot latte.. in bourbon caramel flavor! They also make their own coffee Love the space and ambiance of the coffee beans. Spacious and inviting for simply remote work or just group hanging to enjoy coffee, espressos or baked goods.

Sway was a true delight! The shop presents a cozy, inviting ambiance with great coffee. The staff I encountered were all friendly and kind. They have good mix of comfortable seating. I noticed they added seating towards the back, which opens the space a bit. This would be a great place to work or chat with people.I tried the cinnamon roll affogato, pour overs of the Columbia and Ethiopian blend, as well as the bourbon caramel latte. I enjoyed the smoothness and aromatics of all the coffee drinks. The cinnamon roll avogato was a unique menu item of a fresh cinnamon roll with espresso poured over it.Things to be aware of is the limited parking space and the shorter hours (6:30-1:30pm).

Run don't walk for these cinnamon rolls! Hands down the best cinnamon roll I've ever had. Somehow they have perfected this recipe so that the outside is more croissant like and not the typical dry, over baked edges you find at most bakeries. The inside of the roll is and exquisite melt in your mouth combo of butter cinnamon and sugar. The generous dollop of cream cheese frosting ties it all together perfectly. Seriously treat yourself to this decadent treat and thank me later. Coffee is excellent as well and you can see the roasting facilities! If you've been to McLains's then you've already had their coffee. The overall ambiance has a Scandinavian vibe to it - open concept, very relaxed. Staff was incredibly welcoming as well!

I really love Sway coffee! Their beans are some of my favorite in KC! The shop itself is usually pretty quiet so I enjoy reading there when I can. Everyone there is always friendly.

This review is rough because when Sway first opened they were arguably one of the best coffee shops in the KC area. Since then, however, it's been downhill particularly over the last 12 months. The baristas are totally unconcerned with customer satisfaction, from the poorly made drinks or even attention to lines that form without them noticing. The roasted coffee, formerly a highlight, can't compete very well anymore. Overall, it's very disappointing but I can't see myself coming back again and I can't recommend it anymore.

A hidden gem. Offer fresh coffee and other beverages for non coffee lovers and a variety of flavors you can add. I had matcha and one of their ham and cheese croissant which you can tell was made fresh.

This is a super aesthetic coffee shop! There are tons of seating available if you wanted to sit and get a bit of work done. The only caveat is that the seats are a little uncomfortable for long work/study sessions and there is limited parking. There's a section where you can watch the employees roast the coffee. It was super interesting to watch and smelled amazing as they did! I got a simple hazelnut latte. There wasn't much of a wait even though only one barista was making all the orders. The coffee and aroma were really nice. I prefer my lattes to be a bit sweeter, so I had to add another sugar packet.

It was a rainy morning when I waltzed into Sway Coffee for a meeting, and to get some work done. First of all, there is something about the combination of a rainy day and coffee that just always works, so I was in a great mood to sample some new flavors that day. Honestly I loved everything about this place. The ambiance is coffee shop chic, but with some warmth added in. I felt very at home finding a small table to plug my laptop in and get some work done. I'll add that it was busy, but there were a few spots open for the taking. I think it's probably good to get here during an off time if you want to for sure snag a table to yourself. I also love the location. This little strip of 43rd street can often feel somewhat neglected so I'm grateful that they are adding in some local flavor here, and providing a great meet up spot for the folks that live right along here. Now to the coffee - it was fantastic! I honestly loved it, and to me was worth the cost of getting coffee out these days. 10/10 no notes. I'll be back.

As a tea drinker, I'm picky about my coffee shops! Sway is unique in the sense that every drink I order feels like it's made with love. Some of my favorites are the matcha and the London fog (they actually let the tea steep!!!!). They also have oat milk cold foam which I've never seen it at a coffee shop before. Overall - the service is great (shoutout to Bailey who's always so patient while I decide what I want) and the ambiance is the perfect quiet vibe for a work day.If you haven't checked out those local coffee shop - do it!
