Take Care by Oleo

Incredibles lattes here. I had one two days in a row and both times it was delicious. You can tell they use high quality espresso and chocolate (I get mochas). It was perfectly balanced and not too sweet. A great spot for coffee! I also tried their biscuit cinnamon roll which was stellar!

Absolutely love. The ambiance is so fun and rustic. It really does feel authentic and as though it has been there for many many years. They know what they're doing with the coffee and the baked goods smell so overwhelmingly good I'm not sure how I was able to turn it down. Next time I won't be so tame I can tell you that. One thing I would love to see is a little bit more on the tea front. There weren't a ton of options in that regard (Matcha/Earl Grey/etc.) which may be by design, but I'd probably be visiting more if those options were available! That being said, they did recommend the Spirit Tea and I really enjoyed it! Photo forthcoming because it was so cute. I appreciated the advice from the barista and always love trying something. So much love for Take Care & OLEO!

Crossroads cafe has a nice space. I ordered a 20 oz iced caramel latte light ice, they only offer oat milk as alternative to whole milk so I stuck with the cow. Oat milk has an off taste in lattes. Initially the cup was filled to the rim with ice before I pointed it and hit 1/3 of the cup full. I'd rather have more latte than ice, otherwise it's not a 20 oz drink of latte but ice, water and espresso.The drink didn't have much flavor or espresso to me. I even asked for more caramel. I also got their cinnamon biscuit. It was dry.Service was good. Very laid back, helpful and pleasant staff!

The first thing I liked about this cafe was the smell I got after walking in. The decor was very homey with farm house style. The espresso was good but they also had drip coffee and tea available. The barista was kind and also pointed out their seasonal specials The biscuit was sturdy and buttery. They have plenty of sweet options but I got the Cinnabiscuit which was more on the biscuit side and had a sweet syrup topping which was really tasty.

I can only ever say positive things about this place! The staff are top notch, beans are so fresh and full bodied and the atmosphere is classic and cozy! My go to is the iced or hot steens latte with a biscuit and their house made strawberry jam! The staff are so kind and patient and put forth their best effort to make a wonderful drink. I would highly recommend take care to anyone visiting or local!

Good coffee and great aesthetics in a prime location--if you're looking for a fun spot to hang out, you've gotta check out Take Care by Oleo. They also have tons of seating and great staff. BUT 3 stars. The food *really* leaves something to be desired. I've tried the TC Biscuit with Pear-Chai Jam and the Masa Chocolate Chunk Cookie, and both were pretty disappointing. The TC Biscuit was good but not better than your standard Popeye's fast food biscuit, and the jam with it tasted more like holiday spice cinnamon jam than chai, which usually has an aroma of cardamom. The edges of the Masa Chocolate Chunk cookie were great, but the middle masa (what tortillas are made of) portion tasted like mouthfuls of dense, salty tortilla mix.This isn't a great place to stick around and work either due to the lack of outlets available. All that said, would still come back for the coffee, the ambiance, and the people. If you're looking for a cafe with good food and coffee, check out Cafe Corazon, Messenger, and Hitides.

Another case of why in the world is this the first time I'm coming here. The biscuits are.. the best I've ever had. I love the jam collaboration with the antler room. My chai was delicious and I will 300% be back. Like maybe tomorrow.

Take Care by Oleo may just have my favorite decaf latte in Kansas City, and I've tried a lot of lattes. Here, the focus on high-quality espresso is noticed. The taste of this decaf espresso is incredible. Be warned, though, if you want a sweet coffee, turn around at the door because this is a no frills type of coffee menu. The honey latte is balanced impeccably with subtle sweetness from natural honey paired with freshly packed and drawn espresso, which on its own is inherently bitter. Now, if you're an almond milk drinker like me, you won't find any here - they do have oat milk, though. On this trip, I pre-apologized to my tummy and went all natural with whole milk, and the creamy dreamy dairy swirled together with the shots of slightly sweetened espresso was the definition of a simple pleasure. Also, the decor here is so well curated that it's like you are in part coffee shop part vintage Americana exhibit. Or, it's like the coolest flea market booth that also happens to serve coffee and pastries. The old wooden floors, the lunch counter style coffee counter, the different displays of old-time memobealia, the overalls proudly displayed on the wall... there isn't one thing I don't like here. Its clean as well as decorated at the same time, and it's not overdone but it's done right. Also, there's a patio that shares Grinders Crossroads courtyard so you can sip on your coffee and soak up some sun (and maybe if you're lucky catch a soundcheck). Next time, I'm definitely getting the cheddar apple scone I spied because I adore a savory scone, and sometimes they can be hard to find! It looked scrumptious.

When I take my daughter to her softball events I always look for a coffee shop. Oleo was not far from her field and thank goodness for that. The Latte was amazing. Just simple vanilla but so so fresh and tasty. You can tell everything was made with care and good ingredients. I also got a cheddar apple scone with a biscuit- super delicious and tasty. The employees were incredibly friendly made me feel very welcome. The vibe of this place is definitely a plus. Located right in the middle of the city. I love discovering places places like this!!

I had never been and decided to check it out on this chill Sunday afternoon. Stepping in it's very warm and inviting as well as the employees. I was treated with extreme kindness. I felt very welcomed and regret not sitting down there to eat. Trying the cinna-biscuit (which who would have thought to combined those two things?!) was AMAZING. Absolute great taste and texture profile. And the chai tea was one of the best I've had in a really long time. You can tell they care about their customers. I'll have to start being a regular when walking around the crossroads! Would 100% come back again.
