    I'll definitely be back! Super cutesy with lots of seating options, they have out front street parking or a garage. I had the banana bread iced latte with oat milk, and I LOVE banana coffee so I try them anywhere it's offered, I'd say this was definitely in my top 5 best ones I've had! The breakfast burrito was fantastic as well! Loved all the cute art on the walls and the natural light. Definitely a great coffee shop !

    My boyfriend and I FINALLY made it to 1888. It has been on my list for months and it's been hard as a teacher to get time to come. I ordered the Carrot Cake Latte and he ordered a drip coffee. For food I had a breakfast flatbread and he had a plain bagel. The latte was everything I had hoped it would be. It was delicious, sweet and so yummy. I want to try their other drinks including their Cherry London Fog. BF said his drip coffee was good but that tends to be where he sticks on drinks. For the food, the flatbread was good sized, I would opt to share if you're not good and hungry as I left about 1/3 or so. Now for the service. When ordering our drinks and flatbread the service was amazing. Note my BF wanted toast but they do not have an option other than to take avocado toast and take all the stuff off. No way was he paying $7 for plain bread. Later we found through their online that he could get a plain bagel so he went and ordered it. 20 minutes later and a few check ins they finally bring the bagel. The person at the desk did bring him a coupon for a free drink that expired back at the end of 2025 so we are hoping they will still take it when we go back because it does not look promising. Other than this the service was good. I won't take a star off for this blip. The ambiance has not changed from the previous place but it was nice, clean and fairly quiet. I think it could get loud when really full but there were several people around and it was still a nice calm environment. We will be back for sure.

    I kept hearing good things about 1888 and when I finally routed myself here I was pleasantly surprised that it replaced Mother Earth Coffee as it was so nice to have a coffee shop in this spot. First things first, the coffee is great, and I had an easy time connecting to their wifi. I stayed and worked for a while and I'd definitely consider doing it again. The only reason I'm going with 4/5 is because the restrooms are around the corner and require a key to enter. I get it, it appears to be a shared space for the restrooms, but coffee tends to just run through me like water so it becomes a nuisance to ask a few times to use the key if you're working for a bit. I'd see if they could eventually replace with a code that refreshes or shows up on the receipt of your drink to make it easier for paying customers and baristas. Overall though, I'll certainly be back, but probably more for a quick stop than a long work stay.

    Once again another bang up job.. Dubai dream- strawberry and pistachio flavors, oat milk, two shots of espresso and light ice! I appreciate baristas who deliver the drink you ask for and the drink itself is so good! Thank you!

    Very cute seating area

    I recently visited a neighborhood coffee shop in Hyde Park (Midtown KC) and was impressed by its cozy atmosphere. Upon entering, I noticed vines hanging from the ceiling, stylish decor, and multiple areas for private conversations and seating, as well as workstations with plug-ins. I enjoyed a Pistachio Mocha iced, which was very good. The coffee shop also offers a variety of breakfast items, including breakfast burritos, breakfast sandwiches, and bakery items, as well as a lunch menu featuring flatbread pizzas, grilled cheese, turkey club sandwiches, and specialty coffee drinks. If you're looking for a comfortable and relaxing spot to enjoy solo, meet with friends, or simply grab a quick pick-me-up, this coffee shop is a great option. Located at 3504 Gillham Rd, it is open Monday through Friday from 6:30 AM to 4:30 PM and Saturday and Sunday from 6:30 AM to 2:30 PM. we were greeted and asked if there was anything they could help with just let him know.

    Okay, I thought I had my top 2 coffee favorites locked down...and then I tried 1888. My goodness you all are good! I went out on a limb and tried the Dr Pepper Latte (iced) and the bacon breakfast burrito and OOOOOOOOO they are both crazy good. It's right next to Bliss Books, so the perfect day would be to go to 1888 then over to read. There is a good amount of room to work, read, eat or whatever you need to do. It's a beautiful space with super helpful employees. You know you find a good one when you tell someone that it's your first time in and their eyes light up and they get excited to tell you about what they have, and that was my experience there. I'm so excited to come back and try more!

    Named for the year that George Kessler was commissioned to design Hyde Park; 1888 goes for a late 19th and early 20th century vibe with memorabilia from those eras scattered about the large space. Lots of room with natural lighting and an assortment of seating options inside and patio make 1888 a good place to meet-up or get some work done. I ordered from the specialty menu - Velvet Caramel iced. A nice beverage for a hot day and for spending $9 w/tax for a beverage it should be. The baristas could be a bit more friendly / welcoming but they weren't rude. Street and garage parking available.

    I've been here a couple of times now. There are many unique options for coffee, tea, and baked goods. I They have merchandise near the front as you walk in. The staff are great and greet you as you walk in. We sat on the comfy couch by the entrance and noticed a book regarding Kansas City's history. We enjoyed looking through the book at all the before pictures and comparing them to now.

    I love the cozy atmosphere here--it has such a good vibe that you could come every day. The food and drinks are a bit pricey for a coffee shop, but the Coconut Matcha is definitely worth it--especially with oat milk, it's my favorite! I also tried one day the turkey melt sandwich, which was a little sweet for my taste, other day I tried , the lox bagel, bacon bagelwich were delicious!

    the pros: cute inside and lots to choose from on the menu. the cons: parking and prices. they can pretty much make any drink but the add on prices are outrageous. it doesn't help that everything is so so expensive already either. i got the lavender latte and it tasted off, but that could be because i forgot to get oat milk instead of whole milk it seemed super busy though so maybe i didn't order the right thing but i probably won't be back anyway

    LOX & bagel

    This place is busy busy busy, but I can see why. It's deceptively small looking but there are actually quite a few tables - most of them with electrical outlets. A nice cozy decor here - lots of natural light but with dark furniture - so not too bright and not too dark. The LOX & bagel as well as the Turkey & Fig sandwich were both delicious, and the drinks equally as good. Will be back soon!

    Hi everyone, It's me again and I just have to shout out 1888 Coffee House! Their matcha is by far my favorite as they've consistently delivered amazing drinks every single time. I've been there almost every day this week because it's just that good! Not only do they have incredible matcha options for me, but their coffee keeps my boyfriend coming back as well. Today, in addition to our usual order, we tried the Strawberry Matcha and it was good! It reminded us of Neapolitan ice cream with that sweet strawberry flavor mixed throughout. Personally, I'm more of a fresh strawberry fan, but we still enjoyed it. That said, the Toasted Coconut Matcha is hands down the BEST I've had. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

    Lovely new coffee spot Near hyde park! There's a parking garage right next to the location which makes parking a breeze. Entering there's plenty of specialty drinks, seating, and fast wifi! Specialty coffee is on the sweet side, nonetheless they were yummy. Vegan friendly - ask for no cold foam on the specialty drinks!

    How have I not yet reviewed Crow's Coffee? It feels criminal to have been Yelping so long and have…read moreoverlooked this wonderful local spot! At any rate, where to start? I remember back in 2011 when I worked at the Nelson we were absolutely starved for a great local coffee house to open up nearby. We had Latte Land on the plaza but parking over there was always nuts and to just pop in and grab a coffee we'd often end up over at KCAI. When Crow's opened while I was away in graduate school I remember my former colleagues gushing about it - saying it had finally happened and a good shop had opened. They weren't wrong. Here we are, probably 10 years (ish) since they first opened their doors and they are still serving the need for fantastic local coffee in this part of KC. On my most recent visit I popped in for a coffee to take with me to a meet at UMKC and I was reminded at how great this spot is. While there are many more great coffee options nearby these days you can't fail to remember Crows and I look forward to my next visit!

Even with the crowd it was not noisy at all and I was able to settle in and get plenty of work done. I ordered an iced oat milk latte with an extra shot of espresso and it was delicious. The coffee flavor really came through and was perfectly prepared. The staff was also very friendly and helpful which made the experience even better. I will definitely be back.

We loved the little set up with a great amount of seating, a clean bathroom, and outlets for people who want to study or get some work done. We were a little hungry and got the empanadas and both tried the Yerba mate. We've never had the traditional yerba mate and were excited we could try it here. Once our order was ready one of the employees was happy to explain to us how to properly drink the yerba mate. She was patient, kind, and professional the whole time. There's definitely a trick to drinking it without getting the tea leaves through the straw. As we enjoyed our snack and drink we could tell the caffeine kicks in a little later. So, if you're up to trying traditional yerba mate, be aware that you'll get a gradual burst of energy a little later. I personally loved the decor and the atmosphere here. They had little knick knacks you could purchase, a small refrigerator with items to take with you as well. I got a couple of key chains for my sister and myself and my boyfriend and I have already noted that we want to come back here the next time we're in Kansas City!
