It surrounded by windows, which is nice and they have a cool overhead display of tons of white coffee mugs at varying he suspended above. The coffee was good, my husband had a hot honey badger latte with oat milk, and I had an iced honey badger latte with oat milk. We both enjoyed them. The service was not very good. I originally went to the counter to pick up a menu and look at it before we walked over since my grandson was playing in the children's area. I wasn't even standing by the cash register, but standing to the side and the young girl that worked there was rude and asking if I needed anything. I just told her that I was looking at the menu prior to coming back to order and then asked about any syrup for a tea. So then eventually, we did go back and she was rude that time, but not only to me but pretty much everyone that walked up there. She was the only worker so I don't know if she felt overwhelmed, even though there wasn't a ton of people coming up there or if that was her regular attitude. But barista's make up a good portion of whether people enjoy a space. The table and chairs were contemporary basic and for some reason in that particular coffee shop I felt like everyone was on view and really didn't seem like you had privacy. So we chose to take our coffee into the Knies library area against a large window that overlooked prairie, grasses, and wildflowers and enjoyed it there. So I would say a five star for the coffee, but it's getting a three star for the barista, the two times that I interacted with her and the seating.

Felt like I had just walked into an old high school field party but much more refined with coffee instead of kegs. Lol. They had so many coffee flavors to choose from. I ended up going with amaretto because it is impossible to find elsewhere. The coffee was spectacular. Someone noticed that I was trying to catch up with a friend and brought a coloring book out for my 5 y/o. Very much appreciated. All the staff was more than helpful, recommended drinks and were always giving out smiles. So happy my friend introduced me to this place. It is also Veteran owned and they give a Veterans discount.

The place itself has a lot of comfy seats, a lot of space to set your food and drinks down along with a laptop or note books, and the bathroom was clean which is always a plus! They have a drive through or you can go inside, the service inside was fast and the food and drinks were great! 10/10 experience!

The shop itself was very busy with people meeting, working and just enjoying each other's company. The two employees working behind the register were super friendly and answered all the questions I had. I like that they source their pastries and breakfast items from other local places in the Kansas City area. I had a cold brew with honey butter and pumpkin cold foam on top. It was absolutely delicious, with the right amount of sweetness from the cold foam to balance everything. i also tried a sausage breakfast burrito, which was huge and big enough for two people. I can't wait to come back and try some of their other seasonal drinks.

I added some cinnamon sprinkle on top and they suggested adding mocha drizzle it was perfect. Everyone is always so friendly when I come in. I sat somewhere new cause some was sitting in my sunny window seat and it was peaceful per usual. Today was especially nice because I think there was a Christian playlist was playing and it was something I needed and didn't know Not sure if I was talking to a manger or not but I suggested adding a gluten because who doesn't love a snack with their coffee. Hopefully today I convince them to get a gluten pastry .

They have added Messenger Coffee drinks and expanded their pastry and small bite savory items with a seperate menu. It was a bit confusing for my first time visit, which door do I enter? Do I order at the kiosk? Do I wait to be seated? Some signs would surely help. After wandering around in both dining rooms and looking at a menu at the kiosk, I was finally approached and was seated in the cafe. The room has a relaxed feel with cozy chairs and tables, a few plants and books and some comforting classical music playing. I was immediately brought a water glass by my stylishly dressed waiter. I started asking a few questions about the menu, when he asked me to follow him to the other room where I could see the variety of baked goods in the glass warming case. I made my selection and was soon brought my ham and cheese Medialuna (small croissant), a Fat Biscuit (baked rolled dough) and my cappuccino. Pricing is a bit high but the service and atmosphere was above average and the vibe was relaxing after I understood the ordering system, and the menu was unique. A great little coffee / brunch option for the Tiffany Springs / Zona Rosa / MCI area.

Then as we were putting our coats on and cleaning up our table to leave, he turned the lights off on us and left us in the dark, even though there were still employees there behind the counter working. When we said, 'We're putting our coats on, you don't have to turn the lights off on us, that's really uncalled for,' he responded curtly with, 'I already told you to leave,' followed by a cold look. He treated us in about the most unfriendly, unprofessional, harsh way you could treat polite customers who frequent here. There is a right way and a wrong way to go about letting customers know the establishment is closed and they would like you to leave. Especially after we spent $18 on 3 drinks (one was a small toddler drink). This was the very wrong, rude, unprofessional way to go about it. He was very cold and short in the manner he spoke to us and treated us, even in looks he was giving us. It was like he was taking his bad day out on us or something. If you're going to work in customer service, especially at a manager level, this is completely unacceptable, inappropriate, unprofessional behavior and a very rude way to treat loyal customers. We will never come back here because of his behavior, and we'll find another place to meet and have coffee with our friends. There are plenty of coffee shops where managers don't treat their customers this poorly.

The iced snickerdoodle latte is incredible, I definitely suggest it. The space is large, and very comfortable to work in.

The place gets busy with young families and children screaming mid-morning, at least on Sundays. (Maybe less so during the week.) They play religious music, which aligns with their business and decor.

Not only do they always have some amazing seasonal drinks that they rotate out, but their normal drinks are also amazing!

Every single person that works in here is sweet as can be, but Theo has to be one of my favorites! He is always in such a positive mood if I come by in the mornings and it always puts a smile on my face when hes in the window. The owners are also extremely kind, and I always enjoy their happy vibes when I come by before work. My favorite drinks have to be their seasonal christmas cookie latte, the orange cardamom latte, and the Fresh Thai Tea with some espresso added!
