This place is very busy on Sunday mornings but the line goes quick and you don't have to wait long for your coffee and food to be ready because they have several friendly faces working behind the counter. I just got lattes to go each time. I tried out seasonal flavors and both were good. If you like plants and are looking for a nice community space, check this spot out.

I ended up ordering a Latte and a ham and cheese melt. For the space being on the smaller size they had a large food and drink menu for a coffee shop.

There are so many amazing coffee shops in the kansas city area, and every time I try a new one it…read morebecomes my favorite. This one was no exception, but I do believe it might remain the reigning champion. First of all it is a coffee shop in the basement of a church, and its name implies that it is religious. So the reviews that act surprised or give lower ratings for that reason are silly gooses. The ambiance is outstanding! It is a whole vibe. You are surrounded by books, some of the tables have pew seating, there is a kids area, they sell T shirts cheap ($7) and used books at an amazing deal. New books are priced as marked with regular retail pricing. I was shocked at the number if new hooks they had. The crowning jewel for me was they have natural house made (or local bought) syrups so you are not getting a run of the mill commercially based anything. I expected that to limit their menu but it didn't! I had the caramel crunch chai, hands down best chai I have ever tasted. I wanted to chug it. My friend loved her drink that had winter mint! I also splurged on a winter pomegranate spritz and cake pops to go. This is a coffee shop where you come in, slow down and enjoy the experience. I do not recommend this place if you want a quick coffee to go. The Barista was exceptional and she put time and effort into each drink. She did get backed up because she was all alone when a coworker called in and got slammed! She was clearly overwhelmed but never once rushed a conversation or made any of the customers feel like she didn't have time for them. Rare beauty in this rushed world we live in. She encouraged checking out the gorgeous sanctuary and stained glass windows upstairs in the sanctuary and shared stories about them. I never once felt like I was in a church basement- if that makes sense. It was warm, cozy and inviting. This is my new weekly spot! PS the kids area has a full tote of scrapbooking stuff, and the tables all have cards where you can write up a handwritten note and they send them of somewhere to spread joy and kindness. It does not get better than this.

I had assumed that Holy Grounds Coffee had taken the former St. James Catholic Church and created a…read morecool coffee shop in the building. The last I knew that the space had been an events / wedding hall, a B and B and vacant. Little did I know was that it had been reformed as an Anglican church and the coffee shop was being ran by the church in the basement. The vibe was just kinda weird...it's basically a cluttered Christian book store and gift shop serving coffee and sandwiches. The staff were polite but not very welcoming; I felt like I was intruding on a private function that didn't want me there. I took my Mocha Cream Breve' and went out on the patio for some views of the beautiful historic structure. When asked about their source for coffee beans, I was told "we get em from someplace in Arkansas". OK!?? I'm sure that some demographic here in the bible belt will find this basement quaint and charming, but it just gave me a desire to go spend my money at a more secular venue.

I'm eager to see them open a second location in Gladstone soon.

They were super busy with only 2 people working and the service was outstanding. A 3rd person started working not long after I got there and all 3 were super friendly and full of smiles. I was so impressed. They stand out from other coffee shops for so many reasons. I love the Christian ministries they support. They have prayer wall for prayer requests. They have a little used book donation library that you can donate to or buy from. They have tons of kids games and puzzles and even a few adult games and puzzles for groups. Another thing that stood out for me was their food offerings. CREPES! So many delicious choices of crepes it was hard to choose. I ended up going with the bacon egg and cheese. It was the most keto friendly although I'm certain they use flour. I totally forgot crepes weren't keto because I make them at home without flour. The crepes were delicious. I got a shatto chocolate milk and a peach pop tart for my daughter. I was hoping she'd want the banana Nutella crepes so I could try them lol. They have a keto coffee that is wonderful. I'm a little disappointed that their website says they offer a stevia chocolate syrup but they don't actually have that choice in the shop. They did have stevia packets though to add to my keto coffee.

Luckily, led by store manager, Nellee, the team at this Liberty location went above and beyond in customer service to effectively communicate and deliver the last two Hello Kitty plush toys for my girlfriend. This store, the busiest in the area, was so kind and welcoming to my girlfriend and made sure that they delivered great hospitality and newly-dropped Peppermint Mocha magic for us and the constant flow of customers all morning long. I just wanted to take a moment to personally thank Nellee and the female-powered team at this location for going above and beyond during this particular visit. The store is light, bright and stocked with holiday cheer, able to handle the hustle and bustle of walk in and drive-thru traffic as we kick off this busy time of year. Our hot and cold Peppermint Mocha drinks were tasty and personalized with uplifting messages to start our day. Plenty of parking in a busy retail storefront location.

This is their third shared location inside of a Family Tree Nursery. The idea is wonderful; I mean who doesn't enjoy being inside a greenhouse surrounded by beautiful plants, flowers, trees and succulents - maybe the only smell that beats the aroma of coffee! Unfortunately this location does not have indoor seating, which was a bit of a drag on this cool rainy morning. I enjoyed wandering around sipping my beverage, but I really had planned on sitting and relaxing for a spell. My beverage today was a specialty drink - The Pollinated Lavender Latte. It was just as delicious to drink as it was bougie to pronounce. Honey, pollen, house made lavender syrup and several shots of espresso gave me energy and a reason to carry on through the rain. If the bees, coffee and lavender plants have to endure the weather to bring me this decadent drink, then surely I can face the storm and make it a positive experience. I will definitely enjoy returning here and sitting outdoors, but only on perfect weather days.
