They are usually understaffed unfortunately, so the wait may be a bit but it's totally worth it. Mimi is the sweetest lady who is usually working there. She is amazing! I love that they don't skimp on the coffee in the drinks. They have all the standard coffee/espresso fare, plus rotating flavors. The Marshmallow Rose Latte and the Biscoff Latte are standouts. And the chicken salad sandwich is fabulous! Destination Coffee is inside Oak Park Mall, near Aldo on the main level. Worth the trip!

Needed 3 sugars to even start to taste the syrup flavor. The workers were nice but took a bit. Only had two people working and maybe 3 drinks had been ordered and it took around 10 minutes which seemed long. They had a small cramped seating area right beside it otherwise they have an ikea furniture display next to it that you can sit on. Personally I wouldn't come back unless it was my last resort.

I ordered and had my drink within a minute, and my food came out shortly after. I ordered the Vanilla Sky specialty latte and the Sunrise sandwich. The latte was pretty mediocre, not bad but not great either. The coffee itself didn't taste anything special, and for the price I was expecting a little more from it. The sandwich, though, was really good. Everything was cooked perfectly: velvety runny egg, crunchy bacon, melted gouda (although I couldn't taste it much), and an earthy basil mayo. All the flavors worked really well together, and it was a solid-sized sandwich too. My biggest issue was the price. I spent over $20 here, and honestly I feel like I could make a sandwich and coffee similar to this at home for cheaper and probably better.

I saw people studying for school, meeting to catch up, doing Bible study, working on resumes etc. it's great to see so many people doing various things at a local place. The barista/order taker was friendly and answered my questions with ease. The GF crepes were tasty, my only complaint is there could have been more banana on the sweet one we ordered. We will be back!

This local spot is located in the little historic Lenexa downtown, which is itself somewhat hidden away now that the Lenexa Public Market is open and draws folks that way. Coming to this stretch of suburbia feels charming and quaint, and I love that there is a really fantastic local coffee shop nestled into this shopping center. Now onto what makes this place so special. There are tons of great cafes in Kansas City, but what sets Maps apart from the pack is that they roast their own beans in house and they are all super fresh. You can taste the difference in the brew and it's a nice change of pace to have something a bit different since many of the local spots in town use the same local roasters. Once you find out about Maps you'll start to notice other cafes and restaurants that use their beans. It's not as many as say, Messenger, but Maps holds their own in this arena. They also make their own chocolate! And when I say make, I mean make. They actually make the chocolate bars and not just the candies. Even more impressive, it's damn good chocolate. Honestly, if you haven't been to this spot and have a love for coffee and/or chocolate it's well worth a visit. The cherry on top for me is how unpretentious the entire place is. You'll feel welcome, and the staff working will be happy to chat your ears off about their products. 5/5 for me!

Maps... home of the best PSL ever?…read more I was in the area shopping with a friend and was in desperate need of caffeine. I just happened to stumble upon Maps and I couldn't be happier I did. I chose one of their seasonal menu items, a pumpkin spice latte, and was blown away by how good it was. The pumpkin flavor was nailed perfectly with the coffee. Service was incredible (for a fun surprise, enroll in the rewards program!), and the shop vibes are very relaxed. I'm looking forward to many future visits!

However, I've visited this place at least 20 times, and I've only been able to get one about 2-3 times. Either it's so popular that people buy them right away as soon as they're put on the shelf, or they simply don't make enough. As everyone knows, their products are a little pricey, which means you can only grab a small selection, about 2-3 pieces with a coffee, and it's already $20-$30. So they're definitely on the expensive side for a bakery. The cake was great, but I wish the price range were around $30-$40 (it's currently about $55-$60+). The staff are welcoming and attentive. However, there can be a long wait, even when there are only 3-4 customers checking out. Overall, great bakery and more cream puff please!

The iced latte I got was delicious, and I was so glad that they had decaf espresso as an option since I can't typically have caffeine. I also love that they have baked goods that are both gluten free and vegan- as someone who is allergic to eggs, and who has family members who can't have gluten, this is a huge plus! (Note: I am unsure of their specific cross contamination risks, so be sure to ask staff for more details if needed). There were great seating options (I chose one of the couches, which was so comfy!), and the employees were all very friendly. Overall I definitely recommend this cafe and will be visiting again!
