I wanted to try the s'mores cold brew and one of Chingu's famous breakfast burritos. And today happened to be the day! The employees are friendly and make things fresh to order. My cold brew was delicious and full of flavor, and the marshmallow cold foam took it to the next level for me. My Chingu sausage burrito was served hot and had a great flavor too. The red go sauce has an asian flair to it. I loved it! And it is a great complement to the sausage, egg, cheese and potato in the fresh tortilla. It was probably the best breakfast burrito that I have had! Wow! Such a fun local coffee shop that you have to visit!

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.

Our food from Fritti's was good and the decor and people we interacted with were all good experiences.

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.

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.

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.

Everything was so great we decided to get it again today but paid a visit inside. Iced vanilla latte still amazing and my boyfriend got the honey rush which was also good. Today we also tried their burritos (The Gobbler and The Chief). Only suggestion I can think of would be to have a hot sauce bottle or 2 at the grab-n-go bar. Would've made the burritos that much better for the spicy lovers. Staff was kind. Vibe of the inside is cute and lots to look at on their walls. Can buy the artwork off the wall if you'd like! Was given a punch card (buy 10 drinks, get 1 free), which we will definitely be using. We've tried so many local places in the area as residents of North KC, and this place definitely has the best iced coffees! Thank you! We will definitely be back.

I honestly wish this was closer to my house but now I have a go to spot when I'm visiting my grandma.
