Also, if you care, they serve Onyx coffee which I'd say is of solid quality , but not exactly a local offering, but that doesn't deter me. They also have some nice pastry options like "homemade" pop-tarts croissants. It's also conveniently located to my BF's place, so that is working in their favor.

It often takes me a while to get to a new place, and this one had been on my list for a while. Opportunity arose when I needed a coffee shop to meet a friend at in this area and I was determined to not have it be a chain. To be honest, I was a bit nervous as I've had hit and miss luck with coffee shops outside of KCMO in terms of quality. I'm from Johnson County and currently live in JOCO, so I hate to admit that, but I think that things are really changing and for the first time since the Latte Land on State Line closed, there are now officially more than a small handful of great coffee shops on the Kansas side of the state line and this is one of them. First of all, the ambiance is inviting and calm. I did some work while I waited for my friend and it was the perfect spot for it. Since it's pretty close to home, and super close to daycare, I'm adding this to my list of places to go get some work done when I need out of the house. Also, I had an almond croissant which was excellent, and my coffee was really well made too. On top of it all the baristas were exceptionally friendly. All in all a huge win for this part of JOCO.

The interior is on the smaller side and the chair my husband was seated in was somewhat unstable. The interior is attractive and unique and I like the mural with their name on the side wall outside. The service was generally okay. My husband had a hot pistachio latte that was attractive in appearance, but just okay compared to other ones that he usually gets. He said the pastry was excellent. I had an iced oat milk latte with a specialty syrup that I can't remember but it was pretty good. They have limited syrups because they make their own. I don't believe they have any sugar free. I don't recall any music playing but they were consistently busy with people who took their order to go. The HUGE negative for me is that they said they had no restroom! I would assume they must have one for their staff but they don't allow patrons to use it. That is unacceptable in my opinion. I think it is because there are quite a few homeless/houseless people walking in the area and they have possibly had issues with them using their restroom??? But I feel like they could have a key or code to give to paying customers. People need to have access to a restroom for washing their hands, if something is spilled on their clothing and just to use it after drinking caffeine. I would not go back to this shop specifically because of that issue.

Tucked right into the heart of a North KC neighborhood, this would absolutely be my daily go-to caffeine spot if I lived nearby. It's cozy, welcoming, and the staff is super friendly.

I love that touch--it gives the shop an even stronger sense of community. Grab a seat by the window, sip your coffee, and watch the comings and goings in the 'hood. It's exactly the kind of neighborhood coffee shop you hope to stumble upon.

The owner has GREAT taste in books and decor, I love the use of natural light, it helps wake me up in the morning before the coffee has a chance to. Bisou isn't big, but still manages to feel spacious and almost private because of the layout. As for the coffee, best caffè americano I've ever had, and that's what I usually judge coffee shops by. The owner has some delicious, cute, and creative craft drinks, lattes, and teas on the menu. The chai is especially good, it's ginger-forward with a nice kick to it that other chais in the greater KC area lack. I'd definitely recommend getting a drink and a snack when you go, the pastries are divine and authentically French, The staff is always lovely. They're always keeping the place clean and they give great recommendations if you don't know what to order. Shout out to the pink haired girl who makes the signs and the decorative magnets, and the guy with curly hair and glasses who makes the best espresso!

As I venture further into consulting and meet with more people, I'm less interested in simply asking, "Is this a good coffee shop?" and more interested in, "Who is this place good for?" I came to Prairie specifically looking for somewhere to collaborate. Good tables, enough room to spread out papers, sit across from someone, compare laptops and actually have a conversation without feeling like you're taking over the entire coffee shop. Urban Prairie absolutely fits that bill. What I wasn't expecting was how much more there was to it. There's a game store attached, which was such a cool surprise, plus another room with larger tables that would be even better for brainstorming or working with a small group. Then right in the middle you still get that classic cozy coffee shop atmosphere people actually want. Some people need a quiet corner and headphones. Some need a place to catch up with a friend. Some of us show up with two laptops, papers everywhere and ideas to work through. Urban Prairie gives you options for all three. I'm going to keep trying different coffee shops around KC with that mindset because sometimes the best review isn't whether a place is "good." It's whether it's the right place for what you need that day.
