    Water jug

    You can tell when entering that this is a neighborhood coffee shop. Located next to a Johnny Jo's pizza shop and in the front space of bay boy sandwiches, this coffee shop is worth a stop if you are in the area. The menu is compact: coffee tea, seasonal drinks and sweet and savory breakfast items. They offer milk alternatives and vegan food options. I ordered the almond cookie latte with oat milk. So creamy. I slurped it down so fast. It was flavorful but not overly sweet. I just wish it was a bit hotter temp wise. Parking is a challenge. Only street parking. And because it's in a residential neighborhood, you may have to walk a half block or so. Service is friendly and quick.

    Sausage burrito (or rice burrito?)

    Recommendation from tiktok about this place having the best breakfast burrito in town. People recommending must have never had a good bf burrito before? It was literally a rice burrito - see pic. It could have been good had it contained more of the other advertised ingredients. The coffee was also not great - it had a sour taste and there was not enough ice so it was warm but I did enjoy the misugaru flavor. Overall a serious miss - 2 stars because the staff was lovely.

    Clean with cute and minimal decoration. The staff are nice and provide good recs. We loved the food and coffee. We both had seasonal drinks: white chocolate peppermint latte and mojito espresso tonic - we loved both. I love foofoo drinks but am often disappointed because they are too think or rich. Not here. I thought they were perfect. We also had the gochujang sausage burrito. It was excellent! I highly recommend!

    Quad shot + splash of heavy cream

    Quad Espresso shot with a splash of heavy cream was the perfect balance. It brings out the coffee bean and removes a tad bit of any bitterness. Cashier was handling the busy morning well

    Cortado and matcha latte
    Dat T.

    Went on a coffee tasting run recently in KC. To base my reviews, I will say that I have my own espresso set up at home, and have tried coffees across the nation from SF to NYC. Chingu coffee was alright. Got a matcha latte and a cortado - I appreciate that they completed latte art for my cortado. I feel like when a cafe takes the effort to do latte art, the overall barista experience and skill is higher, which is reflected in the taste of the coffee itself. I'll say that the coffee was fine - on par with what I could make at home. Price was reasonable. Matcha latte left a lot to be desired in my opinion. Not much matcha flavor, and overall was dominantly milk. Both drinks came out quick. There was enough seating inside, and it's relatively cozy as well. I could see myself getting a coffee and completing some work or doing some reading inside.

    So yummy! Super simple and cute shop, lots of light that comes through for a light ambiance. Coffee is just what I wanted, they could even do sweet cream foam for me which I loved! Definitely will be coming back, especially since it is only 2 mins from work, SCORE!!!

    This small coffee spot in the west plaza neighborhood is the perfect addition to the area. It is attached to Bat Boys sandwich spot which makes it a convenient stop. I ordered the honey cappuccino and it was perfect. The beans are strong but are not bitter or burnt. The cappuccino came out with some of the best foam art I have seen in a while. Highly recommend.

    Another great coffee spot amongst many in the KC area. They have some of their own flavored syrups if you want to make things interesting, but otherwise nice straight forward menu. They also offer pastries, not sure if they are made in house or from a local bakery. I went with the matcha latte and added an espresso shot (try it if you've never had it). Bonus points, their latte art was immaculate.

    The unique Asian inspired flavors at this Westside coffee shop, that shares a space with Bay Boy, make it stand out. With the subtle blends of sweetness and earthiness the house-made syrups mixed with the rich espresso always creates an amazing drink. Also, pro-tip sign up for their rewards program and get a BOGO drink once a month so, you can try out all the options. Another really amazing thing Chingu stands by is that they don't charge for alternative dairy, heck yeah- score on for local! Now onto my two must order beverages from this cafe, one has to be the red bean and the other has to be misuguru, which is a buttery brown sugar flavor that makes an epic latte. The red bean is much more earthy and less sweet but works with the inherent bitterness of the espresso. Any coffee drink here is prepared with care and is bound to brighten your day so, stop in and be sure to check out the outstanding sandwich shop (not affiliated but just as local) because this is a little corner of happiness.

    I was excited to try this Korean-owned coffee shop, but was disappointed that their menu didn't have anything Korean inspired. I got their matcha latte w/ lavender add and it was very matcha flavored, watered down, and I didn't taste any lavender...I'm hoping they'll get some Korean lattes! Parking is difficult and only has street parking. They're connected to Bay Boy and have some seating with tables.

    I'll skip to the ending..... come on in. The coffee is good, the flavors are good, the pastries were good, and the burritos are great. I wasn't thinking that rice in a burrito would be good, but it was light and fluffy.....and the sauce is to die for. The counter staff was polite and attentive. The physical space works fine. The only issue I could come up with is parking. I didn't have any issues, however you may have to park down the block on the side streets.

    Chingu Coffee had been on my radar for a while when I stopped in for a meeting last fall. I wasn't totally sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed this little cafe. First of all it's located in west plaza so the location is nice. Just off the business of the plaza shops and it's attached to Bay Boy Sandwiches, another one of my local faves. While the drinks they offer do have a Korean twist to some of them, the cafe itself has a very modern American coffee shop vibe. It's not big inside but it's large enough to find a table to work or meet with someone if you time it right. What made this a 5 over a 4 Star for me was the specialty latte I had and the service. The drink had a great flavor profile and wasn't overly sweet while still packing some unique flavors. The staff was approachable and kind, which you don't always find at hip little shops like this. In short: I'll be back!

    Caramel latte and breakfast sandwich
    Alec C.

    Was my first time stoping by this coffee shop and was very pleased with the quality of service and how quickly we got are order given there was one guy working. We spent 40$ on 4 coffees and a breakfast sandwich with a sweet treat. I was hesitant to spend 9 on the breakfast sandwich given most places are just warmed up frozen sandwiches and this probably was too but had good portion of meat and was tasty so I was pleased. Coffee was good and not stuff to the rim with ice only would have added some Carmel drizzle! 10/10 would recommend!!

    Great coffee and service. When I spilled my coffee, they happily cleaned it up. Or maybe not happily, but smiled while doing it.

    My Winner of Best Restaurant Week Meal 2026…read more I hadn't been back to Westport Cafe for a few years but now I'm kicking myself because I've been missing out! I remembered this restaurant being one of my favorites in years past . For some reason it fell off my radar. Now it's shining like a beacon of fine dining French inspired cuisine in Westport, an entertainment district known for a more casual environment. If you are looking for a special date night meal, somewhere for a girls night or just for a treat yourself dinner I would highly suggest Westport Cafe. Let's talk about this incredible restaurant week menu. First was the deconstructed crab cake (which is always on the menu) I would order this dish again and again. The way it was presented was a work of art. All the components were complex and it was fun to eat. It has such an essence of crab without the heaviness deep fried crab cakes usually have. Seafood is special here because the Trout Almondine was one of the best fish dishes I've ever had. It begs to be added to the menu. The sauce was buttery and rich with nutty notes, the citrus cut through the richness so, it didn't seem heavy. The fish was cooked impeccably, I literally had no notes. They know what they're doing in that kitchen! And you know if I can rave about green beans then it was a perfectly executed dish. They had such a nice snap and vibrant green color, they were delicious dipped in that sauce. I cannot wait to go back for another solo splurge meal. This was my second dinner of the evening so I didn't make it to dessert at the restaurant but, I did take it to-go. I'm not a big dessert girl so, it wasn't very memorable however, the rest of the meal is engrained in my mind. I remember back a few years ago I used to go crazy for the muscles here so, I can't wait to sample them again. Also, just a note any menu that has rabbit on it just completes me. It's so hard to find nowadays in Kansas City and it's one of my favorite meats to indulge in. The menu rotates seasonally (as one should) so, I need to rush back in soon before the rabbit leaves. I would suggest you rush in too, I do not think you'll regret it.

    Our night out in Westport took us to a couple of different spots…read more Our main haunt for the evening, however, was Westport Cafe. It's a pretty eclectic, cozy French Bistro. I highly recommend making a reservation because the space gets crowded quickly. We started the night with "The Corinthian," which was a velvety, sweet, and incredibly refreshing libation. The food throughout the night was a bit of a mixed bag, leading to some hilarious table critiques: One friends Stuffed Lamb Saddle: This dish looked like a Monet on a plate, but unfortunately, most of the pallette tasted like a five-year-old's finger painting. One of the glaring faux pas's was the Kryptonite-colored risotto, which tasted exactly like the peppermint gel the dentist uses to scrub your teeth clean. The lamb itself was cooked well, though a bit on the gamey side. The Halibut & Croque Monsieur: On the brighter side, one friend ordered the halibut--which tasted great, though the portion left her wanting a lot more--and another ordered the fancy French version of a ham and cheese sandwich, which was delicious. My friend and I decided to split a few plates: Oysters: Served on an elegant little plate with a house-made hot sauce and trout roe, these were absolutely spot-on. Beef Empanadas: As someone with high empanada standards, these didn't quite hit the mark. While they were mostly crispy and the meat had good flavor, the texture inside was a little mushy. The saving grace was the fantastic chimichurri sauce. Steak Frites: The steak was tender and flavorful, served with hollandaise and mustard sauces. The accompanying truffle fries, however, were like costume jewelry--glamorous and fancy at first glance, but ultimately just ordinary. The staff was nice and attentive and it was very thoughtful that they told us the 20% tip was included in the bill. Note: The restaurant does get pretty loud and packed, but we got lucky and were seated all the way in the back, which gave us a bit of a haven especially since our group can be a little obnoxious. Pro-tip: if you have a sweet tooth, saunter over to Insomnia Cookies afterward for an incredible treat... It's cookie heaven!

    How have I not yet reviewed Crow's Coffee? It feels criminal to have been Yelping so long and have…read moreoverlooked this wonderful local spot! At any rate, where to start? I remember back in 2011 when I worked at the Nelson we were absolutely starved for a great local coffee house to open up nearby. We had Latte Land on the plaza but parking over there was always nuts and to just pop in and grab a coffee we'd often end up over at KCAI. When Crow's opened while I was away in graduate school I remember my former colleagues gushing about it - saying it had finally happened and a good shop had opened. They weren't wrong. Here we are, probably 10 years (ish) since they first opened their doors and they are still serving the need for fantastic local coffee in this part of KC. On my most recent visit I popped in for a coffee to take with me to a meet at UMKC and I was reminded at how great this spot is. While there are many more great coffee options nearby these days you can't fail to remember Crows and I look forward to my next visit!

    Rating: 5/5 Stars Crows Coffee is a fantastic spot in Kansas…read moreCity. I stopped in on a Sunday afternoon and the place was packed but I still found it to be a great environment. Even with the crowd it was not noisy at all and I was able to settle in and get plenty of work done. I ordered an iced oat milk latte with an extra shot of espresso and it was delicious. The coffee flavor really came through and was perfectly prepared. The staff was also very friendly and helpful which made the experience even better. I will definitely be back.
