    Iced lattes
    Sydney C.

    I kept hearing of Chingu and finally got the chance to try it out! It was pretty busy in here when we came but they had a good amount of seating and people were in and out pretty quick. The coffee was delicious but the star of the show to me was their Korean inspired breakfast burritos! Soooo good and will absolutely be back.

    Trying a new coffee shop not far from the plaza, literally connected to Bay Boy Sandwiches. They not only brew but roast their own coffee. I know in getting a latte brewing is different and espresso is more concentrated, its taste is distinct. The size is minimalist style, very open and plenty of natural light because of the large windows. The barista was no nonsense straight to order of business. I ordered the vanilla cardamom latte. It was ok. I asked for light ice, which was honored. It just wasn't any flavor to it.

    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!

    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.

    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

    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!

    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!

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.

We loved the little set up with a great amount of seating, a clean bathroom, and outlets for people who want to study or get some work done. We were a little hungry and got the empanadas and both tried the Yerba mate. We've never had the traditional yerba mate and were excited we could try it here. Once our order was ready one of the employees was happy to explain to us how to properly drink the yerba mate. She was patient, kind, and professional the whole time. There's definitely a trick to drinking it without getting the tea leaves through the straw. As we enjoyed our snack and drink we could tell the caffeine kicks in a little later. So, if you're up to trying traditional yerba mate, be aware that you'll get a gradual burst of energy a little later. I personally loved the decor and the atmosphere here. They had little knick knacks you could purchase, a small refrigerator with items to take with you as well. I got a couple of key chains for my sister and myself and my boyfriend and I have already noted that we want to come back here the next time we're in Kansas City!

    This might be a hot take but I found Chambre Coffee to be underwhelming on my first visit. I was…read moreultimately really excited to check them out though, which maybe is playing part in my overall disappointment? To begin with, Chambre Coffee is located inside of the old Westport Coffeehouse building. I have many memories of the old coffeehouse, including a first date with my now husband, so it holds some nostalgia for me. Despite that, I would be the first to say it was time for a new cafe to take the reigns in this location and after seeing so many hyped reviews I was really excited to come and see what the new spot was all about. When I pulled up I could see the new minimalist branding and I was honestly really surprised at how different the entire cafe looked inside. It's hard to describe but it somehow feels smaller, despite having way less furniture. I ordered some kind of specialty drink and sat down at a table. I have to say a big part of my lower rating is that I just didn't care for the ambiance. It was so quiet, with hardly anybody else working, that you could hear a pin drop. It just felt awkward to sit there and take a meeting like I was about to do. There is also way less seating and it just felt sort of cold in there. The old spot had its flaws, but it was nearly always busy with people studying, meeting up, reading a book, etc, it had strong coffee shop vibes, and I'm missing that here. The coffee itself was okay - I think I'd try something else next time. Overall, it was just okay. I would like to return sometime and give them another go. Maybe with a more friendly barista, and some light music in the background I'll have a different experience. Wishing this new business all the best though, and hope to return to give them another try.
