Every Thursday the CoffeeCake truck comes to my office, making Thursday my favorite day of the work week. You could say I'm a regular. It is so awesome to be able to get a custom beverage and snack right in front of your office first thing in the morning. The convenience factor alone gives it 5 stars. That being said, even if it wasn't convenient I'd seek out this local gem. When I see the CoffeeCake truck around town I feel excitement build within me. Maybe it's the caffeine addiction talking but they serve up some of the best drinks to come out of a truck. I usually stick to a non-fat latte or a freshly brewed tea (hot or iced depending on the season) and my favorite coconut muffins! (For all you coconut haters, I'm glad you hate coconut because then there's still a muffin left for me by the time I get to the truck!) My coworkers favorites are the flat white, pablo, dirty chai, mocha, hot chocolate, and, of course, the infamous coffee cake. Service with a smile is an understatement. By your second or third visit the ladies on the truck will know you're face and order by heart and love you for it! read more

CoffeeCakeKC - CoffeeCake Truck - Coffee & Tea Near Me

See all

I remember the first time I saw a coffee truck in New York City's Union Square (Mud Truck) and I thought, what an fantastic concept, considering at that time finding a non-corporate cup of coffee in Manhattan was pretty difficult unless you were willing to walk to the EV or WV. So, I am 100% behind this idea coming to fruition now in Kansas City, where it is admittedly a lot easier to find a non corporate cup of coffee, but try to do so in the evening, especially weekends after 3pm, and you're SOL. Or, perhaps you're having a busy workday and can't get in your car to locate some caffeine. Not to mention, when there are events around town like First Weekends in the Bottoms and you find yourself needing some little boost to get you in for the long haul or art walkin' and antique pickin' (yes, this was me on Saturday). Enter CoffeeCakeKC offering up some of the best roasted bean juice in town! What was it, 95 degrees on Saturday? Nothing like an iced Americano (with soy milk, yay!!) to brighten these languid, humid days and CCKC's is perfect in flavor (nutty, strong, not bitter). I was too hot for a baked good, but I look forward to this option in the future. They look/smell divine! Not to mention the fact the people behind this operation are extremely nice, so ordering up is a pleasure. Be sure to subscribe to their Twitter feed so you can stalk them for that which keeps your motor runnin'. read more

CoffeeCakeKC - From Website - Coffee & Tea Near Me

These were the people at the Electric City, and they were also at the Westport Food Truck Festival. I attended this with Sara D. She knows coffee, me, not so much, lol. It is a truck, with EFHobb's coffee. I've not actually had the coffee. But I think the foodtruck idea is fantastic, and I love every minute of it .I've had better food from foodtrucks, than restaurants, and certainly better service. This truck (the orange coffee truck) is no exception. While Sara ordered coffee, I chose a cupcake. I had the choice of several cupcakes, and chose the one I couldn't figure out how they made (I fiddle with cakes and ingredients and cupcakes and frosting nearly every weekend). So therefore, when given the opportunity, I tend to order the flavors that I'd not think of. At the Westport Foodtruck Festival, they had an outstanding amount of cupcakes to choose from and i ordered the rootbeer float belly cupcake. It was definitely made from scratch. I can tell scratch cakes and mix cakes in the first bite or two, normally. It had a taste of ginger, and rootbeer was fragrant and I could taste it. I'm trying to figure out the icing, it was more like a creamy icing, but could've had marshmallow. It had a rootbeer jelly belly on top. The cake was moist all the way through. I don't remember the price. But the yumminess of the cupcake I'll never forget. read more

CoffeeCakeKC - Rootbeer cupcake - Coffee & Tea Near Me

OH MY, Their coffeecake is the best I've ever tasted! It's the right amount of sweetness to it. I pair it with my fresh fruit strawberry banana smoothie. It was so good and clean! Really friendly ladies/staff and menu was easy to read and order from their food truck. I was left with a good impression from the food. Can't wait to see them again and order their cupcake next time. read more

I loved everything about CoffeeCakeKc's bright orange truck at the Electric Park Yelp Event and after the Food Truck Festival I might possibly adore them even more. Out of all the trucks at the Festival in Westport, this God-send of a truck was the one I wanted to visit the most. I enjoyed a blended mocha and Rhonda S. ordered a root beer float cupcake which she shared with me. Both were delicious! My favorite aspect of this truck is their un-dying friendly customer service. They always treat you like you are their number one customer (which I am!) and that you deserve all the attention in the world. Love these guys and wish them the best of luck! read more

They would not answer my phone calls or emails to confirm they would be at my wedding. Based on other reviews I expected them to no call no show. And they did, in fact, no call no show. Choose literally any other coffee truck. read more

This truck is at my office every Thursday. They have an AMAZING latte. Thur has become my favorite day of the week because of this. The cookies on the other hand are not the best, but its a coffee truck, not a cookie truck. I would give the coffee 10 stars if I could. read more

I was lucky enough to have CoffeeCakeKC in our work parking lot for an hour mid-morning (during that perfect time of the day where your cup joe from earlier isn't cutting it anymore)! My co-workers and I were able to escape our desks long enough to enjoy some goodies from their food truck and with zero disappointment. Their prices were pleasingly cheaper than most coffee or dessert trucks I've seen. I took the time to also enjoy a slice of coffee cake, I mean, it's in their name so it's a must. Even though the cake was perfectly moist and flavorful, it tasted even better having an iced vanilla latte to wash it down with. Nothing like some mid-morning joy for a Tuesday! read more

CoffeeCakeKC - a red food truck with the words yes please - Coffee & Tea Near Me

Pretty much any time I see this truck, my mental dialogue goes something like this: "Oh goodness. You better not get anything at that truck. It's so bad for you" "well, maybe just a coffee" "well, why have regular coffee when you can have a vanilla latte?" "well, why would you just get a coffee drink and not eat coffee cake?" "I will eat ALL OF THE COFFEE CAKE!" And then I get fat. But I don't care, because I am full of deliciousness, which makes me jolly. And everybody loves a jolly Matt. read more

I know this just my opinion , but i have to say wonderful customer service. I once again forgot what normal coffee I get. I was scared because i keep forgetting the name... so the nice lady at the window said well if u are not aware LOL... i know it wasn't my usual drink i think its called a southwest or something like that...took one sip and i wanted to fall to my knees and pray to the heaven above for just getting, ME... just knowing what my board tired tastebuds needed....so EPIC.. i love your stuff!!!! bless u for completing me... read more

CoffeeCakeKC - My daughter said "this is the best coffee truck in the whole world!" - Coffee & Tea Near Me

I decided that I didn't want to walk all the way down to 13th & Main to go to one of the coffee shops to pick up one of the bestest fall drinks: pumpkin spice latte. I remembered that CoffeeCakeKC was at the KC Green Fair today (9.22.11) & wanted to finally try them out. DELICIOUS!! I LOVED the pumpkin spice latte! Definitely well worth the walk across the street for! I will have to chase you all down, the next time I see the truck drive by! Until next time.... read more

My boyfriend's lucky enough to have these folks hit up his work every Thursday. Seriously, these guys are the sweetest people -- and the espresso is far and away the best in the city. (Well, maybe second to Broadway Coffee -- but only by a hair.) I haven't tried the cupcakes, alas, but they look excellent, and the woman who sells them is simply darling. Sniff this place out: it's worth it. read more

CoffeeCakeKC, you just made my day! As an intrepid hard-working desk jockey, I often find that shortly after lunch, my attention span and motivation get zapped requiring a great deal of mental fortitude and a hard kick in the pants (which requires much contortion to do to yourself) to remain productive. But today, CoffeeCakeKC came to my rescue completely eliminating any need for contortions, and for that, I am ever-so-grateful. CoffeeCakeKC offers a variety of coffee drinks (did you expect any different?) as well as cupcakes, cookies and...well...coffee cake (again, really...did you expect any different?). I cannot comment on the baked goods at all, because what I needed, all I needed, was a caffeinated jolt to the system to jumpstart my afternoon and they delivered with the Truffle Shuffle, a rich sinful coffee drink with a double shot. Wahoo! And they served this life-saving elixir up very quickly and with a nice friendly heartfelt smile. So what else can you ask for? Well, if you're me, you might be ultra-demanding and ask for convenience, and they deliver that for me by showing up to my workplace a couple of times a week. read more

I Love these guys! I drive clear across town for a good cup of Joe. .. My all time favorite item they have is the Skinny Baron. (Basically an awesome non-fat hot cocoa coffee) You can find them all over but I also know I can find them the first Sat if every month in the west bottoms. They have awesome coffee and awesome people who make it. ..o and don't forget the have great baked goods also. read more

Their Pablo drink and Coffee Toffee frozen drink are great. It's their slow scheduling and lack of notice that keeps their score down. Need better use on social media and messaging to get word out to let customers know if they are behind schedule or not going to be where they are supposed to be. EDIT: The second I just posted the original review they announced, via Twitter, they are having electrical issues. Yet I still stand by the original comment that good use of social media makes getting word out quickly about timing/location/menu items helps customers. Also, their drinks are very good. read more

This truck should change names to, 'Lifesaver!'. The one lamentable fact about the East Crossroads is this: THERE IS NO WHERE TO GET COFFEE!!. Sure, we have concert venues, event venues, bike share, hell, we even have the newspaper! But we do not have any coffee. The brick has a teenie tiny espresso machine but that just really doesn't work out too well for me, especially if they're busy. Enter, Lifesaver. I mean, CoffeeCakeKC. While their lifesaving only takes place for 15 minutes once a week, my love for them endures. Thursday afternoons between 1-1:15 mean that I can get the 'Pablo'- spiced mocha, no whip, (easy on the chocolate) with a side of pep in my step. The two who run the truck remembered who I was on my second trip there, and my order. That's pretty incredible, really. They see a lot of people in the week between my trips. Yesterday, they made my week again by giving me a punch card to help fuel and reward my addiction. Now, after 10 'Pablos' I can get one free! Maybe I'll use the opportunity to save money on my coffee and try one of their 3 Women and an Oven cupcakes. With flavors like Champagne and wedding cake among dozens of others, I've escaped temptation so far, but barely. I have tried a pumpkins streusel muffin (which took me 3 days to consume because they are gigantic) and it was scrumptious. A tad dry by the third day but that is to be expected. Heating it up made it even better so I didn't mind. Coffee-wise, these guys are not going to amaze you with flawless latte art (theirs is decent tho) or $6 pour-overs. They are perfect when you want to treat yourself to a rich hot chocolate or espresso drink on a cold afternoon and even when you need to indulge a sweet tooth. And that is just fine by me! I can go to Quay or Oddly, or *gasp* make my own coffee, any other day. By Thursday, I want a treat and CoffeeCakeKC has my back every time. Thanks! read more

I love Coffee Cake KC and I love the fact that they have several locations around town on different days that you can hit them up. The newest location is the Merriam Farmer's Market. The City of Merriam ran power for them, so they don't have to run their generator so it is nice and quite. So I have been here 3 weeks in a row to get my coffee fix. Two friends turned me on to the Baron Blended which I had yet to try and now I am addicted to it. It is my new favorite. Stop my and grab a cup of coffee and check out the market. read more

Absolutely the best coffee , best cupcakes, and 2 of the hippest, hardest working ladies I know. Thumbs way up

Disappointed that they couldn't do decaf, but the truffle hot chocolate stands on its own merits! Fun interlude to a busy day downtown KC.

I have yet to try their coffee but their apple crumb coffee cake muffin keeps me coming back every time. Friendly people, I can't help but follow the big orange truck where ever it rolls to. read more

We tried this truck in the west bottoms while shopping at the vintage markets. It was a perfect location because we were cold and hungry. Our friends with are us super picky and they loved what they got! The coffee was so amazing. Full of rich flavor without being to dark. I can't wait to run into the truck again and try more of their treats. read more

This place has the best smoothies! Friendly people and great tasting products! No matter what you get whether it be coffee or smoothie you HAVE to get a Cinnamon Coffeecake. read more

KC is not exactly a new wave coffee Mecca, but we are lucky to have a handful of local artisan coffee shops that know coffee drinks and espresso inside and out. And now one of them is on wheels!! CoffeeCakeKC rivals the best non-truck coffee shops in the metro. The espresso coming out of this truck is in the top 5 in KC. read more

Yum! I love coffee cake and as their names says, they serve it up. The bf and I have partaken in the offerings of CoffeeCakeKC on a few occasion. Every time so far has been in the chill of winter, well in the slight chill of the winter. Our latest encounter was during the "first weekend" antiquing bonanza in the West Bottoms. This little food truck was parked on 12th and we were both very happy to see them. He had a latte and I a black coffee. Both of us were very happy with how our caffeinated treats tasted. We also chowed down on an amazing slice of coffee cake, great for anyone on any diet. Well veggies perhaps, not someone looking to "diet" and loose weight. Fluffy and thick, moist and cinnamony. The lovely peeps inside the truck are super. Very friendly, helpful and quick. While we were there the line literally tripled in size, they just continued smiling and helping their customers as efficiently as possible. I love trucks like these, especially in the colder months because they make outdoor urban activities so much more fun. Anyone can enjoy their food. I look forward to trying one of their ridiculously great looking cupcakes! Job well done CoffeeCakeKC! read more

Love the big orange truck and the people inside! CoffeCakeKC came to my son's graduation paty, parked in our driveway and were the smash hit of the event. Melanie and Brian were fabulous to work with, quick with communication in planning, and met our needs perfectly. The coffee drinks and smoothies were outstanding (the Mexican spiced cocoa was my favorite!!) and enjoyed by kids and adults. The food was fabulous as well as the coffee. I will be looking for them at First Friday, not only for their coffee, but to say HI as well. To top it all off they are two of the friendliest people you'll meet. If you need a fun graduation party idea, have them come to yours!!! read more
