    'Herbal Defense' Tea - $3
    Mariefe R.

    Equal Minded Cafe is in Ubuntu Village building & caught my eye. Ubuntu is a South African word meaning "humanity to others." We can most def use both Equal Mindedness & Humanity To Others. I got an 'Herbal Defense' Tea for $3 plus tax since allergies have been killin me. Great cafe for breakfast, brunch & lunch. They also have open mics & events in the back. You can get a 10% discount if you can make the barista laugh. On Fridays, college students can get 20% off w/ ID. Also on Fridays, large chai lattes are 1/2 off.

    Apple Butter Chai Latte

    Going to a coffee shop, it's unusual to have an experience out of the ordinary. Equal Minded is anything but ordinary. The space was unique and the vibes were great. The staff was incredible and so friendly, but when I tell you this is the best coffee I've had in KC it's no lie. The Apple Butter Chai Latte is the best drink I've had in years. It's on their seasonal list so run and get one, or two. Plus it's served with a cookie which is always the best addition!

    Hot house-made chai and Iced house-made chai. DELICIOUS!!

    Great service. DELICIOUS Chai. Space was full of folks and vibrant! Highly recommend this community-driven space.

    KC's Best Chai Tea Latte

    THE BEST CHAI and PANINI!! I ordered an almond milk chai and their pesto aioli panini. Both were amazing!! and I was so surprised to see they brought out a lil cookie with each chai!! they even went as far as bringing out food to our table and napkins the service is unparalleled!! The owner is also very kind! It was so quiet and friendly!!

    Strawberry Latte and the San Francisco Melt

    Found a gem in my hometown. Ones of the best strawberry latte's ever. The vibe was in point. Oh and the San Francisco Melt was beyond delicious

    Fantastic experience at an event here - amazing vibes, decor and food! Equal Minded is a purpose-driven coffee shop and event space, with a large room in the back that community members can rent for affordable rates. The decor is eclectic and cozy, and staff and baristas are warm and welcoming. A lot of folks showed up for our event, so they ran out of some items and I ended up ordering a jalapeño reuben sandwich, which was savory and flavorful. Honestly, it seems like you can't go wrong with this menu. Cold brew with a splash of oat was solid. I was excited to see lots of vegan and vegetarian items on the menu and will be trying those when I return. Don't miss this warm and welcoming coffee shop!

    The service is always great when coming inside of equal minded cafe, while I didn't get food this time a lot of the guests coming seemed very satisfied with their food. The Ambiance of shop is very welcoming and peaceful almost as if I was at home!

    Very poor customer service and my sandwich only had one slice of meat on it. Waste of time and money. Go somewhere else.

    $4 for an Americano is higher than most places I frequent, and the coffee was severely lacking in flavor.

    With every visit to Andre's I become more and more of a fan…read more My first taste came from when I worked at the Nelson many years ago. Julian, the Director, is a fan of this place and he'd sometimes order an array of cakes for the staff to enjoy, they always went fast, and it was my first foray into European style cakes like what Andre's serves up. Flash forward more than a decade and I've been here a few times, sometimes to get chocolates for a friend, other times (like last night) for a meal. I didn't realize that Andre's does special events like their fondue nights. I have a feeling these are annual so you might have to wait until 2027 to snag a seat at the table, but their fondue meal was so much fun and comes with some history from their staff. Fun thing I learned was that they sell their fondue year round in the shop so if you ever want to do a unique date night at home just pop into Andres and purchase some to-go. It would be such a fun way to spend a Saturday at home. Finally, I'm going to add that for me what takes Andre's to the next level and makes it a must visit spot in KC is the history. It's been in the same family for generations, the recipes are authentic, and the owners are really kind people. It's the kind of business you can feel good about supporting and I'll be back!

    I'd like to give a HUGE thank-you to the folks at Andre's for saving my Christmas!…read moreI wanted to buy chocolates for my best friend and realized (on Christmas Eve) that not all chocolates are gluten-free. My friend has celiac disease, so it's important to me to ensure my gifts to her meet her dietary restrictions. I checked online and discovered that almost all of Andre's chocolates are gluten-free and--better yet--they were open on Christmas Eve until 4 pm. So I dashed over after work, arriving at 3:40, and the folks behind the counter were all so kind and so helpful. I explained what I needed and they showed me the ready-made boxes of chocolates available--but then offered to put one together for me right then, to make sure that we chose exactly what she wanted and that every chocolate was gluten-free. They guided me through the choices, telling me the flavors that were in some of the selections, and giving their recommendations based on my friend's tastes. How nice of them!! I walked out close to the stroke of 4 pm, with the perfect box of chocolates in a lovely gift box. Hurray!! I really appreciate the staff's kindness, and going the extra distance for my friend, at the very end of their work day before the holiday started. Thank you SO much to everyone at Andre's, and Merry Christmas!

    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.

The reason why I am not giving this place 5 stars is because of the lack of customer service. Both the cashier and barista were not very friendly. They were brisk. I tried to engage in a converation about their pastries and they seemed disinterested and just wanted to move on to taking orders and making drinks. They weren't even busy. I arrived an hour after they opend and the place was 10% full. The food was good. I got the avocado toast and with a littl more salt and hot sauce; it was delicious. The place also smelled amazing. I was engulfed in the aroma of cinnamon, sugar and butter and roasted coffee. I could not have been happier except for the lack of warmth and feeling of connection and a sense of community one often gets in an independent coffee shop. The hot latte I got was good. Oat-milk was $1.25 extra which I thought was a bit steep for Kansas City. But I guess prices/inflation affects us all. The ham and cheese croissant I got was super delicious. It was better than the avocado toast. I would get the croissant again. The rooftop area was a vibe. There were more people up there talking so it had better energy. I think on the first and second floor, most people were just working and on their laptops, so it was overall very quiet.

Throughout the store they have sections of many different brands and their products, mostly supporting local KC vendors. Among different types of goods they had apparels, cards, accessories, cups, mugs, candies, chocolates, caps, coasters, posters, home candles and much more. The prices were little higher since these are local made goods, but they were excellent quality. We bought some chocolate bars and cards from the store.

The idea of domestically-manufactured items or, in this case, even made in Kansas City is intriguing. The store is nicely done. Sure there are tacky tchotchkes, but there is something for everyone. Anyway, I got a coffee. It was very good and the barista was friendly. My disappointment is rooted in the store's name and that some things are not only not made in KC, but are not made in America. It feels like a two-star outcome when the store name is held up to reality, but I'll hesitantly add the third with hope they redouble efforts to stock more items of domestic origin. Anyway, back to the parking situation - if you get wonderful parking beware there are some lookie-loos. I don't want to brand anyone suspicious, but even on a weekend morning there was a sense of character presence if you catch my drift.
