Cutest little coffee shop! Went here and had the sweet tree latte. Tasted perfect- not too sweet. Baristas were perfect too- very sweet! Hi hat is very close to Westwood park, so we were able to grab a quick coffee then go for a little walk. Will come back again! read more

Hi Hat Coffee - Menu - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Westwood Hills, Kansas

I went to Hi Hat a while back when they had their egg nog latte, and the woman at the counter who helped me out was incredibly nice. I was asking her a bunch of questions since I'd never been before, and she was patient with me, which I really appreciated. I'm a coffee snob. I like to actually taste the coffee when I drink lattes. To be fair, I can't remember if I got a double or quad shot based on her recommendation, but I do remember the coffee being really good. If I lived closer, I'd be going there all the time. For reference, my top coffee places for the greater KC area are: Hi Hat, Good Karma Coffee, Blip, and the Roasterie. I like balanced, smooth, medium-roast espressos that aren't too acidic. I also enjoy adding oat milk to my coffees. Of note: the place is microscopic, so don't plan on drinking there or meeting with friends there. Treat this place as a to-go stop, and you'll be golden. Overall, definitely recommend! read more

Cute place and location - very very tiny with about 6 seats outside. There is a small ledge you could stand at inside - however the line goes inside so that wouldn't be possible to use. Only one person working when we went - so be prepared to wait a bit. read more

It's good. Come on a day with nice weather. It looks like an old Route 66 gas station. Cute outside patio, line out the door, 2 workers that were slanging coffee as fast as they could move. The coffee was good (I prefer something a little less sweet, think cortado/gibralter). There are a few munchies available...the one we tried was nice. Heck yea, we will return read more

Hi Hat Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Westwood Hills, Kansas

Hi Hat has been around for some time and I love that it has remained consistent over the years as one of KC's best OG local coffee shops. Something that sets Hi Hat apart from others that started around the same time is that they haven't tried to expand and have remained a neighborhood staple in Westwood. I love all of this by the way. I love that it remains a destination, that it serves its local community, and that it remains a novel place to visit if you don't live in the neighborhood. I remember when I was in highschool coming here and thinking it was the coolest spot due to its small size and impeccable charm. That same feeling remains, despite me being in my 30s. It's still charming and worth a visit. I would hate if the size ever changed as that's what makes Hi Hat, Hi Hat, but it's also what keeps me from coming here more often as I'm not going to come here to work unless it's a gorgeous day and there is room on their patio. It's more likely I'd stop in if I'm nearby and needing a solid cup of coffee. The thing is though, I'm not sure that matters as Hi Hat is here for it's loyal neighborhood crowd and I think that's pretty special. read more

Probably the most beautiful coffee place in KC & suburbs! imo Beautiful neighborhood & a cute little cafe! They don't have indoor seating but they do have outdoor seating. I have also seen people ordering a coffee and sit outside the flower shop nearby. I am curious to come back here during the fall and winter season & see what people really do for seating. Hehe! About the coffee, we ordered a Bee high latte and almond joy latte. Liked both of 'em. There is not a lot of space inside. read more

Hi Hat has still got it! In the metro where we often find big strip malls, ever-widening highways, bigger houses, sprawling city limits, Hi Hat Coffee serves as the perfect antidote to this affliction by serving coffee in a cozy, homey environment. Gently tucked into the West Plaza and Westwood Hills neighborhood, this place has become perfection for me and my little family. I would say it's like grabbing a coffee from your kitchen, but it's more appropriate to say it's like hanging out in the little breakfast nook as you read the paper. This place is incredibly tiny, but everyone easily rolls with it as it adds so much charm. Their baristas are often friendly, and the coffee is fantastic. I love their drip and iced coffees, but this is also one of the few spots where I'll opt for some sort of specialty latte on occasion. The Nutty Irishman (hazelnut and almond, I believe?) and and Bee-Hive (honey and cinnamon) are popular and fantastic, iced or hot. The coffee still shines and they're never overly sweet. I would suggest adding an extra shot of espresso for the larger size. The patio April-October is magical. Good energy and old friends catching up. For me, based on proximity, vibe, quality, and that special, hyper-local flare of Hi-Hat, this is my favorite coffee shop in Kansas City. Keep doing what you're doing Hi-Hat! read more

Such a cute spot! I got an iced latte with toffee & spiced brown sugar syrup. It was tasty, but the espresso wasn't super strong--only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars. Next time I go, I would just ask for less milk but that's just a personal preference! Line was out the door but they moved through orders quick. read more

Tried out this cute coffee shop today and was glad that I did! The latte that I enjoyed was good. The service was prompt and friendly. The pricing was reasonable compared to other coffee shops. They also offer a good variety of teas and syrups. They have outdoor seating only but unfortunately unshaded for a hotter day. Quite a few customers dropped in to a make their purchase and leave. I sat outside for a bit but the sun was too direct and ended up driving to a local park and sitting in the shade. read more

Cutest little shop- no space inside for seating- just a small counter to stand at. The patio was cute with large chairs to sip coffee. The girls working were kind and chatty. I ordered a large iced latte and it was very milky. Not sure the number of shots, but I'd say ask for extra if you're looking for a stronger coffee flavor. read more

Hi Hat Coffee is the cutest little coffee shop! They have so many different coffee and tea options and even smoothie options! There's no indoor seating, but there is great outdoor seating! Can be limited though, especially during prime time. You can always take your order to-go and walk around the cute shops next door too. The baristas are also super friendly. Would recommend! read more

Excellent and flavorful espresso in the latte. The Oat Milk adds creamy texture. Excellently made. Hi Hat was busy today. There were local regulars, and the two baristas were friendly and efficient. The baristas form relationships with their regular customers and they even come back when in town. Baristas are also friendly and welcoming to not so regulars. It has been at least 8 years since I last went to Hi Hat. The outdoor seating area is wonderful and welcoming. In a world if drive thru coffee, it is worth parking and going into this cute Cafe to get your coffee. The baristas even make designs in the foam. You don't get that at a drive thru. read more

If you haven't had a chance to pop in to Hi Hat, you are truly missing out! It is right around the corner from my work and is a frequent stop to get my fuel for the day. As someone who enjoys strong tasting coffee, I am thankful for the Gibraltar! So many creative drinks, I haven't had anything I could complain about, all so yummy! On one of the most Monday-est of Mondays, my coworkers and I decided we needed a pick me up. I strolled in with a list of 8 drinks, I handed it over and they completely took care of the rest! The two girls working were so nice and friendly. They even made sure to write each person's name on their drinks, saving us from the guessing game. One of the girls even helped me carry out the second tray to my car! Great place, great coffee, great service! read more

This is a hidden gem. The coffee portion sizes are huge and prices are very reasonable. It is a tiny building but there's lots of patio space outdoors. The service is very kind and hard working. read more

Great service cute amboance and good drinks! Not overly sweet like most places. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

What a magical little coffee shop. It rests on a pristine corner on State Line, and just like the city of Westwood Hills, the building is small and charming. My grandparents had a small gas station made of rock in the 1930's and I could see the quaint similarities of the two structures. It certainly made me wish that it was still in the family. The Covid line out into the side lot was kept moving by the barista / juggler. Two people inside at a time to decide, place your order and pay , then step outside and allow 2 more in while you listen for her to yell your name. Completely efficient and civilized during a time of uncertainty and incivility. The espresso macchiato was perfect to sip while window shopping at the flower shop and grabbing some chocolates for myself and gifts at Annedore's next door. An idyllic morning! read more

LOVE! But as a note to the owner - I often want to visit on Sundays, which you're closed so I can't. And when it's a Saturday morning coffee run, I want a little breakfast sandwich too. I realize you don't have a kitchen. I will accept a microwaved sandwich out of a plastic bag. I just want Hi Hat to be a one stop shop... PLEASE! XOXO read more

This place is bustling! I dropped my Son off at school and ended up passing the cafe' by mistake. Of course God doesn't make mistakes so I did a u-turn pretty quick. I parked up the road a bit and walked down, much better when it's time to leave, trust me. If you think it looks small from the street, you'll be even more surprised upon entering. I was so confused thinking I would grab a table and get some work done. Had my little binder and all. Haha, silly me. Upon entering... that's literally it! You enter, menu is straight ahead, barista counter to the right, order, turn all about, say "excuse me" repeatedly because it's packed and it's small, then wait OUTSIDE. Absolutely no room to congregate inside. The menu has some very unique selections available, didn't want to take too much time reading them so I ordered with my gut health in mind, an anti-inflammatory turmeric latte with oat. Delish. Plenty of seating out front but if you're not in the social mood there's a bit more privacy at the patio table w/umbrella off to the side. A creek runs behind the cafe', there's a raised garden box that will look great once it's planted out. Took awhile to get my drink which is to be expected at 8:30am . I was delighted to see three ducks playing in the creek. Nature's entertainment is free and peaceful. Cool find. I'd try it again during non peak hours. read more

Stopped by Hi Hat after our run and it did not disappoint! The iced coffee was robust yet smooth. My latte was creamy and spicy with the perfect touch of sweetness. Also, you get a great bang for your buck! We went on a Saturday morning and it seemed as if everyone in the neighborhood was there. Many were congregating waiting for their drinks, but everyone waited very patiently. The baristas were kind -- despite the never ending line of customers. I can't wait to go back and try some of the other creative lattes and some of the pastries. read more

I typically judge a coffee shop's quality on their drip brew, and High Hat serves up a mean cup. They have 3 carafes of different brewed coffees light-dark, and brew in small batches so you're sure to get fresh coffee. So, not only is it a destination because of how cute it is, but it's a destination for what they are serving. I'm excited to try the espresso next! read more

Hi Hat Coffee - Such a good place - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Westwood Hills, Kansas

Square footage and WiFi are not part of this great little venue's DNA, but a quaint neighborhood with a relaxing patio is just the setting for this place. Normally I grade tough, but Hi Hat is good at exactly what they are there for: coffee. It's not Italian words for sizes or constantly inventing drink flavors to keep your attention, it's well-done artisan coffee drinks in a small space for the right reasons. The prices are reasonable and the product is wonderful, and if you like Adirondack chairs and a quiet patio, then this is your jam. I aim to go back and try the Aztec hot chocolate, but I sampled the dark roast (very good) while my sidekick did the Sandstone, a meld of mocha and coffee and very yum. Great place - glad I made time for it. read more

Hi Hat is a such great local coffee shop. Adorable store front with relaxed outdoor seating. You will always see groups of people hangout there on the weekends. I love their creative coffee flavors. My favorite frozen drink is the classic blended bee. It has just the right amount of honey for a little bit of sweetness blended with their bold espresso, absolutely delicious and refreshing! Recently, I tried the toasted almond latte. I'm a huge fan of almond flavored treats, and this drink was amazing. I was a little hesitant because almond flavoring can be overpowering sometimes, but this had a great balanced flavor and sweetness. read more

I don't get by here as often as I used to since it's no longer on my daily commute but it didn't surprise me today when I popped in that I was received with the same warm small talk that has always been a core skill of the staff. It's always been clear that they make an attempt to connect with everyone that comes in. It could be through commenting on their outfit or asking their plans for the day and then following that up with additional thoughtful questions. It's incredibly welcoming and the type of service and interactions I crave. Thank you for always staying true to that level of customer service! read more
