It had been YEARS since I'd been to Homers when I walked in for a meeting earlier this week and while not much had changed, I was really impressed and surprised with my cold brew. Some back story: I used to live in this neighborhood and before I lived here my husband (then boyfriend) lived here so I've spent some solid time in Old Overland Park. Before the Parisi opened in 2020 Homers was the only coffee option in this area so I'd ended up here for meetings, or to grab a cup to go many times. I'd say before this week I had pegged Homers as more of a three star spot. It was very hit or miss, and the vibes weren't hitting it for me. Just my personal preference. Speed up to Wednesday when Parisi was packed and I had a meeting on the calendar. My colleague suggested we move over to Homers since there were no tables at Parisi and I had a wonderful time here this week. My cold brew was on par, if not better than local competitors, the barista super friendly, and the space felt homey in a good way. I'll need a few more great visits to move up into 5 star territory but they are on the right path and I love that this return visit totally changed my mind about this local spot. read more

Homer's Coffee House - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

Yesterday was my second time visiting Homer's. A solid drink menu, house made pastries and comfortable seating arrangements make this place a good option for taking a respite while visiting downtown Overland Park. I especially love their embrace of the local arts with not just art on the walls for sale, but they had an artist set up inside meeting and selling his craft and a four piece jazz band playing live. Thank you Homer's for support local artists! read more

Went to Homer's for the first time! The ambiance is great -- great for hanging out or for studying/reading. We got the Thai Supreme and a special that tasted like a Heath bar. Both great beverages but too milky for my liking. read more

One of my fav coffee places in Overland Park (I think it's better than all the ones in the crossroads too). They have tons of flavor options: I usually go with a toffee cappuccino or an iced toffee latte, depending on the weather! they also have live music frequently, so check their Instagram for any upcoming dates--it's a great vibe! Workers are always very nice too. read more

In love with the matcha and espresso brownie! So glad I ventured into downtown Overland Park.

Cute little coffee shop in downtown Overland Park. I hopped in for coffee and a pastry this Sunday morning. I absolutely loved the taste of their espresso! I got the Mocha which was perfectly selectable. I was a bit hungry so I also grabbed the quiche. They had three homemade quiches one of which was vegan. I opted for the bacon one personally. It was good! It had a strong garlic taste. The only downfall was that it was a bit cold in the center. The texture was great though. The baristas were friendly and the music was perfect. The seating was open but there was a lot of it. Had a great experience and will be back soon! read more

This place is real chill and has great coffee. The pastries are bomb too, especially the scones. The staff is attentive and quick and is happy to serve. Weekends the have live music which is also real nice. read more

Checked in to Homer this morning for a vanilla latte. Ended up getting their "coconut dream cold brew" Decent injection of coconut flavor into the cold brew. Not too bitter not too sweet. I'd say, "Perfect balance" read more

Homer's Coffee House - Coconut dream cold Brewed Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

Had a nice meet up with family here. The drink I got was solid and there was ample seating.

My favorite coffee spot of many to choose from in old OP. They serve Marcell coffee, a local roaster that's delicious. Lots of fun espresso drinks. A must try in the summer is their coconut dream cold brew. A regular cold brew coffee with coconut milk and coconut cold foam on top. Not too sweet - a great flavor profile that captures all the elements that matter in a well blended coffee drink. You know you've found a good coffee spot when the drinks are equally good cold or hot. The Mexican mocha is a great winter pick, as is their basic drip coffee - nothing fancy needed. The only lost star is their pastries. Not much to choose from and they are "meh" at best. I can't comment on their food because I typically only go for a morning coffee after a walk through the farmers market. Love that they have live music at select times, and they often bring in small arts and crafts vendors to support the local community. Can't go wrong with a stop at Homers. Spot on coffee, comfortable and spacious atmosphere, great location. Well done Homers! read more

We had not been in Homer's for quite some time and we really enjoyed our visit. Homer's is spacious and comfortable and has a relaxing quiet atmosphere. We really enjoyed the seating that wraps around 2 sides of the building. They have good quality coffee and tea and we each enjoyed a treat and I was happy that they had gluten free options. I also like that a portion of their proceeds help with a variety of local ministries to help various communities. I liked that they had a hygiene pantry outside for anyone that needed an item. The service was friendly and good. We will be back! read more

If you've been in downtown OP recently, then you know things are rapidly changing. But there are still anchors amidst all of the hubbub, and Homer's is one of those mainstays adrift in the controlled chaos. Homer's offers a nice coffeehouse that is doing artisanal coffee drinks and some darn good baked yummies. There is plenty of space to settle in and read or work while you enjoy your coffee or tea, and the environment offers sidewalk seating as well for nice days. The coffee itself is pretty good, a robust house blend, or they offer a bean of the day, such as Guatemalan. My foodie sidekick sampled their Thai Supreme, a breve with sweetened condensed milk, and it registered pretty well. Maybe a touch too milky, but if you love a Vietnamese coffee, then this might be your jam. I had to sample the quiche, which was a summer tomato & mozzarella offering, and it was smashingly delish! Perfectly fluffy and not overdone, just the right alternative to some of their other baked goods. Pro tip: try the handmade Pop-tarts, which are always outstanding. The baristas are always exceptionally friendly and when there is local music on stage, they speak up for those of us who can't focus well even in peace times. Parking is kind of first-come, first-served, but it's always within a short amount of steps. Pricing may be a bit higher than some spots, but the value is there. Great local biz offering a good menu top to bottom with a comfortable setting will always bring me back. read more

Seem to be a lot of diverse people in the cafe so that is a plus for me. I got a sandwich that was almost $10 and super overpriced. I was like that's ok because I am going to do my work here. Then I ask for the wifi, and then I tell them it's not working. They act shocked and say they lost power an hour ago. I feel like if you see someone walking into your coffee shop alone with a laptop, you should tell them before they order if the internet is down. I didn't come for your sandwiches! Anyways they tried to reset the router and it didn't work so I ate my sandwich and left. Now I still need to find a place to do some work. I probably won't be back if I can help it. read more

Quick & delicious coffee. There's a large sitting area for working & hanging out. Priced fairly. 2 20oz coffees were around $13. read more

I visited Homer's today to grab an iced vanilla latte while I was in Downtown Overland Park. The service was very friendly and very quick. There is LOTS of seating inside and some seating outside. The atmosphere is very chill, perfect for a working remote situation or reading. Most of the seating is tables, but there are some comfy chairs scattered throughout. I'd highly recommend Homer's Coffee House if you're in the Downtown Overland Park area. read more

Great spot in downtown OP. Plenty of seating, live events every so often. Have some good seasonal drink options. Would come again Vegan friendly read more

We came in 3 HOURS before closing time, ordered a drip coffee and they told us they were out after we paid. Barista was so kind and offered to give us another drink but kinda shocked a coffee shop runs out of drip coffee and doesn't offer to make more considering it's such a long time until close. Packaged pretzels were fire though. read more

Labor Day weekend, I was in town for the Irish fest, and I wanted to stop here but didn't manage to make it. So, the next time I was in town, this was top on my list. It just so happened that there was a fall festival in the neighborhood on the day, so that made parking an adventure. I had the Angel Caramello, and let me just say, highly recommended! If I wasn't afraid of getting towed (again, it was an iffy parking situation the day I visited), I probably would have hung out here for awhile. Very inviting! Will definitely stop by again sometime. read more

Homer's Coffee House - Inside - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

A staple in the area for many years, feels like you're back in 2005. Not the spot for true coffee snobs or a streamlined coffee shop atmosphere, but a perfectly acceptable location to get work done or meet a friend. Can't speak to the sandwiches or food but the chai latte was mediocre at best read more

Stopped by for the first time after visiting the farmers market. The shop is cute and the staff was friendly. I got a seasonal cold brew with coconut vanilla "cold foam". It tasted okay, but not great. The "cold foam" was some barely frothed milk. I may give them a try again when I'm in the area, but it's not one of the coffee shops I will seek out. read more

Delicious. Top 3 caramel latte in KC. Cute little small town atmosphere and friendly staff

I wanted food that wasn't fast food came here and the customer service was amazing super sweet! I didn't get the guys name who helped me but he was amazing the food was great! I definitely recommend everything is super affordable very friendly staff! read more

Are used to live near homers and stop in all the time. Now I'm not so close, but stop in whenever I'm in the area. It's a pleasant environment with the coffee drinks you'd expect, and a tasty Mexican mocha. On the tables, and some comfortable couches and chairs. The staff are always friendly. Love this place. read more

My first time at this coffeeshop, in old Town Overland Park. Room and comfortable. Smooth, generous cup of latte in a porcelain. The Hymnuts jazz band was playing that night. They are astounding. The crowd was lit up with excitement. I already have friends wanting to go back with me. read more

I was headed to the amazing Overland Park Farmer's Market and found street parking near Homer's. I decided to pop in for a few reasons: I hadn't ever been in before, The Wild Way hasn't come to the market this year, and last time I came to the market there was one stand selling cold Starbucks coffee out of jugs. As I walked around with my iced coffee later, I discovered others had noticed the coffee gap at the market and there was now a glut of stands selling lattes and coffee. I digress. My reasoning aside, I decided to check out this spot. As I walked in, it was bright, busy, and there were a surprising number of people working or studying for 9a on a Saturday morning. The place was really big, and had cool options like a printer you could use. The staff was super friendly. I tried the quiche for breakfast. They reheated it in a toaster oven or something similar looking and when I started to eat it, it was lukewarm. It was super tasty despite the temperature. Although Homer's is big and has a ton of seating, I struggled to find a clean table, and ended up having to wipe a table down myself with some napkins. Overall, a great coffee shop with friendly staff, plentiful seating, good coffee, and good food. read more

Not anything too crazy, but had lots of open seating on a busy Saturday morning. Short wait, and overall friendly staff. read more

I stopped in to grab a quick coffee before hitting the road, so I didn't get to enjoy Homer's quite as much - but inside it is quiet, clean, and very cozy. The perfect spot to meet up with friends or get some work done! I'll definitely come back to meet friends. My cold brew was good - not the best coffee I've ever had, but a solid, reliable option for a caffeine fix. Next time I'm trying one of the delicious looking muffins! read more

I have lived in the area for over 15 years and this was the first time trying Homers. I spent about $14 for a 20 oz cold brew, 20 oz fruit smoothie and a chocolate chip muffin. My son disliked the muffin and said it tasted like cardboard. I had a bite and it was quite dry but the most disappointing part was my cold brew coffee. It was so bitter I couldn't drink it. I choked down less than a third of it before throwing the rest out. My daughter had the fruit smoothie and it wasn't anything spectacular. Will definitely not be going back. read more

A classic tradition of coffee and teas, but offer gluten-free cookies. Inclusion to all based on ethically and morally sourced standards and creative thought is really doing God's work. It is a safe place to relax and unwind while the staff stays up-to-date and transparent to the inter-personal relationships of its customers and surrounding businesses. I have had the gluten-free cookie and it was nutritious. I wish them well, God bless! read more

Super quaint. Off Metcalf & 80th with parking! Many choices for coffee and not anymore expensive then Starbucks, but MUCH better. I purchased the medium Angel Caramello and my other half got the large Maple Cinnamon Latte. Both drinks came to around $10-11. We were walked through the process with it being our first time in. I was asked what type of milk in my coffee and I'm glad I was (I am not able to have high fat content at the moment). I would highly recommend stopping in even if you just grab and go. They also have a lot of wonderful looking pastries and snacks as well as a small selection of sandwiches. I will be returning once I am allowed to eat a better selection of food. read more

Their mocha hazelnut freeze is perfection and the espresso brownie is addictive. I appreciate their late hours.

Homer's is a cute little spot, it reminds me of home. Staff was very friendly. I believe on Friday nights they have live music- I would call to make sure though. We stopped by on our way to dinner-really enjoyed the music. I ordered hot chocolate- it was okay. They have a very tiny parking lot but street parking is also available- both are free. read more

Cute place and lots of comfortable seating. The tomato mozzarella quiche was amazing. The protein balls were also good. They had fruit and yogurt cups, scones, muffins and special bread. Coffee was smooth and not too bitter. Good place for conversation with a friend or studying. Lots of parking nearby but you have to contend with customers at other businesses. read more

Seen this place many times but never been in. Had a cup of coffee and it was great. One of the better "house" coffees I've had. Great menu items and the atmosphere was great. Got packed so it's obviously a great place. I will try again. They also do live music. read more

Have made several visits here over the years, even dating back to my pre-Yelp days which is probably 10 years ago. Stopped in today to get a flat white for the drive home... no way I'm popping in with a laptop these days and sucking wireless and joe without a mask on. And yet (unrelated to this review of course), I counted 7 people doing just that. Good grief. An espresso drink to go is rarely a pretty thing. Not looking for any latte art, just taste. Found the temperature well under my liking, the roast kind of on the lighter side, possibly their choice. Bottom line: a cup that could be pure goodness but didn't live up to my expectation. Good enough, not great. The interior, as observed by others, could use a fresh update in comparison to most venues billing themselves as an urban coffee shop. It's not that I'm down on the place, and don't get me wrong, I like that it's here, but just don't see it as the kind of place that's a destination to seek out. So 3 or 4 stars it'd be. I'm happy their average is 4, but end the end it's not the kind of atmosphere and coffee that gets me really excited about being a coffee drinker, so 3 it is. read more

I think that Homer's is absolutely fantastic and is definitely in the running of my top 5 coffee shops in Kansas City. The two times I've been there, the baristas have been middle aged (I'm guessing in their 40's) but absolutely hilarious. Baristas have made me smile. Baristas have made me chuckle. But no one has made me laugh during the ordering process, while I am enjoying my drink, and as I was walking out the door. Today, I told the enthusiastic lady that I wanted to try something incredibly unique and creative. They immediately put on their game faces and said they would brew up any combination of flavors I wanted. Excellent. My mind started to formulate ideas. Needless to say, the drink I ended up getting wasn't all that creative. They shot down my idea of adding raspberry to their Coffee Toffee Freeze. I ended up getting a Blended Mango Mocha and a lemon poppy seed muffin. I was in mango bliss as I slurped my drink. I even went up to the counter before I left to thank them for the excellent drink.... That was when they admitted to trying it and hating it. I must have a crazy coffee pallet because I adored the blend. Anyway, after some intense discussion of whether or not my drink was delicious, they decided to name my creation after me. It is officially called "Sara's Mango Mocha Freeze." :D read more
