    Bit out of the way to be a regular patron but in the area shopping this was a great choice up north! Popped in a bit before closing and Ashley was more than happy to serve me. Fancy a summer special Dubai Chocolate Latte, iced with coconut milk... exotic, plenty of chocolaty goodness, not too much pistachios flavor, topped shredded kataifi & whipped cream. Ol so good! Love the earthy aesthetic and positive inspirations on the walls. Coffee on hand to buy and a board that let you know the source for each type of drink. Love that!

    First time being here and loved it! We tried several drinks and enjoyed each one. I'm usually not a sweet drink person, but liked the Dubai Chocolate Frappe a lot! Definitely enjoyed the atmosphere of the place, even if it's a little loud. The staff were very friendly and had a fun, unique way of tracking orders to allow everyone to find space.

    Came here after other coffee shop disappointingly closed early. However, there was a reason I must say because I wouldn't have found this new coffee shop. It's nestled in a strip mall area, and it only stays open until 6, which isn't great, but better than other places that close at 4 or even 2! The coffee was bold, full-bodied and delightful. I enjoyed it with a very rich dark chocolate muffin. I give the barrista guy behind the counter credit because he was all by himself taking orders and preparing lattes and coffee. Great job at how he handled it all.

    The best kind of coffeehouse. Their philosophy is to provide an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome, including employing young adults with intellectual disabilities. We definitely felt this! We were warmly welcomed in, our friend is a regular there so she was greeted like a friend. The ambiance was really cool, the decor and murals were pretty and lent themselves to coffeehouse vibes. I got the caramel cream cold brew, a summer specialty. Not too sweet which I like, and the right amount of caffeine zing. My husband got the Dubai chocolate frappe. It was pretty sweet but such a unique drink! The matcha was made with real matcha powder, always a bonus for me. Drinks took a little longer to make, but they have a sign that says that at the register and it was no problem at all. Supporting local with a great business model is everything.

    Hull House Coffee was such an experience! From the moment we walked in, every staff member greeted us with warmth and patience. It was especially appreciated since we were a bit indecisive (we brought our boys, so... you know how that goes). For starters, the boys both ordered the cinnamon bread and in their words, it was a solid 10/10! Of course, as responsible parents, we had to do some quality control (aka take a few bites), and honestly--it was so good we immediately regretted not ordering a third... maybe even a fourth. For drinks, the boys kept it simple with waters, while I went for an iced Dubai Matcha. It's usually made as a latte, but I asked if they could do it in a matcha style--and they delivered. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and I was thoroughly impressed. My boyfriend had the iced Toffee Crunch Latte, and it was just as delicious! If you're ever in the Northland, do yourself a favor and check out Hull House Coffee. The service, the drinks, the food--all of it was amazing. We'll definitely be back... and next time, we're not sharing the cinnamon bread.

    The space is very quaint and cute and the concept is one that is important to support. They had a lot speciality, seasonal drinks on their menu and I couldn't resist a lovely coffee flight. The coffee was less sweet than I was used to, but still good and super adorable. Great space to work, but the prices are a bit high, especially for the Northland. So just be prepared to pay a bit more.

    I visited Hull House on a quiet Wednesday morning, ordering a drip coffee with creamer. The employees were friendly, the coffee is roasted in-house, and they knew where their coffee was sourced. They have a nice place to sit and chill. I'd come again!

    The coffee and service were great! No notes, loved my toffee crunch latte. Big fan of the relaxing space!

    Here's the thing, I can tell the owners have started this business for all the right reasons. I'm just worried about a few things. Everything was good. Not great, not bad, but good. There is nothing that stands out uniquely about this place that makes you want to come back. Rochester in Parkville has the unique atmosphere, burritos, sandwiches, baked goods, and beer. Headrush has their unique outdoor seating, special teas, seasonal drinks, baked goods, specialty coffee, biking community, Messenger has ibis bakery, great work atmosphere, location, specialty coffee, community space, Cafe Cá Phê has their unique drinks being the only Vietnamese coffee shop in Kc, boba, community, a figure head owner, beautiful atmosphere Thou Mayest has a great study space, always busy, cigars, bartenders, cozy lounge areas, location. The point being is that there is a reason why these coffee shops are the best in Kc and continually bring in customers. They have something unique to them, they are warm and inviting, make you want to stay longer, and feel apart of a living and breathing community space. Hull house coffee is average on all fronts. Ok coffee, somewhat empty unexciting atmosphere, very weak bakery selection, lack of quality theme, alright location. But there is nothing here you can't find somewhere else. Which is made worse because the location is set in an area where people spend very little time around. Another review here points out that you can watch all the business go by while they stop at Dutch bros. People north of the river are harder to stop and attract because you need to drive everywhere. So you need to be twice or even three times better than the competition to be something. I hope they continue to develop their shop, as I love supporting local businesses rather than franchises. Yet they will have to really think outside the box to make this place something people want to get up early to visit, because as of right now-I bet all of their customers are going somewhere else.

    Directly behind the new Dutch Brothers Coffee on Barry Rd. lies the month old Hull House Coffee. A labor of love that the Hull family opened to create a place that their son with disabilities could work and prosper. Not only that but provide opportunities for young adults like him to also find work, learn skills and make their way. As I sat and enjoyed my perfect cortado (roasted in-house), I watched the line of cars never go less than 6 cars deep at the corporate behemoth across the empty lot, while I sat alone on a Saturday afternoon inside this charming cafe. It was infuriating! I was able to have a long and wonderful conversation with co-owner / dad John about their struggles, goals and coffee in general - I was even gifted some beans to sample at home and report back on the quality. Kansas City - if you want to live up to your generous Midwestern hospitality, then get out of line and drive 100 yards north and have a much better / authentic coffee experience that gives back so much to the community instead of skimming the profits and sending them to corporate headquarters in Oregon. Kansas City and the Northland especially deserves an independent shop like Hull House Coffee - so lets get behind them and show them and ourselves that we don't need anymore corporate chains to make our lives better.

    Saved by the Friendly Bean! This hidden gem is in Oak Barry Center near At Home and Price Chopper…read more Easy to spot once you know it's there, but it's not flashy -- just good coffee in a quiet corner. It's been a while since I've stopped by, and shame on me, but I was so glad it was open as I had errands to run and needed a coffee pick-me-up! This drive-thru offers great coffee, awesome flavors, and friendly service. I got the medium Butterbeer Latte made with Irish cream and butterscotch. So so tasty! Loved it! They offer a variety of coffees, chai, and matcha topped with great prices. They do have seating space to go in and enjoy your coffee break if you want, but LOVE the convenience of a good drive-thru! What I love about these small local coffee shops is they have their own unique flavors and seasonal menus. Putting this one in my coffee house rotation for sure!

The place is pretty small with just a table and 2 chairs for waiting, they also have a drive thru which I believe is best because the inside is so small and can't really fit lots of people but I do however appreciate that they still have the inside open for those who are like me and still like stepping into places. I honestly wish this was closer to my house but now I have a go to spot when I'm visiting my grandma.
