    Blueberry muffin
    Christina B.

    My husband and I tried out this coffee shop on Saturday. The staff was friendly and attentive and brought out our order. I had the sugar-free oat milk iced latte and my husband had a hot Irish cream latte. I also had the gluten-free chocolate brownie and he had a blueberry muffin. The brownie and muffin were very good and he said his latte was excellent. Unfortunately, my latte was not that good and it's probably just because it was sugar-free. I'm sure if I would've gotten a regular syrup it would've been fine. Quite a few coffee shops when I order sugar-free have an overly saccharin taste to them and this sugar-free syrup did as well. The coffee shop was clean and attractive, and the ambience was and the music was a good level. The bathrooms were clean as well. The only negative is that I thought the seating was uncomfortable. I have some low back issues, but even without the low back issues, I think the seating would be too hard. I started off sitting at a bench against the wall that had cushion seating and some pillows, but then I switched to the opposite chair that was a type of rattan chair. But that was uncomfortable as well, so we ended up leaving. I think overall the coffee shop is very nice, it's quite a distance from our house so we probably wouldn't go again only for that reason.

    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!

    Dubai Chocolate Frappe

    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!

    Toffee crunch iced latte

    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.

    The time has come. I have lived in Parkville for 4 years now and have been going to Rochester since…read morethe day after I moved here from California and yea it's time. In the 4 years I have lived here they have switched owners once so I am speaking for the most recent and active owners. First of all bravo. Second of all the chicken bacon panini is the best sandwich I've ever had and have ordered this at least 37 times. Lastly, make no mistake I WANT to gate keep this place but I realized it really doesn't matter how busy this place gets it's still mine at the end of the day because I'm a local so all you buttholes have to drive but it's mine! Ha ha!! (Evil laugh) Okay okay for serious Easy to find because it's a train cart cafe yes you heard right a train cart cafe! It's adorable and so aesthetically pleasing to chill at. Parking easy peasy. Pets welcome. Steps and a ramp to get with multiple outdoor seating areas and multiple indoor seating areas. Definitely wheelchair friendly Phenomenal service always so friendly and soooo dang cute!!! Pricing is fair for what I trust is quality drinks and food. My ONLY negative is the rewards system. So I spend about 100$ a week at Rochester for myself and my family. If you buy a single drink you gain a reward (a star) and if you buy three drinks two pastries and two chicken bakes about 50$.... Which is usually what I buy I get one reward. So. I'm a local I spend a lot there I'd like to feel more appreciated lol point blank is i went before there was a rewards system in place. Does it kind of sting a little in this economy? Yea but man I really do love Rochester my whole family does. I guess you can just place a few orders if it bugs you too but I'm gonna keep going no matter what. Right now they have a drink called "Bugjuice" it's superb. Matcha lemonade mix it's heavenly and is my go to drink right now. Try it! And !!! If you make it in early in the weekends try their fritters!

    Loved my seasonal iced lattes (it's July- I had the Neapolitan and the Orange vanilla coffees-…read moreyum!). Staff is so friendly and helpful. Interior is amazing. The sweet potato and black bean breakfast burrito was a little mushy- I'll try another flavor next time. Areas to improve: I think that more electrical outlets are needed (come with a fully charged laptop). Also both of the fun little up-above places to sit were covered in crumbs when I scoped them out for possible seating- I think the staff could do more sweeps of the area when business gets slow- I was there for four hours getting work done, and it was slow, and nothing was cleaned up.

I wanted to try the s'mores cold brew and one of Chingu's famous breakfast burritos. And today happened to be the day! The employees are friendly and make things fresh to order. My cold brew was delicious and full of flavor, and the marshmallow cold foam took it to the next level for me. My Chingu sausage burrito was served hot and had a great flavor too. The red go sauce has an asian flair to it. I loved it! And it is a great complement to the sausage, egg, cheese and potato in the fresh tortilla. It was probably the best breakfast burrito that I have had! Wow! Such a fun local coffee shop that you have to visit!

    We had taken our grandson to the Green Hills library, which Novella is located inside right side…read morewhen you walk in. The coffee shop is bright and airy. It surrounded by windows, which is nice and they have a cool overhead display of tons of white coffee mugs at varying he suspended above. The coffee was good, my husband had a hot honey badger latte with oat milk, and I had an iced honey badger latte with oat milk. We both enjoyed them. The service was not very good. I originally went to the counter to pick up a menu and look at it before we walked over since my grandson was playing in the children's area. I wasn't even standing by the cash register, but standing to the side and the young girl that worked there was rude and asking if I needed anything. I just told her that I was looking at the menu prior to coming back to order and then asked about any syrup for a tea. So then eventually, we did go back and she was rude that time, but not only to me but pretty much everyone that walked up there. She was the only worker so I don't know if she felt overwhelmed, even though there wasn't a ton of people coming up there or if that was her regular attitude. But barista's make up a good portion of whether people enjoy a space. The table and chairs were contemporary basic and for some reason in that particular coffee shop I felt like everyone was on view and really didn't seem like you had privacy. So we chose to take our coffee into the Knies library area against a large window that overlooked prairie, grasses, and wildflowers and enjoyed it there. So I would say a five star for the coffee, but it's getting a three star for the barista, the two times that I interacted with her and the seating.
