If you're in Leavenworth, Kansas you MUST stop in for a visit!…read more Immediately upon entering I was greeted with a friendly hello and an offer of their current tea samples. They had two hot and one iced. Before I even entered too far into the quaint shop, Kim mentioned tea samples--not just to drink but a small bag of loose leaf. She was the sweetest--in my conversation with her while I entered the store, I said I had just checked in on Yelp. Yelp said something about an ounce (seems like too much to just give away...), the samples were less than that, but I didn't mind, I thought it was cool they even did that--she ended up letting me choose two--so hard to decide when the two I chose sounded delicious! They have a fantastic array of teas: black, herbal, tisanes, green to name a few of their loose leaf teas. They also have an assortment of boxed/tin of teas too and from various companies. I tried the iced one they were sampling (Strawberry & Vanilla) from London Fruit & Herb Company. It was so refreshing I bought a box! I told Kim I was hosting a small afternoon tea for my Mum's birthday and she had some wonderful ideas! Not only for the teas from which to choose, but also some noshes to pair with them. While loading my arms with all the goodness, Kailee popped over and offered a basket for my finds! Thank you!! Everyone there is friendly and knowledgeable. Case in point, after having tried the iced tea, i asked out to make it with correct proportions of tea:water:ice, to which Kim supplied not only a verbal answer, but also gave me a card with brewing directions! Hooray! I love dropping by, at the very least to see if they have anything new, but also because they're a local company that has loose leaf teas--seems hard to procure sometimes. Queen's Pantry offers a variety of British fare and beautiful cups/mugs and accoutrements to help either a newbie to loose leaf teas or a long-time connoisseur. Not sure how it happened, but I let with more than just new to me loose leaf teas! **wink wink**

I was there for the spices so I didn't take a close look at everything they have to offer, but I'm glad I stopped in and will definitely be back.

There are so many amazing coffee shops in the kansas city area, and every time I try a new one it…read morebecomes my favorite. This one was no exception, but I do believe it might remain the reigning champion. First of all it is a coffee shop in the basement of a church, and its name implies that it is religious. So the reviews that act surprised or give lower ratings for that reason are silly gooses. The ambiance is outstanding! It is a whole vibe. You are surrounded by books, some of the tables have pew seating, there is a kids area, they sell T shirts cheap ($7) and used books at an amazing deal. New books are priced as marked with regular retail pricing. I was shocked at the number if new hooks they had. The crowning jewel for me was they have natural house made (or local bought) syrups so you are not getting a run of the mill commercially based anything. I expected that to limit their menu but it didn't! I had the caramel crunch chai, hands down best chai I have ever tasted. I wanted to chug it. My friend loved her drink that had winter mint! I also splurged on a winter pomegranate spritz and cake pops to go. This is a coffee shop where you come in, slow down and enjoy the experience. I do not recommend this place if you want a quick coffee to go. The Barista was exceptional and she put time and effort into each drink. She did get backed up because she was all alone when a coworker called in and got slammed! She was clearly overwhelmed but never once rushed a conversation or made any of the customers feel like she didn't have time for them. Rare beauty in this rushed world we live in. She encouraged checking out the gorgeous sanctuary and stained glass windows upstairs in the sanctuary and shared stories about them. I never once felt like I was in a church basement- if that makes sense. It was warm, cozy and inviting. This is my new weekly spot! PS the kids area has a full tote of scrapbooking stuff, and the tables all have cards where you can write up a handwritten note and they send them of somewhere to spread joy and kindness. It does not get better than this.

The last I knew that the space had been an events / wedding hall, a B and B and vacant. Little did I know was that it had been reformed as an Anglican church and the coffee shop was being ran by the church in the basement. The vibe was just kinda weird...it's basically a cluttered Christian book store and gift shop serving coffee and sandwiches. The staff were polite but not very welcoming; I felt like I was intruding on a private function that didn't want me there. I took my Mocha Cream Breve' and went out on the patio for some views of the beautiful historic structure. When asked about their source for coffee beans, I was told "we get em from someplace in Arkansas". OK!?? I'm sure that some demographic here in the bible belt will find this basement quaint and charming, but it just gave me a desire to go spend my money at a more secular venue.

Only thing is the pricing is a bit high... the T-shirts are thin and soft - but some adult ones are $36 (XL men's) and the kids ones are $32 (size 8 kids).

This is a chain and it's also at MCI Kansas City airport (Concourse A - MCI only has 1 terminal w 2 Concourses A & B) and the prices there are only $1 more expensive so if you don't want more stuff in bags, but it at the airport once you get through security.
