The area is a bit run down but don't let that deter you from stopping in. Outside there is an old 1943 dc-3 on top of the building as a tribute coffee, aviation, and the company's roots. The plane is named after the founder's mother "Betty". It's also a nod to how the company "air roasts" their coffee. When you walk in the vibe feels industrial, aviation-themed, and cozy. I ordered a caramel latte and asked for it to be served in a ceramic. The coffee was excellent as always and this is my go to coffee shop in Kansas City. If you are in the area I highly recommend stopping in for a cup of coffee. Also, there are certain days where you can tour the factory if you are interested in that as well.

My only issues with my experience was the long line and sparse seating available, but I visited over the weekend following Christmas so it may have been busier than usual. Once I got to the front of the line, I was greeted by the friendly barista and placed my order. I got a 12 oz. Latte with spiced brown sugar syrup and it was delicious! The latte was very smooth and creamy, and had the perfect amount of syrup to complement the espresso taste. There were two stocked refrigerators and some snacks available in line if you want a quick soda or snack. Note that you can only take food and beverages to the coffee shop area and lobby entrance to the museum!

Decent Latte, Convenient Location, Fairly Overpriced. I…read morereally enjoy the experience of the Thou Mayest location down in River Market. It has a full bar and is overflowing with personality. However, the same can not be said for the outpost inside the Nelson Atkins. It is bland and sad, I don't mind paying $7 for a coffee if the vibes of the coffee shop come correct, but, in this case, you're really only paying the price for the ease of the location being inside the museum. The expresso itself is good quality too, but it's not justifiable for a subpar coffee shop interaction. After walking around for a few hours, I grew thirsty, so I was willing to pay an arm and a leg for my iced decaf latte if that's what it took. Instead, I ended up paying nearly $7 for a drink that wasn't even filled up all the way... sheesh! Also, don't come close to closing. It was about 10 min till 5 pm, and the batista wanted nothing to do with any of the customers. Hopefully, an experience here with a tourist won't scare them away from Kansas City's vibrant coffee culture. Just do yourself a favor and wait until you're out of the museum to get your beverage... or visit the real Thou Mayest in River Market!

I really like this location of Crow's coffee, they have solid specialty drinks and drip coffee is…read morealways solid. They probably have my favorite Americano in the city, though it could be a bit stronger. One thing I would like to point out is how good their scones are, I dream about their rosemary parmesan variety at least once a day. I'm not sure if those are made in house or if they source them from somewhere, but either way they are very good and I love to snag one when I stop by to grab a cup. All the barista's are very nice and easy to talk to, and the interior of the location is very welcoming and cozy. I've started making it a Sunday tradition to go in and read from one of their lounging chairs for a couple of hours while having a bite to eat and a few cups of coffee, it's a new favorite place for me. I can't say whether or not it's a all-time great coffee spot for everyone, but for me having it so close is super convenient and nice, and the solid coffee and staff interactions make this my go to. In the future, I would love to see more of a dark roast bean be available for me to have.

Today was my first day using a cane after weeks of weaning myself off of crutches and I was moving pretty slow. As I approached the counter I was looking for a seasonal drink menu to see what unique beverage could kick-start my afternoon. I didn't see one anywhere and asked if they had any seasonal offerings from the barista. She looked puzzled and annoyed and said "here is our syrup list". I stated that I was looking for more of a seasonal drink menu or featured beverages not on the regular menu that most every coffee house offers. In an exasperated tone, she turned around and pointed at the main menu board with all the basics and replied; "This is what we serve". Wow! I politely ordered my go-to cortado for here and left a tip. I then hobbled over to the nearest table to the pick-up counter and waited. A few minutes later the same barista brought the drink to the counter, looked at me an entire 4 feet away and shouted "cortado" and walked away. Wow again! If I was in the business of customer service and receiving tips I would be damn sure to take the beverage to the customer when they're 48 inches away and the shop wasn't busy; regardless of customer mobility issues. I have never asked for a tip back, but I sure felt like it at that moment. My Cortado was tasty, but not enough to remove the foul taste in my mouth from blatant customer disrespect. In my over 200 coffee shop reviews, this is my first time giving such a low score. Adios Crow's.

After several visits over the years, I've only had their coffee and pastries, not their cafe food. The interior is cute and there's often a queue upon entering to order at the counter, but don't let that intimidate you because it moves fast. I recommend getting some of their water on tap (both still and sparkling water are available) if you have to wait! If you're queer like me, you'll likely be drinking a cold black coffee and they have options! They have a regular cold brew in 3 sizes, a cold brew of the moment / seasonal (ask about it!) and a cold brew shandy for something different. My partner and I got two different cold brews on tap today, the original and the Seasonal Single Origin Honduran one. The single origin Honduran was better, but their original was good too. There's a lot of seating, but it's usually taken up, so I tend to just take my coffee to go. Expect to walk out for around $6ish a cup. They clearly care about providing you a good experience with a strong cup of coffee. Give them a shot if you're in downtown Overland Park!

A father and daughter duo next to me showed up in a dandy double breasted suit and a princess dress. I wish the food was as good as the vibe. The coffee, while decent, was lukewarm and the scone I got was stale and dry, coming close to inedible. This, at a cost of nearly $11 after tax. It's near terrible food definitely doesn't stop people from coming in, again, you are in one of the nicest areas of downtown OP and have limited coffee competition, so I guess food quality isn't your number one concern.

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.
