What a nice little coffee shop! This is your typical millennial coffee shop (in the best way possible!), it has the different textured walls, exposed brick, super friendly service, and various seating. I really enjoyed their infused, bottled cold brews and thought that was a very cool concept. Didn't try the food, but they had a variety of pastries and donuts for sale. I would for sure come back here! read more

Oddly Correct - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

I visited while I was in town for work and I loved it. The cold brew was given to me in a jar with a koozie with their logo on it, which I thought was so much cooler than a plastic cup that would end up in a landfill anyway. Not to mention the cold brew was delicious. I also loved the artwork so I bought basically all of their merchandise. I will be sure to visit anytime I am in town. read more

This is a great coffee house for someone who wishes to read a book, or visit quietly with others. The staff is very friendly, and my hot chocolate was first-rate. I will return soon! read more

This is where it all started for my coffee passion. They believe in their coffee and consistently roast and serve coffee at the highest standards. Mostly purists, you won't find pumps of sugary liquids here. They recently committed to environmental stewardship by only serving coffee in jars to reduce waste. It's over the top for some, but I find their commitment passionate and impressive. If you are a fan of top quality coffee and a variety of amazing roasts, this is the place for you. read more

These guys are AHHHHHHHHMAZING!!! ***************** Do yourself a favor and just go in here! Especially if you like coffee. Love coffee?! Even better! They roast and prep biscuits next door. Craft coffees and bake in the cafe space on the corner. Come to people watch. Come to drink some of the city's best coffee. This place is MECCA in KC for coffee. Their service is top notch! The baristas, roasters, and bakers are phenomenally trained to give the best, make the best Again, just go in! read more

I've made no secret of my fandom of Oddly Correct, as I think they're one of the small businesses that is helping to put KC on the foodie map. These people roast excellent coffee, and it's because of them that I am now more likely to order a pour-over rather than a sugary espresso drink. Additionally, they have an aesthetic that really meshes with my own personal style and taste. However, I never really made it into their specific spot, rather choosing to drink Oddly Correct coffees at other shops in town. Mostly this was b/c of a lack of space in their storefront. Now, however, they've moved a whole three doors South and have opened up a much larger space. I can see myself here quite often. The coffee bar is made of reclaimed wood and metal, giving this place an elemental vibe that I appreciate. Brick walls, butcher block tables and Edison bulbs only help to contribute to the space's raw, masculine vibe. Decor is kept to an utmost minimum, leaving the place feeling clean. And your drinks are prepared in and then served in Pyrex beakers, which I think is just fun. Yay science! Bonus points for playing excellent music. Typically I work with headphones in, but every song I've heard here has been ideal. Not overly distracting, but funky enough to keep my awareness. It's not often that coffee shops play funk, soul or underground hip hop, and I appreciate Oddly Correct taking up the cause. The move for Oddly Correct is only positive, and I hope it leads to more and more people appreciating their product. read more

Oddly Correct - Vanilla Bourbon Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

So, if you haven't been to Oddly Correct since they have revamped their offerings, you REALLY need to stop in and give them another shot! They used to only offer mostly coffee tastings, coffee, a couple teas, and a few simple espresso drinks. Well, they have reconstructed their business plan and brought alot more to the table! They now offer cream to anyone that doesn't like black coffee, and they have a few sweeter options. I tried the Vanilla Bourbon latte, and a friend tried their Chai Latte. Both were incredible! I love that they make their own syrup for this bourbon vanilla, it definitely makes it something special. Plus, they have all new cups and they are SO cute. If you are hungry, they also offer a pretty decent variety of biscuit sandwiches, and some sweet treats. (Some vegan friendly!) They also offer up a Berry Mocha now that looks pretty interesting. Even if you don't like coffee, you should stop in just to check out all the beautiful artwork they have inside and outside the building! One of the employees I believe actually does all the artwork themselves. read more

I had a wonderful cup of coffee! Great space, friendly staff. Thank you for a great start to my morning!

Oddly exceptional. It was my destination today, and you shouldn't hesitate to make it yours. The top two coffee shops in town I've been frequenting serve their roasts and I made it a point to visit the mother ship. I was not disappointed. This morning's exceptional Ethiopian single pour weighing in at well over $4 is actually about 2.5 cups by the time you finish the beaker. Sufficient for most, or should be, but apparently I'm a professional because I decided to follow it up with a latte. As the single pour fills the senses with flavors beyond your typical cup, the latte was a blast of fatty goodness mingled with an espresso rich and balanced, not a trace of bitter. It's no small feat to elevate the quality of a food product in an area the size of Kansas City but a lot of people think Oddly Correct is doing just that with their coffee. I concur. read more

Oddly Correct - Oddly wonderful latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Summary: Average coffee, good espresso. Great service and excellent utilization of space. Would definitely return mostly for espresso based drinks. Sample size (two visits): macchiato (kitten breath), espresso (Zapote), pour over with Monte Nuevo Pros: 1. Espresso was smooth and not overdone, very tasty 2. Macchiato balanced with the milk not overpowering the espresso 3. Cool presentation - I like the wooden slabs that the drinks are served on (coffee comes in a beaker!) 4. The pour over is served in a cup accompanied with a beaker full of more, meaning the portion size is generous 5. The cold brew. I tried the one with orange spice and it was some of the best, most flavorful cold brew I've had. Definitely try this! Cons: 1. Espresso is a bit thin 2. Pour over was okay, not spectacular and not especially flavorful 3. Price - definitely priced higher than market average, which clearly hasn't stopped people from coming here (myself included). I can get behind this for the pour over but $4+ for a shot of espresso? Really? Misc: 1. Seriously good use of small space with bar/window seating 2. Super friendly baristas read more

Oddly Correct - Macchiato - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Now here is a coffee place I love! Everything makes sense. They have great roasts, brew all the cups for YOU, and serve it up in the most creative manner. They look to educate and are completely unpretentious about it. The coffee and esspresso is really what drives the place. If you don't love what that means, it probably isn't the place for you. You have to understand the ins-and-outs of a good cup of coffee and why they take as many steps to make just one. The place is nice to sit around in. They have free wifi and plenty of places to sit. However, the chairs are mostly industrial, science stools. This fits their "measured" approach to coffee but isn't the most comfortable. I'd recommend this place much higher than Crows or Kaldi's. One odd thing is they don't serve cream and sugar. They claim it's for the taste and getting the most honest taste from the beans. I know that sounds snobby but they really are not that snobby when it comes down to it. Enjoy a cup here. It's really a must. read more

Oddly Correct - How they serve their coffee: - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

I've been holding off on this review because a place like Oddly Correct deserves well thought-out words that capture their perfection to a T. Oddly Correct leaves all other coffee shops in the dust. Nothing compares to the meticulous masterpieces they create with their rough, well- worn hands. The boys of Oddly Correct specialize in pour-overs that they serve to you on a wooden board with a beaker. Who couldn't fall head-over-heels for a coffee shop that puts so much time and devotion into mastering their craft? I brought a friend, Roshelle H., who is used to sugar-coated Starbucks drinks. She almost fainted seeing that there was absolutely no cream and no sugar to be found the shop. I am proud to say that after the Oddly Correct boys patiently explained their methods while crafting our pour-overs, that she is now a firm believer that straight black coffee provides the best flavor. Our coffees has subtle hints of citrus and strawberries and were delicious even till the very last drop. Oddly Correct is reminiscent of an intense, coffee laboratory and is perfect in every way. read more

This review has been a few years in the making because I've been to busy drinking their coffee to write about it. This is literally as good as it gets. I was a barista for a few years in various shops all over Kansas City and I've been to the best shops all over the country from Blue Bottle and Handsome, Dogwood and Stumptown, to Sump and intelligentsia, and I have to say this is consistently there with tbest of the best. There is a reason you see a slew of 5 star reviews: the coffee is incredible. Mike and Gregory consistently offer an incredible offering of coffees and now some amazing biscuits to boot?! The quirky staff and equally quirky space add to the intrigue. If you haven't been here you're missing out. It is like hearing you should watch the Dark Knight or the Empire Strikes Back from a friend and saying, "Nah I'll do that some other time..." If you've been biding your time you should do the right thing: drink their coffee. UPDATE: Biscuits. Locally sourced sausage, LS egg, LS cheese curds, and jam. Wow. My taste buds solute you. read more

I'm a coffee drinker and just came in on a friend's suggestion. I'm usually a latte, cappuccino guy, but they specialize in their pour overs. I decided to try their top tier selection, and complex is the right word to describe it. I don't want to take away from their coffee, it's wonderful. But...I came in here hungry and this is where they really got me. I think before 11 am there is a selection of about 4 biscuit sandwiches you can purchase. The barista suggested the Sausage/Egg/Curds Biscuit. That was probably the BEST sausage, egg, cheese curd biscuit I've ever had. Yes, I was hungry, but my goodness, that was to me more of a highlight than their coffee, but once again, I'm a latte/cap guy. All that to be said, come in, get a pour over and one of their biscuit sandwiches. You will not be dis read more

At first I was gonna rate Oddly Correct a 3 Star. Not because I didn't enjoy their product. Maybe it was the fact I was sit in my ways of not wanting to take the time to truly understand what Oddly Correct is attempting to do. The more I visited and after finally hearing Greg speak at the Kauffman Foundation (and visiting with him briefly), I understand their business concept. Even though I tend to think they put a ton of effort into a cup of coffee (still not sure if it's worth the effort and a long lasting business model), I applaud these guys for believing in themselves. The fact that Oddly Corrects methods are very foreign to a large majority of the coffee clientele in Kansas City makes me wonder if people have the patience to give them a chance or return for future visits. Yes, as petty as this may sound.......not offering sugar or cream will undoubtedly hurt the bottom line to some extent. I know Quay Coffee has similar thoughts on cream and sugar but they at least provide these condiments if customers insist. But again, Oddly Correct believes in their methods and philosophy's. Hard to argue too much because these guys do have a loyal following. The layout, design, and decor is fabulous. Great music and top notch ambiance. The coffees and espressos I've consumed at Oddly Correct are indeed excellent. For some "odd" reason, I can't bring myself to ask for skim milk with my Latte. I'm too damn intimidated (scared really) to ask for anything other than whole milk. Hell, I don't want to push my luck. At least they have a dairy product in their arsenal ;) Oh yea, the simple fact that someone at Oddly Correct is a Charles Bradley fan gains them a guaranteed 4 star rating (just kidding). But for those that have no idea who Charles Bradley is or his story, do yourself a favor and research Bradley (watch the movie 'Soul of America'). In an ironic kinda way, Oddly Correct is "Marching to the beat of a different drum" and attempting to overcome obstacles many coffee connoisseurs refuse to buy into; Just like the great Charles Bradley himself. Good luck guys. read more

Oddly Correct - Pleasantly surprised I didn't miss the overly sweet vanilla flavoring. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

In town visiting for the weekend and so far this has been the best coffee I've had. I got the bourbon vanilla latte and it is delicious. This coffee place even has cute to go cups with coozie. read more

not open on sunday, boo. small iced coffee sizes, boo. I wasn't too impressed with the flavor of the coffee either. very tiny space, in a strange corner on Main street, I didn't see any sweetner options, had to ask for creamer after my coffee was already made, had to dump some of it out to get the creamer in it. meh. hastles. read more

Best coffee shop. I'm saying this for the coffee itself and for their business practices. They do everything, and I mean everything correct. No single use plastic, paying their staff a livable wage, giving credit and affirmation to their female and non binary employees, having the most safe practices during the covid-19 pandemic, the list goes on. Do yourself a favor, go there and get yourself a iced vanilla bourbon latte with oak milk (which they won't uncharge you for). It will make your day. read more

Was a bit bemused by the 1 and 2 star reviews against the 5 stars. I came on a weekday afternoon and didn't get any "snobbiness." Just some cold brew, friendly service, wifi, and a surface to work on for a couple hours. read more

Snooty? SNOOTY?! Nah man. The guys here know exactly what they are doing. I see many complaints on here that people get snooty or stuck up impressions from the staff here but here's the truth y'all. These people have coffee down to a science. If you walk up to that counter and ask for sugar they have every right to laugh in your face for being so daft in such a strange alien wonderland. I had never been and arrived here with my good friend. I was at first uncertain about how short the menu was and their selection and promptly (and ignorantly) asked if I could be provided sugar or flavor to my drink and he smiled coyly and told me they had no such things here. I ordered the iced latte as it was, as it was intended to be enjoyed. Well you know what? I still wake up at night in cold sweats wondering if Oddly Correct was some how open at 2 am for my fix. My life will never be the same. Who was I before this place? What am I now?! I have so many questions about my life now. Seating is limited. Prices are the way they should be for such caffeinated delicacies. Staff are more than competent. Free WiFi and accessible parking. I can't wait to return and contemplate my perception of reality all over again. read more

While their coffee is really good, they really seemed bothered to have people in the store. I bought a latte and a pack of their instant coffee that is produced by sudden. The girl just walked by and dropped it on the counter without saying a word or acknowledging me. They didn't even say here's your drink when my drink was done. After I got my drink I asked for a sugar - they don't have any. The girl said if I wanted a sweet drink I should've ordered something else like a mocha. I get that some people are very pure in their coffee ideas. But sometimes I want a little sugar in my latte. It's a very odd thing to not have a coffee shop because it's a coffee shop. During these weird times I would think they would be a little more polite or at least acknowledge someone in their shop spending money. I don't think I'll be going back. read more

I love to go to different coffee shops. We had read the reviews and knew that there was no sweet coffee drink for my daughter so she settled on a cafe au lair. I had a macchiato as did my friend. Great presentation and great coffee. We asked a few questions and staff were informed and personable. read more

Oddly Correct - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

We are always on the look out for the best coffee shops in every city we visit and we found this to be a keeper. The space is almost "hole in the wall"ish because it is deceivingly small with limited seating but also very cozy. I really dig all the exposed brick wall, the warm colors, and all the authentic art. The atmosphere was probably my favorite part of the experience honestly. The baristas were all very friendly, easily explained things, and patient. They all seemed to be very laidback and happy in their job chatting easily with customers. That's a good sign. I'm not a huge fan of biscuits only for breakfast, but these were pretty tasty. More staple flavor combinations other than egg + meat + cheese would be appreciated though! My iced latte was solid and my boy's cappuccino was a good temp. He also loved his subsequent pour over, and I dug the golden milk latte, any way to get some turmeric to be tasty and not in food is a good thing by all means. Other than a lack of variety on the baked goods I think this coffee shop is great and I would definitely go back to try more drinks. The people are friendly and talented and I enjoyed spending a few hours here in this space. read more

I don't drink much coffee. When I decide to, it better be something special. Oddly Correct is that. Many will be turned off by the limited "coffee shop" menu choices, lack of sugar and condiments, and lack of milk options other than whole milk. Many more will try this really well roasted coffee and get it. This is stuff is so good, so well-rounded and different, that you don't need anything with it. Sorta like how fine dining places put no salt on the table. Service is always attentive to order, but the coffee can be slow to come out, and occasionally the "hip" attitude peeks through a bit and I'll sorta feel like the square in the jazz club, but otherwise I'm very fond of this place. read more

Sausage Biscuit with Cheese had good flavor. Biscuit had great flavor. Friendly staff & enjoyed the atmosphere

Good coffee, brewed like a chemist! Unlike any other place for coffee texture. The coffee also has a unique two fold flavor because it is brewed uniquely. The environment was good and popular so not abrupt. I visited a few coffee shops in KC area and this one was one of the spots. Check it out. read more

this is a great place for a good strong cup of coffee. I just so happened to walk in when they were having a party, and I was invited in. the coffee is great, and the owners are really good people. i'll definitely be back. I like the atmosphere and how quaint the appearance is. I had their Americano, and an expresso, both were rather good. Truly a very nice flavor to them both. Story is that they started out roasting coffee beans in the garage and then it picked up from there. I know other places like Little Freshie are using their beans. Its very much worth a visit. read more

This place is the worst. I'm out of coffee on this fine Monday morning and they refused to adjust their coffee menu to put their vanilla syrup in anything but a latte. I tried two options and a coffee. Not even my regular plain coffee! If ur syrup is too strong to mix in anything then maybe it sucks and you need a new one. They are expensive, and the coffee is bitter and they think they are too good for their customers. Pompous. DON'T GO. Update- after being caffeinated I realize I may have over reacted. I still think you should be able to adjust your coffee to your liking and add syrup.... like you can everywhere else. But maybe I got hot-headed. So my bad. I will still not be returning, but should have been nicer. read more

This place is among my top 3 favorite coffee shops in KC. Their flat white with oat milk is seriously amazing!!! I also tried their biscuit with jam and it was so warm, fresh, and tasty. The employees are always so polite. You can truly see that they like their job. read more

Jerkstore Coffee would be a more accurate name. I ordered a red-eye. "We don't do those" Okay, cool. You're a special coffee place and you don't want to cross the streams. Alright, I'll order a coffee and an espresso then. I asked for a little of the milk they use in espresso drinks. "No, you can't have that." Wait, didn't I just order an espresso drink? Totally rude, haughty. They delight in making their customers feel less than. Basically they embody everything that Kansas City isn't. With such a bustling local coffee scene, I'll gladly go elsewhere. read more

Great ambiance. Great coffee. Service was fast and friendly. Loved the vibe and wish it was warmer so I could sit outside. I got my coffee Togo. I got an iced vanilla latte with oatmilk. read more

I have only been to Oddly Correct once and it was on the recommendation of another barista! I really like the layout and location of Oddly Correct. The thick raw wood tables and open space is so much more inviting than the blustering busy outside of the streets nearby. Located on the fringe of the Westport area this location definitely takes pride in a great cup of joe. The barista's were patient with my grilfriend and I as we tried to decide what we wanted as we hadn't been there before. To me this really stood out, generally coffee places tend to range from a busy-move-through-the-line-quickly mentality or a we-know-our-coffee-and-you-don't mindset. Oddly correct breaks those barriers and stands in the middle with great informative patient service. Two thumbs up for this! I only got the iced toddy when I went because it was recommended to me as one of the best and it was indeed one of the best. If you have not discovered the finer side of cold brewed coffee please take a moment out of your day to try their bottled toddy. It is very rich so I do recommend trying half of it in one sitting and saving the rest for later in the day. It is a lot to drink at once! I will always come here for my toddy cravings and weekend work. Thank you for providing a great atmosphere. read more

KC has become quite an outstanding coffee burg. There are several fantastic shops &/or roasters offering great coffee. It's truly amazing. Among those wonderful options, Oddly Correct is my favorite. Whether a shot, a pourover, or a milk drink, my coffee has always been beyond topnotch there, and the staff has always been friendly. If I still lived close by, I'd be there nearly every day. Highest of high recommendation. read more

Great space, art, vibe, location, safe and easy parking and most of all FANTASTIC coffee.

I hate that i have to write this- but i do. Oddly correct is a cute spot with great coffee. My sister and her boyfriend were recently in town from NM and LOVED this place! Went back a couple of times within days. A few weeks ago my parents and my aunt & uncle came to town, they wanted to coffee so i brought them here. My aunt, who is probably the nicest woman on the face of the planet, ordered regular coffee. She then realized after receiving her order that she wanted cream. THEY REFUSED To give her any. Citing "we don't do that here". I understand that true coffee enthusiasts believe in drinking coffe without additives to enjoy the full flavor, but this poor woman just wanted a splash of cream! She was from out of town and we didnt know before going there. I respect the passion here, but i dont respect denying your customer a simple splash of cream so they can enjoy their coffee, that they paid for, the way they like it. There is something to be said for pleasing the customer, and not pushing your own snobby, hipster agenda and a sweet out of towner. Disappointed by the customer service. read more

Prices are hard but latte is great and comes in a super cute glass jar you get to keep and bring back to use! Really helpful staff too.

Oddly correct is hands down the best coffee shop I've ever been to. The friendly staff, the perfect coffee, the cute little shop, the environmentally friendly practices! They're all phenomenal. The vanilla bourbon latte is to die for. They make the syrup homemade and I've never tasted anything like it - it's delicious hot or cold. They do not use any single use containers for their drinks, like what! I think every coffee shop should follow in their footsteps on this. And their policy is so easy to follow - $1 deposit for a reusable 12oz glass cup (with a lid and coozie!) and you can bring it back for a fresh one with your next drink or get your $1 back. Amazing. 10/10. If you're in the KC area, you absolutely need to hit this place up. read more

This was my first time here & idk if I'll come back again, honestly. I was yelling over the loud music to place my order. I came specifically to get an iced vanilla latte. And they didn't have that option. Which is really weird that vanilla wouldn't be a staple item in a coffee shop. My ice latte was $6.23. I was couldn't believe the charge when she read it back to me. And I had to ask why it was so much when the sign said $4.75. she said $1 for to go cup. There was a little note on the sign that said $1 for to go cups. I figured that was a choice and I didn't notice it until she pointed it out. Very odd experience. The "vanilla bourbon "latte does taste good so I'm thankful for that. I had to go find my own straw. Surprised they didn't charge me extra for a to-go straw. I know things are odd during these times but I would say that oddly correct is a very odd place and I don't think I'll be coming back. Eh. Soooo many other great local coffee shops in KC who offer wonderful experience during these times. read more
