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

I am from Seattle Washington and work in the coffee industry. This place has mediocre coffee and superior coffee snobbery. The staff here were terrible. The lady who took our order rolled her eyes about 10 time when asked for the simplest thing like a lid. I would go somewhere else in the future. read more

I am a committed connoisseur of the best pour over coffee's. I highly recommend oddly correct. Pour over made by Sean was perfect smooth and non acidic. I approve.... I will only go here, why fix something that ain't broken. Thank you. read more

If I could give a worse review I would. I have worked as a barista for four years now, have had extensive customer service and coffee brewing training, and grew up in coffee culture... I have never experienced such awful service before. I felt like the woman working there thought she was above me, and treated me like I was trash. The service was so rude I had a panic attack and felt as if I couldn't breath. It was hot in there and the atmosphere was tense. I felt uncomfortable. This is a place that should be avoided. I will never come back here again. read more

I only gave it two stars because of the atmosphere and it's lovely wooden tables. Unique is a word and snobby is also a word. No sugar, no flavorings, and not many options. Some would like the simplicity but others find it to be lack luster. It isn't a place i would revisit. It embodies the words coffee snob. read more

I ordered a mocha which was delicious. However, the place is very small and there is not a lot of sitting space. read more

Pretentious and expensive and you won't get it "your way", especially if you like cream and sugar. That being said, their coffee is the best in KC. read more

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

Such a cute coffee shop! The guy who took my order was very friendly and knew a lot about the menu when I asked questions. We were able to sit outside at a table with our dog while we waited for the coffee and the barista brought it to us. Very nice and definitely prefer over Starbucks read more

Great coffee. Perfect cappuccino with oat milk (thank you!). Nice chill atmosphere, slow music appropriate for a gray winter day. Cake donut w sprinkles, delicious. read more

Bit overpriced, and seems designed to be uncomfortable enough so you wont want to stay very long, but the coffee is really damn good.

Tried this place a couple times hoping to find its charm. It's just grungy over-roasted coffee. Oddly they do not provide real cream, yet claim to make good intense coffee (this is an oversight that is not oddly correct). The local crowd does NOT like outsiders and the staff is indifferent toward everybody. Nearby chain coffee shops make better coffee and provide a welcoming ambiance with fast WiFi. Even a McDonald's americano is better than this. read more

Friendly service, great music, and amazing caffinated beverages. They do allow dogs inside which I thought was super cool.

An excellent espresso that I would recommend to anyone. Try the single sources espresso bean. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable too. read more

This place is very chill - something I value in a coffee shop. I have recently been on a chai hunt throughout KC for the best chai lattes and this one was good - not the best. My friend got a latte and it was BEAUTIFUL. They would definitely recommend it. Their food menu looked delish, especially the vegan cinnamon rolls. read more

Best cup of coffee in all of KC! Mainstream coffee drinkers - leave your milk, flavored cream, and bad taste in coffee at home and venture to downtown KC for Oddly Correct! You may be shocked at first their menu is not like Starbucks, Broadway Coffee, or the Roasterie but their coffee is ten times better. Every time I come to Oddly, I get a pour over (they now serve lattes as well) and it is well worth the $4.00 for a cup. The staff are always friendly and love to talk about coffee and answer any questions you may have. If I lived closer to the city, I would make Oddly Correct a daily part of my routine. read more

Really great coffee. I attend college near Los Angeles and am from New York and am used to places like Intelligentsia and Cafe Grumpy, so for better or worse I am a coffee snob. I had a cup of the Mexican Veracruz pour over, which was a great savory blend. I also got the old fashioned donut and the strawberry basil, which were both delicious A little warning to those who enjoy their coffee with cream or sugar - I'd reccomend going elsewhere. This place serves black coffee and espresso drinks (latte, cappuccino, flat white, etc) and are meant for the "purist" types who appreciate coffee taste on it's own, without the distraction of cream or sweeteners. They also ship their beans, roasted fresh, for a flat rate of $2. The bagged beans smelled incredible - I can't wait to ship it to school and brew my own in my dorm. read more

The baristas were so nice! I tried their new Ethiopian coffee (the description had me at "notes of lavender") which came in a cool science beaker for me to pour as I please. This definitely seems like the kind of place to come meet up with friends at, but it was a great atmosphere for me to work in as well. read more

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

Was excited to check this place out. Ordered a pour over, asked for Half n Half and was rudely told by the "barista" that they don't carry that because the don't believe coffee should be mixed with cream!! It's not about the fact that they don't carry cream, it's about the stuck up, holier than thou tone! I paid for the coffee, threw it in the trash and walked out. Will never ever come back to this place. read more

I definitely want to explore the menu a little more, but I'm a fan! I had the Gibraltar (one of my favorite drinks) which is 1/2 espresso & 1/2 cream. Not too bad! The only reason I'm giving 4, as opposed to 5 stars, is because my buddy ordered a cold brew (his favorite drink) and was not told it was made with hops. He did ask about the content, as it wasn't listed on the menu, and was told what kind of beans were used - definitely good knowledge, but not the only pertinent information needed. Hops infused coffee takes a special palate! Otherwise, great location, good looking/fun baristas, and great tasting coffee. read more

I have been to oddly corrects' open forum before as well as been in the shop as a customer. It is one of very few coffee shops that did not look at me and think, "oh a teenage girl here to order a venti single shot white mocha." Though it may appear as a pretentious shop - every barista I have come in contact with has been personable as well as eager to teach about roasting and origin. I also greatly enjoy that they consider themselves a tasting room rather than a typical coffee shop - thus the integrity and quality of every drink is far above average. The small space plays upbeat music and is great for working. Every shot and pour over I have had has been up to standard and I will continue to highly recommend. read more

Their orange peel iced chai is delicious. I enjoyed a glass and sat in the window to get work done all afternoon yesterday. Such a pleasant space- nice staff- good music. read more

A nice coffee outlet in midtown. The selection is limited to pour overs and espressos, so for those looking for Starbucks-like customization may be disappointed. However the coffee is tasty, the selections organic, and the atmosphere makes it perfect for chill out mornings or afternoons. Some may think of it as pretentious with its limited selection and lack of creamer or sugar but for a coffee aficionado like myself, it's a great place for a legit cup of joe. read more

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

I ordered an iced americano with a splash of milk and they said no. I saw all of the ingredients right in front of me. I did not want an iced latte, which was offered. I asked if they could just make an iced Americano and pour milk in it. Still no. PLEASE PEOPLE Update--if the store can articulate a good reason for this policy, I will take down this negative review. I am mostly just very confused. A latte is ok, but no splash of milk in an Americano? Where is the consistency?! read more

The coffee speaks for itself, it's fantastic, arguably the best in KC. And don't get me started on the biscuits. But the main reason I support Oddly is to vote with my dollar for more small businesses to operate with this standard of excellence. From paying living wages to their employees to switching to glass containers, this coffee shop is raising the bar and making a difference. A true gem for the city and beyond. read more

This place is pretty crap. I am obsessed with coffee and born and raised in Seattle wear coffee houses that have stupid rules that make no sense get closed pretty quick. The initial conversation with the Priest was pleasant but then she just kept revealing to me all of the things they didn't have. I found it humorous because it was like the title "odd" and made me laugh. She seemed to be annoyed that I enjoyed that. This place has whole milk but won't let you have it to put cream in your americano or drip. So there will make you a whole milk hot cocoa with no judgement but they WONT let you put milk in your coffee. Also it's weird to be an elitist about coffee and then not offer any sort milk alternative. In all parts of the world the macchiato and cappuccino are considered part of the elitist coffee snob menu (both have milk and usually are offered in milk alternatives because generally if you're a purist about coffee you're also not crazy about dairy and the animal agriculture industry ) . But at this place some things are okay to be snobby about and some aren't. They also have zero tea. read more

Super rad coffee, super rude experience. The only reason I'm giving them a two star is because their cold brew was really good! The service, however, ruined everything for me. I said hi and the barista didn't even acknowledge me until I said it again...and waited for him to respond. To which he rudely looked at me and said hello in a mocking voice. I asked for an iced coffee and asked for a little room for milk and he told me "we don't mix those two universes here" and was completely belittling to me about it. It was my first time there, so this was a horrible first impression. This was just one barista, but I won't go back because of this experience. I'm okay with the whole no milk in your cold brew, I can roll with that, but the way he spoke to me and communicated the choices really caught me off guard and put a bitter taste in my mouth. It kind of started my day off to an unhappy note. :( read more

Oddly Correct is a labor of love, and it shows.The staff loves, LOVES coffee, and they genuinely take pride in sharing that appreciation with guests and inviting them to have an experience they won't really find anywhere else in town. The decor is one thing, but is it applicable to mention the good vibes as well? This won't be up everyone's alley--if you're the kind of person content with the complimentary cup you get in the hotel lobby, you might be better off spending those few bucks somewhere else. However, if you want to enjoy coffee free from the shackles of cream and sugar and spend some time tasting all the complexities that an in-house roasted and ground, expertly brewed mug full of Oddly Correct has to offer, well, this is where to do it. read more

My favorite espresso. Ever. I bought their white whale beans. I never do that. I also think their doughnuts are remarkably good. Unusually good. Don't miss them, but they are easy to spot since they are so pretty under the glass counter. read more

BEST SHOP IN TOWN, from ethical sourcing to amazing baristas, you can't find anyone better! Also, try and find a better pour over in KC! You can't! And don't get me starting on the biscuits! TOO GOOD, but make sure you get there in time! They sell out fast! My fav is the pimento jalapeño cheese love you oddly read more

Very underwhelming coffee. I was surprised this place was ranked as highly as it was. I travel for a living and visit hundreds of independent shops, most of whom are roasters. I would rank this place in the bottom quartile. Here's my rationale: - Ordered an espresso and 2 lattes to sample. Espresso shots lacked character and tasted "burnt". Lattes similarly lacked flavor and the milk wasn't properly steamed resulting in what amounted to a cafe Au lait - For some poorly thought out reason this shop decided to dispense coffee in jars for takeaway. The barista said it was environmental, however I strongly doubt that most people bring their jars back to the shop to recycle them and the energy req'd to make a glass jar isn't lowering their carbon footprint. Furthermore they put Coozys on the jars which are petroleum based. In an effort to be environmental, the shop is creating a poor experience (who wants to drink out of a mini jar?) and creating more waste than a degradable cup - the shop charges $1 per jar... Barista was nice and location is decent. Product just needs to be improved. read more

I wonder if since they now allow you to "taste" their latte with chocolate they will now let you "taste" their coffee with milk. Also, for people so self righteous about the purity of their coffee and the morality of their coffee sourcing you would think they would go with someone like Dandelion or Askinosie (who actually pay fair prices for their chocolate) before an overblown one-step-up from Russel Stover gimmicky trend follower. read more

Oddly correct is definitely a hipster hangout spot. Nothing wrong with it, just not my kind of place to sit and enjoy my coffee. I also like cream with my coffee. This is not that kind of place. Unless you order something that has milk in the drink, like a latte or something, you'll have to keep your coffee and creamer segregated. If you enjoy the pure taste of black coffee, this is a place for you. Enjoy. read more

I understand the desire to hew to coffee purist/third-wave standards, but when my family visited and my dad asked for sugar to add to an espresso drink, we were curtly told that there is no sugar in the shop. They clearly make sweet latte drinks, and simple syrup could have been offered, but it wasn't. It felt slightly rude and alienating. Won't be back. read more

Oddly cares about their employees, the earth, and customers which is exactly why I'm glad to spend my money at the shop. They make Kansas City better. read more

The atmosphere is perfectly cozy. The staff is knowledgeable. The art is interesting, especially the kraken in the coffee cup. If I lived in KC this would easily be my coffee bar. read more

The baristas at Oddly correct know what they're doing. The rating I gave is based on the fact that the coffee is what shines and that's what matters to me. For those who like the frills, flavors and extras, however, this place is not for you. read more

I was in town and thought I would check it out, such a great place! Great coffee for a great price. They stick to a very minimalistic vibe. Located on a busy corner it's a great place to get coffee, work and people watch. They also have some great local stuff for sale. Very good place and I can't wait to go back. read more

I went to Oddly Correct for the first time today, by recommendation of a friend. The person who brews the coffee is incredibly nice and social, makes you feel good. The coffee is just great, probably the best I've had in the area. I also enjoy the communal tables as I like to sit and meet new people. There is also wi-fi if that is something you consider. I highly recommend Oddly Correct. read more

I've been working as a barista in third wave coffee for two years in San Francisco. I've served sightglass, contraband and before moving from Missouri, Roasterie coffee. I was in fact, lead barista at a coffee shop that served pour over and espresso exclusively. So I get the whole obnoxious coffee snob thing. That being said, oddly correct is not a particularly good shop, even when I allow for the weird and sometimes crappy culture fostered by specialty coffee. My experience trying to get some milk for my mother's iced pour over was unpleasant for sure (way to alienate people, that's totally my goal when working in high end coffee!) but I won't go too into that, I can't get them to change their ridiculous business practices. I will however go into how, if you're going to have pretentious policies in place meant to highlight how special your shop is (and push away people interested in learning about coffee), you need to make damn sure that everything is on point and it wasn't. 1. I ordered cold brew (following the orders of the sign telling me to ask for cold brew) and got an iced pour over. An iced pour over IS NOT cold brew because it is in fact BREWED HOT. I even discussed the difference with my mother in front of the barista who took our order, so I have to assume he realized that I was not ordering a hot brewed pour over over ice. (We also asked for room for cream THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE PERFECT TIME TO TELL US THAT THEY DIDN'T ALLOW THAT, YOU KNOW, BEFORE I HAD PAID FOR AND RECEIVED THE DRINK). 2. The iced pour over was watery as hell, because that's what happens when you drip boiling water over ice (which is why we didn't order an iced pour over). The coffee TASTED fine other than that, maybe a bit more bitter and less sweet than I've come to expect but not bad. But it was thin and weak and probably 58% straight water. 3. I ordered an espresso which was served with sparkling water. The sparkling water was warm (some places serve it that way, fine, I'll allow that as a shop difference) and ALMOST completely flat. 4. The espresso was not pulled correctly. I could tell looking at it, the crema was not marked the way it should be, it was too light and it was thin. I knew it wasn't a good shot, but I drank it anyway. It was drinkable, it was however incredibly sour and bright in an unpleasant way and it was thin and not syrupy like I had basically ordered a bad tasting coffee in a tiny cup. Which is not in fact how a shot should be. Guess I know why they allow milk to pollute their espresso. It's really unfortunate because the last time I visited home I went to quay coffee and it was great. I exchanged a bag of sightglass for a bag of oddly correct and the coffee was fantastic. One of my coworkers even ordered a bag online after trying a pour over of the beans I brought back. Their roasting game is pretty strong, but the service and quality in shop is low. To me it's important that customers that come into a shop I work at leave feeling better informed and well served. I want to help people get what they want while also serving the highest quality product I can and I want people to feel like they can ask questions, experiment and get more comfortable with something that I love. I think shops like oddly correct give third wave coffee a crappy image and leave people feeling unwelcome, a feeling which screws over the entire industry. I hate hearing people qualify their requests for cream with things like "I know it's gross and horrible and insulting and sacrilege but can I please have some milk?" I hate having people apologize to me for asking for something to improve their drink and make it better for them. I don't think I know more about another person's tastes and likes than they do. And I didn't appreciate that my mom left feeling unhappy, annoyed and kind of stupid when she went with her daughter to support her and her love of coffee. I have the experience, the knowledge and the hipster coffee cup tattoo on my collar bone to say that this shop screwed up and left me feeling unhappy and badly served when I walked in after detouring out of my way on my last day in Missouri sure that I was going to have a great experience. HMU when you value a sense of community and education more than being hardcore and hip. And when you get the rest of your shit in order and raise the quality of the product in house. read more

I recently moved to KC and decided to check out this coffee shop. It was splendid. There is plenty of seating and the baristas were friendly. There is art on the brick walls inside which adds a very unique aesthetic. They sell house coffee beans, t-shirts, stickers and a few other things in addition to coffee, tea and café foods. read more
