We love supporting this local coffee house that supports their community citizens in need with training, opportunities, and support needed to become self supporting. I love the concept. That said, food always amazing, prices very reasonable, one of our go-to dining establishments when in Excelsior Springs early day for breakfast or lunch! PS. Please bring back the original avocado toast. It was what dreams are made of! read more

Good is good but pretty generic. Beautiful remodel job cheeseburger and fries is awesome.

Delicious food, amazing service. I will go back again. The servers will give honest opinions which I like. read more

"Consistently delicious" is what my mom said when we visited today. My parents are regulars here and they've never had a bad experience. They took me today and I can confirm. The food looks truly 5 star, it's visually beautiful. My Dad had a sandwich and my mom had the power pancakes Food comes out hot and fresh first time every time. I just had a yogurt parfait. The whole menu is quite appealing to the health conscious. The prices are elite and no one can beat it. 5 stars and well deserved!!! read more

Love this place! Since I started working in Excelsior Springs a few months ago, I have made several stops here. And not once has it disappointed. The salads are so fresh, and a generous portion (whether doing a full or a 1/2). Italian with balsamic tends to be my go to although you can't go wrong with any, or any dressing, which they also make there. I like that there's a 1/2 & 1/2 option when I'm also in the mood for a sandwich. All of the chicken ones I've tried have been amazing! And if you still have room, grab a dessert ;) I think they're morning muffins are the best - with carrots and apples and coconut and just plain yum. So glad this place is here, and I will continue to be a regular! read more

I'd describe this as one of the must-do stops in Excelsior Springs, MO. Charming, rustic decor is evident as one drives up to the cafe. We were there in early June and the cafe's garden in the front was off to a strong start! We were a group of six there late on a Saturday morning. On Saturdays, breakfast is served all day. We had been old the cinnamon rolls were a recommendation; they must be good as they were gone by the time we arrived! The menu offered a variety of soups, sandwiches, and salads, coffees, teas, and lemonades. From our group I saw a variety of items. The blueberry muffins looked exceptionally delicious and they were full of fresh berries. We also tried the Greek salad, berry fresh salad, and chicken salads. We also had the soup of the day, which was tomato Basil, avocado toast and carrot cake. The salads all looked very fresh and were quite large. The half-size (half salad and soup) was perfect for a light lunch or brunch. The tomato basil soup was wonderfully balanced and even had small pieces of tomato in it, which was very refreshing. The carrot cake was three layers of moist cake separated with a generous dollop of cream cheese frosting. The staff was very helpful and friendly. I will most definitely make this a stop when I'm in Excelsior. read more

Great little breakfast spot. I'm glad we decided to visit. Very friendly staff working for a great cause.

AMAZING FOOD. It was so hard to decide what to get because everything looked and sounded so amazing! My husband got the breakfast burrito and I got the peanut butter power pancakes (picture)- SO SO delicious. Love the mission, atmosphere and service. The local place was just what we needed after our week in town celebrating our anniversary before heading back to Kansas City. We would definitely come back again sometime to experience lunch. read more

I had not heard about this place until I was talking with one of my coworkers about lunch. This place is so much more than a breakfast/lunch spot. It truly is meant to help others with their business. Meet the Need is a local resource in Excelsior Springs and this cafe is part of it. My co-workers were ordering lunch one day and I figured I'd give it a try. I got the Southwest Wrap $9.50 (chicken, salsa, black bean & corn relish, shredded cheese, romaine). First off the portion was great. It was a decent size wrap that kept me full. It had tons of chicken and other ingredients. It comes with chips. My colleges got the chicken salads and PB&J panini which they all loved and agreed on portion size. If you're in Excelsior, make sure to check it out! read more

The food was good and serve in a timely manner and the service was friendly. I will come again. The atmosphere was good and it wasn't too loud like some place. read more

Food and service is great! Highly recommend. Desserts cannot be missed! Very clean and tidy.

Such a great cafe! The staff was very friendly and they are doing their best during COVID. My husband and I love the rustic farm house interior. Everything is so simple and comes out so great! Read the Opportunity Cafe story, it is such a inspiration and a great way to support their local community! The HP latte was delicious (no pic posted) we ordered it iced on this hot summers day! Stop by and enjoy the homemade simplicity of this cafe! read more

We had breakfast here and were pretty disappointed. My husband got the burrito bowl with 3 eggs. The eggs were burnt and crusty, while the sausage was poorly reheated and cold. He couldn't eat any of it because of this. I had the biscuits and gravy (absolutely flavorless) and the stuffed French toast. The flavors of the French toast were good, but it was all one temperature-- cold. We didn't eat because we have plans today and didn't want to end up sick. read more

I tried this small town eatery for the first time today and I'm so impressed! We had a girl's breakfast this morning and we all walked away satisfied with our meal. I forgot to get pictures but two of us had the stuffed French toast and one had the pancakes. All were great options! The French toast was yummy and they were very generous on the fruit and the stuffing-- the best part I loved it and I'll be back! read more

We stopped on our way home after a trip to the Elms. Everything we had was delicious and well priced. The iced coffee was as good or better than Starbucks in my opinion. The atmosphere was also perfect. We also snagged some cinnamon rolls to take home. read more

This is a wonderful local place I'm so lucky we have! I have to go on my lunch hour due to the times they are open. Would love for them to have dinner options read more

Fantastic, had an amazing breakfast burrito bowl and stuffed French toast ( may have scooped up all the syrup from the plate and ate it). Super friendly. Would come back if I was back in town read more

Every time I have had the pleasure to eat here it has been wonderful. The food is always fresh and the service is always friendly. If you go for breakfast I recommend the breakfast burrito or the power pancakes. For lunch, you can't go wrong with the Italian panini. As far as their coffees are concerned, I can only speak for their frappes, but they are so much better than what you can get at Starbuck's. Highly recommended read more

Went here for a party. Employees were really nice and they had good food. I really liked this salad they provided. The ranch dressing was really good. They might have made it there. It's pretty roomy and has a nice atmosphere. read more

Food is delicious & atmosphere is great. The ladies working were very nice as well! Their homemade ranch is like nothing I've had before but it's great. They've got lots of healthy options & many different types of drinks to choose from as well. read more

Everything we had from the menu was delicious! Came back both mornings of our stay in Excelsior Springs!

This quiet little place is a gem tucked away next to a thrift store and a welcome respite from the numerous, low-quality, fast food places in town when seeking lunch away from work. They offer sandwiches, soups, and salads; all are freshly made with good ingredients. The environment is clean and comfortable and I like their style. Good coffee as well. I've only come a couple of times though because it is a bit pricey for my current budget but that is on me, their prices are reasonable. read more

This is an amazing place. Everything is cooked with a home-style touch. Really love it and has an inspirational story behind it. You must come and check it out. Make sure to try their HP latte. read more

Awesome, homemade food. I had the Italian salad. Didn't ask if the dressing was homemade but it tasted like it was their recipe. Excellent!

Love this place. Great vibe. Nice people. Fantastic decor. And, best of all, great coffee and yummy food. We had a strawberry banana blueberry smoothie, biscuit breakfast sandwich with sausage and pepper jack cheese, and oatmeal with cranberries and walnuts. All very reasonably priced. read more
