    What a friendly coffee shop! Tried this cafe out for the first time and they have excellent coffee. We ordered an iced oat milk SF caramel latte and a hot vanilla hazelnut latte as well as a cream carrot cake pastry. The space is very lovely and light & airy with local artists displaying their art for sale. The baristas were friendly and attentive and brought out our items and the owner stopped by our table to greet us after stopping in with a delivery. It was a relaxing and peaceful ambience that we enjoyed and we look forward to returning.

    Great coffee in western Shawnee!
    Tom V.

    If you know, you know. Western Shawnee is a great area to live: quiet, wooded, not a ton of traffic, & very family-oriented. There are plenty of options to dine and get other services, but if you want to explore the metro, you gotta go a ways. It's not the worst, but living outside the loop adds a few miles/minutes to your travels should you want a unique offering. Trust me on this one, as a former Shawnee-in (Shawnee-ite?). But that's where small biz choices like Prayer Box come in. Instead of Shawnee having another tired option that lacks distinction, now Prayer Box provides an oasis in a small coffee desert. Step into the remodeled space and you can see the time and dedication that has transformed it into an inviting kaffehaus. The menu is varied while still being focused instead of tricking you into some Seattle lab experiment. Prayer Box is serving Broadway Coffee and doing it up right whether hot or iced. All the usual suspects are on hand as flavor agents and seasonal offerings are not only the norm but handcrafted. There are pastries aplenty on hand, but I would suggest a wedge of their quiche. On this day I had a choice between the bacon & cheese or a crust-less veggie variety and I opted for the former, well, because pie crust. And WOW! what a nice surprise, super fluffy and exceptionally flavorful, making my Sunday morning all the better. It's hooks like this that make me skip drive-thru lines and head for the small biz, because if I'm getting a muffin from a chain outlet, it likely wasn't made on-site. Prayer Box is the complete opposite, leaving me feeling as if we were guests at someone's home and they served amazing quiche with their coffee. Add in comfortable seating, including a small couch and throw blankets, and this has all the makings of a comfortable morning. Easy to park, because western Shawnee has one thing downtown doesn't: space. Easy to buy, because the offerings are made right in front of you. And easy to enjoy, because if you stay local, you eat local, and you buy local. Prayer Box deserves all the stars!

    Looks like we've got a new coffee shop in town! It's Friday at about 11a. The coffee shop is really cute, bright and modern, upbeat music and lots of plants. It wasn't super busy but there seems to be steady traffic. The barista and (I'm assuming) the owners/managers are friendly and professional. It sounds like they're still training staff but everyone seems to be doing well to me. Now for the coffee- I asked for a cold drink recommendation and ended up with a lavender lemon latte. Not my usual order but it is light, refreshing and I quite enjoy it. I also ordered a Caesar salad - good/standard, well dressed. No wifi yet, but the owner/manager says it should be up in a couple weeks. 4 stars for now but I'm excited to see this place get up and running!

    Lavender Honey Chai -  So good!  and the Cheesy Spinach Quiche was amazing!  loved the fresh raspberry as well!

    Beth's Quiche and Iced Caramel Latte
    Alyssa M.

    This was my first time in a year having a "kid free" morning. I recently lost my mom the same week I gave birth to my son, so going out alone was honestly terrifying for me today. I decided to find a small coffee shop and came across Prayer Box Cafe and am so glad I did! Wonderful environment, cozy but bright and happy, family like service, and great music. I had the Beth's Quiche and an iced latte, both were phenomenal! I'll definitely be back

    Awesome Quiche Katie the owner is great. A very welcoming group of employees. The coffee and drinks are great and priced fair. A local business owner working hard to provide a great establishment where folks can congregate and enjoy the coffee and food options.

    Quiche was fire and both breakfast sandwiches we got were amazing - especially the one that had Sriracha mayo on it.

    Today must be my lucky day because I came right in time to try the Dubai Chocolate cake and it was…read moredefinitely a treat! I have always wanted one of their cakes with the icing being a chocolate version instead, I love the regular cream cheese frosting...but chocolate icing just hits differently on chocolate cake. I had every intention on finally trying the chocolate-chocolate chip cake, but when they let me know the Dubai chocolate will discontinue after tomorrow it was a no brainer!!! The filling was a perfect balance of pistachio white chocolate and toasted kataifi, it was so good I ate all of the middle before I touched the cake(: My mom said she also forgot what most of the flavors taste like since we haven't been here in a while, so we took this as an opportunity to get a customized bundtini assortment. She really wanted to try the new seasonal flavor banana pudding cake and her favorite the classic carrot. Added a few lemon and a couple Oreo and confetti. Our server Janice was extremely patient as we made our choices and gave us all the details about how long the seasonal cakes would be in store. So if you're reading this after April 4th, 2026 you might miss the Dubai Chocolate and it's much better than the candy bar or strawberries so run, don't walk!!! Also, have to note that for the lobby area being on the smaller end, it is packed with essentials to complete for all types of celebrations. Mini balloons, cards, themed bears, candles and sets of plates, napkins and utensils. Didn't talk much about the actual cake because it honestly speaks for itself. The brand lets you know it's nothing but Bundt cakes in 3 sizes. Although, I truly wish chocolate icing was available in addition to the vanilla all the time....for the chocolate lovers like me, but I suppose the Dubai will to hold me over until next time(:

    The cakes are delicious. They have many varieties and they have gluten free. I wish they had more…read morevariety of gluten free

There's 4 street parking stalls out front on Johnson Dr. The inside is clean & AC was nice on hot days. The girl behind the counter was nice & gave us samples of the gelato that we were curious about. Wifey selected a med cup of dark chocolate and strawberry. I got the med cup with pistachio and coconut. We watched the girl making our cups and noticed she gave more of one flavor than the other in each of our cups. I was a lil disappointed about that. It ended up being 2/3 dark chocolate and 1/3 strawberry in wifey's cup. There was 2/3 pistachio and 1/3 coconut in mine. I like even amounts if you're gonna have a cup with 2 flavors. Lil bit of one flavor mixed with the second flavor. I ended up with a bit more pistachio than I expected. Wifey definitely had more dark chocolate than strawberry. I think next time we'll ask if they can scoop closer to even amounts of each. Although the total amount of gelato was more than worth the cost. We did sit inside since outside was pretty hot and almost no breeze. The place had 3 tables. One had seating for 4 and the other 2 had seating for 2 each. When we entered one of the 2 seater tables had 2 ladies that were jus sitting there with drinks and talking and laughing really loudly. It was echoing in the small room. Other than that it was nice in that cozy lil shop. We liked how the girl behind the counter was patient and welcomed us when we told her it was our first time there. I wanna try some other combos next time. This place reminds me of the lil gelato place we liked back home in Hawaii. A Hui Hou!

    You walk in expecting a nice dinner in Shawnee, Kansas. What you get instead is Michelin-star-level…read moreservice, presentation, and hospitality, delivered with warmth, confidence, and zero pretension. The kind of place where the plates look like art, but you immediately destroy them because the food smells too good to admire for long. Then the owner comes to your table -- and not in the "just checking in" way. No. She guides you. She explains everything: where the menu comes from, why it exists, what flavors are about to happen, and why you're about to rethink your life choices up to this point. She speaks with passion, clarity, and genuine pride -- and suddenly you trust her with your entire evening. Possibly your future. The menu itself is a beautifully orchestrated mix of Spanish, Mexican, Italian, and Argentine cuisine, and somehow none of it fights for attention. Every dish knows exactly what it's doing. Appetizers? Fantastic. Main courses? Outstanding. Desserts? Referred to as "more than delicious," which sounds like exaggeration until you taste them and realize it's just accurate reporting. And the wine -- oh, the wine. A Malbec lineup that could convert people who "don't really like red wine" into people who suddenly have opinions about terroir. Think it's only a dinner spot? Incorrect. They also serve lunch, featuring amazing sandwiches and small plates that make you wonder why you're ever eating lunch anywhere else. And yes -- there's brunch, which is just unfair to other brunch places trying their best. What truly seals the deal, though, is the owner herself. She is kind, genuine, passionate, and unforgettable. If you're lucky enough to meet her, you'll leave feeling oddly uplifted -- well fed, well treated, and slightly convinced the universe wanted you there that night. This is not a "walk in when you have time" restaurant. This is a run, don't walk dining experience. Put it on your list. Move it to the top. Then go -- and thank me later.

    I ordered ahead of time to get food to go. Upon entering I was a bit confused about the restaurant…read more, there is a seating area up front for while you wait.
