I saw people studying for school, meeting to catch up, doing Bible study, working on resumes etc. it's great to see so many people doing various things at a local place. The barista/order taker was friendly and answered my questions with ease. The GF crepes were tasty, my only complaint is there could have been more banana on the sweet one we ordered. We will be back!

Stepped in here to their newest location in Shawnee, (No Yelp Entry yet)…read more They have done great at converting this place into an amazing little coffee shop with a drive through. We were able to get our coffee and coffee drinks (Not pictured) with almost record time. And they were quick and friendly about it even though the staff was just learning their system. My coffee was a very delicious brew and one that will keep me stopping in!

I've never had a bad latte from Bear Necessities. The fact that other coffee shops in KC (won't…read morename any names...) get more business is absolutely ridiculous because IMHO this place has the BEST espresso. It's smooth every time, not bitter or watery, and the baristas always use the perfect amount of syrup. I love the housemade bourbon vanilla. Service is great, and the ambience is quiet and cozy. If you're a coffee snob like me, try this hidden gem!

I've been to this coffee shop several times. But we were down the street at a park and decided to…read morestop in on a weekday. The young woman that was working was very nice. They have good coffee there. I believe they may make their syrups. They do not have any sugar-free syrups. I used to love their brown sugar latte, but they did not have that syrup this time so I just got vanilla and it was good. This is a quiet coffee shop that is good for reading or working on a laptop. Their prices are in the range of most coffee shops. They have a variety of seating from seating against the wall with a table in front and chairs on the opposite side. They have quite a few high tops with stools, but no backs on them. Then there are a few high tops that do have backs. They also have a large couch, which is what we sat at. They have an outdoor couch by the front door that people can use. I'm not sure if they share the patio seating with Jason's deli next-door. The only suggestion I have is that the floor needs to be swept more often because each time I've been in there's quite a few crumbs. Also, the couch probably needed to be vacuumed and the cushion straightened.

It even came with a plastic knife and candles, which was a nice touch. Best of all, it was "not too sweet," which is honestly the highest compliment you can give an Asian bakery cake. We also grabbed a latte and a mushroom onion pastry, and the pastry was delicious. We've consistently had great experiences with the cakes and baked goods at Tous Les Jours, even were we live in LA/SGV. That said, their drinks are just okay, and my latte took quite a while to come out. But for pastries and cakes, they're always a solid choice.

Also, if you care, they serve Onyx coffee which I'd say is of solid quality , but not exactly a local offering, but that doesn't deter me. They also have some nice pastry options like "homemade" pop-tarts croissants. It's also conveniently located to my BF's place, so that is working in their favor.

However, I've visited this place at least 20 times, and I've only been able to get one about 2-3 times. Either it's so popular that people buy them right away as soon as they're put on the shelf, or they simply don't make enough. As everyone knows, their products are a little pricey, which means you can only grab a small selection, about 2-3 pieces with a coffee, and it's already $20-$30. So they're definitely on the expensive side for a bakery. The cake was great, but I wish the price range were around $30-$40 (it's currently about $55-$60+). The staff are welcoming and attentive. However, there can be a long wait, even when there are only 3-4 customers checking out. Overall, great bakery and more cream puff please!

We came here once before years ago and I remember it being packed then too even though I'm sure it was later in the day. The line moved quickly and they gave you a number after so that you don't have to stand waiting by the counter. They bring your drinks and items out to you while you find a place to sit and wait. I had never seen that before and I really appreciated it. Their menu has upgraded since the last time I came, it's now on two large TV screens that help you read before it's your turn at the counter. They also have a sandwich board with seasonal drinks for those that are looking for something sweeter or with different flavors. I had the Banana Cabana which was my first banana coffee drink ever during this time where they seem to be popping up everywhere. My immediate reaction was that the banana flavoring is not for me. It was still drinkable though, with the perfect amount of sweetness. I don't fault them at all, it was an experimental choice on my part. Next time I will just stick with adding my own flavors to an iced latte. Plenty of seating and despite being crowded, there was a relatively low noise level. They also have plenty of pastry and food options. By the time I left I realized I forgot to order a chorizo breakfast burrito, so I will have to try that next time.

I stopped by on a Friday and it was crowded but not so much that I couldn't find a seat. There was actually some seating available both inside and out. I chose inside and enjoyed my cold brew with oat milk and got some work done. A couple of friends met up and they noted we were in "productive mode," so we limited the chat until our lunch break when we headed out. I'll definitely return to Pilgrim Coffee on future visits to the area!

Huge shoutout to Becca, she was incredibly knowledgeable about the coffee and took the time to walk me through options, then helped me pick out a matcha drink that was exactly my taste.

I'll definitely be back.

Ten out of ten on the concept, but I have to admit that when you compare this Cafe Equinox in OP to…read morethe Shawnee Cafe Equinox, this one does not compare when it comes to vibes. Their other location has colorful seating, artwork, with tables & chairs woven into a forest-like wonderland of plants. This one? A table. A gray backdrop. Sure there are plants, but they're a ways away and it felt more like hanging out in a midwestern garage. The other issue that has me knocking it down some stars is that this has become THE place to get warm. Sure we have our furnaces blasting in January, or a fireplace roaring, but you know that kind of late spring, humid warm? This is usually it, but I have to say I was borderline cold on my last visit. It felt clammy and more "March spring" than "May spring." Coffee is EXCELLENT from Thou Mayest, and it's hard to go wrong. Wifi was not all that strong and ran into a few issues on a video call, but is relatively sufficient for most day-to-day work items if you choose to work from here. If it's equidistant, I would say go to the Shawnee location for sure. If this is the closest one, it's not all bad, but I would love to see some real warmth and color in here to help complete the escape-winter-energy that we all need during this cold, gray stretch.

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.
