I'm starting to look at coffee shops a little differently these days. Obviously quality of food and offerings are important but the type of space is critical. As I venture further into consulting and meet with more people, I'm less interested in simply asking, "Is this a good coffee shop?" and more interested in, "Who is this place good for?" I came to Prairie specifically looking for somewhere to collaborate. Good tables, enough room to spread out papers, sit across from someone, compare laptops and actually have a conversation without feeling like you're taking over the entire coffee shop. Urban Prairie absolutely fits that bill. What I wasn't expecting was how much more there was to it. There's a game store attached, which was such a cool surprise, plus another room with larger tables that would be even better for brainstorming or working with a small group. Then right in the middle you still get that classic cozy coffee shop atmosphere people actually want. Some people need a quiet corner and headphones. Some need a place to catch up with a friend. Some of us show up with two laptops, papers everywhere and ideas to work through. Urban Prairie gives you options for all three. I'm going to keep trying different coffee shops around KC with that mindset because sometimes the best review isn't whether a place is "good." It's whether it's the right place for what you need that day. read more

Delicious breakfast burritos and a great London fog! I wish I would've read the summer menu though because I probably would've liked their blueberry latte. The burritos came with cholula and fire roasted salsa which tasted great. Baristas were nice and quick with drinks. It was a hopping morning here! Art on the walls was so fun and they had several seating options- we went for the couch and it was great! Will be coming back! read more

I love going to urban Prairie coffee to write. They have a great selection of coffees, pastries, and café style food. Everything that I've ordered has been fresh made right there or brought in by a local bakery. I've enjoyed everything that I have ordered there. The ambience is perfect for any gamers, writers, or artists. Some of the staff is better than others. But none have been outright unpleasant or rude. read more

I LOVE LOVE LOVED the espresso here!!! It was so smooth, almost no bitterness. They also had reasonable prices for alternative milks and house made syrups, what's not to love? I got a lavender rosemary iced latte and it was so deeply flavorful and satisfying. The fact that this cute cafe is attached to a game store is a HUGE plus that will keep me coming back! (Not to mention I need to try their breakfast items, also extremely reasonably priced) Very grateful to have found this gem!! read more

There was a huge line and the business was packed, so most likely they do wonderful business and make most people very happy. I came with the wife and son, we waited in line, it was moving, so no issues. We each ordered a different coffee off of their seasonal menu so we could each try something different. We sat down and tastes essentially nothing but milk. All three of us tried each others, and everyone agreed there just wasn't anything there. I'm sure there was coffee in there somewhere, and yes they were all different, but there wasn't anything about any of them that was notable. We live 45 min away and was in the area for something else, but probably won't find a reason to return. The next door game shop was cool, and everyone in both shops were very nice. read more

Stopped by today for my reading hour. I was surprised that they weren't crazy busy for Noonish on a Saturday. Looks small on the outside, but there were more seating options than I expected. The chai was okay. The muffin was pretty good. Nice staff. read more

Good coffee with friendly faces. I stop by here a few days a week when I have to go into the office and get a flat white. My wife will tell you that I am a coffee snob, but really I just like what I like and I like this place. The coffee shop is pretty busy in the morning but it's pretty spacious inside and there is outside seating when the weather is good. I like that it's low key and comfortable. They serve messenger coffee here and it happens to be one of my favorite local brands. The service is friendly and I always see the same people which for me is a good sign. They can do some pretty good latte art. Take a look at the picture. They have a small selection of pastries and a menu for sandwiches and the like. I have bought some danishes for my mom a couple times and she scarfs 'em down so they must be good. I haven't eaten any of the sandwiches but they look fine when folks get them. I come here for coffee. If you're in mission and you want a cup or need a place to meet a friend consider urban prairie. read more

I asked google maps where I could find a coffee shop between the hotel and my meeting spot, and it sent me here - what a great choice! Bright sunny spot with a side room for meetings, plenty of diagonal parking on both sides of the street. They have happy plants in the windows, treats and of course coffee. The winter me y had some fun flavor combinations, one of which I enjoyed on ice - and my request for half sweet was cheerily accommodated. I've marked this coffee shop on my favorites list for the next time I'm in town read more

A great place to meet with friends!! We came in a rainy day. The place felt extremely cozy. They were super busy but all the cashiers were moving fast taking orders and making drinks with a huge on smile on their face. There are plenty sitting places. The board game store next door is a plus. I got the lavender hazelnut latte with oat milk and the southwest burrito. Both were tasty! Would recommend checking it out. read more

absolutely love this coffee shop! Their cold brew is exceptional -- and I'm quite picky when it comes to coffee. They also offer a great variety of pastries, including gluten-free options. I used to drive all the way downtown just for their gluten-free blueberry muffins, so I'm thrilled to find them here now. I hope they add pistachio and more gluten-free varieties in the future. The patio area is lovely and dog-friendly, perfect for relaxing outside. Parking can be a bit tricky during peak hours, but I've always been able to find a spot. read more

Urban Prairie Coffee - Cold brew - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mission, Kansas

The atmosphere is good... your quintessential bustling coffee shop. The staff is hot or miss amd can be somewhat slow on simple unedited orders. They use Scratch for bakery options... Some of the options taste a tad stale at the time of purchase. read more

Urban prairie coffee is such a gem coffee shop. We decided to stop by for some coffee during our morning walk and we weren't disappointed. There was a line but it went by quickly! We got the French toast latte and the Mr Darcy from their spring menu. Their spring menu had various fun coffee options with the French toast latte being one of their top sellers. We also got some plain and chocolate filled croissants. Both drinks and croissants were absolutely delish. I love how it is connected to a game store. Both businesses are family owned. So you can get your coffee and walk right next door to play some board/card games. The baristas were so friendly, I forgot to tell them oat milk since I'm lactose intolerant and they were able to switch it for me. I'll definitely be back to try out new latte flavors. read more

I was next door at Sandhills Brewery and noticed a lot of foot traffic at this business. People going in and out with coffees and pastries so I had to check it out. The space is pretty good sized. I believe they are associated with a gaming store and there were three different rooms with the middle being where you could order food and drinks. I accidentally came in through a different door and into a room where people had various board games set up. I didn't get any coffee because of the time of day when I visited. But if it had been earlier, I would have ordered something from their list. They also have a few sandwiches and they looked pretty good. I went with a couple of pastries. The cranberry orange muffin was good. I do wish that the cranberry was more throughout the muffin rather than just the top but it was still tasty and I'd def opt for one in the future. The winner for me was the cherry danish. The pastry was super flaky and the filling was fruity and delicious. I'll definitely return to try more things! read more

LOVE visiting Urban Prairie for coffee, snacks, working, or connecting with folks! UP brews delicious Messenger coffee, and I love my usual cold brew with a splash of oat. I've also had the avocado toast and protein balls, both were solid, but the real standout here is the coffee. The main coffee shop is connected to the business next door and another large seating area, as well as tables outside, so there are ample space and seats available, even though they are typically very busy. Service is always quick and friendly despite the crowds. Definitely visit and/or make this your regular coffee place! read more

I've been here a few times this year and so far I have never been disappointed. The baristas are super friendly, the atmosphere is so comforting, and the coffee and pastries are excellent. I love their wide range of seasonal drinks, too! The only downside for some is the drinks and food may be a slight bit on the pricier side, but I expected that as it's more than made up for by everything else. I also love the local art displays, but I'm an artist so I'm a bit biased there. I'm definitely coming back! read more

From the outside the place looks really small. once you enter inside you find that they are connected to the shop next door and it is actually 3 different rooms. We sat toward the front door and the temperature was warm but not overly warm for being 20 degrees outside. The noise level inside was on the quiet side. The drinks were good flavor, they also carried energy drinks. In the back they had board games that you could play if you wanted as well. read more

Quick bites, good coffee and the perfect meet up spot. Loved the Frosted Ginger Latte. Bold flavor with a hint of sweetness. Paired with the avocado toast. Great choice of grain bread and the everything seasoning on it . Located on Johnson Dr surrounded by local shops and across from where Mission Market is in the summer. Open space with plenty of tables making it a great meet up spot. read more

This is an update since going a variety of times. The baristas are not very welcoming the last several times upon visiting. I may visit twice a month and it's been like this lately, to other customers as well. The sugar free syrups are terrible the lattes taste weaker. Probably going to pass from now on and frequent cafes that are more consistent in their service and quality. The atmosphere is okay but slightly cramped in the front area. read more

I am a total catch for a coffee spot and if it's a local business, then feel free to save me a seat. Same thing probably goes for local craft beer, but let me refocus. Urban Prairie Coffee, or UPC, might be in the perfect spot. Snuggled into a slot on the north side of old downtown Mission, you might miss it if you aren't looking. But when you find it, WHAM!, you know. Plenty of sidewalk space to enjoy your coffee outdoors, and (now) plenty of indoor space as well should you need a table & WiFi. UPC has shared space with the games store just next door, but now the space has expanded to the other side with extras tables & art! And then there's coffee (and baked goodies!) UPC starts with a great base roast and builds from there with drinks of all kinds. Friendly, skilled baristas make everything on demand and to order while serving up fabulous pastries, breakfast plates, and a smattering of sandwiches. This visit had us sharing cinnamon rolls & cheese danish and neither lasted long - way too yummy! A 'dirty' chai, which is just a sensational chai with an espresso shot or two, is one of their off-menu specialities, and iced or warm this drink is spot on! Prices are competitive with the chains, if not better (take that, Seattle!) and your experience is virtually guaranteed to be better. Hours run from just early enough (7 AM) to at least 5:00 daily, extended to 7 PM Wed-Fri. Parking is on the street, old school style, but generally available. The WiFi is robust, the space is always getting better, the menu has just the right breadth, and the coffee is outstanding. Definitely one of the better coffee spots in northern JoCo! read more

The service was great. Walked in and the baristas were hard at work getting drinks out. The vibes were great, felt welcoming as soon as I walked in. Urban Prairie has seasonal menus! I loved the French toast latte and the strawberry chai. I always look forward to see what they have new with each coming season. Plenty of indoor seating with additional outdoor seating. Vegan friendly read more

Stumbled on spot when trying to find some good coffee and it did not disappoint. I had the Mr. Darcy which is perfect for anyone that doesn't like sweet coffee and the French toast latte was delicious too! The service was great and it's tied in with a card shop you can explore while waiting for your food/coffee. It can get busy so keep that in mind. Look forward to checking it out next time I'm in town. Keep up the great work! read more

What a delightful place! In my ongoing discovery of KC area coffee shops today I ended up in this gem. Not only was it extremely clean and well maintained, the staff was warm and caring. I ended up having a brown sugar butter Carmel almond milk iced latte ( yeah that's a mouthful), it was delicious and well balanced. I definitely lab to bring friends back here! read more

I work around the corner from Urban Prairie which is super convenient. I love that they change their menu seasonally and always have a lot of options. I will say their seasonal drinks tend to lean on the sweet side but they are all really good. I usually just get a dirty chai which is my favorite. Their chai is solid, not great but its pretty good. I tried their breakfast burrito for the first time and it was pretty good. A little too much tortilla and not enough filling for me but in a pinch, since it's so close to my office, I'd get it again. For GF people they do have GF muffins individually wrapped to not contaminate them which is awesome!!! The staff is super nice and always friendly. It makes for a good spot to grab coffee and get work done. They also have outside seating which is a perk. Overall, I like this place but don't love it. The convenient factor for me is huge and am happy to have it close to work when I need a quick fix. read more

I think it s a nice place but the prices are too high for the quality of food we are getting. There are times I think that local coffee shops over price their items because the chain coffee shop does but it makes me not want to support them and go get the chain because I feel like the quality is justified. I got a seasonal latte which has something to do with cookie dough. It lacked a lot of flavor and I was tempted to add sugar, there was nothing about the flavor that resembled cookie dough or a cookie. I also got the avocado toast. To add bacon it was like 3 or 4 dollars and it was just bacon crumbles, I thought they were full pieces. I felt the avocado toast was overpriced. My friend got the panini and it was very whimp-y and a sad excuse of a sandwich. I have come past this place many times but there's nothing in here to bring me back. I love supporting local but I don't think this is worth the price. Not saying it's atomically different from Starbucks but if Starbucks is going to give me good flavor I'd rather go there. read more

Tasty! Spacious! And quick service! Stopped by to get a matcha and a pastry! I went with the cinnamon roll which they warmed up and it was SOOO good. No lie, it caught me by surprise. My matcha was a great color and tasted like a pretty decent grade! read more

Visiting Urban Coffee was ... fine. I was in the area, picking up my son's birthday cake, and decided I could use an afternoon treat. Typed "coffee" into Yelp and Urban Coffee popped up as the closest. Customer service was ... fine. They acknowledged me and asked for my order which does the job, but nothing seemed especially friendly or above and beyond. They simply did their job. I ordered my go-to. An iced chai with almond milk. $7.07. Plus a tip, it came to $8.07. That is a lot. Much much more than I pay at my neighborhood Coffee shop. Kinda expected it to taste like gold. It was fine, but definitely not the best I've ever had. I appreciate that they were open and that I was able to get an afternoon treat while out running errands. read more

Very busy coffee shop but super quick! We enjoyed our lattes but nothing over the top. Staff was friendly and inviting.

A sweet little cafe to grab a drink, sit and chat with friends or even get some work done. I remember when this place first opened and it was so quiet inside. Now it's bustling with young professionals and friends of all ages. I've seen several regulars who come by to work on some spreadsheets and sort through files. It really seems to work for them. My favorite thing is that they have a pretty inspiring Seasonal menu that changes frequently! I like to grab a new coffee each time (and maybe a cheeky pastry), then head next door to peruse the boardgames. The staff are friendly and always happy to make suggestions for the indecisive among us. I've enjoyed my views immensely and look forward to my next visit. read more

What a gem! For those looking to extend their coffee spot explorations outside of midtown and crossroads, this is a must try. In nicer weather today highly recommend snagging a table outside and enjoying the fast-growing Mission area. My coffee selections have always been basic but they do always have fun seasonal options. There is seating inside and out along with tables in the connected games store so you can pick a board game and play with friends while enjoying you're brews. The menu is veggie/vegan friendly and if you'd like to add meat, I picked potatoe breakfast with bacon. 10/10. read more

This is a great little spot in downtown Mission. There is a good amount of foot traffic throughout the day, and there are lots of folks who seem to be working remotely from here - which is nice because I do the same. The service is quick. They have all the coffee shop beverages you'd expect, but also a cooler with canned soda, etc. There are a couple of food items, beyond your standard pastries or protein balls, such as a turkey panini, that make this place worth staying through a mealtime. Great outdoor seating as well. This spot will be on my regular rotation. read more

This is a cute little coffee shop in Mission with a perfect patio for enjoying breakfast on a nice morning. It's usually very busy unless you get in early, but the service is good and they turn orders around quickly. They have seasonal drinks, solid coffee and good burritos, quiche and pastries. The one knock is that it's pretty pricey for a coffee/breakfast place- two people can easily spend $50 in a single visit. read more

Urban Prairie Coffee is a neighborhood favorite of mine. It's a hole in the wall place along Johnson drive that you could miss if you didn't look close enough. They have the best pastries (cinnamon roll in particular) and my latte is never too sweet or too bitter. I ALWAYS get an iced caramel latte at every coffee shop I go to (basic white b***h I know). They've created more grab and go options with COVID-19. I got the caprese salad recently and the tomatoes were sooo fresh! It was amazing. The baristas are very friendly and they have a reward system. 100 points = $1 off. I get a lot of these. Right now their interior seating isn't an option but there's plenty of seating outside. Next door they have a board game shop where you can rent board games which adds a cool element. They have a "call ahead" option now so my coffee is always ready when I get there. This also helps prevent clutter inside/promotes social distancing. This will always be my #1 coffee place in Mission. I can't wait to be able to sit inside again. If you stop by on the weekends, make sure to grab their biscuits and gravy special. Always a fav of mine! read more

Cute little spot. Good cold brew, nice outdoor seating off of main street. Friendly staff.

Love having this shop down the street from work. They make nice drinks with a fun and ever-changing seasonal selection and their baked goods are nice and yummy. This location has been quite a few different things, but I have a feeling this is here to stay. I enjoy the local feel and the little game store next door as well. Come and check it out I'm sure you won't be disappointed! read more
