Coffee Shop · 73 tips and reviews
Edmond Hong: Great coffee in the heart of the KC city market. They use Oddly beans but they also have lots of great guest roasters they showcase. Baristas make great drinks and Quay is a must try for KC visitors.
Refe: These guys take their time and get it right. This is a high quality, small quantities coffee shop. Great cafe, too.
Nadine L.: If you're a coffee snob, this is the place for you (but they're not snobby at all). The limited menu ensures that every cup tastes amazing.
Sarah Eggers: The Chai leaves are grown locally in Westside. Nice level of semi-bitter spice that is perfect and smooth with soy.
Justin Fulmer: Get and iced pour over, sit outside, and watch the Urban Outfitters catalog walk by.
Derek Humlicek: Little Freshie owner Lindsay Laricks has decided to close her well-loved store July 1. Laricks explains that she is ready to move on to new projects. via www.pitch.com/food-drink

Greg Furstner: Try the Pendergast cocktail. Nice...
Jonathan Robinson: Best gin and tonic you'll ever taste. The Pendergast is fantastic too. And there's no bad decision on the (seasonally changing) food menu...
