Reviews
Staff are not so friendly, their communication skills needs improvement. Also, I have asked for a coffee to have in there, still my coffee served in a take away cup. The coffee was medium, not the best though.
I always get him okay. Good smoke a tasted like all the other my face that I've ever gotten and that's a good thing. I would recommend having either a macchiato or a matcha latte
This is a small-footprint Plaza outpost of the excellent local roaster Messenger Coffee. It is exciting to see them take this location, bringing top-quality coffee to the Plaza. The menu and quality is typical of Messenger's high standards, with many good coffees, smoothies, and other drinks. They have a limited selection of baked goods from the affiliated bakery Ibis. Indoor seating is good but somewhat limited by the small size. There is excellent patio seating, which should have good shade in the morning and mid-day, but will be sunny in the late afternoon.
Blueberry almond smoothie was the surprising underdog of this coffee shop. Got it every day we were visiting!
Cold brew and drip coffee for both warm sunny mornings and chilly rainy mornings.
Great espresso with classy presentation. Lacking one star because sadly the eggs are not farm fresh. Sad, but delicious nonetheless. Would have been a three star, BUT the barista said gorgeous after I ordered. It made me smile. Delivering a smile to someone that early in the morning deserves an Oscar. Great location, which is why the expectations were high, if I had been downtown this would be a five, but it’s the plaza! Come on! I’m supposed to feel like I’m in Spain. Farm fresh, cracked eggs in the kitchen, whisk beating against a bowl. I’ll pay $15 for the experience of sound any day. Instead the dull ‘brrrrr’ of whatever those super microwave machines are called.
Staff was helpful in helping me pick a tea. Offered to make an iced tea for one that’s only served hot. Friendly staff. Quaint quiet place. Indoor/outdoor seating. Lovely!
Stopped in with friends for lattes as we walked around The Plaza. I had a London Fog, it was good, a bit too sweet. The other ladies seemed to really enjoy their coffees.
Great little location by one of the best roasters in KC. Stop by for quick coffee while on the Plaza. Indoor seating is very limited, so no the best for meetings and seating availability indoors.
