Equal Minded Cafe & Event Center

Best chai latte in Kansas City!! Great paninis as well. Such a great spot

My son and I really enjoyed the free Wi-Fi and watching part of the Chiefs game! Some upsets during our visit: I assumed the Pesto Chicken Toast would have shredded chicken or chicken breast, however, it was thin sliced “average” deli meat for $12.00. Still, it was pretty tasty. The service took a really long time, even though we were the only customers. There were zero “dine-in plates”: everything is served in a box, or on a paper plate. I hate making cash when it isn’t necessary. No matter, I believe in supporting local, so I’ll be back soon to try a chai latte. 👍

Excellent place for coffee, to hang out and/or work. Here only for coffee this morning but it was first class and I will definitely return to try out other drinks and food. Very light and open space with a variety of seating/tables including a sofa. Very welcoming. In back there is a larger event space that would be great for family groups, gatherings, dance classes etc. Well worth checking out if you are looking for something like that. I will definitely be back - check it out, you will be glad you did

The slightly different take on the Reuben sandwich was on point! A bit expensive, but worth it for quality and supporting local.

We just moved to the neighborhood. We've tried other coffee spots on Troost but this is the one that feels welcoming, not pretentious. Dawn the owner knows his coffee and the neighborhood. His dog Vito is just as sweet.

Don't sleep on Equal Minded Cafe!! Dropped in to grab a coffee and do some work and it did not disappoint! The cafe has a great vibe and is an excellent place to get work done or just hang out. The food and coffee is FANTASTIC (get you a chicken pesto panini - it'll change your life) and the owner is super friendly. Will definitely be back!

The owner is a dope guy. Real cool real genuine. I had the pesto chicken sandwich and it was AMAZING. Very flavorful I will get this everytime. There are a lot of options to choose from here for smoothies and frappes as well.

HIGHLY recommend - SO glad I had the chance to visit Equal Minded Cafe! The sandwiches are delicious - fresh ingredients, generous portions, perfect taste combinations - the service is fantastic, and the space is open and inviting. Such a compelling story, I am so looking forward to returning!

This is one of my favorite places to eat at in Kansas City. The food is amazing, the service is phenomenal, and the atmosphere is very cozy. Definitely recommend if you want to write, read, or work with a nice drink and a chicken pesto.

Equal Minded Cafe has an amazing ambience for students to study, and they even have a UMKC discount!! The food was incredible, and the staff was super nice. Definitely recommend!
