Filling Station Coffee - Midtown

This place is awesome....and yes, I totally agree with the reviewer that said you immediately don't feel "hip" enough. LOL The ambiance is very "hipster". In keeping with the filling station vibe, you are given a license plate to put on your table so they can bring your order to you. How cool is that?

I used to work about a block from here and it was my special treat to get out of the office to come here. The only reason I didn't come very often was that it made me not want to go back to work. I've had several things on the menu but I highly recommend the almond marzipan croissant (for your sweet tooth) or the Bitchin BBQ French Dip....for your savory yen.

Why did I only give it four stars? Parking is not good and finding seating can sometimes be a challenge.

Excellent coffee shop. Croissants are better than the ones I had recently had in Paris. Coffee and espresso best in KC. Breakfast sandwiches are very hearty and delicious as well. Rather pricey and parking can be a pain, but overall worth it.

Great service depends on the day you go.

On Saturday, I was looking for some gluten free options for my wife. They were very helpful! Our food was delicious.

Apparently donuts are delivered on Tuesdays, Thursday's, and Saturdays.

I went back on Sunday and asked for other gluten free options. The person who helped me on Saturday was not there. They were annoyed and not very helpful.

Great out door patio, friendly service. First time was kind of a mess, shop flow is not very intuitive and felt awkward. Had no clue where dishes went either. Espresso was killer so that's all that mattered, smoothies were amazing too!

Great quiche and coffee - just a little disappointed. Intended to chill out here for a while before heading to work - gave them my name to call too. Instead, they packaged everything up to go and didn't call out the order or my name. Didn't realize until coffee cooled a bit. Literally a small thing but kinda derailed my plan to chill out there and enjoy the atmosphere.

I used to work here, and still come in ALL the time. Great local coffees, great local pastries, great atmosphere, free wifi, bicycle parking, basically everything you should want from a coffee shop. The original location (this one) has much more sitting area than the Westport shop (which is more of a drive-thru), but both are fantastic.
Also, if you come through, don't skip out on the juice. Working here, I got free juice pretty much 24/7, and it's all fresh-squeezed in store and FANTASTIC. Same goes for the sandwiches, some of the best coffee shop food in KC.

Breakfast sandwiches were delicious. The coffee tasted more like what you would get at a gas station. Something definitely off with our drinks.

Love the atmosphere. Best coffee in town. They have wonderful baked goods, salads, soups and sandwiches. I would recommend this place to anyone. Love the people that go there regularly as well. Great place!

This had been a good place to study and I've had friends work on here in the past so I've preferred coming here but today I was blown away, literally by the volume of music the was deafening and hard to understand in any other way than to drive me out of the place at the precise minute. I knew they closed at 6 so I was already starting to gather my things up but I thought that was pretty rude. My ears are still ringing and I don't think I'll be back.

Great service, good atmosphere. Simple menu with straightforward choices in coffee and vegan juices. The baked goods looked promising as well. Food items are only served during the day and as I was there at about 8:00, I missed those.
