Second Best Coffee

This is the best coffee and food that I've had in Kansasouri. We were recommended the breakfast burritos, then ordered the vegan and bacon burritos.

Bababooie they were delicious. Well worth the stop.

I love the relaxed atmosphere of Second Best. It's not pretentious or uptight like some coffee shops can be. I like the minimalist direction of the interior design, and the clean aesthetic of the counters, tables and floors. The coffee is top notch, whether it be the cold brew, or an espresso based beverage. Their pastries are amazing and always fresh. And the locally sourced meat in their burritos are stellar, the Korean Style Burrito is a favorite with red cabbage, kimchi, beef and rice. Really experienced staff, that really know how to work their espresso machine, and their latte art, every cup, every time. Definitely a must go to, for any coffee lover in Kansas City.

I love this place so much. Amazing coffee, no snobbery. This is truly a shop for people who love good coffee- if you prefer sugary drinks or a million choices of milks and flavors this is not the place for you, (but they won't judge you if that's what you like... they just don't serve that stuff.) Their home made almond milk is incredible and they make their own simple syrup. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming and they bring your coffee to your table. No name screaming, no standing in lines and guessing which drink is yours. I recommend any of their special seasonal drinks and the Zip Zap!

I’ve never had a bad cup of coffee. The employees are super nice and the vibe inside is great!

Went in the other day with some friends. Baristas we’re cool, loved the atmosphere. Ordered an Ethiopian pour over and a burrito. Pour over was amazing, burrito hit the spot. Plan on being back in soon.

I adore this place. Absolutely outstanding coffee. The people are always really polite, and the music selection is fantastic. This place really branched out my middle-aged friend's taste. This wasn't the place I expected her to like! But we go here just about every Thursday afternoon as our regular spot. I love the merch, but like all amazing things, it's outside of my budget. When you're there drinking the best latte of your life, you're gonna wanna buy a pin and a hat to go with it, so just follow your gut and do it. ✌

I paid $4.44 for an Americano. I ask for cream and got whole milk.
This is seriously overpriced and doesn't taste good. Will not come back.

Such a modest claim to easily one of the best locations to grab an in house roasted cup of coffee. Their burritos are phenomenal and the smoked cookies are a great treat. They may call themselves Midwest Modest, they have earned my vote as best coffee in KC!

Where to start? If you're here you're at one of the best shops in the city. They are extremely nice and don't mess around with the coffee. They've been one of the best shops during Covid and when things are back to normal their service (bring drinks/food to your table and take it when your done) is just the extra icing on the cake.

I love this place! Probably the best coffee in the area. They always have really creative seasonal drinks, and the standard coffee drinks are stellar as well. I recently tried their nitro cold brew coffee and loved it. They serve food as well. I've had a couple breakfast burritos, and thought they were amazing as well. Definitely worth checking out, even if it's a bit of a drive.
