Whistle Stop Coffee & Mercantile

Wow, what can I say... Came in for breakfast with my girl on an virtual school day and I'm so happy I did! The ladies running things here are simply FANTASTIC. They were very accommodating and made some scrambled eggs and sausage for the kiddo (not on the menu.) Thank you!!! The breakfast sandwich and drink of the week (cinnamon dulce latte) were delicious.

I've been to a Whistle Stop in my old hometown in Port Salerno Florida, but this one has a very very different atmosphere... and I mean that in a good way. I'll be back for sure! Thank you again!

Coffee was good. Cute place. Service was atrocious. Shocking actually. I ordered coffee and quiche. Everyone's order was correct, but I received a sandwich, can't remember what kind they sent. I explained I'd ordered quiche. The chef accused me of lying, then yelled at the very sweet young lady who'd taken my order after she'd admitted it was her mistake. No big deal, mistakes happen. It could have ended there. However, the chef didn't bring my food until the rest of the table finished eating and she literally slammed the cold quiche on the table and stormed off cursing under her breath. My table mates and I were shocked. I've never witnessed that kind of behavior in a place of business...ever. Sad really. Will never return.

Their coffee is the best, period! If you love coffee, this place is a MUST VISIT! The environment is so friendly and welcoming, and the location by downtown train tracks is perfect. Drink coffee, enjoy some breakfast, chat with friends, and watch some trains.

I hade a great experience here. Great sandwiches, I love their apple crunch sandwich. I can easily make half their menu at home. I'm inspired by there recipes! The pictures below are pictures of my sandwich that I got; it has chicken, honeycrisp apples, Dijon mustard, and aged cheddar cheese. It is so good! It's a weird combo, but it's so good! That's why I give it a five star.😊👌😋

Cutest little spot for breakfast or lunch! I definitely prefer lunch from here as I’m a fool for a good panini. The chicken spinach artichoke panini is to die for. I like to do the pick two with half a panini and half of a salad. The salads and dressings are really good. The price of a pick two is very reasonable! Especially compared to Panera bread, and wayyyyy better! I love the açaí green tea, everything we’ve had from here has been really good.

Fun stop in Lee's Summit! One of the BEST matcha lattes I've ever had, and the classic breakfast sandwich is delicious! Electrical outlets aren't at every table, so keep this in mind if you need to charge your devices.

The girls are always ready to help. I'm not really a coffee drinker, but my kids are. The young ladies behind the counter have always helped in picking out great coffee that my kids enjoyed.
They have art for sale (on the walls) and also had lovely fresh flowers at the tables.

I stopped by this place for a to-go order yesterday. I walked in and asked Piper about my order. She pointed to the area where they place the orders and told me it would be there. I looked and saw nothing. So I had a seat and waited. I saw Piper take a coffee to another pickup table and I asked her on her way back by if it was mine and got a snotty “no” from her. Fifteen minutes later I’m still waiting for a coffee! I then asked Ainsley about my order. It was then I was told that there was no order. Ainsley was super apologetic and immediately fixed the situation. I am thankful for her patience and sweetness. I was upset for being ignored and treated so rudely by the other woman. I will say that I think it was just bad timing. Maybe she was just having a bad day but I was too and she didn’t help. It is a super cute shop and very cozy/inviting. Had it not been for that, I would give this place five stars for sure!

Love it here! Only been here a few times, it’s so delicious though! The Carmel macchiato, is to die for as well as everything here. If you want social media worthy food or a cute coffee shop/cute downtown feel. Would suggest this place in a heart beat.

I'm updating my review unfortunately from 5 stars to 2 due to recent incidents. I've been a regular here for years. Lately, the quality of food and service has gone down hill. They take a lot longer to get drinks and food made and there have been multiple times we have had our drink orders mixed up and our breakfast sandwich sloppily prepared and thrown into the to-go container smashed/partially ripped up. I bought a breakfast sandwich last week and noticed the bottom of it was really cold to the touch. I peaked underneath and observed that whoever prepared the food apparently didn't notice that they were placing my hot sandwich on top of a frozen sausage patty. There seem to be different people working in there every time we come in now. Not sure what's going on, but hopefully management can tighten the ship to keep customers like myself coming back in the future.
