Whistle Stop Coffee & Mercantile

Tried to order breakfast sandwiches and learned it would be a 20-25 minute wait. While I appreciate that we were warned ahead of time so we didn’t spend half an hour waiting on a sandwich, it still took forever to get one drink. One of us ordered a drip and the barista was so eager to serve the person after us that she never gave us the cup for the drip which they usually do at the counter. Since she was talking to the next person before we could even move out of the way, we decided to wait until my drink came out, thinking maybe they would give us the cup for the drip coffee then. But no cup and you can’t get anyone’s attention to ask for a cup unless you get back in the long line and wait to talk to the person taking orders. I think they grind coffee at the counter too which makes it hard to hear the barista and I imagine hard for her to hear customers. If you have a lot of time to kill and tolerance for tons of noise this is the place for you.

This place is amazing! Love the atmosphere and the coffee drinks are outstanding. Their staff is super friendly. They have a new drink special each week which is always fun to try. Don't miss out on stopping by!

This is a great stop for coffee, sweet or savory baked goods, and breakfast or lunch. Potato bacon soup was their soup of the day when I went and it was delicious.

Only been 4 times and every time I wonder why I go back. Didn't get my roll until asking 15 minutes later. Basically took out of front counter and put it on a plate. That took 15 minutes? Hard as a rock had to ask again for it to be heated. Was great for my waistline since it was so bad I only ate a couple bites.
They were very nice though but the overall experience, ugh.

I've only eaten here once (we aren't in the area often) but I would go back. The drink was good and the breakfast sandwich was tasty. My only complaint was that it seemed to take longer than expected to get our drinks (there was one person in line in front of us, but there seemed to be a backlog of orders so maybe I just missed a rush?).

To all DoorDash dashers NEVER deliver to this business unless you want a $2 tip for delivering over 20 gallons of milk and six 20 lbs bags of ice with no assistance from staff! Two nice customers helped me with the ice.

I've only ordered them through door dash so far, but it is easily one of my favorites to order in. 1) As far as I can tell breakfast is available pretty late in the mornings, so that's great on days I'm going in for a late shift. 2) The coffee is amazing. The chai tea latte is flavorful. I enjoy trying out their different lattes. 3) Their food is great quality, and tastes amazing. Their sandwiches are elevated with the faccocia bread and pepper sauce. 4) They haven't got my order wrong.

10 out of 10. Would choose this place over Starbucks any day.

I had the opportunity to visit downtown Lee’s Summit today and stopped in at Whistle Stop for a late lunch. Our drinks were promptly made. However, I had to inquire on our food after waiting over 30 minutes. When our food did arrive the ham and cheese quiche was lacking in the ham department. My deli chicken sandwich wasn’t a deli chicken sandwich at all but a roasted chicken panini with bacon. Forty five minutes into our experience, with no apologies, I asked for my correct sandwich to be boxed to go. To my surprise on my way home I find a sad little sandwich that nowhere justified it’s $6.99 price. It’s a one and done experience for me and the Whistle Stop Coffee and Mercantile.

Always friendly staff and amazing food and coffee

It’s in the nice location in downtown Lee’s Summit. The atmosphere is nice. There is a patio in the back very nice and quiet.
