Whistle Stop Coffee & Mercantile

Ordered a plain coffee & "The Terminator" breakfast sandwich through Doordash on a whim in the midst of finals having never tried them before. Holy moly. Hands down the most delicious breakfast I've ever had. No exaggeration, *chefs kiss* perfection. Sooo yummy!
Plain coffee doesn't have much to brag about in general, but my coffee was fresh & flavorful. Adding Whistle Stop to one of my favorite places!

While my food was delicious - I can’t help but be upset that the owner isn’t taking County mandates seriously. Only employees were wearing masks - even though Jackson county has reinstated the mandates. Makes me think that the owner cares more about money than the employees who risk their safety and health. As someone who works in food service - we are ALL tired of masks and enforcing it but I also care about the safety of people I serve. I wish the owner and more patrons cared about the health and well being of those around them.

Good coffee, but I'm disappointed that they won't use a reusable cup unless you purchase one from them. They said they can't use my reusable because it's not sanitary, but when I asked if they would use one off of their display shelf if I purchased one, they said yes. Not really about public safety, but commerce.

The response they posted - to which there isn't a way to reply - is nonsense. Something sitting on a shelf in a public walkway is not "clean." Their cups are so near their counter that two people can't pass each other if one is ordering without bumping against the shelf they're on. They're free for anyone to handle and put back down. If the proprietor would care to share the cleaning schedule of their display, I'll be happy to remove this review as being in error.

Great food and coffee. Always crowded and loud though. Not enough seating so I rarely go planning to stay.

I got the terminator sandwiches a banana foster latte and a blueberry scone, as you can see the terminator is almost gone, wonderful food!

Very cute little local coffee shop in the heart of downtown Lee's Summit on the square.

Tons of options for coffee☕, hot chocolate or chai. Lots of yummy looking baked goods and even a pretty robust lunch menu.

Today was my first visit and I don't like coffee, so I ordered their hot vanilla chai latte and asked them to add Tumeric. (They have a tumeric chai but I thought this one might taste better). They were happy to customize it for me and it tasted amazing!!

Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere. I will definitely be back. ❤️

Drinks are fantastic, but don't order an iced drink without ice unless you want it to be 2/3rds full. No one is trying to rip you off by not ordering ice. Some of us just don't like watery drinks. As a fellow small business owner, I find it a little ridiculous to charge $5 for a drink and then not fill it up because a customer asks for a cold drink without ice.

I have not been here many times, maybe a dozen or so. I wish I was exaggerating, but every single time I have been in, EVERY TIME my order has been messed up.

This is our favorite local coffee shop ☕♥️ a gem of Lee's Summit. Nice atmosphere, outdoor patio seating, great food selection, and awesome coffee. Their coffee menu includes seasonal specialities. The people working are always extremely nice and polite!

I love their coffee and food so much! Some of the best in LS! The only thing that bums me is they don’t have a lot of outlets or outlets that work to work on your device if it needs to charge.
