This is the perfect place to go to avoid the chains for cheaper but delicious coffee.
I come here so many times in the week I love the coffee and the employees are so sweet and make the best drinks.
The best coffee and muffins. Service is always top notch
My favorite place! I stop by almost every morning on my way to work. Theyre fast, delicious and everyone is always so nice. They have the best Iced Lavendar Lattes ❤️
I love this place! One of the few independent coffee shops in the Northland. They have a fantastic selection along with seasonal goodies on rotation.
Best coffee. Hands down. Everything is great and the staff can't be beat.
Love this coffee shop! Super friendly staff and the BEST coffee around!!
Honestly can’t remember if I’ve already left a review for friendly bean, but I love this place!! It’s my usual coffee shop and I’m admittedly here almost everyday. I order the same thing every time, hazelnut latte, and they make it perfectly every time. Staff is so so nice, and I highly recommend. Their whole menu is great!
I literally love this place so so much! I am a barista at another company elsewhere but I still come here often. The coffee is always great and so is the service! support small businesses :)!
I’ve wished we had a little coffee & bookshop by my house for a while and here it is! In the library. I love coming here with my kids. They have an assortment of yummy drinks and baked goods.
I love friendly bean but the potholes in the drive through make me feel like I’m driving through World War 1 trenches. I literally saw a bird using one of the potholes as a bath one time.
Gosh I love the friendly bean! It’s probably hands down one of the best coffee shops in the northland, in the Kansas City area for that matter! There’s something about their coffee that I can’t pinpoint exactly, but it’s better than your average run-of-the-mill coffee shop like Starbucks, Caribou, or Scooters by a long shot. Those places are nice too for name recognition, but if you’re looking for supporting local business, Friendly bean is a great place to go! I used to go here a lot and study and get work done in my early days in college. Can’t recommend it enough!
Delicious coffee but I’ve never in my life been through a drive-through with so many massive potholes. Please fix your drive-through!
Drive-thru coffee is my favorite. Friendly Bean has helpful staff that will help you get the drink you really want. Very tasty drinks, both hot and cold.
Absolutely the best vanilla latte I've ever had. Mocha and coco are also good choices. Just be aware of the line. You are not the first person to be aware they are open; very apparent in the mornings.
You can't beat this place. The caramel coffee frappe is worth getting out of bed for. Even worth waiting in line which sometimes is rather long at certain times of day. Cheapest place and buy ten get one free!
Friendly Bean is hard to replace since I moved to Texas. Each time I visit KC Friendly Bean it is always our place to get coffee at either establishment off Barry Rd (drive through only but the lines move quick enough) OR at the Woodneath Library (walk-in with seatings in the cafe area). Friendly Bean's prices are afforable and better tasting unlike other franchises and over hyped places. Muffins are large sized, made on the premises, and not frozen and brought in. They roast their coffee beans and it is fresh! I spent under $20 (not including tip) for 3 coffees and 3 muffins. Photo attached is a harvest muffin and italian cappuccino. Missing Sam and the coffee brew gang, hope to see you all again in February 2023.
My FAVORITE coffee shop, ever! I have been to quite a few coffee shops in KC, not only because I am a coffee addict, but have lived in KC my whole life and Friendly Bean never disappoints! Thank you Friendly Bean for having the best coffee and fabulous employees!
Friendly staff and good coffee. I like how they put the right amount of ice into the drink and not too much like Starbucks does sometimes
Out of all the places north the river for drive thru coffee services this one has been by far the best tasting coffee and portions for price and fast service. I love it only come here now when I want a coffee to go. They even have punch cards so you can get a free coffee after buying so many.
