I don't even want to tell people how good this place is because then it will be overrun with folks talking loud and burping smoothies.
This is hands down my favorite coffee shop in Midtown. I'm pretty picky about my coffee and usually balk at paying $5-7 for a breakfast sandwich, but the coffee and food here are worth every penny. The food is fresh, fills me up, and doesn't leave me feeling gross afterward. The coffee is strong, and you can tell the employees really care. The atmosphere is inviting--it makes you want to sit down and stay awhile. I seriously can't say enough good things about this place!
I normally LOVE this coffee shop, it's right across the street from my apartment and I get coffee there often. Today however, I had the worst customer experience service there. I went in and ordered a large iced caramel latte which is my go to drink of choice so I'm pretty familiar with the price of the drink. Generally before tip and tax or any discounts (I get a small discount because I live at a Mac property.) this drink costs me $5.25. Today before tip and tax and any discounts the cost of this drink was $6.50, over a dollar increase. I asked the employees if they raised their prices and they said yes, however when I got my receipt I saw that not only did the base price of the drink go up but I also saw that they charged me for flavoring in my latte on a drink that has always already had flavoring built into the price of it. So essentially I paid almost a dollar more for my drink than I should have because it wasn't rung in correctly. When I tried to express this to the employees not only did they not really understand or offer to help me understand, but when I asked what price I should expect to pay for my drink in the future one of the employees (a gentlemen with shoulder length dark hair and facial hair) told me I should expect the higher price but hope for the lower price because it really just depends on which employee is ringing me up and what they feel like charging... Last I checked that isn't how pricing works in a retail establishment, food and beverage or otherwise. I don't mind if Mother Earth raises their prices but they need to provide a consistent customer experience or they're going to lose business. Nobody wants to go into a coffee shop having no idea what the price of their regular drink will be from day to day. My drink is still delicious but that experience left a bad taste in my mouth. ***Editing my review to reflect the follow up that I received from someone in upper management after sending a feedback request via their website.

Hidden little gem of a coffee shop in the Hyde park area. Everyone is so friendly, and the atmosphere is fireplace cozy. There is plenty of seating. Good coffee, cappuccino, latte, and drip coffee. I enjoy the waffle Sandwich the most. If you can't decide, there is the Everything Bagel sandwhich, that has everything on it.
Overpriced coffee. Served cold, and no it wasn't iced coffee, lol
Peaches and Cream smoothie, Mocha Cold Drink, Waffle Breakfast Sandwich, and a Bagel Breakfast Sandwich. I have to say, this was the most AMAZING thing I’ve had there. Although, they are pricy, they are delicious for the price and worth every dollar.
Very friendly great atomosphere
Arrived here in the afternoon and wasn't too busy. The Egg & Soy Chorizo Burrito was wonderful and I was thankful they had some scones leftover, cinnamon scone was phenomenal. I was disappointed that they didn't specialize in savory scones, but each place as their speciality. This coffee spot is great for reading or doing whatever work you need to do. Calm presence here and quality service.
Coffee was good, but wished the latte and mocha Coffee were a bit warner
EARTH FRIENDLY COMPOSTERS They now have no plastic! Utensils, water cups, straws and coffee stirrers are ALL compostable. FREE water dispenser and compostable cups. Always Friendly Baristas Fresh pastries plus creative reasonably priced sandwiches made just for you. My favorite is the Turkey Club which is big enough for two meals. They always provide a compostable take away box if you ask. Which if you live in a MAC apartment of which there are over 1200 in the neighborhood no recycling is provided! Blame KCMO. Recycling and composting bins on site are available however.
Hickory Smoked Mocha alone is worth the 5 stars
Coffee isn't anything stunning but the people and atmosphere totally make up for it. Sweetest employees ever.
Cozy coffee shop with good drinks and lots of indoor seats. Nice patio too. A few vegetarian options, but little vegan food options.
5 5 5's...All across the board, pretty good parking and the atmosphere is great. It's very quaint and cozy. I believe there's seating outside, it was my first time with some friends that go quite often. The music selections were good, I got to sing along with a little Chris Stapleton. Now I'm not a coffee person, but that was the best chocolate whatever the thing is called without any coffee-(my choice)... it was like a chocolate chippy frosted milkshake!! I can't wait to go get another one...delicious! Service was inviting, excellent, & informative!!!
Enjoy A Thriving Midtown and a Healthy meal! Touche'

I got an iced mocha with an extra shot and all I can say is that woke me up
Good coffee, and delicious sandwiches. I recommend this place for a quick lunch.
Not a long line I got to stay and finish my work I was doing and it was not to costly and it was clean
Great space and great coffee! It’s in a nice area to take a stroll with or after your coffee too
