Delicious cup of coffee and an equally good latte for my crack-of-dawn Amtrak stop! What a nice surprise!
They have forgotten my order several times and left me with warm coffee will not spend my money here anymore
Let's start with the coffee - that was very nice. The pastries not so nice, it was dry, lacked taste and overpriced, served with a complimentary side of zero personality from the staff. However what wins the extra star is the atmosphere of having a nice coffee relaxing inside the grand hall of this magnificent building. It is a prime location for sure, some seating with tables just outside the store front in a roped off section which is excellent. Unfortunately garbage was not cleaned from tables. Some seating around the side of the store front as well, should the front be full. Worth stopping for a coffee, however I would not recommend anything else.
As of this posting, store not open yet. What's the point of posting that the store is open at 7:00 a.m. when it's not. Ended up not getting anything.
Not only was the coffee amazing, but the wonderful people that work at this place helped me and the little girl I care for when no one else would. They gave us a bag of ice and actually cared that her head was hurt. Just amazing customer service but also just amazing people in general.
Grabbed an iced macchiato, great little place. In the must see KC Union Station!
Very much impressed with their coffee. As a tourist who had visited the world war memorial museum and the union station opposite to it, this is a very good place to grab a cup of coffee. Glad they are not using too much of sugar. A little overpriced, but their coffee is great.
Me and my three children had been in science city all day. We came out and went in and bought 4 bottled cokes. We went outside to the seating area to sit for just a moment and we were promptly asked to leave the area because they were closing the seating area. However many other patrons remained in the area and no sooner did we leave another couple sat down exactly where my children and I had sat and were not asked to leave. Why were me and my 3 (mind you not loud or unruly children) asked to leave and no one else was? I find this discriminatory behavior extremely uncalled for.
I don’t know how they have so many great reviews. The staff lacked personality and the coffee was so bad. I had to ask where a lid and sleeve were and the girl lazily waved her hand and mumbled just enough in the direction of where they were. The iced latte was basically milk and vanilla flavoring. She may have even forgotten to put the espresso in since it was so overpowered with flavored milk. I ordered 2 different hot lattes and none of could tell which was which because they were both quite bitter. I paid $16 plus tip to just throw all three full lattes in the trash and mediocre (at best) service. I love to support and try local business but I will definitely be passing on this place for now on. Thankfully Starbucks is in Crown Center close by I can get my coffee fix when visiting Union Station. 0/10, absolutely do not recommend.
Coffee so good, make you want to slap down a Starbucks to the ground.
Love the location and there is limited add ons for coffee like coco power. It great that they are in union station and absolute need in the space. It's great to enjoy a coffee in union station. Service could improve.
Just walked in to lovely decorated Union Station to purchase coffee for gift baskets for my family. None of the whole bean coffees had prices on them at Parisi. I had to ask for assistance, in order to get some attention as two of the three baristas were engrossed in their cell phones and one was serving a customer. Then when I asked for price information, the pregnant gal obviously bothered by my inquiry replied with a price range. I asked which labels were the $15 coffees? I guess I continued to bother her as she had to look up prices on computer. It took a little back and forth as no one came from behind the counter to assist me. I picked out my coffees $50/ worth with tax, and before I was rung up I asked if they could be ground. The gal who rung me up was a bit more personable. After I paid for my coffee, the cashier just placed the three coffee bags in front of me on the counter. I looked at her and then she asked the others that were mesmerized by their phones if she should grind the bags of coffee or should they? The one who was bothered by my price inquiry, said she would do it. She ground the three bags and then placed them in front of me on the counter. Not even a thank you, no eye contact or anything. I walk with a cane even without a cane, I would think someone would ask if you need a bag when you purchase three bags of coffee. It’s not like you can put them in your pockets. I asked if I could have a bag. Once again she appeared bothered and she walked into the storage room. She came out and said, “We don’t have any.” So I asked another associate who had just come out of the back with a cart full of sodas if they had any bags. She replied, “We should have some brown bags.” She then asked the other baristas if they had bags and the pregnant woman replied, “ No.” If you want holiday spirit to go with the elaborate decorations at Union station, you might wish to bring your coffee from elsewhere. The only reason I went there was to support a local
There was a young lady making coffee today with a young man. This young women was so very rude. She was obviously having a bad day. There should be no place for that kind of an attitude when we choose to use our money for coffee here. People could choose any other place. First time there and won’t go back.
A very relaxed and sheik atmosphere complimented by some of the best coffee I've ever had. To top it off, the staff were friendly and patient. I'll definitely be returning if I come tour through KC again.
Stopped in because it was on my way to a church conference. Extremely good drip coffee. Some savory breakfast sandwiches would've been nice (only sweet pastries) but it's possible it was low because I visited on a Sunday.
Decent latte and great service.
Went to this place at 4:59 pm to purchase a soda, and they said sorry we’re closed. Lady was rude, and didn’t want to make a quick sale.
Sunday hours say 7 am open on July 3rd but with 3 people behind the counter I quess not open. 1 star is for the employee who walked out to awaiting customers grabbed the signage. Did not say a word to anyone picked up the sign and walked back in. All you have to do is say we aren't opening due to (insert any reason)!
Staff was friendly, coffee was really good. There is a good selection of flavors to choose from although I wish they had unique/curated flavor blends.
I don't like mochas but the new one is really good the chocolate milk really made it good
