quintessential café experience and great cortado! ...Good music too. Can't wait to come back and chill for a bit longer. Thanks!
Consistently some of the best coffee in the city, both espresso and drip. Owners are super friendly and will nerd out about coffee as much as you want.
Small coffee shop right by the courthouse. Good for a break on jury duty days. Good coffee, good natured, good pastries (fresh pop tarts anyone?) What more could you ask for?
Coolest owner and most well sourced coffees in the city.
Fantastic customer service! Personal touch. Local owners! Special flavors are great. My personal fave is the honey lavender latte with almond milk. It's just perfect.
I should've bought another pastry cause that muffin was delicious! Just the thing you need to start the day. Will have to try coffee and others since it's on the bus route.
Their Spring flavour honey lavender is exactly what my soul wanted today. The brew is perfect!
Great coffee, friendly environment, really cool space.
Great coffee and fun pastry options too. It's nice when the coffee is the star.
The coffee is top- notch and the baristas are down-to-earth, great guys! Really enjoyed my visit!
Great coffee, great food. Friendly staff
Great espresso and fast, friendly service in a bright, open spot downtown with plenty of seating. There were a few pastries in the counter too that looked really yummy
This is a pretty new coffeeshop that we go to occasionally only because it's a 30+ minute drive for us. There are only a select few coffeeshops worthy of the drive. The Coffee is very good and the service and friendliness are even better. Tried a scone today made by Scratch bakery and they never disappoint. This shop is definitely on our go to list!
Wanted to try this place since they're new; have had two chances to do so after this morning. The cappuccino is excellent; if you've ordered one from Intelligentsia in Chicago, the taste and texture will seem familiar. Easily the best one I've found in KC. Interior design is either minimalist or still taking shape - hard to say with a new place, but curious where that goes. Will be back to find out.
Waterbird coffee encompasses a wide range of important parts of the coffee culture. I have been in and around the coffee community throughout Kansas City for years. The owners truly have a strong sense of discipline towards great coffee while holding a humble attitude and are driving their own personality and signature to how they do it. It’s nice to see a coffee shop that knows the ropes of what the demographic of people are looking for out of coffee and at the same time maintaining a strong diligence on how to serve our community. Down to earth, easy to talk to talk to, and wonderful coffee I am looking forward to seeing how their driving sense of passion and love to serve others in the community develops over the years. If you are from Kansas City or dropping in from out of town; this coffee shop holds a strong integrity to provide anyone and everyone that walks through the doors to have an experience worth remembering. Let their espresso do the talking and enjoy the faces behind this coffee, because it truly is one of a kind, from the environment to the last drop of espresso, this shop has its heart and coffee in the right place. Worth a visit.
We tried out waterbirds this morning; Coffee was excellent, and Chi latte had a good cinnamon taste! We tried out a few things - all the poptarts- wild berry, blueberry, cinnamon, and also a blueberry scone. Unfortunately, they didn't have a way to warm up the items, so that was a little downside. Floor needs work instead of just paint over!
I got a cold brew and my husband got a peppermint mocha. Both were delicious!! Kind, quick service. Worth checking out if you're looking for a new spot!
Awesome place, yummy drinks and pastries, good music, and friendly barista🖤
Good service and great coffee!!
Great local coffee shop with great pastries! It is a gem downtown.
