A lovely coffee shop with a nice environment and great service. I had their mango smoothie it was delicious. The atmosphere is eclectic and upbeat, yet still cozy. They offer a variety of seating, fun music, and refreshing drinks.

Oh, I always look forward to a visit when I'm in the downtown Lee's Summit area! So excited for the new addition and new patio coming soon so we can sit outside and enjoy the fresh air! Today I got an oat milk rosemary pistachio latte, my goodness...it was heavenly! I'm not a fan of super sweet coffee drinks and this was absolutely perfect for my taste. I'm really diggin' the pistachio right now. So good!

This place is great. Amazing coffee and atmosphere. Way better than Starbucks. Wish they were everywhere, rather than Starbucks being everywhere.

Coffee was good. Cute place. Service was atrocious. Shocking actually. I ordered coffee and quiche. Everyone's order was correct, but I received a sandwich, can't remember what kind they sent. I explained I'd ordered quiche. The chef accused me of lying, then yelled at the very sweet young lady who'd taken my order after she'd admitted it was her mistake. No big deal, mistakes happen. It could have ended there. However, the chef didn't bring my food until the rest of the table finished eating and she literally slammed the cold quiche on the table and stormed off cursing under her breath. My table mates and I were shocked. I've never witnessed that kind of behavior in a place of business...ever. Sad really. Will never return.

Wonderful coffee and an equally wonderful staff! I stopped by while walking my dog today and desperately wanted a latte, so I put an order in through the app and asked in the notes for them to bring it outside to me. Not only did they do that, they wrote a sweet message on the cup! They’re my favorite coffee place in Lee’s Summit and haven’t disappointed a single time!

Their coffee is the best, period! If you love coffee, this place is a MUST VISIT! The environment is so friendly and welcoming, and the location by downtown train tracks is perfect. Drink coffee, enjoy some breakfast, chat with friends, and watch some trains.

Asked for a bagel and cream cheese. There was only 2 bagels wrapped in plastic to chose It was completely self serve. I was directed to the toaster and found no knife available without asking, no plate to put my toasted bagel. Clearly a coffee and bagel is not their expertise. I did find it clean and comfortable. Will give them another try but order something from the kitchen.

Came to town for the bookstore, will be coming back again for the coffeshop! This place is super cozy, and welcoming. I came in for a hot Chai latte and they asked me spiced or not, which is not a question I'm ever asked. I said normal which they told me it'd be spiced. I sat in a comfy corner bench as I waited and took in the atmosphere. Lots of smaller booths on the edges, lots of space in the middle for a communal gathering or study date. This place seems like the perfect date start and end, come for the coffee, walk around the cute little town, end at the coffee shop before they close. They close a little early for my nightowl blood, 6pm, but honestly had to be in the top 5 Chai Lattes I've ever had. Will be back.

Cutest little spot for breakfast or lunch! I definitely prefer lunch from here as I’m a fool for a good panini. The chicken spinach artichoke panini is to die for. I like to do the pick two with half a panini and half of a salad. The salads and dressings are really good. The price of a pick two is very reasonable! Especially compared to Panera bread, and wayyyyy better! I love the açaí green tea, everything we’ve had from here has been really good.

Had early coffee and catch up chat with a friend. Friend didn't feel outrageous and got regular coffee. I got a latte made with heavy whipping cream and a dash of sugar free hazelnut. There are booths, hightables and even larger table for a group of 5 or more. The service is warm and friendly. You can purchase bags of coffee beans, flavors and other related goodies for fellow coffee addicts:) You can also get very light breakfast food options, think muffins, croissants, sandwiches etc Quaint, characteristic place that serves delicious coffee. What more could 2 people ask for on a sunny Saturday a.m? 🌞

Fun stop in Lee's Summit! One of the BEST matcha lattes I've ever had, and the classic breakfast sandwich is delicious! Electrical outlets aren't at every table, so keep this in mind if you need to charge your devices.

Love the neighborhood atmosphere and the saucy CJ in unmatched. Coffee is so so but what I marked down for was my online orders the past two attempts have not been prepared let alone printed I’m sore even though I received an order confirmation email. I place the order at 705 with a 749 pick up and when I got there was gold they have the order but it never printed so they’d have to make it and it would take 10 min. I didn’t have 10 min. I didn’t have time to eat so I declined and they refunded. I understand it happens.but if your main website has a huge order online button you should have a system in place to where the orders are being read and filled in a timely manor

They have been out of something for a coffee every time I go in. So now when I do I pick several drinks I'd like so I have a backup if they are out of the syrup or milk. I've had a breakfast sandwich there once and it was fantastic.
