Definitely one of those coffee shops that feels like a true community spot.

So the name says coffee but it's really a Cafe. They have a very diverse menu which does include…read moreregular cup of java and espresso drinks, but they offer baked goods and not just muffins. The layout includes three spaces great for working, studying or just hanging out. There's a enclosed area too. They provide board games to enjoy. It reminds me of Cracker Barrel in a way. The seating is an eclectic arrangement of couches, tables & chairs you have in you own kitchen area, benches, high top and low table seating. It's pick your mood seating! Now coming to the menu if you're new and don't elect your goto drink type, is vast and you'll want to read it carefully as its extensive and the flavor combos unique. I was in the mood for Matcha, specifically Witch's Brew Matcha. I ordered it hot... thus the lemonade was steamed! How delightfully refreshing! Now my wallet... HAPPY. This was the most reasonable cup of Matcha I've ever had! My for stay ordered was served in a coffee cup. That's part of their decor too.. coffee cups as borders around the walls. If I'm ever back in the area... I'll definitely be stopping for another visit!

There's no shortage of places to get a cup of coffee, or a coffee beverage, in JoCo. But there are…read moresome that stand out and Pour Coffeehouse might lead that pack. Pour is way out in the southwest stretches of the metro but anchors a fairly busy strip center. The space inside is homey and not enormous, but there are plenty of spots to enjoy. The house brew is strong and always fresh and their breakfast burrito game is seriously on point. The beverage menu is fairly standard, from latte through seasonal offerings, and each drink is handcrafted to your wishes. The food menu is not extensive, but what they do, they do really well. There are a couple of sandwiches on the menu and their aforementioned breakfast burritos are outstanding. Pour offers several varieties and packs alllll the freshness and flavor inside those tortillas. You could even pair one up with one of their baked goodies and you're in for a treat. Hint: try a handmade Pop-tart. Parking is super easy, pricing is pretty fair, and the service is local & friendly. Their outside seating is unexpectedly cool as the strip center isn't exactly made for a patio, but Pour placed several tables on the front sidewalk and around the side in the shade for a nice touch. It can get busy, because there's not a lot of competition and demand is high, so be sure to be cognizant of when the high school gets out. Sample & enjoy!

I had been looking forward to checking out Summer Moon Cafe, and when I finally got a chance to go…read moreit did not disappoint! The iced latte I got was delicious, and I was so glad that they had decaf espresso as an option since I can't typically have caffeine. I also love that they have baked goods that are both gluten free and vegan- as someone who is allergic to eggs, and who has family members who can't have gluten, this is a huge plus! (Note: I am unsure of their specific cross contamination risks, so be sure to ask staff for more details if needed). There were great seating options (I chose one of the couches, which was so comfy!), and the employees were all very friendly. Overall I definitely recommend this cafe and will be visiting again!

I've been looking for a coffee shop in the KC metro area and decided to give Summer Moon a try. I…read moreordered an iced vanilla latte with oat milk, and my total came out to almost $9. Yes, $9. That's on the expensive side for a latte, so I went in with pretty high expectations. Everything about the experience was quick and efficient. The line moved fast, my drink came out quickly, and I was in and out with no issues. The shop itself seemed like a great place to sit down and get some work done or catch up with a friend. Since it was such a nice day, I decided to sit outside. My first sip immediately stood out because of the texture. It was probably the smoothest coffee I've ever had; silky, creamy, and almost pillowy on the tongue. Unfortunately, that's where most of my praise ends. The coffee itself tasted fine, but nothing about the flavor stood out, especially considering the price. I ordered a vanilla latte, but I couldn't taste any vanilla at all and got virtually no sweetness from the drink. Overall, it's not bad coffee by any means, and the texture was genuinely impressive. But for nearly $9, I expected a lot more flavor. I don't regret trying it, but I wouldn't come back at that price point.

Located in the old MCM building that formerly was the home of the old Tastee Freeze, it already started out with a fun atmosphere. And the owners did a nice job of making it even more welcoming. I even enjoyed the barstool, which looked to be about 75 lbs but actually was more like 10. As my Corgi body got up, that thing shot out from underneath me like a butt mounted, spring loaded rocket and took off across the dining room. Many nice people asked if I was OK, and I assured them that I was only dealing with the pain of embarrassment. I like to think that my exploits entertain the masses :) As for the coffee, it was excellent. Much better than the overheated fare at Charbux. The pastries were fresh, tasty, and some of the best I've ever had at a coffeehouse. The young baristas that work there are very nice, which is refreshing. The owner popped in while we were there and it's obvious he's detail oriented. Expect a line, but know that it's worth it.

They use imported matcha from Hawaii and oh my goodness -- it is on another level. So incredibly smooth and creamy, with a rich, vibrant flavor that you just can't get from your average matcha. If you're a matcha lover, this alone is worth the trip! And the pop tart pastries? Absolutely divine. They are SO good -- flaky, flavorful, and the kind of treat that has you thinking about them long after you've left. Seriously addictive in the best possible way. Dolce Cafe clearly puts love and quality into everything they make, from sourcing exceptional ingredients to crafting pastries that feel truly special. It's the kind of café that sets itself apart and keeps you coming back for more. Highly, highly recommend. Go for the matcha, stay for the pop tarts -- you won't regret it!

‍ SHOP LOCAL, OLATHE!…read more Four years ago, Michael took two things he genuinely loved--comics and coffee--and turned them into something special for our community: Comic Coffeehouse What started as a passion project has grown into a one-of-a-kind gathering place filled with creativity, conversation, caffeine, and community. Whether you stop in for a latte, to browse comics, meet up with friends, or just enjoy the vibe, it's clear this place was built with heart. Small businesses are the backbone of our community. They bring character, connection, and local flavor to Olathe, and every time we choose to shop local, we help support someone's dream. Also, it was really cool to see that they support our local Olathe Public Schools by participating in the Adopt-a-School Program...looks like they've adopted Sunnyside Elementary. I know Heather Devocelle Schoonover was thrilled about this! Congratulations to Michael on FOUR years of serving Olathe with passion, creativity, and great coffee! Here's to many more years of comics, community, and caffeinated adventures ahead! #ShopLocal #Olathe #SupportSmallBusiness #ComicCoffeehouse #CommunityMatters City of Olathe, KS
