    Black dog coffee house holds a very special place in my heart because this was the first actual coffeehouse I went to in the United States. It has been the one of the most comforting and clean spaces with a calm, cozy and inviting vibe. They have served consistently good coffee and always have tasty bakery products like breads, cakes, croissants to offer, all fresh and satisfying!!! I always go for the cafe caramello coffee with oat milk and their sugar free syrups of vanilla and caramel. Also, I always love pairing it with rich flaky and golden almond croissant filled with almond compote inside for crunchy moist flavor. Apart from these options, they have a lot more drinks, food options to offer. This is a perfect for relaxing, meeting friends, or just enjoying some quiet time. The staff has always been friendly and kind and are always ready to hear your drink specifications which elevates the experience. Highly recommend this coffee house to everyone!

    12 oz Breve = Perfection

    The extension of Messenger Coffee is always the perfect decision. On a warm summer day cold winter afternoon Black Dog has the perfect coffee pick me up and season sandwich that satisfies every time! Today's beverage is a Breve. All Messenger locations make the perfect Breve. It the right roast, grind and steamed half and half. Paired with a Roast Beef and Brie sandwich was exactly what I needed today.

    Horchata Crème Brûlée 16 oz low ice. Yum maybe a tad sweet

    I wasn't sure what I'd order despite me having looked at the menu prior to arrival, but I purchased the avocado toast, (the bread is thick, but it's not dense, so it was okay, though I'd have preferred it thinner, it didn't detract from the overall flavor), and Fall Specialty Coffee, Horchata Crème Brûlée. Both were delicious! Service was excellent! We opted to sit outside since the morning temps allowed us to do so, and it wasn't too crowded when we gathered. By the time we left, the Sunday crowd began to arrive. Not too noisy outside, and of course, dogs aren't allowed inside, but there were plenty of cute "pups" outside! ;)

    I've heard rave reviews of Black Dog from friends for years, and I finally had a chance to stop in today - I can't believe I've slept on this coffee shop for so long! They have a great menu with something for everyone - coffee, espresso drinks, teas and more. I opted for a specialty drink, an iced Snickers latte, and ohmygoodness it was AMAZING. I'm hooked! Service was friendly and pretty speedy for a busy Sunday morning. They have plenty of seating indoors and out, and I took advantage of the patio to enjoy my drink. I will definitely be stopping in again soon and recommend you do, too!

    Black Dog is a great coffee house! I have been here a couple of times and both visits were great! We ordered at the counter and the team was friendly and helpful. Our drinks came out quickly and they were delicious! The beans here must be magical! My latte was smooth and flavorful! The inside is massive and there is a ton of seating options inside and out! Great service, great coffee!

    Sunrise Sandwich with Cafe Caramello Latte

    Having a very active little guy, I am always looking for places to get my caffeine fix and something to eat. We were in the area and came across BD Coffeehouse. It's probably good we don't live in the area because I would be there frequently. Their pastry and bread selections are impressive. I loved the berry crumble bar, breakfast sandwich, coffee cake and the Cafe Carmelo Latte.

    There are so many options on the menu! I got coffee and the Dr Pepper coffee with a cinnamon roll. Everything was delicious, and it was ready in no time with the quick staff. I stayed for a while with the free WiFi, so I liked how many seating options they also had. It never got too loud, but I was also never out of seating options. The space was clean and accessible. The back room was very cold.

    I generally wait after visiting a couple times to write a review and Black Dog has been consistent each time. The absolute ONLY negative about this place is how packed it gets, which is only showing how great they are, but hard when you go to work. Most of the coffee shops around only offer a couple pastry options with coffee, but not here. There are full sandwiches, toast options, salads, cakes, there is something for everyone. Today, I needed a good breakfast and ordered the Sunrise Sandwich and a Caramel Latte. The lattes are smooth and a perfect blend of bitter vs sweet. The sandwich was just what I needed, something with protein that wasn't sweet. There are tables scattered all over, some having outlets and some do not, which does make it hard when there are so many people. Overall, this is one of the best coffee shops in the KC area for food and quality of coffee.

    Vanilla sky latte
    Brittne C.

    One of my go-to spots--always solid. Today I got the country toast, biscuit sandwich with egg, and a vanilla sky latte. Everything was delicious, as usual and arrived quickly. Cozy vibe, great food, and the coffee never misses.

    Iced matcha latte
    Susie G.

    As we stepped inside, we noticed that there were options: options to sit and work/study and options to get cozied up with a nice book and drink. The staff were very friendly and patient as we decided what we wanted to order. I decided to order an iced matcha latte with oat milk and asked for a sweetener similar to French vanilla. This is a hard drink to make but they did a good job! I would've liked the matcha to be mixed a bit more and for it to be a bit sweeter. Overall, this is a great place to go and meet up with friends or study!

    Chorizo Breakfast Burrito
    Candice S.

    Wow! Convenience and quality are the two words I would use to describe Black Dog Coffeehouse. I am a huge fan of being able to order my coffee in advance, especially when it's a new place and I don't know how busy it will be. When I got there, the place is spacious and very nicely designed. The barista was helpful when I asked where online pickup was. When another employee saw me struggling to grab all of my items she showed me where the drink holders were. I decided to enjoy my burrito on site. I love breakfast burritos, but it is so hard to find them around here with my two favorite ingredients: Chorizo and potatoes. They put both in theirs! I also loved their verde salsa, though it does seem to have some sort of sauce in the burrito already. I went on a Sunday morning so it wasn't busy, I've heard it can get crowded during peak times. I would say to pick an off time to go visit it for the first time, you won't regret it!

    Burnt, bitter espresso
    Taylor V.

    I have been to Blackdog a few times before and have had positive experiences. For a coffee shop that serves Messenger coffee and Ibis baked goods they should have the same standards as Messenger. I ordered a cappuccino that should be a standard 6oz. They made it into a 8oz which is just diluting the coffee with extra milk. I could have dealt with that but the espresso was so bitter. It is clear that the barista staff is untrained and just pumping out coffee orders. This location needs to slow down and do some quality control. Will not be returning for coffee.

    Went here in the morning before I had to meet a client. The only negative that I could find was this place is BUSY!! When I arrived there was a line of about 6 people in front of me. Line wasn't super long time wise. Drinks came out fairly quickly and had great flavor. I had ordered a breakfast sandwich and it was very good, the bread was light and fluffy. I ended up getting one of the last seats at the time. The whole time I was there people were coming and going at the counter, not a lot of seat opened up. If you are looking for a place to site and chat while you drink your coffee this would be a great place. If you are looking for a place to site and work, this place is a fairly loud and extremely busy. They also have fresh bread that you can buy at the counter however I didn't buy any so I can't say what the flavors were like.

    Cool vibe inside, food okay enough to sit on the patio if sunny. Breakfast burrito and a pastry I can't spell.

    Wifey wanted to get out of the house, but I didn't wanna go driving on that day cause was kinda…read morehot. So we decided to try this gelato place down the street. There's 4 street parking stalls out front on Johnson Dr. The inside is clean & AC was nice on hot days. The girl behind the counter was nice & gave us samples of the gelato that we were curious about. Wifey selected a med cup of dark chocolate and strawberry. I got the med cup with pistachio and coconut. We watched the girl making our cups and noticed she gave more of one flavor than the other in each of our cups. I was a lil disappointed about that. It ended up being 2/3 dark chocolate and 1/3 strawberry in wifey's cup. There was 2/3 pistachio and 1/3 coconut in mine. I like even amounts if you're gonna have a cup with 2 flavors. Lil bit of one flavor mixed with the second flavor. I ended up with a bit more pistachio than I expected. Wifey definitely had more dark chocolate than strawberry. I think next time we'll ask if they can scoop closer to even amounts of each. Although the total amount of gelato was more than worth the cost. We did sit inside since outside was pretty hot and almost no breeze. The place had 3 tables. One had seating for 4 and the other 2 had seating for 2 each. When we entered one of the 2 seater tables had 2 ladies that were jus sitting there with drinks and talking and laughing really loudly. It was echoing in the small room. Other than that it was nice in that cozy lil shop. We liked how the girl behind the counter was patient and welcomed us when we told her it was our first time there. I wanna try some other combos next time. This place reminds me of the lil gelato place we liked back home in Hawaii. A Hui Hou!

    Love this gelato spot! Got the Peanut Butter Cup and it was delicious! Staff were friendly and…read morehelpful. I also love the outside seating options for a nice night.
