Cute little hole in the wall coffee shop that you'd miss driving down Main street in Grandview. I needed to be in the area, and decided to see if any new coffee shops had popped up, and here you go.
It gives the vibe that you may have stumbled into Southwest blvd. area. It has very much the urban store front feel from that area. I noticed that as I walked in with two doors going opposite direction, a bit quirky for the suburbs but Grandview isn't all suburbs any more either. It's halfway between. That being said, this place is a nice break coffee shop from those that invite nanny-granny conversations and the super-stuffed wannabe types who go to coffee shops with the laptops and act as if it's their personal office space. You know who you are! and this is the coffee shop I wouldn't picture them dropping into. The music isn't too loud and tolerable, if you need to play something to listen to on your device. The music they first played was modern alternative, which was cool, but as I began my review it switched to that Mexican wailing with accordion. It's funny, when in Mexico, the coffee shops will play American alternative, or no music at all.
The barista was a sweet gal who made the best Mexican chocolate mocha, so I know where to come and get a good mocha now. I would have ordered a pastry, but there weren't many here, but 3 to choose from, and I didn't see one I wanted to try. I imagined by mention of "Pan de dulce" that I would have enjoyed good Mexican pastries, but oh well, will have to go back to Mexico for that. read more
