The best coffee in Topeka. The staff are always friendly and I have never had a bad coffee from them. they use a little bit lighter of a roast that is sometimes elusive depending on what flavors you add to your drink but I still am quite fond of their menu. The baked goods are out of this world and they have some really cool options for gluten free, dairy free, vegan pastries. The croissant is to die for. Only down side is that their store location is a little odd. read more

Strategically positioned between the beautiful Washburn University and younglife, this is a local "neighborhood cafe serving fine folks" with some of the most refined pastries I've tasted along my travels. In homage to the Girl Scout cookie - a Samoa Cronut that has all the buttery layers of a croissant with the springy chewiness of a donut, coated in tiny flecks of coconut adhered with delicate fresh-made caramel and a chocolate drizzle. It's divine! Also extraordinary: a classic cinnamon roll covered in a generous layer of buttery cream cheese frosting, every bit as satisfying as homemade, without the hassle. For here or there, a Brown Butter Cookie with chocolate chips the consistency of s'more's and a healthy sprinkle of sea salt that's crunchy and surprising in the best way. The space is minimal without feeling cold, with indoor workspace opening to a large landscaped patio. Don't forget the coffee - full circle, it's very good here. read more

Circle Coffee - Family style! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Topeka, Kansas

Now I understand the hype. I knew I was getting close when parking in the surrounding neighborhood was getting congested. **It's worth searching for a parking spot.** The strawberry goat cheese pastry was PHENOMENAL. I CANNOT BRAG ON THIS ENOUGH! There is a touch of balsamic that brightens the strawberry. The sprig of thyme is beautiful as well as tasty. I thought this might be a sweet pastry, but it's actually savory, in the very best way. The pastry is so flaky and crisp. My dreams will be full of this for years to come. Now let me get to the latte. It was SO RICH AND SMOOTH!!!! I got a sugar-free-vanilla latte--expecting nothing special. It was the best cup of joe I've had in a long time! I love to drink the foam so I removed the lid and was surprised to see the adorable art. This place is TASTY! If I'm ever back in Topeka, I can't wait to come back. read more

Enjoyed a salted caramel iced latte and perhaps the largest most decadent croissant I have ever seen. Service was friendly and efficient, the space was well-lit and not too loud, and the menu was simple and easy to navigate. Near Washburn. read more

Wonderful coffee drinks and lots of 'non-coffee' options too! Genuine baristas at wotk here! The people are so nice & it's a relaxed vibe. Outdoor seating & indoor - I just loved it! They served the BEST croissant we have ever had (and I have tried them in Europe, on cruises, east & west coast) but... I am dreaming about going back for more! Kolache was also really flavorful, moist & yummy!! read more

This cute, modern coffee shop was a short walk from where we were staying while visiting family. The staff is friendly, and the coffee is excellent. They also have a nice selection of snacks and baked goods, including several that are gluten-free and/or dairy free. A great find that we'll frequent again the next time we're in town. read more

Always the best baked goodies and coffee. What makes this place my weekly stop is the staff. Very friendly and welcoming. read more

Since my first review over a year ago, all this place has done is blow up into BY FAR Topeka's number 1 spot for artisanal pastries, snacks and coffee. The vibe is relaxed and local and I couldn't be happier for the owners and how well they are doing. I hear they do a mean breakfast strata on Saturdays that you better arrive early for as they sell out quickly! read more

The food is amazing...get there early and get in line for pastries, protein balls and nab a cinnamon roll (cannot stress how talented the pastry chef is!) THe vibe for Thursday Club is best for smash burgers and drinks! The patio is open (weather dependent)! They recently started take out for those who call ahead! Close to Washburn University! Music, lighting and people working there make this a gem for Topeka! read more

Excellent service with a smile. Delicious coffee warming the soul on a chilly day with a pleasant calming atmosphere. Looking forward to trying more varieties and pastries read more

Great coffee and daily in-house fresh baked pastries. Yum. Definitely recommend. Get the cinnamon roll.

Where to begin? The coffee is outstanding: high quality and lovingly curated. The pastries are incredible and made on site. Event the gluten free items tasted better than anything I've ever had). Most importantly, it's the people who work there. The service is great, but there is a heart among the employees that you can't get by accident or by some extra training. They just care and like being there: it's easy to tell. And that means the patrons are relaxed and the vibe is outstanding. Don't tell all of your friends, just the ones you really like so that this place remains the best neighborhood coffee shop in Kansas. read more

Their latte with their signature housemade syrups is a must-try. They have a great selection of pastries, with the majority being gluten-free and vegan/dairy-free. The chai is also delicious. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. read more

Didn't care for the chai tea so I probably won't go again because that's my usual order. I'm sure other drinks are good and they seem to be doing a good business. read more

Passing through Topeka with a group of coworkers, and this one looked good and had good reviews. It delivered for sure! Super nice staff, great ambiance, and very high quality coffee drinks. I even appreciated the attention to detail on the latte art, which I normally don't care about. Because we were on our way out of town, they gave us a few extra pastries and we were all obsessing about how good they are in the van. Highly recommend! read more

I got a vanilla almond milk latte and it's smooth and has a great taste. Lost a star because they are expensive! I go to Starbucks daily and this was about .50 more & smaller than my drink there which was surprising. I'll be back for sure for the taste & atmosphere just not daily. read more

Circle Coffee - Large vanilla latte w/ almond milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Topeka, Kansas

WOW!!! We were staying in Topeka for a few days and I really wish I lived here just to visit this coffee company. Not only do they have fabulous coffee, but a full-on bakery in the back churning out delicious treats, with tons of gluten free and vegan options! I had the GLUTEN FREE mochi apple donut and I don't even have words. It had the chewiness of mochi (glutenous rice flour) on the inside, with that deep dark delicious FRIED *cronch* on the outside, and bits of apple throughout. It was almost too much. Almost. We also got some GF protein bites. I got a plain oat milk latte because I knew I was in for some sugar overload with the donut and that was delicious too. Great coffee although I'm not very picky with coffee as long as it tastes like ... coffee. I hope to take a road trip soon so I can stop back in at Circle Coffee Co! read more

Circle Coffee - Best coffee in Topeka, hands down. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Topeka, Kansas

Great new coffee shop. I really enjoyed the coffee cart, and glad to see it translated into a full scale operation. I went on the first Saturday they opened, so it was a little hectic in there. The mochi donut is delicious, almost like a funnel cake. Hard to believe it is GF, DF, and vegan! I reluctantly got it because it was the only thing they had left, and ultimately really enjoyed it. The inside space was nice, although the table I was at had water dripping on it from a HVAC run above the table. read more

Best coffee and atmosphere in Topeka. We are from out of town visiting family in the area, and always have trouble finding a good cup of coffee. We will remember Circle and make it a regular stop on future trips! read more

I love this local coffee cart, and now they are opening their brick & mortar store in the spring. So I am thrilled about that. It's been fun seeing them at the farmers market over the summer & stopping by when they are outside Dairy Queen. Topeka is so ready to have access to their delicious coffee and treats any time now!! read more

Circle Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Topeka, Kansas

Circle coffee is a spectacular addition to Topeka. Their style and aesthetic is stylish and hip. An open air garage door opens up on a huge seating area. Their coffee is high quality, and presented very well. Their bakery is on point; everything looks amazing, but so far the mochi donut is the only thing I have had. The donut is gluten free, dairy free, and will change your life. Come check this place out, if you're disappointed, coffee might just not be your thing. For coffee people, this is Valhalla. read more

Circle Coffee - Outdoor seating area, an Honduran pour over, an Americano to go, and an iced latte. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Topeka, Kansas

Hand made drinks and pastries, nothin' from a can or a big box here. Even if you don't like coffee, go, sit on the patio, grab a sweet bite to eat, and enjoy a true neighborhood joint, set in quite College Hill. Ride your bike, they have bike racks! I grew up two blocks from this building and there were small businesses all over the area back then so I'm lovin' the resurgence of truly local places filling this rare neighborhood centric spot. read more

Former laundromat turned groovy and delicious coffee shop. We went for the perfectly brewed coffee but will keep going back for the amazing pastries. The Honey Chai Bun is incredibly light with a pillowy crumb texture and the perfect balance of spicy cinnamon and sugar. The Sausage Cheddar Rosemary Bun has a rich savory sausage blend wrapped in a flaky croissant like blanket, adorned with rosemary - divine! The iced chai latte is rich, spicy and refreshing. A must visit if you're passing through Topeka. Lucky locals! read more

The atmosphere is very nice not your typical topeka coffeehouse, feels like i'm on vacation. The mocha latte is very straight forward and to the point. I like coffee with more of a deeper flavor. The chai tea was good but something was missing in the mix. Pretty sure it's a home mix but was still vv good. Service is vv fast and to the point, extremely efficient. Even if the line is to the door and close to out of the building they get it done fast and effective. The Honey Chai Bun is more like a sugar bun which i still 100% recommended it, it's vv good and flaky and good. The Lemon Berry Muffin was divine, very soft and cakes muffin. There doesn't seem to be any handicapped parking but all of the parking is vv close to the building so I imagine that's why. They have outdoor seating that is mostly shaded and tables that are clean. You bus your own table so it's up to you to keep it clean. They allow dogs on the outside patio as long as they're leashed and behaved. read more
