What a pleasant experience to enjoy their fine drinks in such a pleasant surroundings! Delightful baristas. Frequent them.

Front Range Coffeehouse is such a gem in KC, especially if you're someone who appreciates a thoughtful zero-proof menu. I stopped in and was immediately impressed by how warm, cozy, and inviting the space feels. It's the kind of place where you instantly want to settle in with a drink and stay awhile. I tried two of their NA cocktails and both were genuinely great: * Beekeeper (NA gin) -- bright, fresh, citrusy, and earthy. Light and refreshing without a strong spirit like bite. It honestly tasted like the perfect drink for a summer afternoon. (7.5/10) * Bear Hug (NA whiskey) -- sweet, smooth, and balanced. Not overly "whiskey tasting," but definitely gives mocktail vibes. The honey and cherries add the best natural sweetness. (8.5/10) On top of the NA drinks, they offer really solid specialty lattes and the classic pastries/food items you expect from a good coffee shop. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was relaxed, and it's a great spot to go solo or with friends. If you're sober, sober curious, or just want a cozy KC coffee shop with more creative drink options, Front Range is absolutely worth a visit.

Super delicious! I tried one of the Girl Scout Cookie flavors offered around this time (KC Caramel Delight) and my husband ordered the 14ER and we both loved it. They were also very quick to get our drinks out which was appreciated! It's pretty tiny inside so if it's not nice weather, there's not much room to be able to wait for your drinks. We are ready to go back, however, and try more seasonal drinks as they come out! read more

Front Range - Fairway - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fairway, Kansas

I was in the Missouri side of Kansas City for a couple of days for a conference and wanted something that wasn't from a chain, whether it's coffee, books or whatever. I drove out to Fairway and stumbled upon Front Range. It's a relatively small coffee shop, which lends to a cozy feel and unrushed, stellar service from the baristas. I had an iced Ranger maple latte, which was sweet and delicious. Never had a maple latte outside of autumn, which is probably artificially flavored if I went somewhere else. Wish I had the option of more mom and pop coffee shops like this back home! I loved the latte enough that I bought four gift cards to share with the staff at the bookstore next door. read more

If you're a mountain loving, adventure seeking Kansas Citian, then look no further. I was absolutely entranced the first time I came in, and after searching all over the city I had finally found my favorite shop. This place is open late for those who need the study spot, super friendly staff, and have some of the best coffee is KC. It's the perfect cozy spot for reading, working, or chatting. can't recommend it enough!!! read more

Love the cozy vibe! But the inside is a bit small. Hard to come in and out when there are people waiting in line. They have grab n go section for people who don't want coffee or alcohol. Great selections! I wanted something different, and the barista was able to accommodate it. I got matcha latte with oat milk and 3 pumps of lavender. It was tasty!! read more

This is an excellent spot for a Saturday morning coffee (or any morning for that matter) and a bite to eat. I stopped in on my way to Rainy Day Books down the block and had a Breve (my go-to coffee) and a True Burrito. The Breve was rich and delicious at the right temperature, and the burrito was tasty but a tad small for my liking. This place is very quaint and can be very crowded during busy times, but the service was pretty fast and the staff were very friendly. read more

Stopped in to knock out some computer work while in between clients. There was a few seats left open when I arrived. This is a smaller coffee shop that does not have a bunch of seating and I can see how it would fill up quickly. Not sure what time it is available but there is a full bar as well. There are a bunch of board games near the bathroom if you want to play something to pass the time. My coffee was good. I also ordered a Bacon, egg and cheese biscuit sandwich which was a good size and had good flavors. read more

Front Range - Fairway - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fairway, Kansas

First off, this little coffee shop is so cute. Just the right amount of seating to have coffee and a meal with a friend or get some work done if you enjoy the "working in a coffee shop" vibes. The person who took our order was extremely patient with my friend and I as we were first timers at this spot! I ordered an iced latte with maple flavoring and oatmilk and boy was I satisfied! It had the perfect amount of maple sweetness, while still being able to taste the rich coffee flavor. It also had the perfect amount of oatmilk to coffee ratio where it wasn't pale as paper, but also lightened up the flavor. I can't wait to try more! read more

I have spent many an hour in this Front Range. They are such a great, malleable establishment. You can go there to study in the morning, have breakfast (pre-made burritos, sandwiches and pastries) and a coffee/tea and come back in the evening for a cocktail with friends! Their espresso martini (low cream) is amazing and they also make a killer matcha latte. It's very small in there and quaint but truly feels like a ski village coffee shop. Incredibly cozy and an easy place to want to hole up for the day! read more

Love the cozy vibes here--not a ton of seating but the patio helps. The specialty coffee flavors are always fun and creative, and the cocktails are solid, too. read more

The coffee is okay, but it's basically Made in KC shop under the original coffee shop name. You make a purchase and it states Made in KC. If you go to any made in KC- you'll find that the brew depends on the barrista who made it. The issue here is that the parking is horrible, just to walk in and find their five tables taken. The inside is basically very crowded, and can get noisy. read more

Front Range is a unique spot, on many levels. The ambience alone is so different than any other spot in KC. It's located within a quaint strip of storefronts and has a rustic feel inside. There's also outdoor seating. The menu includes both coffee drinks as well as cocktails. I love coming here during the day for coffee, but it's also such a chill spot to stop for cocktails before headed to dinner. Front Range is truly a hidden gem! read more

Visited Front Range for the first time today. The ambiance is quite charming, as it feels like you're entering a rustic lodge in the mountains. The baristas were friendly and chill. Seating is pretty limited because the space is smaller. However, if you do find seating, it is a great place to study (outlets available) or catch up with a friend. There is a bar area for those who want to enjoy a cocktail and some outdoor seating. The baristas were friendly and chill. I tried their lavender honey latte and iced matcha with vanilla syrup. Prices are higher here as our 12 oz. drinks were $7.50 before tip. However, I would say the drinks were enjoyable and flavors were good. They don't overly sweeten the drinks, which I liked. I especially love that they have later hours, which is a rare find since most coffee shops tend to close earlier. Happy hour is 2-5 pm Monday-Thursday on signature drinks. They also have a collection of board games, which I thought was fun! read more

My favorite coffee shop, hands down. Drinks are always wonderful, the people working are always so kind and pastries are fantastic. The ambiance is so cozy and I always enjoy myself when I'm there read more

Front Range brings good coffee and campfire vibes to the Fairway shops, aka my ol' stompin' grounds since I grew up right down the street. Overall, it's become a fun place to take my six year old to play games and drink some delicious coffee. It's going for a "National Parks" lodge vibe with wood planked ceiling, similar signage, and campfire mugs galore. It's a fun twist for a coffee shop as so many have trended cold and industrial of late. Also on trend is eyebrow raising prices for coffee, from specialty lattes to simple drip, and this place is high like the rest of them around town. I've been a handful of times, and the service, while never over the top, is fine and is what it is. I haven't been enough to get to know the baristas, and it's a two way street! But back to our reason for coming here -- my daughter loves the games; Guess Who, Uno, Sorry, etc. that they have set up here. It makes for a fun daddy-daughter date and she usually picks out a pop tart or something sweet from the pastry case. Glad to have a spot that's a bit unique, and really just to have a place to get out and explore together. read more

I didn't even know this lovely place was here until I went to Rainy Day Books. I walked down the street and found this gem. It was cool and quiet and would be a great place for conversation, working, and just relaxing. The Provisions were from Parisi and since it was after the lunch rush, I did snag a yummy Chicken Ceaser Salad. I got the house blend coffee to go. Very flavorful. There is something about a cup of coffee from a small coffee shop that just touches your soul because you know the beans are fresh, the beans haven't been sitting for ages, and it just tastes like coffee. Coffee where you can distinguish flavor notes. I will be back. read more

I really liked the vibe for Front Range; a small and cozy coffee house with a rustic western Americana park lodge decor - stuffed buffalo head, wooden plank vaulted ceilings, faux national park signs.... With its location along Shawnee Mission Dr in the tony neighborhood shops of Fairway nestled between Hen House Market and Rainy Day Books; only adds to the allure. The other pleasant positive was the barista that was quite friendly and welcoming. Serving drinks using beans from Marcell Roasters, my seasonal menu selection of a Coconut cold foam cold brew was a perfect option for a humid Kansas City Sunday afternoon, although at $7 for 20oz, I certainly felt that I was paying for the premium JOCO rent. A cold case up front offers canned and bottled beverages and premade sandwiches for a to-go option and pastries from Scratch bakery are also available, as is a full alcohol menu. A charming stop that i will always consider when driving through the "Fairway National Forest". read more

I came here one morning when I was off work and brought my dog. The parking was minimal, but there is another shopping area where you can use their lot to park your car or get lucky and park in front of the shop. The interior is very welcoming and rustic, and I love how it feels inside if you get a chance to grab a coffee and stay and enjoy the ambiance. It feels like you are in a national park cabin--something like that. The sitting inside is very limited, but it is a lovely shop to check out if you are in the area. I highly recommend checking this spot out! While I was here, I ordered my iced caramel latte to go. This place also serves cocktails, wine, and beers. read more

They are playing heavy metal loudly in a quaint coffee shop that looks like a ski lodge. It just boggles my mind that this is an atmosphere that anyone would consciously create. We surely aren't coming here for the coffee. It's overpriced and quite mediocre. The one thing going for it is the atmosphere. read more

What a cute place to fill both your coffee and cocktail needs. We came here later on a Saturday evening and it was pretty much just us and the bartenders/baristas, which was awesome. Ambiance is perfect-think cozy Northern lake lodge vibes. They have nice selection of seasonal cocktails as well as coffee drinks. Recommend sitting at the bar for the best experience. They also have board games you can play with so is fun for a little date night or just casual evening out. 5/5 recommend! Such a cute place with many offerings! Staff were awesome as well. read more

I loved the whole vibe of this coffee shop! Plus they're open late enough that night shift nurses can get a coffee before work which I LOVE! read more

It's been a while since I've been to Front Range in Fairway, but I was completely impressed when I first went. I didn't know that they served coffee and cocktails at first, but I was pleasantly surprised they did. The coffee was tasty, and I would go there again. I loved the national park theme inside. I love exploring new parks, so this was a great theme. I felt like I was in Colorado and not Kansas. Any day like that is a good day, haha. read more

I tried this coffee shop out for the first time. I really liked the pretty outdoor seating with the large flower pots and the bear seating bench. I was immediately greeted by the welcoming barista who told me about the shop and also that it serves cocktails and the hours they were open. They were very helpful and I appreciated the good service. I do believe that baristas can make or break a coffee shop. I had their iced oat milk latte with vanilla and pistachio syrup. The coffee was good, but I didn't care for the pistachio syrup as much but that was just my personal preference and my first time trying that particular flavor at any coffee shop. The ambience was relaxed and friendly. They also had some baked goods that looked yummy. I like the fact that they have late hours considering that a lot of coffee shops close at two or four. They also have a happy hour, I'm not sure if that is just for the cocktails or whether that includes any other drinks. I will definitely be going back and would recommend. read more

I was excited to experience the mountain themed coffee place. First thing, I noticed was that the menu includes no prices or sizes which indicates you'll likely be paying a higher price. A 12 oz. latte with one flavor will run you about $7.50-$8 before tip. Nothing special about the latte. It was good and so was the breakfast sandwich my friend ordered. Very popular joint with a steady stream of traffic on Saturday morning. Minimal and tight seating inside but there's patio seating outside. Enjoy the vibe and stroll the shops nearby. read more

Such a cute and comfortable spot, perfect for working. There are plenty of outlets at the booths, which is so convenient. The strawberry matcha is deliciously sweet without being too bitter. However, the cereal latte didn't quite taste like cereal, hence why I'm deducting one star. Nevertheless, the staff are incredibly sweet and patient, taking the time to explain each drink on the menu. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Really enjoyed the vibe here. Very friendly, very relaxed. It feels as though I stepped out of the Midwest heat and into a coffee shop that was hand plucked from a mountain town. The bacon, egg and cheese biscuit was delicious, served hot with gooey, melted cheese. The ice vanilla latte came in a large pint glass, with the company logo right on the side. My wife got a blended Mountainccino and it was awesome. Just enough sweet but not overwhelming like other coffee blended drinks. Picked up a tobacco scented candle and some stickers on our way out. Overall a great place for a coffee and a quick bite, a staycation that transports you right into Rocky Mountain National Park. read more

Had a networking meeting here, was my first time. I definitely love the moody vibe, but extremely difficult to find a place to sit. We had to stand at the bar awkwardly, all up in the way, for a while before a tiny booth opened up. So you might have to plan on alternate arrangements if meeting someone here. Pastries looked good, my friend had one. My black coffee was quite good, they use great roasters. I really love the coffee/bar concept, so everyone's drink can be accommodated. Good selection of wines. Would come back. I would love to work here for the day, but would feel guilty for taking up space with so few seats available. read more

Another great local coffee shop! The atmosphere inside Front Range is so cozy. It makes you just want to curl up in the corner and sip on a coffee or cocktail. Prices are fair, staff was efficient, and the coffee was very good as well. I would also highly recommend trying the waffle, egg, and bacon breakfast sandwich... it sounds wild but it is so good! I'd love to come back in the evening and have a cocktail and relax at Front Range. Such an inviting space they've created! read more

I always get a drip coffee every coffee shop I go to so I can compare the quality of coffee. I do not add sugar, just a splash of whole milk. I don't know who you roaster is but it's nasty. It tastes burnt like Starbucks. Cool atmosphere but as far as coffee goes. Not great at all. read more

Another great coffee shop in KC and a much needed addition to the Fairway area. We ventured in on a rainy Sunday morning so that made the whole "lodge" vibe even more prevalent. There are typically two people working on Sunday mornings however there was only one this morning but he cranked out orders with a smile and expertly. Not to mention he brought us our drinks when he made them rather than calling out the drink names. Most of the tables here are two person tables with two larger tables at the back. There are bar seats as well as this is also a bar in the evenings. There are window seats at the front but I feel more for waiting for your drink to be made. They serve Heirloom Bakery pastries (muffins, scones, pop tarts, donuts and croissants) as well as Fletcher's sandwiches that you can order at breakfast, huge bonus for my husband with zero sweet tooth. Their coffee is Post Coffee out of Lee's Summit. So nice to have that. It is strong and smooth. The only milk alternative they offer is oat milk but to me that is sort of a great middle for soy and almond. My cafe au lait was hot and smooth to the end. My husband's cold brew was one of the best in KC. They will be expanding their food menu in October. I will give one warning, this is a lodge feel therefore they have the stuffed animal heads on the wall. This did not go well with our toddler, she was petrified so we sat underneath them so she couldn't see them. Our oldest is a vegetarian so would not bode well with her either. HOWEVER, I feel that it adds to the ambiance and if this isn't your thing just don't go or get it as carry out. read more

This place is so charming. It's a welcome mountain cabin vibe that brings sweet relief in this humid and hot summer. So happy to have a great coffee shop within walking distance in our neighborhood! My childhood hometown is home of Smokey Bear (we have a museum and his grave) so I was feeling all the nostalgia with the mountain cabin l/National Forest decorations and vibes. We ordered a iced coffee and the Apple Jacks cereal milk latte and both were great. We had to get a chocolate sprinkled doughnut for the baby and she loved it. There was a good selection of pastries on the Sunday morning when we went. The pop tarts are from Heirloom and the doughnuts are from Donutology. I noticed they also have sandwiches Fletchers on Farm to Market bread which is always a good idea. Can't wait to come back for a cocktail or beer soon! read more

This place is a near 10 out of 10 if you were scoring any and all categories. Coffee 10/10, atmosphere 10/10, friendly service 10/10, breakfast foods 9.5/10. Such a cool place, certainly NOT your regular coffee shop vibe where the servers wonder why you showed up to bother them. Doesn't get much better than this. And they serve at the bar happy hour 4 to 7. read more
