No…read morewonder that when we came in on a Monday morning, there were so many people working from the cafe. We ordered a cappuccino, a pourover, two croissants (ham and cheese and tomato basil), a chocolate chip cookie, and two loaves of bread to go (a jalapeno cheddar cheese slipper and a rosemary cornmeal loaf). We had the pastries with our coffees and saved the breads for later. The coffees were excellent; I was surprised I liked my partner's pourover since I typically don't love washed-rind coffees with "fruity" notes, but it was bright and had a strong raspberry aroma and taste without being overly sour. The croissants were disappointingly just okay. They were kind of limp and didn't have the shattering, flaky layers of the croissants I love. They probably would have been much better warmed, but sadly, there was no warming equipment. However, everything else made up for the mid croissants. The chocolate chip cookie was fantastic and had the perfect crispy edge to chewy interior ratio. We ended up eating the loaf of rosemary cornmeal bread and cheese slipper over the next week, and both were incredible. The cheese slipper is like a focaccia with more bite, covered with a beautifully charred cheese. It was difficult not to eat it all in one sitting. The rosemary bread was delicious and studded with little clusters of cornmeal inside, which made for a fun texture and pops of corn flavor. I wish I lived closer to KC, or else I'd be picking up bread and coffee from here regularly!

With a variety of flavors (both standard and unique) there is truly something for everyone. I tried an elderberry latte and enjoyed it.

The vibes inside are perfect for studying or visiting - a little dark and moody on the interior and perfect for spending a couple hours.

However, after having spent a fairly small amount of hours eating an alarming amount of BBQ (and ice cream) I just needed a place to sit and digest without eating. My local friend mentioned Thou Mayest as an opportunity to sit for a bit without having to eat. I was looking at their non-coffee options and saw they had a local kombucha on tap, perfect to help with my overstuffed belly. On top of that I did buy a bag of beans; just because I don't drink coffee meant that I didn't have people that enjoy it. More importantly, the kombucha was pretty good and it was nice to sit and relax a little in a pretty cool space. My friend and I had a large space to ourselves near the front hangout area that was like a cross between a outdoor camping space.

It is located in an industrial part of town so do not be surprised if you feel a little lost finding it.

I ordered an iced oat milk latte that was nice and enjoyable but it was a pretty standard brew. If you enjoy the aesthetic the coffee is good and there is plenty of space to hang out with friends.

I really enjoyed it I haven't had a poptart in forever for a good reason but when I took a close look at this I could tell icing was generous and applied recently, and the filling would be great. And I was right! Also the blueberry part of the danish melted in my mouth since it was warmed up - absolutely delightful! The vibes are great for crowds, dates, or even a hangout spot.

The owner, Christian, is not only incredibly professional but also a truly talented barista. You can tell he genuinely cares about the craft. His cinnamon toast latte was hands down one of the best specialty lattes I've had -- perfectly balanced, warm, and just sweet enough without being overpowering. It honestly tasted like comfort in a cup. The hot chocolate was just as impressive -- rich, smooth, and not overly sugary -- and they also offer chai tea, which was a huge hit for anyone wanting something beyond coffee. Beyond the drinks, the setup created such a fun, welcoming atmosphere in our office. It felt less like "coffee catering" and more like bringing a boutique café experience right into our space.
