When we pulled up I saw that it is the same place as Garden House and I believe this may be the section below inside the Garden House coffee shop. I had went to that section on my previous visit and it has nice seating and quiet and relaxing and had food and dessert options (non that were gluten free-I asked). The woman was nice that I spoke to and the latte I had was good but I bought it upstairs where the coffee was served.

It is located in an industrial part of town so do not be surprised if you feel a little lost finding it. Once you get there, there is plenty of parking and a very cool biker atmosphere that sets it apart from typical cafes. They roast their coffee in house which is cool. 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. It gets a little noisy so bring headphones if you are coming to get work done.

I would say for $15 (minus purchases on my way out of the door) it was a great deal, I can't wait to go again! Pre tour flight was awesome getting to try more coffees and taste, see and smell the differences. The post tour brewing guide was very informative and I learned quite a bit!

This local spot is located in the little historic Lenexa downtown, which is itself somewhat hidden away now that the Lenexa Public Market is open and draws folks that way. Coming to this stretch of suburbia feels charming and quaint, and I love that there is a really fantastic local coffee shop nestled into this shopping center. Now onto what makes this place so special. There are tons of great cafes in Kansas City, but what sets Maps apart from the pack is that they roast their own beans in house and they are all super fresh. You can taste the difference in the brew and it's a nice change of pace to have something a bit different since many of the local spots in town use the same local roasters. Once you find out about Maps you'll start to notice other cafes and restaurants that use their beans. It's not as many as say, Messenger, but Maps holds their own in this arena. They also make their own chocolate! And when I say make, I mean make. They actually make the chocolate bars and not just the candies. Even more impressive, it's damn good chocolate. Honestly, if you haven't been to this spot and have a love for coffee and/or chocolate it's well worth a visit. The cherry on top for me is how unpretentious the entire place is. You'll feel welcome, and the staff working will be happy to chat your ears off about their products. 5/5 for me!

Maps... home of the best PSL ever?…read more I was in the area shopping with a friend and was in desperate need of caffeine. I just happened to stumble upon Maps and I couldn't be happier I did. I chose one of their seasonal menu items, a pumpkin spice latte, and was blown away by how good it was. The pumpkin flavor was nailed perfectly with the coffee. Service was incredible (for a fun surprise, enroll in the rewards program!), and the shop vibes are very relaxed. I'm looking forward to many future visits!

I got the Brookside Bob that was chocolate, mint and expresso. Normally when I've been here the staff is energetic and outstanding. Unfortunately today that was not the case.
