How have I not yet reviewed Crow's Coffee? It feels criminal to have been Yelping so long and have…read moreoverlooked this wonderful local spot! At any rate, where to start? I remember back in 2011 when I worked at the Nelson we were absolutely starved for a great local coffee house to open up nearby. We had Latte Land on the plaza but parking over there was always nuts and to just pop in and grab a coffee we'd often end up over at KCAI. When Crow's opened while I was away in graduate school I remember my former colleagues gushing about it - saying it had finally happened and a good shop had opened. They weren't wrong. Here we are, probably 10 years (ish) since they first opened their doors and they are still serving the need for fantastic local coffee in this part of KC. On my most recent visit I popped in for a coffee to take with me to a meet at UMKC and I was reminded at how great this spot is. While there are many more great coffee options nearby these days you can't fail to remember Crows and I look forward to my next visit!

The seating is all wooden & cushion chairs and stools. It's a very locally centric shop - selling local juices and coffee.

You have the opportunity to take a coffee or coffee like beverage over into the cat roaming side with a lid of course because these little guys will be rubbing up on all your belongings probably as they're so friendly. You get 1hr in the cat roaming side to hangout, play with the cats and their toys or just drink your coffee if that's your prerogative. It's really a great experience to help habituate the cats to interacting with people, which in turn will help them get adopted at some point. Obviously you also have the option to adopt the critters after your visit if you end up bonding with one. Really well run business with super friendly staff. Can't say enough about what they do.

Kansas City has been a fun place to visit once in awhile especially to see a concert. We happened…read moreto be staying near by this cafe and wanted to check it out. We loved the little set up with a great amount of seating, a clean bathroom, and outlets for people who want to study or get some work done. We were a little hungry and got the empanadas and both tried the Yerba mate. We've never had the traditional yerba mate and were excited we could try it here. Once our order was ready one of the employees was happy to explain to us how to properly drink the yerba mate. She was patient, kind, and professional the whole time. There's definitely a trick to drinking it without getting the tea leaves through the straw. As we enjoyed our snack and drink we could tell the caffeine kicks in a little later. So, if you're up to trying traditional yerba mate, be aware that you'll get a gradual burst of energy a little later. I personally loved the decor and the atmosphere here. They had little knick knacks you could purchase, a small refrigerator with items to take with you as well. I got a couple of key chains for my sister and myself and my boyfriend and I have already noted that we want to come back here the next time we're in Kansas City!

If you haven't tried ube, you're missing out! Ube is a purple yam, I first had in Hawaii and seeing it combined in coffee drinks peaked my interest. Its sweet, vanilla nutty flavor with matcha is just heaven... and as a float - a treat! The ube is a dollop of powder do stir to blend. The strawberry sparkling matcha is made with lemonade was a zesty & tangy with matcha base. There are dried strawberries atop for vibrant garnish Both were delicious!

This might be a hot take but I found Chambre Coffee to be underwhelming on my first visit. I was…read moreultimately really excited to check them out though, which maybe is playing part in my overall disappointment? To begin with, Chambre Coffee is located inside of the old Westport Coffeehouse building. I have many memories of the old coffeehouse, including a first date with my now husband, so it holds some nostalgia for me. Despite that, I would be the first to say it was time for a new cafe to take the reigns in this location and after seeing so many hyped reviews I was really excited to come and see what the new spot was all about. When I pulled up I could see the new minimalist branding and I was honestly really surprised at how different the entire cafe looked inside. It's hard to describe but it somehow feels smaller, despite having way less furniture. I ordered some kind of specialty drink and sat down at a table. I have to say a big part of my lower rating is that I just didn't care for the ambiance. It was so quiet, with hardly anybody else working, that you could hear a pin drop. It just felt awkward to sit there and take a meeting like I was about to do. There is also way less seating and it just felt sort of cold in there. The old spot had its flaws, but it was nearly always busy with people studying, meeting up, reading a book, etc, it had strong coffee shop vibes, and I'm missing that here. The coffee itself was okay - I think I'd try something else next time. Overall, it was just okay. I would like to return sometime and give them another go. Maybe with a more friendly barista, and some light music in the background I'll have a different experience. Wishing this new business all the best though, and hope to return to give them another try.

However, I felt like it was a little pricey with a cup of lukewarm brewed coffee at $5.50 and $2 for a refill (which I didn't get because the 1st cup was barely warm).
