They have self branded stuff like hoodie sweatshirts, coffee beans. Stopped here for lunch on the way from airport to hotel after reading some very positive reviews and I was not disappointed. Its a cute little store with very attentive staff and some special recipes. I got myself the Vegan burrito and the Matcha tea. The burrito had a soy churro, tofu, sweet potato, spinach and mustard sauce . It was very filling , and tasted so good that I was stuffing my myself even when my stomach was asking me to stop .... and then the cold Matcha tea- the tea was good but I needed it more sweetened . But, it made a good combination with my warm burrito. I was soo full, I skipped even supper.... I had to listen to my stomach sometime ! The curios on the wall are cute and tgey are for sale. Handmade by local artists, they make great souvenirs if only they had the one little word Kansas on them . One thing I found difficult, finding a cab at 3 pm. It took 20 min for the cab to arrive. Am not sure if it was the timing or the location. Best to go there in your own vehicle. Would love to come again if I am in the city.

I'm hopeful Yelp will fix this page to make sure the business is accurately represented, but I came…read morehere to sing my praises for THE LITTLE STORE ON KNOX (the right business name ) After a breakup with my former favorite coffee haunt due to a complete customer culture shift thanks to the involvement of a private equity firm, I was on the hunt to support a truly local business with a desire to make an excellent cup of coffee for their community. I'm happy to report that The Little Store on Knox is THAT GIRL. Cozy atmosphere, tucked into the cutest neighborhood in the Northland, house made syrups, friendly service, patio seating, and excellent specialty drinks. Please go give them some love if you're looking for a way to support local business owners in KC. And I'd encourage you to do your research on those who used to be considered locally owned, that reality has changed pretty drastically in KC in recent years.

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!

Even with the crowd it was not noisy at all and I was able to settle in and get plenty of work done. I ordered an iced oat milk latte with an extra shot of espresso and it was delicious. The coffee flavor really came through and was perfectly prepared. The staff was also very friendly and helpful which made the experience even better. I will definitely be back.

The staff was helpful, friendly, and welcoming from the moment I walked in. One thing I really appreciated is that both their 12 oz and 16 oz drinks come with two shots of espresso, which is a nice bonus. They also have some really unique flavor combinations. I ordered the hot Blackberry Buckle Latte and added white chocolate mocha. I'd never had a blackberry coffee before, and it was surprisingly delicious. It wasn't overly sweet or syrupy. Instead, it had a more balanced, almost savory flavor. You could actually taste the blackberry without it overpowering the coffee, making for a really unique and enjoyable drink. The only downside is that the inside is pretty small. If they're busy, it can feel crowded with customers waiting and ordering since there's not much room to move around. However, they do have outdoor seating with four tables (three shaded by umbrellas) and about six additional individual chairs, making it a nice option to enjoy your coffee outside. Overall, if you're looking for creative coffee flavors, quality espresso, and friendly service, Hi Hat Coffee is definitely worth checking out. I'll definitely be back to try more of their unique drinks!

The wait turned out to be worth it. I arrived just after they opened and stepped into a space that's eclectic, funky and a little random in the best way, complete with bookcases of games that gives the place its own personality. My cortado was the epitome of perfection, rich and balanced, and because it took a moment to prepare, I was handed a free chocolate chip cookie. That little surprise absolutely blew my ketosis but I didn't regret it for a second. I stayed for two hours, settling in and enjoying the atmosphere with their wifi before heading out to explore Independence. Coffee Elsewhere is one of those neat little spots that feels genuinely local, the kind of place that does coffee right and doesn't try to be anything other than itself. It was a great stop and exactly the kind of independent shop I look for when I'm on the road. [Review 822 of 2026 - 540 in Missouri - 26003 overall]
