    What a friendly coffee shop! Tried this cafe out for the first time and they have excellent coffee. We ordered an iced oat milk SF caramel latte and a hot vanilla hazelnut latte as well as a cream carrot cake pastry. The space is very lovely and light & airy with local artists displaying their art for sale. The baristas were friendly and attentive and brought out our items and the owner stopped by our table to greet us after stopping in with a delivery. It was a relaxing and peaceful ambience that we enjoyed and we look forward to returning.

    Great coffee in western Shawnee!

    If you know, you know. Western Shawnee is a great area to live: quiet, wooded, not a ton of traffic, & very family-oriented. There are plenty of options to dine and get other services, but if you want to explore the metro, you gotta go a ways. It's not the worst, but living outside the loop adds a few miles/minutes to your travels should you want a unique offering. Trust me on this one, as a former Shawnee-in (Shawnee-ite?). But that's where small biz choices like Prayer Box come in. Instead of Shawnee having another tired option that lacks distinction, now Prayer Box provides an oasis in a small coffee desert. Step into the remodeled space and you can see the time and dedication that has transformed it into an inviting kaffehaus. The menu is varied while still being focused instead of tricking you into some Seattle lab experiment. Prayer Box is serving Broadway Coffee and doing it up right whether hot or iced. All the usual suspects are on hand as flavor agents and seasonal offerings are not only the norm but handcrafted. There are pastries aplenty on hand, but I would suggest a wedge of their quiche. On this day I had a choice between the bacon & cheese or a crust-less veggie variety and I opted for the former, well, because pie crust. And WOW! what a nice surprise, super fluffy and exceptionally flavorful, making my Sunday morning all the better. It's hooks like this that make me skip drive-thru lines and head for the small biz, because if I'm getting a muffin from a chain outlet, it likely wasn't made on-site. Prayer Box is the complete opposite, leaving me feeling as if we were guests at someone's home and they served amazing quiche with their coffee. Add in comfortable seating, including a small couch and throw blankets, and this has all the makings of a comfortable morning. Easy to park, because western Shawnee has one thing downtown doesn't: space. Easy to buy, because the offerings are made right in front of you. And easy to enjoy, because if you stay local, you eat local, and you buy local. Prayer Box deserves all the stars!

    Looks like we've got a new coffee shop in town! It's Friday at about 11a. The coffee shop is really cute, bright and modern, upbeat music and lots of plants. It wasn't super busy but there seems to be steady traffic. The barista and (I'm assuming) the owners/managers are friendly and professional. It sounds like they're still training staff but everyone seems to be doing well to me. Now for the coffee- I asked for a cold drink recommendation and ended up with a lavender lemon latte. Not my usual order but it is light, refreshing and I quite enjoy it. I also ordered a Caesar salad - good/standard, well dressed. No wifi yet, but the owner/manager says it should be up in a couple weeks. 4 stars for now but I'm excited to see this place get up and running!

    Lavender Honey Chai -  So good!  and the Cheesy Spinach Quiche was amazing!  loved the fresh raspberry as well!

My Moose of a husband ordered a Bacon & Egg Breakfast Sandwich and said it was really good too! #HitTheSpot Highly recommend this delightful #FromScratch quality food #PrayerBox. #PureHeartedFoodie #TravelByTastebuds #TantalizeYourTastebuds

    Beth's Quiche and Iced Caramel Latte

    This was my first time in a year having a "kid free" morning. I recently lost my mom the same week I gave birth to my son, so going out alone was honestly terrifying for me today. I decided to find a small coffee shop and came across Prayer Box Cafe and am so glad I did! Wonderful environment, cozy but bright and happy, family like service, and great music. I had the Beth's Quiche and an iced latte, both were phenomenal! I'll definitely be back

    Awesome Quiche Katie the owner is great. A very welcoming group of employees. The coffee and drinks are great and priced fair. A local business owner working hard to provide a great establishment where folks can congregate and enjoy the coffee and food options.

The space is very large with multiple seating areas, quiet corners, plenty of open dining and enclosed room dining as well. It has a walkthrough to the bakery side along with mini store selling cups, Messner Farms merchandise and more. Now I really enjoyed my CBS: marinated chicken, bacon, red onion, cheddar cheese, tomato and chipotle mayo on brioche potato roll.. sounds pretty good huh! It was devine! Those combined ingredients made for one of the best chicken sandwiches hot or cold (because I could finish it in one sitting) I've had! Now I picked at the chicken solo and it didn't have too much flavor but as a sandwich everything comes together well! I wasn't too impressed with the Mudslide.. it was dreary, no hit of chocolate or creme so I'm not sure what it was supposed to be. My mom said the match with honey syrup was decent. Everything for the price definitely ensured my only trip.

It's a lovely restaurant. It seems a bit out of the way with mostly corporate buildings around. The restaurant has a nice modern aesthetic. I like the purple hyacinths hanging from the ceiling in one area. It was very steady for an off time in the afternoon. First, our server Olivia was amazing! Very attentive and we were extra needy this day so I really appreciate her patience. We even dropped food on the floor. Oops! She was so nice about it and cleaned it up immediately. We had customizations and extra requests. No problem for her! She went above and beyond. I hope she sees this because she was such a joy! The food was also very good. We started with the biscuits and one peach compote and one blueberry. Both were yummy. They were traditional drop biscuits and I love a good biscuit! We also had an order of fried green tomatoes on goat cheese grits. You get 4 very large slices. I could only eat one. The grits were yummy but there were not enough of them in relation to the friend green tomatoes. They were also encased by a sauce. I'm guessing a remoulade. I don't really care for remoulade sauce so I'd have removed it had I known it came with the dish. It really overpowered the goat cheese taste in the grits. The tomatoes were very al dente and I would have preferred them cooked a bit more. The dish was still good but my least favorite and I would normally love anything with those ingredients and fried green tomatoes are a favorite so the remoulade (or whatever it was) sauce was a real problem for me. I would definitely get them again without the sauce because they are great otherwise. But that sauce just overpowers every other flavor! I got the chicken tender dinner and others in my party got the bone in fried chicken. Everyone liked their chicken. The tenders were a big size. 4 of them but I hit 2 meals out of them. Everyone liked the Parmesan rosemary potatoes. I really liked the bacon green beans. The only side we weren't impressed with was the Mac and cheese unfortunately. The cheese was not good. We got coffees and a chai. All of them were very good. A bit pricey for the amount you get though. Even with the smaller complaints, I'd still give th a 5 because of the outstanding service and the dishes were overall very good and large portions. We will definitely return and I hope to try out a breakfast item next visit!
