They had an amazing selection of plants sorted by pet safe, low light low water, and other sensible categories. Prices were reasonable too. Highly highly recommend.

Nice and inviting and a great place to check out. Since we were visiting from out of town, we…read moredidn't purchase anything since we didn't want it to sit in a hot car for too long. However, I did like that they were able to break up the plants in to different sections and that the ones that were more pet safe were all together. The guy working was friendly. We didn't have any questions, but others did and he was willing to help them and answer as needed. They were having a sale while we were there as well, but it looks like they've had a few other ones too.

Snuggled in along Santa Fe in old OP, Ink & Page has a minimalist look but a book lover's feel. A sprinkling of categories & genres along each wall, children's selections - complete with kiddo space - in the back, and popular titles in the middle. Aye, and that mid-section holds the real values, gently used books that have attractive price points. Many of those titles are recent or very popular, and if you bring in books for trade, then you get a 15% in-store credit - win! The north wall has a display with recommended reading from Ink & Page employees. I mean, wouldn't we ask if anyone knew whether a story/author was worth our time if we knew someone who had already taken the plunge? It's better than Google Reviews! (but not Yelp) There are some comfy spots to plop down and browse your selections or just enjoy the tranquility of a good ol' bookseller's space. Pricing for new titles is list, but used titles vary and that's where Ink & Page offer extra value. Parking is old OP-ish, so you're either lucky or you're walking a bit. Friendly service, great display, and fabulous value waits for you here.

This is an Indie book shop in the Strawberry Hill area. The person that was working was nice and…read morehelpful. The store is light filled and attractive and has a calm and quiet atmosphere. They had a $1 cart outside when approaching the store and I perused the books and purchased one of those and also a used fiction book. My husband also bought a used Tai Chi book that he found. They had a selection of new books displayed on the wall and some seating to look through the books. Then there were two shelves pushed back to back with used books. They had non-fiction, fiction, self help, health, philosophy, religion, autobiographical books, travel type, and political type books. They had some t-shirts/stickers in the window area and some collector books in a back corner with a small book case I'd used youth books. Their prices on the uses ranged from $2, $4, $6. There were some that were not priced in the inner cover. I love bookstores and especially with used books because I won't buy a new book since I am patient and can wait until I can find it used and cheaper. A nice book store but a smaller collection of books.

I liked the cute shop and the various seating to browse through the books. The store has a nice relaxing atmosphere and quiet playlist.

She has some new and mostly used and also sells local author's books and items. There was coffee available also which was a nice touch. The only reason for the 4 star is some prices on certain items were quite high in comparison to being found elsewhere.

I can't say enough good things about this shop. Easily the best coffee shop in Kansas City without…read morequestion. They have the best espresso in Kansas City. The same is true of their cold brew. Plus they make their chai in house and that's crazy good too. Their syrups are made in house, and they have a fantastic selection. House made caramel cardamom? Obviously yes. Plus they make their chocolate, white chocolate and caramel syrups. I'm not sure how they pull all of that off because it's all so good. I found some of the seasonal drinks lean toward the sweeter side if that's what you're looking for. Then there's the food. Which in any other shop would have started off my review (their drinks really are good enough to start with). They managed to put a full bakery into their tiny kitchen and make fresh focaccia every day and then use that for a handful or unique panini sandwiches. They literally have an overnight baker baking bread so they're not in the way of the baristas. Paninis sound like basic coffee shop fare, but the bread is so good. I wish you could order just the focaccia bread. The fig & prosciutto panini is the star of the show. But they also make a turkey and pesto one that's so good. Oh also this spicy Italian panini that uses nduja sausage. I've never had a panini like that anywhere. They make a chicken salad on a house made croissant baked that morning. There isn't a better chicken salad in Kansas City, and the croissants are actually outstanding by themselves (which unlike the focaccia, they do make enough croissants every day for you to take one home by itself if you want to). The cinnamon rolls are a classic and they're often gone by the time I get there. Honestly it's crazy when you make the best cinnamon rolls and they're still not the best thing on the menu. They're consistently soft, rich, pull apart and delicious. You can taste real vanilla in the icing. The details really stand out. The breakfast burrito is so good but they're usually sold out when I get. They're clearly made from scratch in small batches, which is the only way anyone should do it. I didn't mind waiting ten minutes because it's quite clear they're putting care and attention into quality. Food at coffee shops usually feels like an after-thought. Baked goods that are brought in from somewhere else. Microwaved breakfast items. I wouldn't normally think much about it. But everything I've had at the book club is has tasted so intentional and delicious. It's nuts that this place is in downtown Mission and is putting out such consistently fantastic food and drinks. Last thing that stands out is the staff. Their baristas are top notch. They clearly took time to find good people even though they just opened. This is a hospitality-focused shop which is absolutely missing in a lot of shops. Good people, genuine kindness, and they're all so good at what they do. This will forever be my shop.
