I was introduced to SconeLady's Coffee Shop on a recent Caffeine Crawl. With infrequent visits to…read moreLawrence and the shop being in a secluded strip mall on the less interesting west side of LFK, I probably never would have ventured in if not for the Caffeine Crawl. The space gives a bit of a rural and rustic vibe, with the large sleek industrial roaster in the center of the seating area. We were treated to a start to finish roasting demonstration and samples of the dark and light roast drip coffees, along with tasty biscotti. I brought some scones home for a treat for my wife - she loved them. Anytime in the future that I find myself in west Lawrence, I would stop in to further support and expand my limited experience from the first visit.

A coffee shop experience that is worth the extra time to visit, even if you are not visiting the hospital.

Full disclosure I came here with a lot of uncertainty. There's a TON of coffee shops in Lawrence…read moreand they all aren't created equal. I took a meeting here and the person I was meeting with gave me a few local options. This was the place I hadn't been yet so I thought I'd go a bit out of my comfort zone and try a new spot. Something I was nervous about from the photos on Yelp was if there would be enough inside seating when I arrived for a meeting. When I pulled up, I was still a bit anxious about this as the front lot was full and I had to pull to the back to park. Once I got out of my car and walked through the cafe to the front to order my anxieties about seating had diminished. It's much larger inside than the outside appears and the photos here on Yelp don't really do the indoors justice. Yes, the outdoor seating is really cute and well shaded so I get why folks focus on it, but if you're like me and wanting to get some work done you'll find a comfortable spot here. Now onto the coffee. As I made my way into the shop I noticed one of my art school professors (we both sort of looked at each other like "do I know you?") and I moved on, but that's a good sign. The art teachers usually know where to snag a decent cup of coffee. When I ordered I tried one of their special drinks and chatted with the baristas about it before I made my choice. Extra points here because not only was the drink really, really good, but the girls working were beyond friendly and answered all of my questions. I'm not lying when I say this was one of the best cups of coffee I've had in Lawrence in some time. I wouldn't hesitate to return.

My husband and ai both got a honey, lavender, and cinnamon latte. We both enjoyed it. I noticed after we ordered that they had some seasonal coffees but wasn't obviously displayed initially. My kid also got a chocolate muffin, she said it was dry so that was a little disappointing. They also have merch and plenty of seating area. They also have plenty of parking. If we are back in the area we would try it again but might not get another pastry.

I hate seeing staff on cellphones at any establishment but it happened here twice. I'll still go because the food is good. I just won't be in a hurry

We just finished up at Allen Fieldhouse watching the Aggies lose to KU (poor Eric R.) and his work called with an emergency so he wanted to sit somewhere, get tea, and use his laptop. I suggested we go to Mana's location. There is free wifi and several places to sit. We decided to share a pot of tea. The tea expert let me try the tea of the day, Oriental Garden oolong, which was really good to me. However, Eric R. likes green tea so we had to agree. He suggested jasmine pearls, and I agreed. We sat down, had lots of cups of delicious jasmine green tea, and got work done. There was a tv playing Japanese anime quite loudly in the background, but we tuned it out. I would come back to try other teas.

Check out their menu online for their offerings (loose leaf options, tea service, by the cup, Kava, Kratom, etc) ; not the basic, traditional tea you might expect.
