Meshuggah Bagels is a very cute spot to visit! The bagels remind me of NY style bagels which I…read moreloved. Recently they changed from coffee refills to only one cup per charge which is alright.

What appears to be a mom and pop bakery is actually a baker who has carefully done his research and brings himself up to date on the latest trends of flavor in the baking world. The vibes are amazing - I especially love the art piece on the wall he commissioned from a local artist. I saw the Instagram page with several posts explaining how he did each part. Everything was absolutely delicious (I am biased with the ham and gruyere cheese since that is a favorite combo of mine), the danish was delicious (I could tell maybe it uses veryberryosa - a recent trend in baking to be used as filling), and the same was probably on the cinnamon roll looking crossaint. Now the grand prize - the mochi donuts were spectacular. The flavors I got were raspberry almond (my #1 favorite I got twice), cereal (this was carefully curated and not too sweet like most cereal based baked goods), Irish coffee (didn't taste like coffee, gave it to a friend) and the mango black tea was also a slam dunk for me. The staff are incredibly friendly here which is a huge plus!

YE Gurl Says: Kansas City Just Earned Some New York Points at Meshuggah Bagels…read more Listen, I am naturally skeptical of any bagel shop outside of New York making bold claims. On their website, Meshuggah Bagels proudly declares that they've perfected their recipe to the point where "even a New Yorker would swear they were biting into a piece of home." That's a dangerous statement. As someone who has spent enough time in New York to know the difference between a bagel and a round piece of bread with aspirations, I approached with caution. What I needed was simple: a quick breakfast bite that wasn't going to turn into a full sit-down affair. Then I walked in and saw the menu. The first sign of hope? Bialys. Not many places outside New York even bother. Add smoked salmon options, pastrami nova, and a cooler stocked with old-school Dr. Brown's sodas, and suddenly my skepticism started to soften. So naturally, I ordered accordingly. And I have to admit...They got me. The bagel had the right structure. It was fresh and sturdy enough to support a generous schmear and mountain of salmon without collapsing into a soggy mess halfway through. The salmon itself was abundant. Not one of those sad situations where you're hunting through cream cheese trying to locate the seafood. Every bite delivered. And paired with a Dr. Brown's? For a brief moment, I was transported back to Brooklyn. Not fully thought. Let's not get carried away. But enough to appreciate what they were trying to accomplish. The place was absolutely packed, which is usually a good sign. We were fortunate to find a spot to sit down and enjoy everything before heading back out. YE Gurl Insight: Regional food nostalgia is hard to recreate. Most places chase authenticity through marketing. The better ones focus on execution. Meshuggah Bagels seems to understand that difference. Final Take: Fresh bagels with proper texture Excellent smoked salmon portions Bialys on the menu (a major point in their favor) Classic deli-shop feel Worth the downtown stop YE Gurl Says: If you're in Kansas City and craving a bagel experience that comes surprisingly close to scratching that New York itch, make the stop. Will it replace your favorite neighborhood bagel shop in Brooklyn? No. Will it make you forget you're in Kansas City for a few bites? Surprisingly, yes.

Even when they are busy as heck with a line waiting to place orders the counter staff have been friendly and helpful. The bagels are always fresh and the coffee is hot and flavorful. I wholeheartedly recommend this place, despite my experience today. The counter was manned today by a male who didn't seem to be enjoying his work. Maybe just a bad day. I ordered a nova lox and cream cheese bialy, toasted twice, my usual. He asked if I wanted it loaded I said yes and then said no tomato. When I got my sandwich there was no onion or capers as well as no tomato. When I went to the counter to ask for capers and onion I was told they didn't charge me for it so they'd have to charge me (I said that was fine). The bearded man that was helping me said he'd bring them out to the table, I'd have to put them on the sandwich myself. After 5 minutes (no customers being served) I went back to the counter and inquired and the other male gave them to me. When I opened the sandwich to put them in, I saw that the bialy was warmed, not toasted twice as requested. They might both be new employees, but the usual warmth and helpfulness of the counter staff was definitely lacking.

It's right next to a small city park in Union Hill. Inside it's clean and open with windows all around, and music playing overhead. 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).

I had a hot hazelnut latte and it was just okay, the flavor was pretty bland in my opinion and it was automatically served in a to go cup which bums me out. I like to sit and enjoy my coffee right there and love a good hot mug, it's part of the visit experience to me.

Situated in the base of a beautiful brick building, Messenger Coffee is a wide open, airy, bright and industrial space featuring all the classic coffees, a great assortment of house curated drinks, along with a solid selection of homemade pastries and other foods plus a good variety of novelties, bulk coffees and a few other items. The space is laid out well with the ordering counter and retail on one side and seating on the other, but it doesn't stop there...their open air industrial kitchen where all the goods are house made takes up over half the space, and is surrounded by barstools that give you a front row seat! While I loved the space, the coffee I got is easily one of the best coffees I have had anywhere...like, no joke! I went with the seasonal Iced KC Sweet Smoked Honeybear and it was absolutely delightful! Balanced, sweet, a tad smoky and tasted like the nostalgia of a honey graham cracker! Perfection. Service was great as well. The barista helped me out with selection, shared details of the drinks and made it a good interaction. Once I tasted the coffee, I knew it was a special spot, so I got back in line and grabbed a koozie so I'd remember far beyond the coffee! Overall, top tier coffee shop that I highly recommend!
