Although we…read moredidn't stay and eat at this place, we were attended quickly and everyone working was very friendly and helpful. We ordered a vegan Avocado Toast and one Blood Orange refreshers, which were simple, but fresh and tasted great. There were several tables inside and outside where people can eat, and while we were waiting for our food we did notice there were a few parties. The food came out fairly quickly and tasted great. In general, I would return to this place.

The sweet potato and black bean breakfast burrito was a little mushy- I'll try another flavor next time. Areas to improve: I think that more electrical outlets are needed (come with a fully charged laptop). Also both of the fun little up-above places to sit were covered in crumbs when I scoped them out for possible seating- I think the staff could do more sweeps of the area when business gets slow- I was there for four hours getting work done, and it was slow, and nothing was cleaned up.

I came in on a Monday and ordered their banana cream latte and made it iced. I also added one of…read moretheir ginormous cinnamon rolls as well. Service was quick and nice, but they don't, or at least for me, warm up the cinnamon roll which I wish they did but totally fine. There's plenty of seating down and upstairs, so I helped myself to the upstairs area to enjoy my goodies. I also got a couple stickers! You could taste a super subtle hint of banana with your first sip. Nothing crazy then really good espresso flavor towards the end. The cinnamon roll did not go to waste and despite it being cold, it was enjoyed all the way through.

Still it is a great location. I was satisfied with the furniture because it seems as if most coffee shops mission is to have the most uncomfortable seating and table option available. The coffee was pretty good and much better than their beans found in local stores. The bean options and variety is pretty good and can change day to day. I forgot the espresso blend they had but I want to say it was Colombian and Venezuelan which was interesting but still good. I had a good time and everyone did as well.

I appreciate that this place seemed to embody the culture of the drink. The owner, Wes, was very friendly and seemed genuinely interested in his customers having a good experience. One star off because prices aren't listed. I don't understand why places do this, and when I asked about it the owner said it's more common than not to not have prices listed. This is completely untrue in my experience. He then said that his place was cheaper than most. Also, untrue in my personal experience. But then again, this place is in Parkville so *shrug*. Now, the ($8!) latte I did order was delicious. So, there is that. I was also given some Kava to try, but it wasn't something I particularly enjoyed - neither the taste, nor the lidocaine-like experience of numbing my mouth. I'd definitely recommend checking this place out, though!

The iced snickerdoodle latte is incredible, I definitely suggest it. The space is large, and very comfortable to work in. There are many tables inside and on an extended patio area, and comfortable armchairs sporadically placed throughout the dining area. A warning for those there to work: Take earbuds or headphones. The place gets busy with young families and children screaming mid-morning, at least on Sundays. (Maybe less so during the week.) They play religious music, which aligns with their business and decor.

The red go sauce has an asian flair to it. I loved it! And it is a great complement to the sausage, egg, cheese and potato in the fresh tortilla. It was probably the best breakfast burrito that I have had! Wow! Such a fun local coffee shop that you have to visit!

It surrounded by windows, which is nice and they have a cool overhead display of tons of white coffee mugs at varying he suspended above. The coffee was good, my husband had a hot honey badger latte with oat milk, and I had an iced honey badger latte with oat milk. We both enjoyed them. The service was not very good. I originally went to the counter to pick up a menu and look at it before we walked over since my grandson was playing in the children's area. I wasn't even standing by the cash register, but standing to the side and the young girl that worked there was rude and asking if I needed anything. I just told her that I was looking at the menu prior to coming back to order and then asked about any syrup for a tea. So then eventually, we did go back and she was rude that time, but not only to me but pretty much everyone that walked up there. She was the only worker so I don't know if she felt overwhelmed, even though there wasn't a ton of people coming up there or if that was her regular attitude. But barista's make up a good portion of whether people enjoy a space. The table and chairs were contemporary basic and for some reason in that particular coffee shop I felt like everyone was on view and really didn't seem like you had privacy. So we chose to take our coffee into the Knies library area against a large window that overlooked prairie, grasses, and wildflowers and enjoyed it there. So I would say a five star for the coffee, but it's getting a three star for the barista, the two times that I interacted with her and the seating.

Everything was so great we decided to get it again today but paid a visit inside. Iced vanilla latte still amazing and my boyfriend got the honey rush which was also good. Today we also tried their burritos (The Gobbler and The Chief). Only suggestion I can think of would be to have a hot sauce bottle or 2 at the grab-n-go bar. Would've made the burritos that much better for the spicy lovers. Staff was kind. Vibe of the inside is cute and lots to look at on their walls. Can buy the artwork off the wall if you'd like! Was given a punch card (buy 10 drinks, get 1 free), which we will definitely be using. We've tried so many local places in the area as residents of North KC, and this place definitely has the best iced coffees! Thank you! We will definitely be back.

For lunch, we ordered the chicken sandwich with the Greek Goddess dressing, the wedge salad, the beet salad, and the miso soup. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. We all enjoyed our meals so much that I brought my family and friends back for dinner just a few days later. The dinner menu is definitely pricier than lunch, but it was absolutely worth it. We ordered the Bistro steak, pork chop, and free-range chicken, and every entrée was cooked perfectly. The flavors were creative, balanced, and absolutely phenomenal. The drinks were also excellent, and the service was attentive and friendly. The ambiance truly completes the experience. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, and having a live piano player during dinner adds such a warm, elegant touch. We loved everything about Prima Facie and are already looking forward to bringing more family and friends to enjoy this wonderful restaurant. Highly recommended!
