What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"Look, I really wanted to like this place. The decor, the environment, everything about it is so cute and cozy. They have done an amazing job creating a beautiful space. I've gone about 7 or 8 times now and I refuse to go back again. Every single time ive gone the coffee has been terrible. Whether it's a latte or just regular drip coffee. The drip coffee is either really burnt or sometimes just cold. On top of that I have never had good service. The baristas always seem to be in a terrible mood and always make it feel wrong to be there. Like your existence is a problem. I try and be pleasant, ask how they're doing, and just be kind but it has never been reciprocated. I work in customer service myself and I feel like even the bare minimum is not met. I understand it can be a very intense fast paced environment for them, and I know the store can be really busy but that is no excuse to not be a human being back. Finally they're cups just suck. The lids never actually do their job for hot or iced drinks. I thought it was a fluke but now that it's happened everytime ive gone I can not ignore it anymore. Everytime I get to my destination this is what my cup looks like. My friends cups look the same too which really sucks. This last time I got hot coffee all over my leg. I really more than anything wanted to like this place but I can't. By far and away the worst coffee shop in lees summit. As much as I want to support small local businesses, id rather go to pretty much anywhere else than here."
"Nice place to warm up during a winter walk through the holiday-lit downtown area. I thought the prices were a little high, but hey, it's a nice place in downtown Lee's summit, andb I'm sure their rent is high cost too. Happy to support a local shop! I tried their Maple pecan latte with half and half. A limited time seasonal flavor. It was like having a piece of pecan pie and coffee at the same time, delicious. I'll go back."
"First visit. Jammy Tomato avocado toast was delicious. I loved the flavors, it has a LOT of avocado! Not a complaint, just fair warning if you don't happen to like things🤔sauce-y? Not sure how else to describe that. LOVED the German chocolate Mocha latte. Good service, very busy so seating is probably limited at peak times."
"Visiting downtown Lee’s Summit from out of state and found this cute little coffee shop. Very good coffee, nice selection of teas and herbal infusions. The Spinach Artichoke Panini and Club Salad were both excellent. Had a little snafu with our order and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. Truly excellent customer service. We may be back in the morning!"
"They are SOOOO kind and polite here. I once stayed with a group of friends trying to wrap up a conversation, full well knowing they were closing and the shop was kind enough to remain open long enough for us to not be kicked out. They were so kind about it, thank you!!! The coffee is also constantly amazing!"
"I really wanted to like this place. I've lived in LS since 2008 and hadn't gotten around to this place. And I'd heard good things. So I'll start with the..."
