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.

Disclaimer: while I’m writing this my daughter gave me a 1⭐️for the pancakes I just made so this is not to make anyone look bad, it’s just an observation! I said before, it’s cute and nostalgic. I’ve only ever had a salad from here which is great. I decided to get biscuits and gravy on my way to work and it was just not, it. Extremely runny and minimal seasoning. The biscuit couldve been baked a smidge longer. As far as atmosphere- I would not bring a toddler in here. It’s cluttered. Tables are oddly placed as you walk in, and there’s a small alleyway to place your order. I also mentioned on another post, there are at least 6 students in the barista area, why? The drink I ordered didn’t get made any faster. is this supposed to resemble a train station? They’re all kind, it’s just too much happening in here.

Cute and cozy very nostalgic right. I’ve only ever had a salad from here but I stopped by to grab biscuits and gravy one morning. Maybe in a rush maybe just their recipe but extremely runny gravy. Like water consistency. It wasn’t prepackaged but it def needs some work. 6 students in the barista area at one time, it’s a lot going on in there.
