Crema's Take

“This laid-back Kansas City gem pairs consistently excellent coffee and creative specialty drinks with live jazz and R&B, making it as much a music venue as a café. The relaxed, intergenerational atmosphere and reasonable prices have built a loyal local following who treat it as their second home, whether grabbing a quick quality brew or settling in for hours with friends. If you're after that rare coffee shop where the vibe is just as carefully crafted as the drinks, this is worth the visit.”

What to expect

Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Open late.
