We love Sway! The baristas are awesome and welcoming. They remember our usual drinks and helpful if we're feeling something new. Great vibes and great service!
I stopped by today for the first time, and will definitely be back! The barista was very kind in helping me find a great drink, and the atmosphere was great! I appreciate the convenient parking and so many seating options as well. All and all this is a great spot!
We always get 3 different lattes (seasonal plus most ordered in iced or hot variants). We heavily rely on the barista to help us make a decision. We engage with the barista to understand the syrups and of course take his/her recommendation on the drinks. I do feel the barista wasn't willing to engage in conversation about the coffee she was about to serve...and I understand, some folks are introverts, but if a customer asks for a recommendation or "what's popular on your menu" or "which seasonal drink do you recommend", I'd appreciate small talk. We ordered 2 hot and one cold latte...and neither of us were able to tell which hot latte was what. The syrup/flavor was missing. Felt like we were drinking steamed milk. The iced coffee was great. So credit where credit is due. The decor, seating and space is on point. Great atmosphere to work or just enjoy a coffee. There was a decent amount of parking spots and a ton of seating inside. Overall, I wish we had slightly better service and drinks. This place has the potential to be a very highly recommended spot.
First and foremost if you are like me, and like a coffee shop WITH food, I want you to know the quiche and cinnamon rolls here are BOMB! I was having a hard time finding out if this place actually had food or not, but they do and it’s awesome. They have a meat and vegetarian quiche as well! I got an ice matcha and my husband got a hot cappuccino and both of our drinks were amazing. I couldn’t believe how hot the cappuccino was! My iced matcha was definitely one of the best ones I’ve ever had. The atmosphere is super cute as well and not too loud- which I really appriciate. They also roast their own beans and you can park in the back through the main seating area to see them at work! We also spent $23 for the two quiches, giant cinnamon roll, and two drinks! I will definitely be coming back!
☕️ Gem of a coffee shop in Kansas City - great atmosphere, a fantastic Chai, limited amount of seating, beautiful design. Food: ordered an iced Chai. Refreshing and bright taste. No complaints! Service: the staff was very friendly and kind. Helped me navigate their menu, as well as answer questions about their merch. Atmosphere: modern yet cozy vibes. Great place to sit and work or sit and chat; however, there is limited seating and we had to wait to find an open table. I can see why people would want to come here and why they’re busy! Parking: very limited parking. Only 6-7 spaces in front of the store. A few 5 minute parking spots. We had to park on a neighborhood street a block away.
