Front Range Cafe - Waldo / Brookside
400 E Gregory Blvd, Kansas City, MO
Crema's Take
“Front Range draws a loyal morning crowd with smooth, espresso-focused coffee and baristas who treat regularity like genuine friendship—one reviewer specifically praised a barista named Joy for her intentional hospitality and memory for orders. The Waldo location hits that sweet spot between a quick caffeine grab and a destination for lingering, with flexible seating that works whether you're working solo or meeting friends, plus a rotating selection of pastries and light bites that elevate it beyond standard coffee shop fare.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

One of my favorite spots to hang alone or with friends. A great mix of cozy seating and tables to work at. Their coffee is smooth and service is wonderful. Everyone here is great.
