Burr Roasters & Cafe
515 Delaware St, Lawrence, KS
Crema's Take
“This veteran-owned Lawrence gem has perfected the art of making everyone feel genuinely welcomed, from kids who beg to visit to business professionals settling into quiet booths for important meetings. Their espresso and pour-over program clearly resonates with coffee enthusiasts who can't wait to get home and brew their beans, while the relaxed, cozy atmosphere transforms it into the kind of neighborhood spot where you lose track of time. Ray and the team here have built something rare: a specialty coffee destination that's equally at home hosting serious coffee conversations and family afternoons.”

I was gonna wait to write a review until the next few times I went in, but after tasting their coffee beans when I got home I decided I just couldn’t wait. The service from Ray was amazing. I came in and asked if they sold their own beans. I’m a very awkward person in general, but he didn’t seem to mind at all. We talked for a bit and he helped me find the roast that best suit what I needed it for. He also gave me a few tips that would help me get a better pull of espresso, like what grinder to get and why my espresso may taste better. And overall we just had a great conversation. We had just been using beans from Walmart and Amazon and now I don’t think we will ever go back. The espresso was AMAZING. It didn’t make me feel sick on the first sip and it wasn’t bitter. It tasted smooth and fresh. I will be getting my beans here from now on.
Okay I'll be honest that I'd never been here before only during times where kids do the trick 'or treating downtown and this was a great visit. My buddy and I met for coffee to talk over business and we got the chance to meet and visit with the owner, Ray Ford. It was wonderful and these folks do their own in-house roasting and have plenty of room in the front for comfortable seating and then they have a nice meeting room just beyond the area where they prepare your drinks. It's going to be on my regular round for coffee for sure!
My kiddos LOVE coming to “the coffee shop” with me and Burr’s is the reason why! They’ve perfected an atmosphere of cozy and comfortable, whether you’re a high class business professional (booths, quiet tables with power outlets ready to go) or a tired mom with 3 young kiddos in tow (family room, high chairs, crayons/coloring sheets, books). The regular coffee and tea menu is solid and the seasonal menu never disappoints. On top of it all, they have cold chocolate milk, the biggest chocolate chip cookies, and darn good staff!! Truly a Leavenworth gem.
This “little” coffee shop is huge! They have a great selection of coffee beans and offer fresh coffee to order. The customer service was wonderful. The lady behind the counter immediately helped me make a decision on what to buy. Fresh cookies were brought out while I was paying so I bought one. They were amazing. This is no scooters or Starbucks. This is so much better. They have a large open sitting room when you first walk in and in the back is a room with a large table and an area with crayons. There is a tv as well. She explained that it is open for groups groups to use such as military, churches and homeschooling groups. I was so impressed by this space. Options for food available but they are in the process of updating the physical menu. Gluten and dairy free option’s available as well
