Crema's Take

Nestled inside the Nelson-Atkins Museum, Thou Mayest trades the typical coffee shop hustle for a calm, gallery-adjacent vibe with stunning views of the plaza and museum grounds. The baristas are genuinely enthusiastic about their craft—crafting smooth espresso drinks and accommodating creative customizations—while keeping both prices and wait times refreshingly reasonable. It's the kind of place where a quick caffeine stop becomes a moment to linger, whether you're between gallery visits or settling in with your laptop.
