Reviews of Crows Coffee South Plaza (Coffee Shop)

Great spot for coffee and pastries. Parking is easy and there are plenty of tables to sit at. Great place to get work done as well.

Loved our experience at this quaint coffee shop! Great place to enjoy a wonderful latte!

I love to study here and their chai is to die for!! I just wish those Chorizo breakfast burritos were cheaper :(

Amy Meyer

Great coffee, super friendly people, and overall a pleasant place to sit and read a book, work, or chat with friends.

I have found Home :-) seriously the best coffeeshop in the City!

Amanda S. Frye

Delicious Pastry! Best croissant I have had, including in Paris.

They make the best London fog in town!

Chocolate Chai to die for!

Very chill coffee stop! Loved my drink and visit here

If have ever, do, or may at some point drink coffee you should go here. Hip atmosphere, and the best frozen coffee drink I've ever had.

Brad Unruh

Drink was good people were friendly!

Desiree Long

Great little coffee shop near UMKC. I don't drink coffee, but I always get hot chocolate and it is delicious. Staff is always nice.

jim armer

delicious coffees and drinks, yummy pastries and such, great staff, comfortable cool decor

David Wood

Great place. Friendly staff. Excellent coffee. Crow's South is the same.

Ryan Hood

Cool place to drink coffee.

Mindwarp

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, and the most wicked Chai anywhere. The dirty Chai is the best (regular chai latte with a shot of espresso). They also have day old cookies or pastries for half price sometimes, and they are open until 9 p.m.

For someone who doesn't know a thing about coffe they helped me personally choose something I would like; their honey orange iced latte was pretty good

Cari Pruessner

Best mint iced tea ever!!!

Shá D.

I wasn't a fan, but my boyfriend seemed to enjoy it.

Christopher Draven

Great chocolate chai. Cool and friendly baristas!

johnny waller

The Philly cheesesteak was great. I'll have to come back and get a whole one. The drinks and service were excellent too but that Philly...

Jason Christman

Good coffee, friendly staff. plenty of room to sit and enjoy your coffee.

Bobby Allen

Coffee was passable, staff was unfriendly. Felt like I was burdening them for a cup of “premium” coffee, definitely wouldn’t go back solely based on the service. I’d recommend oddly correct or messengers.

Paula Green

This is a great coffee shop. They have great tasting coffee beverages with traditional dairy plus non dairy options like oat milk. Friendly staff. Excellent food. I highly recommend their quiches, any variety they have on hand.

Nick Bartelli

Bakery is overpriced. Was sitting on wood stool in concrete corner and had fleas jumping all over me. Coffee is good though. Wouldn't hang out in there.

geisha monifa

Great coffee, Wi-Fi, trendy atmosphere

Thomas Klinzmann

Cool place to just be, sit, having coffee, organizing your day. Very friendly staff. Simplistic and neat, fairly quiet place.

Kaylee Farmer

Go here almost everyday to have a coffee and study. Very cozy and staff is welcoming. Oh yeah, coffee is delicious!

Sheree Sims

Great coffee. Rude service. Can cut the pretension in this place with a knife.

Ethan Maiden

The coffee is really good and they have the best service I have encountered in a long time. I keep recommending it to a ton of people in the Bloch school.

Jess Williams

Best coffee close to UMKC. Baristas are friendly and skilled. Atmosphere is great for working, studying, or meeting. And though it's almost always busy, it's rare not to find a place to sit.

Doug Terranova

Great coffee. Cool little hangout spot.

Harley Quinn

The barista was super awesome, and there's just a general awesome vibe in the "hipster" coffee shop

Andrew Stinton

Awesome little find! Great brew, delicious breakfast, good conversation with Zach!

Nikhil Rajuri

Really good coffe, and a good place to hangout with friends.

Eric Glock

I didn't really buy anything, but they seemed like a bit of a dreary lot.

Hunter Warner

Nice coffee shop with a good cold brew.

Lisa DeRose

My favorite place to get coffee! Friendly staff, great coffee, wonderful atmosphere! I love locally owned and operated businesses!

Clif Dickens

The breakfast burrito was microwaved, and the coffee wasn't the best in the world. The staff was nice, though!

Daniel Romine

Good coffee and great service! All you could ask for.

Laura Remy

Great atmosphere and coffee! Also a fun place to people watch and catch up with friends.

John Towns

Nice quirky place

Jenny Akhtar

Coffee shop right where I want one! Plenty of seating outside. Love the food choices.

Michael Eaton

Definitely the best coffee in Kansas City Not only is the coffee here the best I have ever had, but the baristos/baristas are pretty great too. Just average laid back people who are a nice contrast to some of the other KC specific coffee shops.

Peter Daniel

Good coffee, best artisnal poptart ever.

Jared Holden

Best cafe au lait I have had outside of New Orleans

Crystal Lewis

I feel like I'm always here enjoying a hot cup of coffee. I've never had a bad experience!

Choco Holic

Loved my iced mocha! Powder and all!

Caroly Perez

This was my first visit here; I ordered a 20oz mocha... and a quiche- worst coffee ever. The coffee tasted fishy and bitter only redeeming quality was that it was hot. The quiche was good and the crust held together well. I won't be stopping for coffehere again though!

Nicholas DiVita

No better place to go for coffee. Good service good coffee. Easy atmosphere.

Ryan Yeager

They know coffee, but they're not snotty about it. Tip generously.

Amanda Bridges

Best cappuccino in town! Crows Coffee owner is friendly and engaging. Had great experience here each visit. Definitely recommend!

Heather Physioc

Great almond milk latte. Very friendly baristas. Great spot where there aren't many other local coffee shop options around. Fantastic little space. Reliable WiFi. Always love the chance to meet up with folks at Crow's.

David Hume

Mediocre

Jessy Zapata

Locally owned bussines that provide great service and ambience!!! Love this place and the entire staff.

Oleksiy Lysenko

Gibraltar (Cortado) was tasty. Good music, cozy.

Jenise G

The guys working here were pleasant. Calm vibe. Highly recommend the Crows chai and not really anything else; just saying

Emma Ballard

The espresso here is unbelievably good. I keep sipping my drink and continually being astounded at how much I am enjoying it. Godly.

mattaton

Great coffee, friendly people...definitely recommend the ham and cheese croissant!!!

Guistino Perrini

Favorite coffee shop in KC thus far.

Michael M

I love the white chocolate mocha!!!

Steve Williams

Great local coffee shop.... The people are great and so is the coffee!

John Casement

Incredibly friendly staff, cozy environment, and a great crowd that makes it easy to be productive. Plus, the coffee is top-notch: on par (if not better) than anywhere else in KC. Try the depth charge

Andrew Oliver

Great coffee, however if you like to enjoy your coffee on the patio, be advised... Every day, there is a homeless guy, “Scrappy”, who occupies an entire table and has his belongings with him, resulting in a very unpleasant odor. I really feel bad for him, but the business shouldn’t enable this so that other patrons can enjoy the patio.

Cohen Babcock

Good coffee, but 5 dollars for an iced coffee is a bit much.

Zane Winter

Been coming here since the beginning. Love this place!

Ashley Raines

I love that I smell Chai when I walk in! Yum! I had their chai, and it was tasty. The writing on the bathroom walls provides its own unique entertainment.

Mia Wulff

Best coffee in Kansas City and I am a coffee fanatic. The environment is super relaxing and friendly even the owner is externally friendly. It’s a bit out of my way but I make it a point to go here every so often to support my favorite local coffee shop!

Michael Markum

Excellent as always

Kim Watt

This is now my regular neighborhood coffee stop for University District, Crestwood, South Plaza. (It was Aixois but constant rotation of baristas became exhaustive.) I'm a Westport kid at heart and still love a good Broadway excursion. Parisi is nice but a destination. Quay, Second Best, Kaldi's, and Thou Mayest: not my scene. So many other shops around town to consider; I often times wonder why I tried elsewhere. To the lady who mentioned not getting a full mug or cup- I might have complained about the same, but with inquiry, you'll find that an 8oz latte doesn't fill a 12oz mug... an example. "Perceived value". I get it, but also, if you feel like you didn't get what you ordered or you were cheated, bring it up in store and I am sure these skilled folk will either explain the offset or fix an error.

Carrie Lenahan

I love locally owned business and I especially love it when the owners have a good heart and are involved in the community. The owner and staff of Crows (and I've been to all three KC locations) are top-notch humans and that is reflected in the environments they have created at each of their locations and in the beverages and food that they serve. Highly recommend. (Photo credit: Crows Coffee Facebook page. 51st Street (original) location. January 2019)

Jordan B.

Crows is a great spot to meet up, whether you're going there to study or meet with a colleague. I can see this being a good date spot even though it sometimes feels more like a study location. Great coffee and short wait times for it!

Porg liberation movement

Small local coffee shop, good black iced tea!

Chandara Ngoc

This place is great! Stopped by before our drive to Denver and we're glad we did! The ambiance of the place was just what we needed. Prompt service, a variety of baked goods, and splendid coffee and chai. There is also a patio.

Michael Skinner

I enjoyed the coffee! They were also very nice to my dog.

Mark McGonigle

Great coffee. Great people. Neighborhood charm.

Jessica Mazzell

The Ethiopian coffee was amazing! It had hints of chocolate and raspberries. Absolute delicious. The staff were very friendly and helpful!!

Forrest Asmoth

Awesome atmosphere, awesome people, awesome coffee? What more could ya ask for?! Loooove their quiche! Will be my go to place for coffee in KC!

Kristen Krogman

Some like it hot...good coffee and service, come here often if you like a sauna with your beverage!

Jay Sauser

Every Friday morning this is my pit stop before I head to work. Workers are always nice and sometimes the music playing strikes a huge chord with my nostalgia for 90s rock alternative. Like this place a lot. Been going there for 6 months now and won't stop anytime soon.

w ddasadad

Best latte ever. Guy was even nice enough to bring it out to my table. Prime.

Phillip Stehman

This is a great stop! Very courteous staff. If you are a chai tea lover, good news, it is made from scratch! Yes, you read that right. This location is on a college campus, so it may be busier during semesters. But worth the stop!

Timmy Gibson

I love coffee, and Crows has some of the best tasting coffee I've had ... ever! Anytime I have a friend who loves coffee I always take them to Crows to see what they think, and so far every time they are very impressed! The atmosphere is also warm and friendly. One of KC's best!

Paul Toigo

Great coffee and eats. Always interesting and changing music and wall hangings. Open at 6 am daily.

Jennifer Vest

Not great, but ok

Jessica Medlin

A cozy atmosphere with delicious coffee!! The staff was kind and offered great service. They had a great selection of pastries and snacks too. You must try their chai tea latte!!

David Rodick

Wonderful people, great coffee, amazing prices. The spot is perfect for groups, getting work done, or just reading a book.

Jane Hahn Leat

Oat milk chai is a delight. Order it extra hot.

Brian Spicher

I really liked this coffee shop, it was comfy, staff was fast and friendly, and the matcha Latte was great!

Ryan McNair

Nice selection of coffee and pastries. Drinks are well made.

Richmond Kwakye

The coffee was good and a nice place to hang out.

Chris Holdgraf

Really excellent coffee shop near UMKC. Nice ambience, fantastic coffee, and great people.

Trevor Rodgers

Great atmosphere and location, very well made lattes, and delicious pastries. Would definitely visit here more often if it was closer to me! Highly recommend.

David Mountjoy

Great coffee shop, love the breakfast burritos.

Rachael Redler

The perfect pick me up for those "I wanted to sleep in but instead had to get up and clean my cat's projectile vomit off the window, curtain, and couch" mornings. Great service. Recommend the London Fog.

Sean Burrell

The staff is great and the coffees are great. I love the seasonal flavorings and their pastries. Get the strawberry pop-tart.

Greta Z

Food is super good!(this quiche I just ate was amazing) Coffee & espresso is done right..(exceptional iced and hot latte's)

Amber D. Guzman, PsyD

Delicious brew in an eclectic environment.

Nando Gomez

The drinks were good and the staff was extremely friendly. Nice quiet environment for studying and reading when we went.

Donovan Weber

Easy going vibe, no pressure.

BK H

They have phenomenal coffee!

Elle Eff

The parking situation is kind of crazy and getting in and out of the parking is also crazy but the tea is very good and it seems to have a very cool interior. Love all of the weird messages people wrote in the bathroom.

Brad Garrison

Very chill. Good atmosphere, nice people quiet.

Chris Walter

Very nice place to study, unfortunately the wifi can be quite bad sometimes, they need to change the password more often. To discourage people from overusing who aren't even at the shop.

Jim Lilkendey

Loved the Chai Tea Latte, good flavor and not overly sweet as found most places.

Anurag Patel

Good coffee and a great place to study and get work done

Joseph Yeow

According to Kansas City Star, this is one of the top ten locally own coffee place around town. I have tried 5 so far and this is not the best. I would recommend messenger or black dog coffee over crow. Coffee is under extracted so it’s sour and limited selection of bakery. However, any locally owned coffee shop would be better than Starbucks.

Jordan

I began meeting at Crows with one of my classes. I was skeptical at first, but now I'm glad I found this little place! Nice atmosphere, kind and helpful baristas, AMAZING cream cheese danishes. The tea and coffee never fails to make me happy about going to class. Definitely worth a try!

Rizz Rustbolt

Telepathic baristas streamline the ordering process.

John Meirowsky

Crows Coffee is a great local coffee house with good atmosphere and good selection of coffee and teas. The clientele is a diverse group of people from college students to business professionals.

Drew Gieseke

Friendly place with great coffee!

Steve Perry

This review is about their hot chocolate. The reason for two stars is that we actually got warm milk, thus missing the chocolate and sugar, yet this wasn't a mistake, they just thought they were making a hot chocolate. I know this is a coffee shop and I hope to give them another try for what they should do best. I hope they try their hot chocolate and either quit offering it or seriously do a better job. I did appreciate the decorative detail to the cream on top. The prices seemed really reasonable.

Eric Neuhauser

I frequent two of their three locations and both places consistently have the best "traditional cappuccino" in town. They have good breakfast burritos, but I'm not a fan of their baked goods.

Anita Breshears

I recently went a friend for coffee and a snack. His breakfast burrito made him sick and my quiche was very plain. I make better coffee at home.

Nitish Chaudhari

Undoubtedly one of the top coffee shops in Kansas City. This cafe tucked in 51st street includes local Kansas City customers and friendly baristas. The seats are often lined with UMKC students typing away. You will also see families that regularly visit with their excited children ready to sip their hot chocolate. I sincerely enjoy this location as it has traditional coffee house mixed ambience with the music ranging from The Fray to rap. The baristas and customers are always friendly, creating a pleasant welcoming environment. One of the coolest aspects of this coffee shop is the bathroom. The walls are blank and have writing written all over it from various customers ranging from Harry Potter quotes to philosophical ideas. It is fascinating and makes you want to spend an extra couple of minutes, pondering everyone's thoughts. Basically, don't forget your bathroom break when you visit and bring a sharpie! There's a newer location in Waldo that I will eventually try, but for now I am content with the ideal coffee shop.

Liliana Ramos

Cute lil place with patient baristas

Dave G

Simply the best coffee in Kansas City. The baristas are all professionals and consistently make amazing coffee.

G K

Loved this place!! Coffee amazing! Breakfast veggie burrito was so good! The place itself is very nice inside, service awesome and crowd very colorful. 5 stars!

Tre Uccellini

Lovely people, lovely atmosphere, and delightful tea and coffee.

Wayne Gassmann

Awesome service, great scones, my coworker and I's favorite morning stop.

Kelly Cannon

I stop in every morning when I'm in town. Good coffee, friendly staff and the best scones anywhere!!

Marie Gail Stratford

Located in the same place as the iconic Muddy's coffee shop, this newer version keeps the eclectic feel and hip vibe of Muddy's with an updated menu and better coffee. Great meet up place for business folks or college students.

Matt D

Solid coffee great service.

Lyle Keeton

Way better than competitors.

Samantha Hoyt

Good spot. Parking is a pain, but otherwise good.

Kendall Pearl

I go here almost every morning. Their coffee and customer service is always top notch. I suggest the americano and breakfast burrito. - They also open at 6am where most places in Westport don't open until 7am.

Bobbie Pennington

They are so nice in there! Great location, tasty pastries and breakfast sandwiches.

Jon Johnson

Kyle, Alice, Zach and team never steer you wrong on a great coffee here. They have pastries and other nibbles you can get as well. Very well run and great crew.

Dakotah D

Incredibly friendly staff who made it so easy for me to order when it was my first time. The Toddy is excellent and I ordered the weekend biscuits and gravy on the jalapeño biscuit - SO good! Definitely going back soon and looks like an excellent study spot.

Brennan Richey

I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a cozy atmosphere with exceptional coffee and great customer service. I will definitely be visiting again soon.

Will Lehotz

Crows coffee is a good location next to UMKC the service is okay and now they're starting to serve wine

JJ

Cute cozy little shop with really good coffee

Alissa Shirley

A great artisan latte, friendly staff, neighborhood environment. One of my favorite local places to get coffee.

Luca Petrie

A) How do you not know what pastries are in your case? B) When I ask for your smallest size, why make an 8 ounce and charge me for a 12 ounce? C) If I ask for almond milk, after you've already overcharged me, why are you now charging me an additional $.60 when the difference in drink prices is $.40??? I would've given you the two dimes and moved on but you had to make a big deal about almond milk being charged for the size of cup I was rung up for when I didn't order that size. Probably won't be back tbh - your staff is just incompetent.
