Reviews of Crows Coffee Waldo (Coffee Shop)

Erin Blythe

Best breakfast burrito and tasty cold brew coffee. The staff has a great attitude and there is plenty of indoor/outdoor seating. Great place to sit and chat, work or wait to bump into someone you know!

Korey Parker

Great space good service. Unique experience, so you need to go more than once to nail down your specific taste.

Amanda Rhodes

This is a great local coffee shop. They serve my favorite local coffee, Messenger. They also sell bags of it which is great so I can get it so close to home. I always get great service when I go to Crows. I love the openness of the shop too. It's a great place to sit and what the world go by.

John Jantsch

Great local coffee shop. Veggie burrito is my go-to. You can also grab a beer or glass of wine and hang out. Lots of regulars and open mic nights on Fridays

Dave Newkirk

Coffee is great, location and open air seating are perfect... add in the maple bacon scone, and this might be my new favorite kc coffee spot

Taylor Peterson

Great vibes. Glad it's warm and cool enough to have the windows open!

AnnaLeigh Wessling

Great place to meet up and just chat with someone or get some work done. Coffee was excellent and pretty quick for how busy they were

Joshua

Great little coffee shop!

David B

I greatly enjoy all of Crows locations and this is the most recent one that I tried. Tasty coffee and great food.

Christopher Schaaf

Fantastic coffee and even better people!

Leo Hardesty

Atmosphere is nice, coffee sucks. Typical hipster place where they care more about making latte art than the taste of the coffee.

greyson twist

Great coffee, great breakfast burito

James Davenport

I adore the chocolate chai! Great atmosphere and people!

Isaac Allen

Love both locations. Solid coffee shop.

Charles Sanders

Always a welcoming staff. On the weekend the biscuits and gravy are a good comfort, very much like the proper homemade. Then add the open air when the windows are pulled back, easy place to hang out.

James Glaschek

Great coffee shops, good little eats, and friendly staff. The owner, Zach, is a badass. If you happen to catch him there make sure to say hi. As far as the drinks go, you gotta try a dirty chocolate chai!!

Micah Hoffman

I absolutely love every interaction/experience I've had at Crows! From the smell of the freshly roasted messenger coffee being roasted to the scientific/artistic deliver of every third-wave coffee concoction! They also supported TEDxUMKC and other local community events that I love!

Frankie OnCall

Good. Friendly.

Thomas VanWart

Wonderful patio, friendly staff, great coffee!

Naomi Rider

Open Mic night and trivia nights are so fun! Keep an eye out for these events

Ketan Gunjal

Almost like a hip Starbucks.

Tim Neaves

Great coffee, super meat up place, super baked goods, nice staff, and great cofffee

Kellie Gillespie

Great coffee and breakfast burritos

Alley Stonestreet

Dropped in for much needed studying, got a delicious iced chocolate chai. They have plugs, open windows for distractions (if needed) and snackers to get you through. Music was a bit loud, but who cares. Parking can be tricky because of the overall busyness of the area (other restaurants, hair salon and bars on the block) but who cares. I'll be back for another round of studying.

Cheryl Pratt

Always the best, friendly atmosphere

Andrea Emberton

Love the staff, love the products, love the Messenger Whole Bean coffee sold here! Just splendid!

David Baker

Local coffee shop of high quality. Too noisy, though.

Christa Hinkle

I have not been to the other locations, but this one has a very chill atmosphere that was easy to relax in. I had iced coffee which was very delicious. My companions had a croissant that was warmed and shared. It was amazing and warming is recommended.

Kevin Tipton

Expensive Blueberry Muffin. Frozen/Dehydrated Blueberries. Dry w/o sugar on top basic muffin at best. Friendly Staff. High Energy. Cozy Atmosphere open space concept. Lots of natural light. $5 Quiche (Worth it!). Delicious. Fluffy.

Mackenzie Clark

Coffee is fine, but the WiFi has only worked once out of the last four times I’ve been :/

Cory Tuck

One of the top coffee shops in KC. Serving Messenger coffee. Recommend the Gibraltar or Traditional Macchiato

Carissa Shaffer

Great coffee, awesome staff!

Austin Brown

Fantastic coffee! One of the best cafe au laits I've had in a very long time! Staff was nice, but the wait was a little long. It was evening when I went, though, so I wasn't in a hurry. I'll be back again if I'm in the area and wanna grab a coffee with someone.

NightDeBris Roman

Rebekah Schultze

Jared Palan

Great coffee shop. Try the chirzo breakfast burrito.

Paula Green

Lovely coffee shop. Bright well lit space with a nice patio area. Busy but lots of seating areas. Delicious coffees and other foods.

Brian Freeman

Place is clean, and nice inside. Staff always seems pleasant. The coffee isn't half bad either.

Marshall Guthrie

Fantastic, comfortable space. Fairly priced and excellent espresso drinks with enough options to keep any level of coffee nerd satisfied. And today's Playlist is spot on.

Tara Brown

Chocolate chai was delicious. The atmosphere is pleasant as well.

Kag Gak

This is our second favorite coffee shop in Kansas City metro. We rarely drive by Waldo without stopping in

John Towns

Great coffee and music performances

Brett Vaughan

Great space, people...and open mic night..

Jayme Cable

Excellent

csalyer

Nice, breezy open air seating. Hot coffee..

Crystal Lewis

Great experience! The baristas were friendly and professional. I ordered my usual cold brew to go and a cortado/Gibraltar for here. Everything was perfect and I didn't have to wait for long. There was enough seating for my friend and I to grab a table.

Katerina Wong

It was ok, nothing spectacular. I think the shop would be lovely in the summer time though, because the windows (walls?) could open. The baristas were nice enough and the coffee was ok. All the necessary things for studying (wifi, coffee) The outlets were a little hard to find and there weren't a lot of snacks or pastries for purchase, but it might have just been the time of day that I went

Drewsufer

Great coffee - go for the cafe au lait (steamed milk)

Donnie Spears

Great pastries. Awesome drips.

randel robbins

Top notch service, and world class espresso.

John Camey

This was an accidental discovery. Nice little coffee shop in Waldo, next to the Boru ramen restaurant. Service was friendly. Setup was comfortable. My latte was delicious. The crowd of patrons seemed likeable enough. Music was a little loud and questionable, but not a deal breaker. WiFi worked well. I'm pretty sure I'll be back there, again, at some point. You should check it out, too!

Rita K

Comfortable atmosphere, friendly baristas, they make my cappuccino the way I like it! And I'm able to sit and study for a while.

Angela Mitchell

Lovely service

Jessica King

Good coffee. Staff could be friendlier.

Cameron Piercy

Excellent coffee shop with decent amount of space. Lots of windows and the inside opens to a patio when the weather is nice. I've been here to write and I would recommend the space. Could use a few more outlets--but what place couldn't.

Kim Doran

Love this LOCAL coffee shop. Yummy eats and coffee. Great staff. Wine and beer too, bonus!

Amanda Gatten

Great coffee joint!

Becky Schubkegel

Great local coffee shop with comparable prices and specialized coffee drinks. I appreciate that the menu isn’t chock full of a gajillion different options that makes it overwhelming. Their quiche and pastries are awesome. Not a full meal menu, but good for a quick bite or treat with your coffee. I love their sliding windows that open up in good weather. Can get busy, but worth it.

XQSlink

Good people... the staff seemed genuinely interested... The coffee was pretty good the quiche was delicious

Zach Burton

Great coffee and tea options, great location and atmosphere

Bryan Boccard

Nice atmosphere, but the coffee isn't amazing. Rather bland and served lukewarm.

Laurice Hardy

I love this place it's cool.

Mark McGonigle

Wonderful local venue for coffee, music, and community

Deadcaper 2000

Easy access. Great atmosphere. Excellent coffee and wonderful baristas

Amy Gallagher

Great open area with sliding doors. Service was awesome! Great atmosphere for working on your laptop and getting things accomplished - check off your to do list! The matcha latte was great. My only complaint (nothing to do with the coffee shop itself) would be that smoking outside ends up inside when the doors are open, but thankfully that didn't happen often

Frank Kaffenberger

It's ok

George Throener

Awesome Waldo neighborhood shop

Ron Fields

This is a great shop. The coffee is good, but the pastries are amazing! The cheese and berries Danish will make you a repeat customer.

KC Endurance

Best coffee shop in KC

K Tribolet

Great coffee. Friendly staff.

Matt Peppes

Great coffee and great atmosphere! This is the perfect place to hold a meeting or open up your laptop and knock out some work.

Elizabeth Jameson

Good coffee, excellent pastries, light-filled space, pleasant staff.

Frankie Bellucci

It's a great place to sit and visit

Amy Schmitz

Everything was good. Nothing exciting. Quick service.

Andrew Hunter

Low-key best breakfast burrito/coffee place in the city.

Ladonna Lechner

Good coffee. Everyone is smiling, good service. I'll go back soon.

JeanHelene Davis

Pastries always fresh - several varieties of coffee daily

Corinne Corley

Lovely place and great coffee.

Ruthie Becker

Coffee is delish and great music

Sarah Noakes

I come here all the time to get the London Fog, which is an earl grey tea latte. I am in love with it. The prices here are steep, but the bathroom graffiti is inspiring. You take the good with the bad, and end up with a trendy coffee shop that you can't help but like, especially if youre a basic b* like me.

Steve Daniels

Oust and in place for Coffee and to Gather!!

Kaleea Van Mol

Chill service and a really great environment, I really enjoyed how much natural light is welcome inside during the day.

Chrystal Tatum

Great coffee shop. Love the breakfast burritos. Gets a little packed at times but tables move quick.

Ckon Zine

I love the space and open mic nights. Coffee needs an upgrade. I like a variety of offerings from different roasters. Messenger coffee is overrated and lacks a robust flavor profile.

Al Henager

Nice neighborhood experience along with good coffee!

j. koch.

Good music and staff except for Joe schneblin aka Moe shinola who sucks and is rude af

Allyson Anderson

I stopped by here after eating next door and I'm happy I did. I got an iced Carmel and vanilla macchiato and it was SO good. It wasn't overly sweet like Starbucks is. It was a perfect balance.

Lelouch Valentyne

A great small cozy local coffee shop. Top notch roasts and lattes, a great selection of baked goods, as well as a great layout. The store front has a facade that's partial sliding glass walls which open to the patio, great for summer days and cool spring afternoons. The staff is kind and knowledgeable about their craft.

John Weaver

Always happy when I'm passing this area, just because of crows coffee☕ Good coffee and friendly people. Relaxed atmosphere. Plenty of seating, and I love the large open windows in the spring, and summer.

Lorin Olsen

The coffee is always good here. The barristas are friendly. And every cup comes with froth art. The food that they carry is good - but not great. And the menu is positively Spartan.

Ann Alexander

Happy, efficient service, great coffee - even the drip, and blueberry muffins with a crunchy (some sugar may have been involved!) top, chock full of blueberries.

Tim Koster

I used to enjoy dropping by Crows' first location up near UMKC for their great coffee and atmosphere and was glad to hear they'd be opening their second location practically right around the corner from me. This location has the same warm and welcoming vibe. Their Ethiopian drip coffee is my favorite and get a homemade poptart while you're there too!

Christie S

A cozy place with great staff!

Mike Criswell

Fantastic coffee

Nick H.

They have a rotating selection of Messenger coffee, which is fantastic for those who haven't tried their roasts. They also have a decent selection of scrumptious baked goods to pair the coffee with.

David Pamperin

Comfortable atmosphere. My chai tea was excellent(most places screw it up)

james glass

Only the most amazing coffee shop you'll ever go to. The baristas are friendly and well versed in their craft. They also serve booze options for those days when coffee just isn't enough. The in house made pastries are amazing as well. The owner Zach is incredibly friendly and will always make time to say hello. So, if you're looking for a great local coffee shop in the Waldo area, or in the UMKC area, OOOOOOR in the coming soon to Redbridge area you found it. Make sure to get the chocolate chai. It is

Eric Neuhauser

Hands down, the best "traditional cappuccino" in town.

Sean Bradley

OK coffee, but seemed more bland than Starbucks or Roasterie.

Dave G

Easily the best coffee shop in the Kansas City metro. The coffee is on point made by baristas who take pride in their precision in making espresso drinks. Crows also provide a very great environment and provide a place for communities to gather and form. It is an excellent place to meet a friend for a Gibraltar or nurse a cold brew while working on the laptop. It is a solidly well ran growing local business.

Stephanie Hinkle

Clean, tasty, fresh pastries, WINE.

Jessica Corsi

Really good coffee and pastries, nice atmosphere, helpful staff.

The people that both work there and have coffee seem to really be very nice people. My service was prompt and correct. The pricing seems to be in line with other coffee shops that I frequent. Parking was easy. I would definitely go back.

Niq Howard

I love the cappuccino here. All the staff is always friendly and helpful. The cinnamon rolls and pour overs are also served with tlc. Great study environment and a great place to visit with friends over coffee.

2 Sisters At

Good coffee. Nice service. The day I went there were musicians playing late afternoon, so I sat outside. Might want to check if you're looking for a place to study, read or work.
