Oh man, I've been going to Broadway for almost 20 years?!? Is that right? From reading books on the back patio to making friends on the sidewalk, it's always an interesting time.

Food:

Pleasant atmosphere and good coffee.

Food:

Love the coffee - but someone has to teach these guys and girls hospitality 101, and/or get them some happy pills. Very standoffish people behind the counter always. They're either totally miserable or socially inept. Never seen one of them smile, or say thanks. I support local - always will, I'll continue to buy my coffee there instead of SB. But come on...

Food:

Broadway Cafe is very hard to describe in one word. If you're a coffee addict, fiend, or even admirer - you have to try Broadway Cafe. They use beans that they, themselves, have roasted. If walk further north on Broadway Street, you'll find their roasting location as well (trust me, when you walk by it - you'll know it; the aroma of roasted coffee beans overwhelms you). Going back to the cafe, it's a different story altogether.

Environment:
5 Stars (*****)

Broadway Cafe is one of those places that you'll find that just about everyone goes to in Westport. Any stereotype, any type of person, regardless of age, gender, or personality. This is actually one of the more incredible things about the cafe; as you're prone to find a few people sitting around (outside on a nice day) enjoying the weather and their drink. Inside, you'll experience a rather laid back environment to the point that you'll enjoy every second of your experience.

Customer Service:
4 Stars (****)

Each time I go to the Broadway Cafe, I'm reminded that it's an independently owned location and that it's a local staple in the community. As I'm not that frequent of a customer, I get to watch as customers and employees speak to one another in a familiar manner. The staff have been dedicated and focused on customer service throughout it all, it seems. I haven't any gripe as it seems to be a fairly straight-forward process majority of the times for me (as I've not been there in the early mornings or busy afternoons).

Coffee:
5 Stars (*****)

Like I said, this is some delicious coffee. You won't see eight or nine boards of options as you would in a chain like Starbucks; here, you're paying for the quality of coffee. If you're the type that just drink Frappucinos from Starbucks, you might want to go in with a more open-mind when going into the Broadway Cafe. They do serve iced drinks and I highly recommend you try either their Hazelnut Mocha if that's your thing.

Price:
4 Stars (****)

Considering it's an independently owned location and it's a coffee cafe, I think the prices are fairly realistic. You're looking at similar prices to any chain, but the taste is far better. They do sell some "brewing tools" if you're thinking about starting to do cold-brew or french press at home. On top of that, they sell their beans/grinded beans for your personal use. Price-wise for these things are competitive or on-par with most retail locations.

Overall:
5 Stars (*****)

From the "feel" of the environment to the taste of their coffee as it hits my tongue, I would highly recommend at least trying Broadway Coffee. They offer snacks, cakes, and small luncheon-type foods as well (which I have not tried as of yet) in case you want to grab a bite to eat while sitting down. You can't really go wrong with Broadway Cafe if you're a coffee drinker; casual or "professional" (addict).

Best people watching in Kansas City, hands down! Especially when the weather is nice posting up in a chair on the sidewalk for a while is always worth it! I love their espresso, which is definitely traditional northern Italian style (nice and sweet) and in the summer I always get a to-go iced tea chaser. Broadway is a special place in KC for good reason!
