    Quaint downtown coffee shop. Just what every town needs for locals and visitors to relax for a bit and enjoy a good book or game with friends.

    I was driving from KC to Hutchinson and was in need of some caffeine when I pulled off the highway and ventured into downtown Emporia. I ordered a 4 shot drink called Frank's Crowbar; exactly the boost to get me down the road and to hike around the Tall Grass National Reserve for a bit.
    The next day on my return trip back to KC, I stopped in again and ordered an Irish Iceberg cold and blended.
    Both visits included very friendly male baristas, great drinks and a cool environment. See you next time I'm traveling down I-35.

    Was in town for a conference at Emporia State and jumped in to take advantage of their free WiFi. I was welcomed by a kind gentleman who showed me their password and didn't mind that I was just going to sit there for a little bit to get some work done. I ended up getting a vanilla coconut latte and a raspberry white chocolate scone, which he said he baked not too long ago.

    My latte was tasty, although I would have preferred more of vanilla and coconut syrup. The scone was wonderful, fluffy with whole raspberries and chunks of white chocolate. The shop was clean, comfortable, and had tons of fun things to look at. I was sat at a table and directly faced a wall of people message from people who have come into town over the years to participate in the Dirty Kanza. Others came in and quietly chatted about comics or played board games. This seems like a nice place for locals and visitors to come together.

    Wanted coffee, needed coffee.  So glad you are here!   Just another wonderful example of small town Kansas and their love of coffee and food.

    Cozy, clean and it has good coffee and scones. Nice thick toilet paper too. That means something, doesn't it?
