Reviews for Equal Minded Cafe & Event Center in Kansas City, MO

It’s a bold statement to say one has “the best chai latte in Kansas City.“ However, I think equal minded café is clearly... a leading contender for this honor. Round that out with the best turkey and havarti sandwich I’ve ever had, staples like PB&Js-critical for any adult not wishing to adult today- and decor meant to challenge and inspire. I enjoy this neighborhood eatery! Read more

Pesto sandwich was the right choice! I will have to come back. The ambience in this place is peaceful, inspirational, and... enjoyable. Read more

I recently coordinated a wedding reception here & I couldn’t have been more happy with how it turned out. Don, the owner was... amazing & very helpful throughout the entire process. He was there for the food trucks who arrived during our time at thereception which made our day so much easier. He let the wedding party/set up crew in to work their magic & answered all theirquestions. At the end of the night he was still there to help make sure we did what was needed for him to open in the morningbright and early. His easygoing nature & communication was a dream as an event coordinator! If you need a warm inviting space, agood cup of coffee, an excellent sandwich, and good vibes choose Equal Minded Cafe you won’t be disappointed! Read more

Literally ALWAYS a great vibe in there. Very cozy and welcoming environment with good food and even better drinks. The owner and... staff is very helpful with recommendations and all are knowledgeable about what is going on locally. I even love the events theyhost!

Check out this special spot with many organic options and incredible energy of like minded people. This place is more than a... cafe, just ask. Delicious organic Matcha Latte and local sourdough bread. Highly recommended! Read more

Recently found out Troost was the hub for great coffee shops in Kansas City. My first visit and the energy was amazing. I love... asking for suggestions and the Barista made me a delicious mocha with almond milk served with a FRESH warm muffin that wasn’ttoo sweet. Very clean environment and the happiest most helpful staff. Can’t wait to come back on my next visit home! Read more

Equal Minded Café is worth your time, your attention, and your money. If not for the owner's whimsical banter and the... inviting, industrial ambiance, then certainly for the food which happens to be- might I add- some of the best café fare I'vehad in a long while. I would liken the food to something you could typically only find 10 or so blocks west of its location;however, the owner has landed right at the intersection of both happy AND healthy in a neighborhood where such is needed themost. Stepping into the café, you're immediately taken aback by its breadth-- expansive piping is exposed in the tall ceilingsand it is truly surprising just how airy it all feels. All of that space isn't gone to waste, rather, it is filled with anorganically homie, friendly energy. I'm instantly greeted by the owner who is generous, warm, and begins making recommendationsbefore I even have to ask for them. The selections are quaint and concise ranging from paninis to smoothies and teas. I foundmyself ordering the San Francisco Melt & an iced lavender coffee (a combination I customized from their decent selection ofsyrups). The sandwich consisted of roast beef, cheddar, & swiss on sourdough with a house made garlic aioli. I was greeted bythe familiar grill lines on the bread that I've seen on many a franchised sandwich but boy oh boy... This was no Panera ripoff.This was a sandwich only a family member could make-- melty, cheesy, crisp around the edges, the beef was juicy and tender;however, the real star of the show was the house made aioli. You won't find another sandwich like it AS GOOD as this one. Youjust won't. The coffee was the perfect accompaniment. Perfect balance of ice, cream, coffee, & lavender. I love that this spacedoubles as event space for the local community at an affordable rate. There are westward views of Troost which offers plenty ofsunlight and metropolitan verve. This place will be receiving much more of my business and it SHOULD be receivin Read more
