It’s A Grind in Overland Park, KS – Coffee Shop Review

At around 11 am as I walked in the front door I was greeted by a young lady behind the counter with a smile. There were no other customers to be seen. Though, given the time of day this was not surprising. I order a 16 oz coffee, double espresso and a bagel with cream cheese at the recommendation of my barista. There were 10 different self serve coffees to choose from, I chose Kenya. Moments later a less than enthused but still polite young man handed me my double espresso. I sat down next to the fireplace with my coffee, espresso and laptop (they have free wifi). As I listened to the relaxing music and glanced at the inviting environment the barista delivered my bagel and espresso to my table. The bagel was warm and delicious. The espresso was burnt/old tasting with a very bitter bite. The coffee was good and had a floral aroma with fruity overtones. As I sat, catching up on twitter and emails, I saw an elderly man come in and sit at a table. The young lady that greeted me walked over and delivered coffee to his table and stood and talked to him, for what had to of been at least 10 minutes. As people started coming in for lunch, there was a small stirring of about 10 people, it was obvious that they were regular customers and felt at home in this environment. After the lunch rush I started to clean up my table in order to leave and the barista came over and helped me.
