“ Our favorite coffee shop. Please give them a try you won't regret it. ”
“ Parking lot on north end, east entrance leads you to church and you take stairs down, west entrance takes you straight to the coffee shop. Lots of seating options, service was great. They let us test some beagles and checked in with us throughout our time. Latte was good. ”
“ Love the people and this place. This place offers so much!!! - tea iced or hot, coffee and coffee drinks, sandwiches, waffle bowls ... just a few things. They offer so much to the community! Many groups meet here. Book clubs, neighborhood groups and more. There is a gift shop and small book shop as well. This is so much more than a coffee shop!

“ My Husband and I are staying at an Airbnb in Liberty, Missouri. The owners run a very cute and special coffee shop right down the road. We were treated to coffee this morning as a wedding gift! I also ordered the avocado toast. What a phenomenal experience! Make sure to stop in when you are passing through! ”
“ Great service! Great food, and amazing drinks! And it is so calm and so nice in there, it really brings that home feeling, i recommend coming here, whether on a trip or if you live in liberty! ”
“ Nice place to chill with a good cup of black coffee! I loved the traditional/cathedral organ and choir music. Light enough to be only background music so was nice. LOTS of books, but many are for the church library. The used books have great prices. Thanks! ”
“ Such a great find! Went for the First Friday flight of 3 drinks. So tasty! DEFINITELY WILL BE BACK! It’s in a church basement and the proceeds go to support the church. Great atmosphere, food was delicious! So many options for drinks. Staff and service was exceptional, you won’t be sorry you came! ”
