I tried out Third Space Coffee for the first time today, while I was killing some time in Bonner Springs.
This little coffee shop gets 5 stars for the seating and environment alone. I go to so many coffee shops that have quality stuff, but the seating is cold and uncomfortable. A coffee shop should NOT just have tables and chairs. Third Space has a couch, several high tops with assorted barstools and benches, regular tables, booth tables, rocking chairs, group tables, and more. My favorite is the wall desk looking out the back window with 2 cushioned bar stools. They also have a kids section with some toys and a mini picnic table. I actually feel comfortable hanging out in here and working, and that makes this place a gem.
I ordered a Cafe Mocha, and it was delicious. Props to them for using Messenger Espresso. The prices are decent, with this cup being $4 for 12 oz. They also have a pretty robust food menu, although I didn't order anything this time.
The wifi is open and free. There were a few disconnection/speed issues, but I won't judge too harshly this first time.
The only unpleasant thing about this visit was a woman at a nearby table listening to a Christian sermon at full volume. Pretty distracting! :)
Definitely will come here again if I'm...
Read moreA lady at another coffee shop recommended this place. Said the vibe is very nice. The vibe is indeed different - open space seating with larger couches and table towards the back. There is a nook with bookcase as well. Merchandise includes baseball caps with the Third Space name/logo; they even have baby onesies! The drive from my Lenexa KS hotel to Bonner Springs where this coffee shop is located was very scenic, took 45 minutes at 8:30am on a weekday, along one lane countryside rolling roads. Just what I needed for an introspective drive before leaving for the airport after 8 days stay in Kansas. This trip is my first to see a midwestern state, and am glad it couldn’t have been better than Kansas. I love it here, I now know why my boyfriend Matt Dz*z was born and raised to be such a wonderful downright gentleman. Third Space (which I found out was aptly named to mean third space aside from your family, your school/close institution) coffee shop has the offerings of really great coffee concoctions. I had an iced pumpkin spice with foam latte. It was as delicious as it looked. I also ordered their sausage, cheese and potato burrito. It was served hot albeit I got it to go. It was hearty and delicious. This shop is truly the...
Read moreIt's very rare that I find a coffee shop while traveling I hate to leave. We left Indiana for Kansas over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. While we only spent a few hours in Third Space, I have firmly placed it on my top-five coffee houses of all time.
The atmosphere is perfect. It's not too rustic, not too bougie, not too hipster, it's just pleasant. There isn't loud music blaring, the smells are wonderful, and it was a space built to sit it—though you could easily grab a cup and go if that's what you need.
The staff are the best out of any place I've found. Kind, direct, helpful, knowledgeable, and truly willing to go above and beyond any request you might have. In particular, I left a jacket there by accident and they shipped it back to Indiana the next day. I offered to pay the shipping and they refused—you just don't find people like that anymore!
The coffee was delicious. My wife's family & I enjoyed a varied selection of their brews. The drinks were fruity, earthy, and remarkably low on acidity.
If you're near Bonner Springs and you don't stop in at Third Space, you're depriving yourself of a pleasant experience. We'll be stopping in each and every time we return that way on the...
