Friendly Bean Coffee — Restaurant in Kansas City

The very first time I went to Friendly Bean Coffee was back in August 2020, and I thought it was excellent. I loved their coffee, drinks, and went their sometimes ever since the first time I tried Friendly Bean. The menu at Friendly Bean has a wide variety of options for beverages rather they are made with coffee or not, and also baked goods & breakfast foods. Friendly Bean Coffee also has limited-time and seasonal specials which can come in many different colors. The thing that I like from Friendly Bean the most is their Frappes, which are beverages blended with malt powder, and the Frappe drinks taste very similar to ice cream milkshakes from fast food restaurants and diners. I have also had their hot Raspberry Mocha and one of their smoothies, and both things tasted delicious too.

Despite the long line at Friendly Bean Coffee, the place has really good service every time me and my mom order their drinks at the drive-through. According to photos of other customers, Friendly Bean Coffee has updated their menu not too long ago. There is also a second location in the Woodneath Library Center near Liberty, MO. If customers are wanting to know what the best coffee shop in Kansas City is, I would highly recommend visiting Friendly...

I cannot share what their drinks or food is like, but I can say that the workers and the manager there were so kind! My fellow high school teachers and I were on a scavenger hunt during a professional development. We needed to trade a paper clip for other "better" items. We went to several businesses, but the last place we went was here at Friendly Bean Coffee. The employees working at the time called their manager to see what they could give us. I thought maybe we could get a few coupons to bring back to our staff. However, the manager told the employee to give us 100 $10 coupons to share with our staff!!!! I could not believe how generous they were. I am so happy to see a business willing to support educators because the places we went before this were unwilling to give us more than one coupon worth $10 alone. This business clearly cares about us and our community, and I will definitely be spreading the word that people need to be taking their business here! Thank you for caring and showing support!

P.S. the brownies looked sooooo delectable while we were...

This place is my go to coffee shop. It's small and quaint, and the staff are incredibly friendly. They get to know you and there are many regular customers I see everyday here. The coffee is priced greatly, the taste is superb. They roast their own beans and have a good bakery selection to choose from as well. Waiting for nicer weather to try out their patio to sit on.

They have a fast wifi in house anyone can use and they have a desktop anyone can use as well. They have some older furniture inside to sit on. The only thing I wish they would improve upon is the furniture. Everything is pretty old and beaten up and the location sure could use a face lift! Not taking any stars away because I realize that's not cheap to do and this is a smaller local coffee shop.

I would still absolutely recommend this place to anyone for a great cup of Joe! Make sure you get the reward card and get a free every 10...
