Equal Minded

I absolutely LOVE Equal Minded! I was able to try their new breakfast menu. The Keep It Simple sand-which was perfect, they even got the fresh pico on point! Definitely will be back ❤️

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!

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!

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’t too sweet. Very clean environment and the happiest most helpful staff. Can’t wait to come back on my next visit home!

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've had 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 the most.

Stepping into the café, you're immediately taken aback by its breadth-- expansive piping is exposed in the tall ceilings and it is truly surprising just how airy it all feels. All of that space isn't gone to waste, rather, it is filled with an organically homie, friendly energy.

I'm instantly greeted by the owner who is generous, warm, and begins making recommendations before I even have to ask for them. The selections are quaint and concise ranging from paninis to smoothies and teas. I found myself ordering the San Francisco Melt & an iced lavender coffee (a combination I customized from their decent selection of syrups).

The sandwich consisted of roast beef, cheddar, & swiss on sourdough with a house made garlic aioli. I was greeted by the 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. You just won't.

The coffee was the perfect accompaniment. Perfect balance of ice, cream, coffee, & lavender. I love that this space doubles as event space for the local community at an affordable rate. There are westward views of Troost which offers plenty of sunlight and metropolitan verve.

This place will be receiving much more of my business and it SHOULD be receiving yours in the VERY near future.
