A cup of coffee served at a local coffee shop in Wichita, KS

Nothing beats having a great cup of coffee in a cozy and comfortable coffee shop. The whole experience inspires relaxation if you’re on your own, and conversation if you go with someone. In Wichita, no matter what part of town you’re in, there is an excellent coffee shop right around the corner. Here are some of the best places to enjoy a cup of coffee.

1. Espresso To Go Go

Espresso to Go Go is a small shop with a bright atmosphere and fantastic coffee. The fun decor includes a giant mirrored disco ball and a life-size winged unicorn. If you are in the know, you can request the secret menu and order something other than the usual. The Sid Vicious Seven Shots is one of the drinks on the secret menu and comes with seven shots of espresso and six sugars. If you aren’t up for that much caffeine, the Vietnamericano is a good choice and has sweetened condensed milk and espresso.

2. Reverie Coffee Roasters

Reverie Coffee Roasters has friendly baristas, a relaxed environment,  good coffee drinks, and even a bar. Make sure to try the caramel latte or a pour-over Ethiopian. If you don’t drink milk, you can get cashew milk instead, and there are both hot and iced drinks. If you get hungry while drinking your coffee, there are breakfast sandwiches, sweet treats, muffins, scones, and more. You can also choose from a variety of teas. Seating is both inside and out with a nice area outside where you can people watch.

3. R Coffee House

Try R Coffee House for a fun and funky atmosphere, good food, and excellent coffee drinks. This is the place to go if you want to sit back and sip on some coffee while you listen to live music. Make sure to try the Mayan which comes with cayenne pepper to make it a little spicy, or get the Ying Yang or the Funky Monkey. The coffee drinks are always delicious no matter what you get, and the food is also on point. The coffee has a good amount of flavor, and the espresso is always nice and strong. 

4. Milkfloat

Milkfloat on Douglas Ave in Wichita has great coffee and much more. The Onyx Columbian pour-over is always a great choice.  It has great flavor without any bitterness. In addition to the coffee, the pastries and treats at Milkfloat are worth the trip. The home-made biscuits are crumbly and made fresh every day, and if you get the sausage biscuits and gravy, you are in for a treat. The Thin Mint pie is also a great choice to go with your coffee, but you have to go in during Girl Scout cookie season to get it. 

These are some of the best coffee shops in the Wichita area. Whether you want just a good cup of coffee, if you like to get a strong espresso or a sweet latte, you can satisfy your coffee cravings.
