Coffee Shops

 Bear Necessities Coffee Bar Review While looking for a place to finish up my last few assignments of the summer semester, I stumbled across Bear Necessities Coffee Bar. I first noticed the cute bear logo displayed on their front window and was immediately intrigued. I decided to look at the reviews and was pleasantly surprised to find it had almost 5 stars on Google. All of the reviews described the shop as cozy and a great place to relax, read a book, or do some homework, so I knew it would be the right choice for the day.  As I pulled into the parking lot, I was surprised at how few people were there and how many parking spaces were available.I thought to myself, this could mean they aren't getting a great amount of business, but I was too excited about the close spot to worry too much.  It only took a short trek to the door, and once inside relief hit me like a ton of bricks. On a hot summer day like today, the air conditioning followed by the smell of dark roasted co...

  Black Dog Coffeehouse           In between school and work seemed like the perfect time to try another coffee house to tell you about! I took a look online and browsed a few different shops in the Overland Park area. Many of the shops looked nice, but Black Dog Coffeehouse piqued my interest immediately. The pictures online seemed to capture exactly what I was looking for, a small shop with a dimly lit calming atmosphere. It seemed like it would be a perfect place to relax, work on homework, and sip coffee. Upon arrival, I found the shop to be next to a bakery and a couple other businesses in a strip. The parking lot was pretty small for the amount of shops in the strip, so I struggled to find a close spot. Luckily, I drive a small car and I was able to fit in one of the more narrow spots. It was a short trek to the doors, but once inside the atmosphere is unmatched to any other shop I have visited. The interior is rustic with brick accents and old...

  Revocup Review      Hello fellow coffee enthusiasts! I visited a coffee shop this week that really piqued my interest; Revocup! This shop was recommended to me by one of my good friends, so I did something I don't usually do. I went in without reading the reviews. I decided to take my friend's word for it and go in blind, and I was not disappointed!           There are multiple locations all over the Kansas City area, however I visited the location in Overland Park on 135th St. When I pulled in, I was pleasantly surprised to find easy parking access. The shop is connected to a few other stores and businesses, which allowed for a large parking lot. I was super lucky to get front row parking as it wasn't too busy around 4:00 p.m. Once inside, the smell of freshly brewed coffee filled the air. I noticed the shop was fairly small with a rustic, retro vibe. This made the shop feel very homey and inviting. I enjoy finding coffee shops that d...
