What’s the best coffee shop in the Kansas City area? Tell us. Special to The Star

We love coffee all year long. But that warm mug is especially enticing now that the Kansas City skies are dumping snow all over us.

Which leads to our question: What’s the best coffee shop in the Kansas City area? The place that brews a transcendent cup of joe, be it a dark espresso or a frothy pumpkin spice latte. The place that also excels at all the other stuff: delectable pastries, comfy chairs, good vibes.

Tell us your favorite coffee shop in the form below by noon Feb 4. (Or send an email to kcq@kcstar.com.) We’ll take the submissions and brew them into our upcoming Kansas City’s Best Coffee Shop Bracket.

This form is closed. We received more than 900 submissions in the open window. Stay tuned for the next bracket update.
