★ 3I recently visited this cafe and found it to be a pleasant experience overall.
The location is quite convenient, making it an easy spot to meet up with friends or enjoy a quiet moment alone.
The cafe offers a unique combination of a bakery and a pub, which adds to its charm and provides a variety of options for different tastes.
The prices are reasonable, which is always a plus, especially when you’re looking to enjoy a meal or a drink without breaking the bank. The atmosphere is inviting and conducive to good conversation, making it an ideal place to catch up with someone.
However, I found the coffee to be just okay, not quite meeting my personal expectations. -

★ 5Your experience will likely vary depending on the day/time you visit.
Saturday evening. Opera House was our Plan D - retrospectively, it should have been Plan B, maybe even plan A. After walking around River Market looking for a pre-dinner drink, multiple other places with nearly 1 hour waits, we came across Opera House.
I have been here for breakfast on bustling weekend days where this area is congested with eager farmer's market shoppers. Coffee lines are long. Food is reminiscent of diner food - it's expected, no signs promising more than that.
Prior to tonight, I haven't utilized the bar. When other places had hour waits, the Opera House bar welcomed us. Fair prices. Attentive service. A full bar. Quiet crowd, no yelling over each other. Ample seating around. An eclectic setting.
Really couldn't ask for more. -

★ 2The coffee was delicious. However, the restaurant wasn’t busy at all on Sunday morning, yet it still took 45 minutes to prepare a simple chorizo sandwich and potatoes dish. Unfortunately, that kind of wait time doesn’t justify the $15-20 price tag.

★ 3I used to love this spot and the drinks are still amazing, but the customer service keeps me from coming back. My most recent visit was honestly disappointing. I felt like every request was clearly an inconvenience based on the reactions I got.
I get that everyone has off days, but this has been a consistent issue here. It really takes away from an otherwise great place. I’d love to come back more often, but I wish the service matched the quality of the coffee. -

★ 5I’ve walked by this place for 15 years and always thought it was just a tiny corner spot. I went in today with a friend who recommended it bc she loves it and it is HUGE inside! Multiple levels with loads of diff seating, a unique vibe for KC and I love it. The menu for food and drinks were massive (it was a bit overwhelming bc they had everything and I wanted it all: smoothies, teas, shakes, cocktails etc). It’s in the perfect spot with street parking right outside and just across the street from thr main hub of Rivermarket! I’ll def be back here to hang out and it seems like it would have a great night time vibe too!
Love the view of the city from here too.
