It was pretty gloomy this winter and yes, I did in fact visit two Cafe Equinox locations back to back. Let's get into it. First of all I like that this cafe is located amongst all the seating so it's less confusing how to find the greenhouse and where to sit. Loved that about this location. Secondly, the coffee is just as great as the other spot. Now let's get into the decor and ambiance as that is a lot of what these nursery cafes are about. While I will say the Shawnee location does have more foliage and is a bit more well woven into the landscape of the green house, I still really liked this spot. I liked how parts of it felt industrial and on the rainy day I was here I could see and hear the rain pattering on the greenhouse roof. I also really enjoyed sitting near some cacti and spent longer than I should have deciding if I should buy one on my way out. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place and I'm sure I'll be back!

Great place to spend time. The plants were beautiful and vibrant. The coffee was good. The barista didn't seem to have an abundance of knowledge about the whole bean offerings. The beans I got weren't what I was after, but they were good.

Cutest coffee shop… the atmosphere is so peaceful. Such a great idea to place a coffee shop in the middle of a nursery. Loved it, and the coffee was great as well. Definitely coming back every Sunday morning, it was so peaceful being out there.

This isn’t all year round. Imo they should remove this from google as a coffee shop location. Although the other Equinox location is near by is extremely frustrating to arrive here and find out there isn’t anything available here. Especially when you have little kiddos. This is at least the second time I’ve run into this. It’s hard to know the difference between the locations when you aren’t familiar with the area.

On a chilly and gray Midwest day, I don't know if it can get much better than sipping a crafted beverage (hot matcha latte for me) among the warmth and beauty of Family Tree's luscious plants!

We had a lovely experience here! The wait wasn't too long, although I imagine on a busier day it'd be a pretty long wait as it's a smaller locale. I had a traditional cappuccino and my husband had the barrel conditioned cold brew that's conditioned in J Rieger whiskey barrels then roasted. They were both good coffees, I love when I can find a traditional cappuccino that's done right. The cold brew that my husband got was super strong, they said they can only serve in 10 oz because it's so strong. He wasn't able to finish it, and I could only get a sip in. But I'll say, that sip was really good! The whiskey is forward , but too acidic for my taste. The ambiance is great too, it was such a cool experience for out of towners like ourselves!

What a wonderful place. Both locations are lovely. I happen to prefer the location on Neiman because the people there are very knowledgeable and friendly.

Lots of fun to grab a coffee inside Family Tree Nursery
Beautiful location with interesting seasonal drink offerings. This is a nice spot to visit even when it's chilly as the greenhouse is warm inside. Service is good but can be slower some days. Once you have your drink in hand stroll around or sit by the koi pond!

Absolutely loved the vibe of this cafe. This cafe is located inside the family tree nursery. I would highly recommend this place, cause who doesn't love to sip their coffee and have a nice scone in a garden? I gave it 4 stars because the cafe itself is quite small. The menu selection is small and can be a little pricey. But great overall!

Although this wasn't my first time at Family Tree, this was my first time at the cute little coffee shop inside! At first I was confused on where to go, I naturally assumed it would be in the indoor shop, but it was in the middle of the plants! This definitely added to the holistic hippie vibe it has going on! Even while standing in line + waiting for your order it almost feels like you aren't in Overland Park anymore! It feels plush + tropical + WARM!! The coffee itself was very delicious! I love the flavor of their beans and that it isn't overly sweet with the added flavor. Honestly, 10/10 and I am so excited to know I can sip on some coffee while admiring cute plant babies!!
