Thou Mayest - River Quay - Cafe in Kansas City - 412 Delaware St B, USA

Walking up to Thou Mayest you already know it’s going to be a vibe. The atmosphere is great. The perfect place to catch a coffee alone, with friends or for business. Then there’s the coffee itself. I went kinda basic, but even on basic drinks you can taste the difference. My latte was made perfectly! I also splurged on one of their cinnamon apple pop tarts which was super good. Trying that cinnamon roll next! Ps. They have a unique cereal bar which is kinda fun so if you’re a cereal lover this is your spot!

The lavender and bee pollen latte was delicious. Their decaf americano was Laos one of the best, very low acidity. The seating area is weird and limited. Lots of people were hoarding their booths, it could’ve fit 4 people but was taken over by 1 person.

I happened to go when there was only one person working so it was fairly slow, but the vibes were wonderful and the whole store is very aesthetic. I had the Harvest Moon latte which was a PSL but not as overly sweet. All in all it was a great experience!

The atmosphere is a perfect blend of curated kitsch with a fishing vibe. I met a designer friend here for coffee ☕️ & scones, and we agreed that Thou Mayest nailed their River Quay aesthetic. The seating vignettes are comfy & semi-private. Some spaces are designated with river rock, others by an indoor wooden "shelter." This is a terrific place to work, gossip & and get your caffeine on. I'm looking forward to coming in the evening when I'm back up the hill in River Market. What? Coffee at night? Plu--ease. They have a fully stocked 🍸 bar, too.

I love this coffee shop. Highly recommend. The coffee is great, there's a good selection of pastries, snacks, and non-coffee beverages. There's a cereal bar and booze(!), and their chai latte is dumb good; best I've ever had. I wish they had a gluten free pastry option or two, but we can't have it all in this world.

I would love to give this place a better rating but every single time I come here they ask me if it's to go or to stay. I tell them for here. Then they give me a to go cup. For me, I order this way for 2 reasons. Primarily is that it's better for the environment. Secondly, it's more enjoyable to drink out of an actual coffee cup. To me, it affects the taste, it's pleasant to see the latte art on top (or even just the way the milk sits on top). All of that is a big part of the experience at a cafe that certainly has invested in it's atmosphere but seems to still neglect some really simple but core components. I think I've been here like 10 times now and only once have they gotten this right. Attached a picture of my sad looking latte. 🤷‍♀️

We have always loved Thou Mayest and this location is beautiful! We had the immersion brew and the Spirit of KC cocktail. Quite delicious! For anyone needing a drink of nearly any sort this is the spot… plenty of seating and just an all around beautiful spot.

Stopped by for a coffee, and this place has a great vibe! It was very busy, but was in and out quickly. The cashier and barista were so friendly and my latte was wonderful. Next time I’m in the area, I will have to make another stop. Thanks!
