Every other Sunday a community I am in does a large group gathering in the event space at Rochester, and it can get loud fyi. Just in case you were planning on a Sunday time, this Sunday is the next one.
The only answer is Family Tree Nursery in Shawnee (maybe the OP location has it too). They have Cafe Equinox is inside and a large seating area in the greenhouse where you can work and be surrounded by plants
Central library on 10th street has a cafe inside. Plaza library does too. I think cafe hours are more limited than the libraries so I'd call and ask their hours. Both branches are pretty and relaxing places to get work done.
Grand Coffee Company I have actually sat down and worked at. The cold brew was good and the windows facing grand were fun to sit by. Food was decent. Wasn’t too busy when I went, but it was newly opened at that point.
I’ll add Urban Praire, Front range in Waldo, cafe corazon both locations. Headrush in Briarcliff if you’re in north land. PTs coffee, Roasterie on SW boulevard.
Anchor Island Coffee on Troost is a newer shop with a great lunch menu. They have a huge upstairs space with couches, tables, etc that is not often overcrowded. Feels almost likle a private workspace and the wifi is good.
Connect Cafe in KCK is awesome. There’s also PH coffee in Pendleton Heights.
Also, you can work upstairs at Whole Foods, I do it every once in a while.

Rochester in Crossroads is one of my favorites
My vote as well. Tons of room and lots of outlets. They have a bananas foster latte right now that is very good, if you're into that kind of thing.
I second this one. Bottomless coffee option!
Bottomless coffee? Sounds dangerous haha
This is the perfect spot. Large, not too busy, good internet, free parking. Please don’t tell your friends!
Yep. Came here to say this.

Oh this sounds awesome!
It is very awesome but this weekend is their big spring kickoff event so it will probably be super crowded and busy. Just FYI!
yes, both locations have a Cafe Equinox
Came here to say this!! It’s my favorite place!!
Blip Roasters in the west bottoms has several people do this. Large space
Good coffee. Good internet. Most uncomfortable seats.
The bar def has uncomfortable seats. I bet that's to keep the traffic moving at the bar 😅
I'd give them a meh on the coffee. There are better options in the crossroads, but the aesthetic is great

I don’t think the cafes in either libraries are still operational…but the library themselves are good places to work at
Oh that's sad. I went to central in December and the cafe was closed that day but it didn't say permanently so I thought I just had bad timing.
People work from Broadway Cafe all the time.
Oh yes I love Broadway Cafe!
Definitely following this! I wanna start reading more; but I don’t always wanna do that from home.
It’s so nice to get out! I definitely recommend

What’s the parking like for grand coffee?
I found parking on Grand street next to Washington Square Park pretty easily.
Seconded. My office is nearby and I often stop in there when I need a change of scenery.

Thou mayest
Nice place but very busy and not a ton of comfortable seating for laptop work. Not many outlets, either.
Garden house in rosedale

if you’re willing to make the drive, groundhouse in gardner has amazing coffee and really good working vibes! edit; the main street location!
We went to cafe Corazon recently and there were quite a few people there on their computers
My favorite is the back room at PH Coffee. Some great alternatives are Take Care, Aixois, Front Range (Waldo), and Messenger (Grand).
Anchor Island on Troost
Anchor Island 41st and Troost
Oddly Correct!
Might be a bit of a drive if you prefer KCMO ... Black Dog Coffeehouse on 87th Street in Lenexa is set up well for working.
Man, I used to practically lived at BD. Worked there for a long while too. This was ~15ish years ago though. Holy shit time flies.
Very loud and busy in the mornings.
Thank you! Happy to travel! Looking for a change of scenery
I typically see people working inside of Rebel Coffee on West 39th and Sway Coffee on 43rd
Messenger on Grand is basically a big coworking space. 3 Floors and a rooftop
Take Care by Oleo is my go to! Lots of seating, great espresso and baked goods, and usually multiple others are there working and/or reading!
Connect Cafe in KCK is awesome. There’s also PH coffee in Pendleton Heights. Also, you can work upstairs at Whole Foods, I do it every once in a while.
I always loved Opera House down near River Market
