I stopped by One More Cup yesterday, but didn't notice the smell.  I did think it looked kinda like a grandma's house to some degree...the odd mismatched chairs and tables and kids table, etc.  I did love the photos on the walls and with a few tweaks I think it could morph into the hipper kind of feel that the owners probably desire.  I thought it was a decent spot that given time, and some adjustments to their atmosphere, could be a nice little Waldo coffee joint.  The coffee was good, there were newspapers laying around, and the owner was extremely friendly.  I wish them well, as Waldo needs places like this.

I welcome the new businesses to our neighborhood but would like to point out that we have not been coffee-less since Bob passed and the Wornall shop closed.  Linda's Winged cup at Gregory & Oak has been there for us for the past few years.  Linda is a great baker and provides fresh goodies every morning for those that are looking for some nourishment.  She has also been a venue for local artists to display their work on a monthly rotating basis...some fantastic, some not so fantastic but all providing a moment to observe others creativity and engage on a different level.  The new shops are an offering for some variety in fares but let's not abandon those that have been there all along.  dr

There are some who will. Seems the die hard Bush supporters inherently tend to pick corporate over local in their thinking.
I hope more and more people will make a concious choice to seek out the small local establishment and spend there, keeping the moneys in the communities rather that having it go out if state to corporate HQ's.

We just moved from the Plaza to Waldo, and thus far are loving it...definitely the right decision for us.  Yay, yard! 

I'm definitely pretty thrilled for various coffee options close by, as well.  I'm still learning various nooks and crannies and tucked away places to patronize, but thus far, I'm pretty much in love with Chelly's Cafe on 85th. 

This will be Coffee Girls second location...

but thus far, I'm pretty much in love with Chelly's Cafe on 85th. 

My wife and I just moved to Waldo in December, so we're loving all of the nearby places as well.  Besides Chelly's, what else have you found that you like?

I just noticed that signage for the Waldo Coffee Girls tonight, too. 

It's probably wrong to prejudge, having never gone to the Southwest Boulevard one, but I've never heard a single thing about the service that didn't involve the words "surly" or "unfriendly."  This is not enticing. Also, their website's logo says "Coffee Girl's." Smirk.

I did go to One More Cup on their grand opening day, and wow, the people running it were INCREDIBLY nice.  The coffee and baked goods were delicious and not a ripoff, but they do need to figure out more comfy seating/setup for a more cozy feel.  The people running it were definitely lovely, though, and that counts.

We went to One More Cup on a Wednesday evening last week 30 minutes before closing time and one woman there (not the owner) was rude to my two-year old daughter and me. Not sure I'll be back.

Weird.....they have always been super pleasant to me.  Which lady helped you?  Was it the one with half her head shaved and HUGE 1980s red eyeglasses?  She's....different....but always seemed nice.

Hey!  What do you mean by different!

Hmmm, did this girl formerly work at the LatteLand on the Plaza (Jefferson/48th-ish location), perchance, or is this just a uniform look in the KC barista circuit?
