Second Best Coffee, Trailside

Yummy coffees and friendly baristas! Good price too for food and drinks. However, difficult to find seats if your group is larger than 5. Also, they only have 1 public restroom stall.

Great spot with relaxing, laid-back atmosphere and yummy drinks and food! And, oh, the prices are pre-inflation. Imagine that!
Yes, it could be larger, but love the low-noise level as I could actually hear my companion!

Great coffee, friendly atmosphere. Our barista was patient and accommodating with all of our requests. Great balance of bitterness and sweetness in the coffee, I kept sipping on it after it cooled off and the taste stayed great (often the coffee drink is good while hot but tastes awful when cools off).

Forget Starbucks and never mind Scooters. This is the spot for good, strong, aromatic coffee. Fair prices and quick service. They roast their own coffee at the store, so you can smell the amazing beans being roasted. Highly recommended.

Really good coffee!! Right on the bike trail.

Not second best at all, love this place. Super baked items, the smoked chocolate chip cookies are amazing. The scones are equally amazing, super people work here. Love it

As a premier roaster in Kansas City it was only a matter of time before Second Best opened a second shop😉.

As a Second Best fan I can attest that they have definitely stayed within their brand aesthetic with concrete floors and vintage seating.

I ordered a shot of their two part Brazil / Costa Rica and it was exceptionally creamy and well balanced - which is nice because I think I was the first customer of the day and it's not always that a shop has the 'spro dialed first thing.

Overall very pleasant experience, Andy was super genuine and professional three thumbs up 👍👍👍.

My only sad remark (nothing on the company) is that I wish we could dine in... One day though!

The best kept secret in KC, as far as coffee shops go. This location is much more low-key compared to the original Wornall spot. Delicious latte and scone, barista was perfect balance of friendly and informative. Only thing I'd suggest is chairs with backs for when camping out and getting work done is the vibe.

20 miles into a ride, racking my brain where a decent coffee shop was on my route, then I round the corner on the Indian Creek Trail to find one of my favorite coffee shops! Can confirm, same great quality as their original shop.

Smashing good cold brew, especially on a below-freezing bright winter day. Hiked just behind the coffee shop on a continuation of the Indian Creek trail. Truly trailside.

I had a great latte and muffin. Highly recommend.

Just the best. Never too busy (great for me, probs not great for their revenue). Cozy atmosphere. Delicious drinks every time. Friendly baristas.

Always a good time (first time at the "new" spot)
Second Best never disappoints

Best coffee in the KC area in my opinion. Great coffee flavor and no where as sweet as most places. Just the right blend.

Love coming here! It’s always easy and fast to get my morning coffee.

Tied for best coffee in town, only competitor is their other location. Wicked cool art inside too.

Love this little coffee shop off the trail. Nothing like a nice cup of coffee before or after a good bike ride!

I had their seasonal Nutella Latte. It was smooth and flavorful. I would highly recommend it.

Amazing coffee. Great bartender. Super nice guy. Definitely check this place out

Amazing coffee, never a wait, great decor.
