    The atmosphere is the best part. I’ve been here twice once for a meeting the other just socially. Surprisingly busy on a Friday night.

    Good coffee drinks. Did not have food but several tables around us did. Cute coffee shop close to the River Market

    Modest and moderately social experience. I ordered a delicious iced macchiato with lavender and almond milk. The customer service was phenomenal. I’ll definitely return to this location.

    Great little coffee shop. Enjoyed the Chai Tea and a hot chocolate. Reasonable prices too. Relaxed and played a game while we drank. Well be back again soon!

    This place has it all. The neighborhood, the vibe, the decor, the coffee, the cocktails. It's a perfect place to do work or meet with friends.

    Love the coffee, the bartenders, and the vibes. Highly recommend the Warmer and the Spiced Brown Sugar latte (it tastes just like a Biscoff cookie)!

    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.

    This is a great coffee shop in a historic part of Kansas City. We had the 12 oz mocha and 8 oz americano and both were very good. They had more seating than I expected. Friendly baristas who know how to pull a good shot. Not surprising given their reputation in KC. Quite a bit of on street parking nearby and the light rail system has a stop just steps away. Definitely will go back!

    It was my first time coming to Thou Mayest. The ambiance was good, coffee house vibes in the best way. The decor is eclectic, and a bit funky in the best way. The space is kept immaculately clean, it's a bit on the small side, but what commercial space in River Market isn't. The employees were professional and relaxed. Very much the epitome of the apparent slogan of "take fun seriously" which I appreciate. Food offerings were on the slim side, but the space just recently opened. So your options are some packaged foods like protein bars, pastries, or a good old fashion bowl of cereal. The coffee was also immaculate, you can choose which type of espresso you'd like, a light, dark or decaf which is nice. Their seasonals and home made syrups are super good. Also interesting that you can get CBD oil added to a drink. I did with my drink, the bee pollen and lavender latte. 10/10 experience hands down. I'd definitely go again, the only thing I think could possibly make my next experience better is more food options, which I am sure will be sorted out by the next time I visit. If you are looking for a great coffee house experience at River Market, Thou Mayest is my top choice for it.
