Coffee Shops in Downtown/Midtown Wichita

• Reverie Coffee Roasters
  • Two locations: 2202 E. Douglas Ave.  and in the Advanced Learning Library at 711 W. 2nd St.  
  • A highly-informal reader poll suggests that Reverie is one of Wichita’s most-favored local coffee shops.  Their drinks are as beautiful as they are tasty!
• Leslie Coffee Co. – 930 W. Douglast, Ste. A 
  • Right in the heart of Delano, Leslie Coffee has such a fun modern vibe with the most beautiful teal ceiling and has a small private room in the back. Be sure to look closely for the iconic ICT wallpaper.
• Pennant Coffee – 2721 E. Central (in Revolutsia)
  • This little shop is worth the extra effort to park & hop on up to the second story location. Selling coffee drinks, rich hot chocolate, and breakfast items (baked goods provided by local PeeWee Sweets), you can save 15% off your tab by pre-ordering online. If you want to dine in, pop next door to Good Company (same ownership) and have a seat!
