Quay Coffee

My husband and I have a lot of memories centered around Thou Mayest the original spot in the Crossroads We had some of our first dates there, great times with friends, tiki parties and we got a lot of our wedding pictures taken there. We were absolutely devastated when they had to close that location. When River Quay reopened and I walked in for the first time, I tested up. It was so similar to the original place. It had the same vibes. Felt the same. It was warm and cozy and felt kind of like a cabin in the woods. Trees and plants everywhere, a bar, ample seating for everyone, eclectic decor and such a friendly staff. They had brought in these vintage green pockets that had been at The Crossroads location and we had gotten some wedding pictures taken in front of. Everything was just… perfect. The coffee and beverages were just as good as ever! This is somewhere I will come back to over and over again

We have always loved Thou Mayest and this location is beautiful! We had the immersion brew and the Spirit of KC cocktail. Quite delicious! For anyone needing a drink of nearly any sort this is the spot… plenty of seating and just an all around beautiful spot.

My mocha was really good. The employees were really nice and the environment is comfortable and inviting. We checked Google Maps before going to see how busy they were. They didn't look busy. When we walked in all the seating, while there is a lot, was taken except about 4 seats at the bar. We decided to sit at the bar. After about 10 minutes several seats opened up and we moved. It was between 3:00 and 3:30 on a Thursday afternoon. We will definitely go back.

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.

Great atmosphere, delicious drinks! Someone in our group got an espresso martini which was excellent and my wife and I got the red chai latte which was pretty good but needed a little more flavor. Overall, neat experience!

Second time in this nice place. This time I got my cortadito with a sparkling water pardon me, it was my first time anyways, found out that it was to clean the palate which it was so nice. Great experience one more time!

Always a great experience at Thou Mayest! This is the best place to work, study or even hang out alone of friends. The coffee is great, and the service is friendly. Definitely make this place especially this cozy location a regular spot.

Every one is very friendly and helpful. Nice atmosphere. Cool drink’s menu. Jack is very friendly ,nice and he makes our time there very memorable.

There’s something so cozy and fun about the atmosphere of Thou Mayest. The employees are so nice and welcoming and the espresso that comes out of of their Rancilio machine is top notch. In addition to their espresso, the cold brew and tea options are highly rated as well. If your leaning towards something with a little bit of booze in it, you’re in luck, because they also have noteworthy cocktails along with beer, wine, and liquor.
