Equal Minded Cafe KC

Equal Minded Cafe KC is a Black-owned, family-run café on Troost Avenue in Kansas City. Owner Dawn is often there with his dog Vito. It's bright, with sofas, tables, a bar, board games, instruments and a back event space. There's free wifi, a student discount and street parking.

The chai, with almond milk, is the favorite. The pesto aioli panini and San Francisco Melt are lunch picks. There's an HH bacon wrap and double espresso.
