In May 2022, I visited Fitti’s Espresso for the first time and was pleasantly surprised by their business model. I was happy to learn that Fitti’s is a veteran-owned coffee shop that aims to provide a casual coffeehouse experience for its customers. Initially, the shop was experiencing issues with the internet, but I returned later once it was fixed. To make it up to me for the inconvenience, the owner, Jeff, kindly offered to pay for my coffee. The staff also gave me a punch card for my coffee purchases. In addition to traditional coffeehouse offerings, Fitti’s Espresso provides a range of services, including baked goods like cookies, muffins, scones, and brownies, as well as Hawaiian-style shaved ice and bags of ground coffee. They even sell apparel, such as hats and t-shirts. The coffee served at Fitti’s is called "Caffe D'arte," imported from Italy. Business cards are available, displaying the names of the employees, along with the phone number and address for Fitti’s Espresso. The shop also offers mugs and travel cups featuring the Fitti’s Espresso logo. For customers wanting to grab their coffee or breakfast on the go, there is a convenient drive-through window. Overall, Fitti’s Espresso has a traditional coffee shop theme, complete with coffee-related collectibles. The menu includes a wide variety of coffee drinks and flavors, breakfast sandwiches and burritos, a selection of pastries and treats, and various flavors of Hawaiian shaved ice. During my first visit, I ordered an iced Breve Mocha with Caramel Pecan syrup, which was quite good. On my next visit that same year, I tried Fitti’s breakfast burrito, made with a flour tortilla filled with scrambled eggs, bacon, cheese, and homemade sausage gravy. My older brother has visited Fitti’s a few times and ordered a Spiced Chai Tea Latte. He had me taste it, and I noticed a hint of cinnamon. So, I decided to try the Vanilla Chai Tea Latte, which was also delicious. Overall, I was impressed by the service and food at Fitti’s Espresso. For anyone moving to the Platte Woods - Zona Rosa area of Kansas City and looking for a coffee shop, I highly recommend visiting Fitti’s Espresso. Given that they serve cold and iced treats during the summer, I also suggest that those interested in iced beverages try their Hawaiian shaved ice and cold coffee drinks. The owners and staff at Fitti’s Espresso are kind and caring, creating a welcoming atmosphere that enhances the customer experience. I encourage Fitti’s Espresso to continue their excellent service and consider expanding their menu with new foods and beverages.

PROs: Appreciate the Veterans and First Responders, thank you for your service! Great location. Plenty of parking. Indoor & outdoor seatings. Rustic decor vibe and love the plants. Great selection of coffees & pastries. Appreciate they provide decaf coffee. And it tasted great! We ordered decaf Breve and my daughter ordered some kind of a fluffy drink. CONs: There is not enough vet owned businesses. I wish this place was closer to me. I would be here weekly.

Very cool little locally owned, veteran owned coffee shop in a sea of nearby chain shops. With some time to kill before our flight, My son and I stopped by here on the way back to the airport. My son (8) was immediately attracted by the giant cake pops and I was interested in the espresso shots. Being from a family of vets I can appreciate the homage to vets in this space. The service was great and friendly. The cafe culture felt like home. Please support local businesses like this one as they keep your dollars revolving locally and support vets and local families.
