EJ’s on Oak in Bonner Springs is a small, family-owned coffee shop and bakery that offers sandwiches, soups and beverages. As you walk in, you enter a family based atmosphere. There are several games set up on the counter for children to play, such as Connect Four and Trouble. Unfortunately, there are hardly any seats, as the whole shop consists of four small tables, two comfy chairs and a small counter. However, the cafe in general seemed like a comfy place to sit with a friend or to get away and write an essay. There was only one person working that I saw, and quite frankly, one worker was all that was needed. I can’t imagine that the small café gets extremely busy, considering its size.

Come to find out, EJ’s gets their coffee from The Roasterie, which is a Kansas City based company. I ordered a classic mocha and a chocolate chip cookie. The coffee was medium roast and was mized with steamed milk to give it the mocha taste. The chocolate chip cookie was about the size of a CD and was loaded with chocolate, which is just the way I like it.

There is also a varierty of sandwiches EJ’s offers, which incude your choice of four meats and five cheeses. There is also a Soup of the Day and various sweets and pastries such as cupcakes and muffins. EJ’s is ultimately worth returning to for the coffee and treats.
