Coffee is great, but it can get expensive. As a college student, I don’t want to spend $5-$7 on a small cup of coffee. Since I’ve been in Wichita, I have been to many coffee shops and trying to decide which one is the most affordable. Here is a list of coffee shops that I have been to that have the cheapest prices and great coffee.
If you find another cheap coffee shop you think we should add. Please email us at [email protected] with information and a picture of the menu.
1. Sojourner’s Coffee House:
Starting off strong we have Sojourner’s. Sojourner’s is just like any coffee shop. They have a full menu of drinks and food, but what makes them unique is that they’re a nonprofit. Every item on their menu is based off donations and all their proceeds go to the military, veterans and their families. However, they have a menu with prices of suggested donations.
– Nonprofit (donation based)
– Open Monday – Saturday
– 7130 W Maple St Suite 280, Wichita, KS 67209
2. Common Grounds Coffee House:
A hidden gem in the middle of Wichita, Common Grounds is a house turned into a coffee shop. If you’re wanting to get a cheap (and great) cup of coffee, a homey-feel when you’re studying, or just catching up with a friend, Common Grounds is the way to go.
– Homey feel
– Open Monday – Saturday
– Middle of Wichita
– 2812 E Douglas Ave, Wichita, KS 67214
3. Il Primo Espresso Caffe
It is not very likely that you see a 16oz latte for under five dollars. At Il Primo, however, they sell theirs for $3.65! It doesn’t get much better than that.
– First coffee house in Wichita
– Coffee, breakfast, and lunch
– Open seven days a week
– 6422 Central Ave, Wichita, KS 67206
4. The Bean Scene
The Bean Scene is personally one of my favorites not only because of the fun name but because of their frappes and boba! They have a wider variety of drinks including boba, smoothies, and milkshakes.
– Boba, smoothies, milkshakes
– Open Tuesday – Sunday
– 8606 W 13th St N #120, Wichita, KS 67212
5. R Coffee House
R Coffee House is similar to Common Grounds as they are also set up in a neighborhood and in an actual house. They offer a very quiet atmosphere with amazing drinks, and pastries.
– Homey feel
– Open seven days a week 8am – 5pm
– 1144 Bitting St, Wichita, KS 67203
6. Kookaburra Coffee
Again, not many coffee shops offer boba, smoothies, and handmade sodas, Kookaburra does. They also offer protein add-ins in their smoothies which is a big plus.
– Boba, smoothies, handmade sodas
– Protein add-ins
– Open Monday – Saturday 7am – 3pm
– Drive-through
– 9414 W Central Ave, Wichita, KS 67212
