We don't find ourselves in Lee's Summit very often, but when we do, a stop at Hand in Glove is always a must. Their rotating menu of creative cocktails is one of the best in the metro area, and the space itself is awesome. An absolutely massive whiskey selection fills up a solid chunk of their back wall, while cozy seating is illuminated by an insanely cool light fixture. The staff is always friendly and while the cocktails certainly feel fancy, there's a notable lack of pretension. It's a welcoming spot where they would gladly help anyone find a cocktail that's up their alley. We have yet to try to coffee side of things here, but I feel confident the experience is just as wonderful. We will be back, over and over again!

Russ - you ARE the man! If you want the best hot drinks (and cup of ice water 🤭) look no further than here. I had tried the spicy chai latte at another close establishment & ended up tossing it. Came right over here & got my fix!! From the friendly relationship between customer & baristas to the fun atmosphere of this spot. It all gives A+ all around, hands down!!! Go try something! You won’t be disappointed!!
Happy drinking!
The best hands down, spiced chai latte! Even better with the twist to it. Check them out along with their sweet breakfast treats!!!
This is their current menu. Ended up getting the espresso martini. Looks and tasted pretty good. Ended up getting a second one. 5/5 would recommend to others. Seating is a bit smaller for a bigger guy. Still had a great time.
Atmosphere was very nice however, we were told to move seats so paying customers could sit where they’d like. We were also paying customers as we had already payed for our coffees and were enjoying them at our table.

Everything I've tried here has been amazing! The customer service is awesome!
Went in for a Sunday morning coffee and got the Irish Salted Caramel latte. It was heavy on the Irish lol. Was great!
Enjoyed cocktails here while Octoberfest was going on. This was a great way to spend some time today.
I wasn't aware of any food, but the drinks were fun & crafty. The staff was super nice & helpful. The atmosphere was funky, chic & quirky. Overall, it was a great place to drop in & have a few drinks with friends.

This is a lovely hidden gem in downtown Lee’s Summit for drinks. The bartenders are nice and quick to help. I tried a burnt sugar latte, which was delicious, and the full drink menu looks pretty interesting. Will definitely plan on coming back here again.
Hand in Glove also did a nice job with the decor. While it’s a small space, there are still a couple little nooks to provide a sense of privacy.
This place is seriously awesome. I tried it for the first time with a friend; we met for coffee at 9am on a Sunday. From the staff to the atmosphere, to the great 90s R&B music they chose to play for the morning, lol, I love this place. The hot hazelnut latte was the best I've had in very long time. I can't wait to come back sometime to try their specialty cocktails.
