If you've driven through Bonner Springs or Lansing lately and caught the smell of fresh espresso, there's a good chance it was coming from Ten & Two Coffee — a local coffee bar that has quietly become one of the more interesting spots in the area, thanks to a simple twist: it runs on coffee in the morning and craft cocktails at night.
With two locations a short drive from Basehor, Ten & Two leans into a "two pit stops" identity. Mornings are built around barista-made coffee drinks, smoothies, breakfast sandwiches and pastries, with a lounge area set up for catching up with friends or getting a little work done. The pitch is straightforward: fuel up, then stick around for the atmosphere.
Once evening rolls in, the same space shifts into cocktail territory. The team puts the spotlight on hand-crafted drinks, including a featured Blackberry Jalapeño Margarita that blends tequila with a sweet-and-spicy mix of blackberry and jalapeño. It's the kind of place built to work both as a daytime caffeine stop and an evening hangout.
The Lansing location adds its own wrinkle, hosting "Tinsel Town" weekends — family-friendly during the day and shifting to a 21-and-up crowd at night.
