Best Coffee Shops with Fast Wifi in Manhattan KS

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Sometimes my best ideas come from looking for something I can’t find. Today it was where (besides Starbucks) could I chill and get free Wi-Fi. Relax, I’m not hating on Starbucks. I just wanted something different. But be careful, all Wi-Fi is not good Wi-Fi. So make sure you verify ownership and take precautions while browsing the Internet to safeguard your devices. With that being said, here are the best coffee shops with fast WiFi in Manhattan Kansas and why I like them.

1. The Best Coffee Shops in town
2. Arrow Coffee ** now Brothers Coffee
3. The Public House
4. The Manhattan Public Library
5. The Dusty Bookshelf at the Co-op
6. Radina Bakehouse
7. Manhattan Town Center
8. Sparrow Coffee Shop
9. Bluestem Bistro
10. Paramour Coffee

Arrow Bodega

418 Poyntz Ave, Manhattan, KS 66502

Arrow Coffee is always a great place to chill. Especially when you want to be near the 25 and younger crowd. It’s actually two places in one. One side has a great coffee shop and the other side is set up for cocktails and an evening out with friends. And both sides have access to fast Wifi.

The Public House

1205 Moro Street, Manhattan, KS 66502

I found this place because it was right next to the Yoga Studio. It’s the closest thing to a co-working space in Aggieville. The coffee is a little price, but Wi-Fi is free and fast. I say this because the last 4 people came in, sat down, and started working without ordering a drink. Too bad because I am really enjoying my Earl Gray Latte in my new “KEEP CALM & Sparkle on” mug I bought at Pier 1 yesterday. I like the music here– it’s pretty relaxing. I found a cushy seat in front of the big picture windows to plop before my 6 pm hot yoga class next door. If you want to make music then you can also use Mac here. They provide it with Logic Pro X.

The Dusty Bookshelf at the Co-op

700 N Manhattan Ave, Manhattan, KS 66502

I had meaning to stop in here for a while. It suffered a devastating fire back and just re-opened in April. It was formerly owned by KSU until they decide to close it. Luckily a group of students banded together to buy the business and reopen it as the Co-op Bookstore. Like the Public Hall, it has a fresh urban feel with exposed brick and heating ducts. The co-op has free password encrypted Wi-Fi, live music every Friday, and tons of author visits.

Radina’s Bakehouse

227 Blue Earth Pl, Manhattan, KS 66502

There are a couple of Radina’s Coffees in the Manhattan area. But I prefer the bakehouse in Blue Earth. All of the baked goods at Radina’s Bakehouse are artisanal which means everything is made from scratch with quality ingredients, wine, and beer.

Sparrow Coffee Shop

1437 Anderson Ave, Manhattan, KS 66502

This is a cute little coffee house with free Wi-Fi. Sparrow has a number of seating options, a comfy couch, and chairs. The space is very relaxing– a good place to hang out, work on my blog, or just browse the Internet. There are lots of students because it’s across the street for the campus. Kansas locals will appreciate that they roast Thou Mayest Coffee from Kansas City.

Bluestem Bistro

1219 Moro St, Manhattan, KS 66502

Bluestem Bistro is located in Aggieville. It shows up on every search for the best restaurants in Manhattan. I went for the Cuban Latte which was delicious. It’s a cute little coffee shop with friendly staff, a bar with wine, beer and spirits, and great WI-FI. So check it out next time you’re looking for a coffee and fast Wi-Fi in the Aggieville.

Paramour Coffee

Paramour Coffee occupies space next to the Bank of the Flint Hills in the Clocktower Place. The family-owned coffee house is delicious and currently my favorite specialty coffee shops with another location in Wamego. Ask to see their secret menu while enjoy a yummy snack on the outdoor patio.
