Urban Prairie Coffee

Urban Prairie Coffee is an independent, woman-owned coffee shop at 5606B Johnson Drive in downtown Mission, Kansas. Opened in September 2018 by Julie and Jason Hans — the family that already ran the adjacent Mission: Board Games — it took over the space of the long-running Twisted Sisters coffee shop and pairs a quiet neighborhood café with a connected board-game shop next door, an informal “board game café” concept on the Johnson Drive corridor.

Description

Urban Prairie Coffee is a neighborhood coffee shop on Johnson Drive in downtown Mission, Kansas. It is intentionally a quieter, community-oriented alternative to chain coffee shops, drawing remote workers and regulars with a calm, whisper-quiet atmosphere and ample seating.¹ The drink program features espresso, housemade cold brew, and rotating seasonal lattes (sources cite a peach cobbler latte among the seasonal offerings), with a small breakfast-leaning food menu including a potato breakfast burrito and avocado toast.¹

The shop’s defining feature is its connection to Mission: Board Games, the Hans family’s adjacent business: the two storefronts share an interior door, so patrons can move between coffee and the board-game shop, an informal “board game café” concept on the Mission downtown strip.²¹ The space is the direct successor to Twisted Sisters, a beloved Mission coffee shop that closed in summer 2018; Urban Prairie took over the location and continued the role of the corner’s neighborhood café.²

Urban Prairie Coffee is owned and operated by Julie and Jason Hans, a married couple who already owned the adjacent Mission: Board Games (opened December 2016) and expanded into the coffee space when the prior Twisted Sisters owner retired.² The Hans family is reported to have lived in Fairway, Kansas — a small inner-ring Johnson County municipality in the KC metro — for roughly 20 years, indicating deep local ties.² Julie Hans is listed as a co-owner (LinkedIn lists her as “Co-owner – Urban Prairie Coffee”),⁴ and the business is flagged “Woman Owned” in the City of Mission’s official business directory.³ The business is independent and locally owned, with no corporate parent or franchise affiliation.²
