Caffeine Crawl tickets go on sale this Monday

Need a lot of pep in your step? Tickets for the first-ever Caffeine Crawl, organized by local beverage impresario Lab 5702, go on sale Monday.

The Caffeine Crawl from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Saturday, September 17, is a guided tour that stops in independent Kansas City coffee and tea shops.

“We’re trying to fill the gap and break down the wall where a customer might be OK buying specialty coffee, but not know how to talk to a barista,” Lab 5702 founder Jason Burton says.
