First Impressions
Tiger Coffee & Ice Cream is a beloved little drive-thru spot located right across from the Missouri State Fairgrounds which is a perfect pit stop whether you’re headed to the fair, running errands, or just in need of a pick-me-up.
The shop itself looks like a charming little cottage, that immediately makes it stand out. Cozy, cute, and impossible to miss.
True to its name, Tiger Coffee is a nod to the local school mascot, making it a favorite among students, families, and Sedalia locals. It’s a small business that proudly supports its community, and it shows.
Even though it’s drive-thru only, there’s no shortage of warmth. The owner is always so kind and talkative, greeting you like an old friend and adding genuine connection to every cup. And let’s not forget, they also serve ice cream, making it a double win for both caffeine lovers and families with a sweet tooth.
What We Order
Iced Caramel Latte:
Rich, bold, and full of flavor. The espresso is strong (in the best way), and the caramel adds just the right touch of sweetness. If you like your lattes to actually taste like coffee and not just sugar and milk then this is your drink. Served chilled and creamy, it’s a go-to for warm days and tired mornings alike.
My husband is obsessed with their frappe that blends caramel, hazelnut, and mocha. He says it tastes just like a turtle frappe, and it’s still bold and delicious without being overly sweet. It hits that perfect balance of rich and smooth.
And the best part? She always tops it off with a chocolate-covered espresso bean, which adds the perfect little crunch and extra hit of coffee goodness. It’s those thoughtful touches that make us come back again and again.
What Makes It Special
Strong, delicious coffee for real espresso lovers
Drive-thru convenience for busy mornings and mom life
Ice cream options for an extra treat or fun reward for the kids
Incredibly sweet, friendly, and talkative owner
Local charm in a quick-service format
Vibe Check
Since it’s a drive-thru only location, there’s no indoor seating or lounge area, but the charm comes from the quick, efficient service and warm interactions. It’s cozy in its own way: small-town friendliness with a punch of strong coffee.
- Cottage Charm
- School Pride
- Landmark Reference
- Friendly Service
Mom Win
This spot is a drive-thru only dream, especially for moms on the move. No need to unbuckle the crew, juggle bags, or pray your toddler doesn’t bolt into traffic. Just roll up, order, and roll out with a great coffee (or even a scoop of ice cream if it’s been that kind of day).
Things to Consider
Limited hours : I wish they were open more often, so be sure to check their hours online or on social before heading over.
Slightly pricier than some other spots in town, but the flavor and friendliness make it worth it.
Final Sips
Tiger Coffee & Ice Cream proves that small spaces can deliver big flavor and heart. From their bold lattes to their warm customer service and sweet treat options, this spot hits the mark — especially for busy families and caffeine-fueled moms on the go.
Would I go again? Absolutely, and next time, I’m treating the kids (and maybe myself) to a scoop of ice cream too.
