Looking for a one-of-a-kind destination that doesn’t break the bank? Consider Kansas, a state filled with smaller cities that pack the flavor and character often missing from better-known hubs. And Pittsburg might just be the perfect example of that.

Coffee drinkers will drive miles for a delicious latte or espresso. Luckily, the Kansas map is dotted with one-of-a-kind coffee shops catering to caffeine junkies.
