12 Best Coffee Roasters in Kansas City

“This is my favorite coffee shop in all of the KC metro. The vibes ALWAYS vibe and the community that always gathers in there is such a breath of fresh air. I drive 20 minutes to get there and I'd drive an hour, daily, to keep going if I had to. Thank you Renegade Team! Incredible space! 💙“

“Excellent coffee, friendly service, and cute atmosphere“

“I met a friend for coffee here yesterday. What a great experience. We each had 2 drinks and stayed to visit for 2.5 hours! We each had a latte and a tea. Both were great! We felt welcome and I even joked around with Charlie. I was being my usual weird self and he was very entertained. We will definately return often.“

“Coffee is something I’m so particular I make it myself, but being on vacation, that’s not a luxury I have so for the singular time I tried Chingu, it seems that they are a viable go to. I got a seasonal flavored latte and man, it’s my definition of perfect; great coffee to flavoring ratio, and neither notes overpowered one another. My partner also got a seasonal choice of chamomile matcha with apricot cold foam and I’m versed enough with matcha to know that that was perfect as well, the tea was present, which complimented the earthy and fruity notes. Hence how I drew my conclusion that they are fantastic, as the restaurant literally alongside them which I’ll also be reviewing. Didn’t get food so I cannot speak much upon their options, though I will note I saw a couple that had been seated for a long time before me and my partner, got their food after ordering our drinks so one would assume they make their own food options in house.“

“TLDR: if u need a spacious, beautiful cafe with great hours and comfy seating, this is for u!

absolutely love this place!! i was a first timer today and genuinely cannot wait to be back. i got sick of my school's library and was on the hunt for cafes with long hours. the thing is, the other cafes with long hours are lowkey cramped and crowded and idk i'm someone that needs to be able to move around a lot and have flexibility in seating. well this cafe DELIVEREEEDDDDDD so much different seating, such a wide space, and amazing drinks!! honestly really wanna gatekeep this place but i loved it too much to not spread the word and give it more business. also loved the decor and i am so excited to go to some of the community events that are being held at blip and learn more about the history of the west bottoms!

thank yall for all that you do!“

“Great Tea! I loved the purple Palmer and the rose Palmer !“

“Children’s Mercy Ophthalmology Clinic on Broadway gave my daughter her life back. She had a lazy eye and they suggested strabismus surgery at their Children’s Mercy Kansas campus in Overland Park KS. She had it done on January 14th 2026. We noticed after a week of her surgery she was not falling near as bad. Her depth perception is so much better. Dr. Allyson was amazing and referred us to her colleague Dr. Can who did my daughters procedure. I would 10/10 recommend this place for your children’s eye needs. They are very well educated and equipped for a lot of conditions!“

“My wife and I visited and took a tour of the factory. We did the pre-tour flights of coffee, the tour, and the post-tour demonstration. Honestly, the pre-tour flights wasn't much and looking back I probably wouldn't do that again. But it's not like we paid a whole bunch, so I'm not super disappointed or anything. The tour was good. A little long, but good. We learned a lot on the tour. The post-tour demonstration was great! I loved getting some input on how to make my coffee a bit better. Our tour guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. Pricing was excellent!“

“I LOVE it here. The baristas are always so sweet, and the coffee is always delicious. I highly recommend the honeycomb latte. The ham and cheese croissant and the everything bagels are delicious as well. A little pricey but worth it. Great people all around.“

“Friendliest baristas in KC. They actually seem to enjoy being there. I really like the house blend roast for making coffee at home.“

“I absolutely love this drive thru. Chelsea, Jada, Olivia, and Chuck are the friendliest staff and caring! My fiancé and I are regulars that frequent weekly several times. On crap days, I will go grab a coffee just to see their friendly faces. I do wish that this location stayed on top of supplies though....had a rough go with lack of honey and cups a while ago.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Stars My go-to coffee spot—every single time! Headrush Roasters is truly a gem! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with the comforting aroma of freshly roasted coffee and the warmest, friendliest staff. The atmosphere is relaxed, cozy, and perfect whether you’re meeting friends, getting work done, or just enjoying some quiet time with a great cup of coffee. Their coffee is consistently top-notch—smooth, rich, and full of flavor. You can tell they’re passionate about what they do, and it shows in every sip. I’ve tried everything from their cold brews to seasonal lattes, and I’ve never been disappointed. Their pastries and snacks are also amazing and make the perfect pairing. It’s not just a coffee shop—it’s a community space with heart. Highly recommend stopping by if you haven’t yet. You’ll be hooked after your first visit!“
