50 Best Coffee Shops in Kansas City

“It’s my favorite coffeehouse in the metro. I’ve bought art there, I’ve cheered myself up there. I feel like this is one of those places that people should know about more.“

“Vibes & service are incredibly important to me and this shop does great at both.

TC has an identity that is much different than other shops around town. I get tired of modern, sterile, cafeteria style shops.

TC has a warm western / homey ambiance that provides coffee goers with a space to relax and enjoy other people’s presence.

As far as quality of their products go, it’s evident that they pay close attention to detail. Their roasting partner Marcell makes high quality coffee !!“

“My aunt jessi made me a sandwich today(bacon egg and cheese)!! I recommend it, it was absolutely delicious“

“Great coffee, food and staff. Will definitely be back!“

“Great coffee! I love the ambiance of the place!“

“Mike helped me find just the right 70s album to share with my son for his 39th birthday. Then, we shared the best conversation. All this after enjoying tea and scones with my friend in a windshield seat at the front of the store. Great vibe, friendly and knowledgeable staff. And my scone was DELICIOUS!“

“There is Revo cup close to my home which I stop in now and then. My real estate team and I had a coffee event there to buy coffee for patrons and answer some questions about the real estate market and offer some helpful real estate advice. The owner was so welcoming and helpful to guide people our way.“

“The establishment offers a delightful selection of beverages. Customers frequently praise the variety and quality of the treats available. A hot coffee selection complements the other drink options. Expanding the hot food menu could attract a wider range of customers. This would enhance the overall dining experience.“

“Love this coffee shop! Not only is the coffee delicious but the sweet people running the shop have the CUTEST shop dog🫶🏼 it’s a MUST“

“Such a cute place! The vibe is very rich, moody, and unique. Love how the building has been restored. Their coffee and pastries were amazing! If I could have tried one of each of their pastries, I would have. They all looked so good and they are displayed beautifully. Enough seating to enjoy your selection, while chatting with a friend or catching up on emails.“

“Amazing atmosphere and great coffee“

“Very friendly staff. Good coffee. Could use more food options.

Parking: Parking in lot, on the streets, and around the area.

Kid-friendliness: They have games, large open spaces, and kid specials. It was nice to see kids on their little toy motorcycles.“

“I love cats they love me. Nothing else to“

“I came to the Cafeton Y Perreo event here yesterday and it was so much fun! Music was divine, everybody was having fun, and the service was lovely. The only thing is that it got very hot inside but that’s because the doors were open and it was such a hot day regardless. Will come back to try the food!“

“I have been dying to try this place but it is way across town for me. It was well worth the trip. I got “The Mind Latte” a mushroom concoction with mushroom cold foam. This is unique, creative and tasty. The whole vibe is awesome. I am so happy I made the trip. I will be back.“

“Love their coffee. I got the drip. Wife had a mocha. Vegetarian burrito was small but tasty. The beans are smoky so it's an interesting twist, but works. Tortilla was perfect (very important for a burrito, of course). Chewy but not gummy. And appeared to be lightly grilled, which i love. Crossaint was nice. Service was great. Atmosphere was comfortable, with a lot of natural light.“

“chill vibes, friendly service!“

“Bought a breve with some honey. Excellent taste! Not too bitter, not too sweet.

Lovely coffee place, price great for the quality of the coffee you’re buying! They use 1883 as their syrups that is from France and all natural! They also use organic espresso beans that they roast in house. Important to know, they employee people with disabilities giving them a place to work and gain that experience for future employments! This has just became my favorite coffee shop!

Kid-friendliness: They have little games and coloring books for the kiddos to play with! My son enjoyed playing tic tac toe!“

“I love this little coffee shop! ☕💕 And they do a great job making you feel safe with a mask mandate when you're not sitting at a socially distanced table enjoying a beverage and/or treat!“

“Loved the yogurt parfait and iced chai. The almond croissant was amazing! The rooftop seating was the best. Definitely would return.“

“Great Event Space!!!❤️ A great place to come and have small events or just relax in the cafe and drink a beverage.“

“Friend Coffee by another name.

Stopped in this delightful coffee shop. I was in the area looking for coffee on Google and this popped up nearby. Saw the name “Chingu” and wondered if it was a Korean themed or owned shop. I was pleasantly surprised it was. I ordered a hot caramel latte and a toasted sesame bagel. It was pricier than I was expecting. The total was around $11.50 for the two items. I asked the cheerful barista if this was a Korean shop because of the name to which she affirmed it was. Then I started to notice the Hanguel (Korean script) around the place. Having lived in Korea for several years I’m always open to check out a Korean owned place. Will be going back again to try something else and I want to check out their restaurant as well.“

“I tried the Arroz con leche latte and the mocha azteca both were delicious. The tamales however were dry and tasted mainly like the masa. The masa for the tamales verde tasted sweet, like the masa for tamales de dulce which was weird. I'd still probably go back for the drinks though!“

“A wonderful place to get a delicious caffeinated beverage! I am so glad we stopped in, my daughter loved the blueberry muffin and spending time in the library while I worked on my computer in the adjoined coffee shop.“

“First time trying the iced Blondie ! Sorry Starbucks but I found my new love for iced coffee ❤️“

“Amazing coffee! Will certainly have to return!“

“very good coffee and great price.“

“Wife and I love this place. It a last stop for a date night for us. It’s open late, great location, good pastries 🥐 and a flavorful cup ☕️ We love the atmosphere and the service.“

“YUM! Love, love, love the new turkey Swiss croissant sandwich!!!!“

“Crows is my favorite coffee house in KC. Live music and all!“

“Simply delicious and supports a great cause.“

“Great coffee, great food and excellent customer service!“

“I tried the salted butterscotch. It was delicious.“

“Nice staff, good location, good coffee!“

“it's a real neighborhood place, Marlborough is coming back to life.“

“The food was amazing! We got the meat platter and several different kinds of empanadas and it was ALL delicious! Our waitress was great and even recommended deserts to take home! The deserts were on display and I probably would haven taken one of each but we filled up on our dinner! The atmosphere was fun and we will definitely be going back!!“

“I came into my favorite location today. Got my usual XL coffee. I ordered the waffle sandwich. It was very cold upon my first bite. I think heating it up was overlooked or the wrong time had been set. I brought it back to the counter and asked for a reheat and I was given a new fully heated sandwich. This location has great customer service despite being very busy.“

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

“Absolutely the best blended drinks and more!! The people that work there are the absolute best. You will NOT find a better and friendlier group at any other Coffee location at all, probably in the entire world. In the words of some famous dude, Starbucks and Scooters can bite it!!“

“I have been getting my coffee here since 2014 and it’s still the best coffee in KC! Staff has always been so friendly and on point with my order. The food has always been amazing and the atmosphere so warm and inviting. All these years later, Nikole and her staff have always stayed humble and continue to pour positive energy into every cup of coffee served.“

“A pleasant library experience. First of all I adore the scenery outside, it's a beautiful peaceful sight. There's plenty of parking space and it's always quiet when we go. The staff are friendly and welcoming, there's a good selection of books and the staff have been helpful when we had questions. The rest rooms are clean and tidy. Also, plenty of computers free to use and 10 cents per page to print with a fairly easy system to print. The children's area has plenty of seating and activities for children. My only issue is that there are computers for children to play with which is often distracting for my daughter as she ends up being less interested in finding books and more interested in playing the fun games on the screens. Other than that, I like this library and there's a lot more here I'm still yet to explore.“

“I first became acquainted with Caribou Coffee on a trip to Minneapolis several years ago Since then, it's been my favorite brand. I buy the Obsidian blend whole beans nd prepare it in a French press. I have tried all sorts of different coffee and there is no better dark roast to be found anywhere.“

“I ordered the Roasted sweet potato quinoa from Foodsby, it was so good. i would order it again. I have ordered the candied bacon wedge salad and it was also good. I don't think I have ordered anything from them that I didn't like.“

“I work out around the corner and I love their protein shakes, espresso shots and their pumpkin cookies are amazing.“

“Great taste and service they serve...“

“We had a great time at Donutology in Westport! Delicious, fresh, choose-your-own-toppings, kid-friendly. Hardworking staff, friendly, great atmosphere. Will be back!“

“Loved the yogurt parfait and iced chai. The almond croissant was amazing! The rooftop seating was the best. Definitely would return.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!“

“I have tried 5 different coffee shops versions of shaken brown sugar cinnamon lattes and scooters has been by far my favorite tasting. Additionally,. My daughter loves their blueberry muffins so we love to have mommy daughter dates there. And thanks to some of the cool things they do we now have matching scooters crock charms on our shoes and a twirly scooters straw. Lastly, the employees there are so sweet and amazing at this location. Definitely some of the best customer service. 100/10 recommend this location.“

“Personable and polite, great coffee (the raspberry truffle is my fav), cool stuff all through the shop, cute dogs and a cat, and hey, if you need printing done too, they've got that covered. Lol! If you are out that way, get yourself some coffee and a muffin. Oh, great prices too.“
