50 Best Coffee Shops in Kansas City

“This little local gem is such a gift to Kansas City! The coffee is phenomenal, food delicious, but NOTHING beats the warmth and inclusion the staff offers freely to each guest! I always leave this beautiful establishment with a full heart, and the sustenance I need to make it through another day of caring for the KCMO community. Thank you, Anchor Island, for loving us so well! We love you! ⚓️ 🏝️🥹💖“

“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.“

“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! 💙“

“This Cafe has a great vibe. It's a wonderful place to dine in. Today I had the jalapeño Ruben and honey lavender macha. Delicious 🔥💯“

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

“I try to explore local eateries and coffee shops whenever I’m on work trips, and I have to hand it to Fitti’s. The atmosphere is so homey and cozy, the coffee was amazing and I also tried one of their brownies - everything was fantastic. The day I visited was kind of rainy, so the vintage lights glowing and the soft music playing was reminiscent of when I watch those “coffee shop jazz” videos on YouTube. I’m excited to return!“

“Thanks Ian for the great vanilla and caramel latte. The reviews on-line convinced me to try your coffee shop. Now I know why Blip Roasters have so many positive reviews. Your hospitality and lattes are amazing. Next time I’m in town, I’m definitely coming back. Thanks again for everything.“

“Pleasant visit. Enjoyed our coffee on the rooftop patio which made for a fun experience, employees were kind and helpful.“

“I stumbled upon this little shop after begging the GPS to find the closest coffee shop on my way to work. Being greeted by a calm, sweet, warm eyed pup and great coffee was just what I needed. I will definitely be making this a regular stop. The coffee is great (I had an iced mud pit) and the biscuits and gravy were the perfect comfy breakfast! Highly recommend checking this place out!“

“On December 8 (the sad anniversary of John Lennon’s assassination), Babs told me about a coffeehouse that she’d read about in Kansas City Magazine. “Sounds like your kind of place.” On Saturday the 9th, I stopped by & was smitten. The coffee was terrific. The place had a funky yet welcoming vibe. Today 12/15/23, I invited my coffee ☕️ group to meet there & they were equally impressed. We’ll be back.“

“Amazing atmosphere and great coffee“

“This location cares and listens. For a busy and stressful weekend Jace's recommendation made my day thank you for the consideration and kind service.
My new go to when I need a pick me up; Rebel, strawberry, peach, and coconut!
Thank you again buddy!“

“Excellent coffee, friendly service, and cute atmosphere“

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

“Amazing coffee! Will certainly have to return!“

“My daughter could not stop smiling! She loved “Breakfast with Bluey”! Seeing Bluey and eating pancakes with strawberries, then playing in the play area. Very reasonably priced and they have several events throughout the month. We will definitely be back!“

“DELICIOUS!!! We got the Spicy Mayan and the Aztec mochas and they’re so tasty! They are on the sweeter side so I will likely get an extra shot next time. We also got the beef empanadas, breakfast empanada, and cheese bread. All the choices were delicious and we were swooning over the chimichurri sauce! Will definitely be back!“

“I love Sister Anne’s. I’ve sold records here, bought lots more, plus they’ve got a great cassette selection and every coffee and pastry I’ve ever tried has been incredible. I’ve never had a bad time here. Everyone is always so nice and cool. It’s a great place to hang as well, lots of tables and always great tunes playing. I’m moving away soon and I’m so deeply sad to not be down the street from this place anymore. I love you forever Sister Anne’s!!!!!!!“

“I gave them 5 stars minus 1 for not updating website because everything about it looked awesome but sadly , we got there on a thursday morning , and it wasn't even open even though it said it was open on website. We drove a half an hour to get there and were pretty disappointed. So you might call first to make sure that they're actually open when they say they're going to be.“

“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.“

“chill vibes, friendly service!“

“Been here twice now. Had the iced dulce de Leche latte with cold foam... it was really good. It's $2 extra for cold foam and i wish they gave a bit more cold foam.
The Seville mocha with orange is fantastic! Also tried a pork tamale. Pretty good for a coffee shop!!!“

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

“Everything about this location is so unique, beautiful and very tastefully done! I have never had anything from here that did not eclipse what you could imagine about pastries and coffee! 10 out of 10 recommend!“

“Love the red bean latte. Solid baked good selection if you arrive early enough, but the Burritos are legendary. Note for chai latte drinkers: it is very anise-forward. (Personally I'm a fan, but I know anise isn't everyone's fave). Great vibes, kind staff, and there's always juuuuuust enough seating!“

“Visiting from Washington, looking for good bubble tea spots in KC. I really enjoyed the Mango Matcha. Cute atmosphere! The employees are super nice and friendly. Nice area for seating and cute photos with friends! Will definitely stop in again next time I’m in KC“

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

“very good coffee and great price.“

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

“The very best coffees in the northland. Maybe even in the city. Cookies not bad either. Staff friendly.“

“Stopped here for breakfast before leaving KC - so worth it! The cinnamon roll, gooey butter cake, and breakfast hash were delicious! This place was highly recommended and I can see why. The hot mocha latte I got was great too! The place was packed and busy but they weee FAST on getting food and drinks out.“

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

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

“This location of DB is the absolute best. Best in food, drinks, customer service, pup cups, and conversation. And look, one of the “Basket Winner” returned wearing the shirt she won with me and brought her 3D printed wand to make her first purchase using the wand at this DB. Keep up the great works guys!!!!“

“The building is beautiful, well-decorated, and the interior is very high-end, unlike the books that are available for reading. They also have newspapers and the place is peaceful. The music is at a good volume that allows conversations and studying. The patio outside to sit has umbrellas that provide shade. 🤩“

“Today was my husband and I’s first time trying Dutch Bros. We went to the Dutch Bros on Antioch Rd in Kansas City. We were greeted by good music and a friendly gentleman named Aaron. He was polite and patient with us as we decided which drink would be best to try first. He gave us the wonderful recommendation of trying the Blended Fruit Punch with the sour candy straw and it did not disappoint. It was tasty, exciting and our new favorite beverage on the market! Although the drink was amazing, Aaron will be the reason why we will keep coming back! Thank you Aaron for being awesome and kind.“

“You literally can't miss this place because of the giant airplane parked on top of the building. I came by The Roasterie Factory Cafe for a quick afternoon pick-me-up and loved it. I got a classic cold brew and it was incredibly smooth and bold without being overly bitter.

The inside is massive, super industrial-cool, and has tons of seating if you actually want to sit down and get some work done. The staff was really efficient and friendly even though they were pretty busy. It's a Kansas City classic for a reason—definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area!“

“Best host/server Ariana! Food was great. Drinks weren't very strong little watery not bad after ordering the passion fruit margarita was really good. I will say my coffee drink was good not much rum but still tasty. Food options were very good and satisfing.“

“Amazing flavors to simple foods and the lemonade is superb.“

“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.“

“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!!“

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

“cashier was very patient with my questions, grilled cheese was to die for, and the owner fixed my coffee up herself when it didn't come out quite as expected. how's that for service?“

“Everything is so delicious 👍“

“Pleasant visit. Enjoyed our coffee on the rooftop patio which made for a fun experience, employees were kind and helpful.“

“McLain's is the best! We use them for catering at my office often and they are always quick to respond, reliable, and work well with our needs! And their food is the best! Highly recommend 😊“

“The whole family (even the non-coffee lovers) loved 1888 Coffee. They have something for everyone in a quiet and friendly environment. Great coffee, delicious food, good company…can’t wait to go back!“

“Visited Sunday morning and was blown away by the great service! And my Americano and breakfast sandwich in their cafe atmosphere jumpstarted my day!“

“Been coming to this coffee shop for over 10 years :) amazing coffee with the best espresso! Their food/sweets are also very yummy. My fav coffee place yet. The people working are always so kind and never have to wait too long for my order. They have some good prices too“
