6/1/2025: amazing! CORE COFFEE - KC MO. Delicious coffee; the barista (Deana, co-owner with her husband, Eric) makes incredibly good espresso & matcha drinks. She can make anything! Food - cooked by Eric - is wonderful. Great hang-out spot. Lots of locals / regulars, but they welcome everyone. Support small business!!!

Core Coffee & Eatery offers a refreshing blend of great coffee and healthy food options. The atmosphere is modern and relaxing, perfect for working or catching up with friends. The staff is friendly and efficient, and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. Definitely a spot worth revisiting for breakfast or lunch!

My husband and I got breakfast and coffee/matcha here recently(all of it was delicious). The owners were very welcoming and the coffee shop had such a cute and friendly vibe. We will definitely be back the next time we come to KC!
Michelle Dobson
Nice atmosphere, decorated with live plants and artwork. The parking is streetside, but I didn't have any trouble finding a spot. I had a chai late, which was a bit sweeter than I prefer, but still good. The drip coffee was good, too!
Sally Allen
Cute little spot, excellent breakfast sandwich. I had one of the best London Fogs ever. Their Rose Matcha (iced) is really, really good. Friendly service.
First off, service and environment are top-notch. I'm from NY and am very particular about cafes, too. I had the vegan tacos, pumpkin spice latte, and a cinnamon roll. All delicious! Definitely returning when I visit KC again.
You may call us creatures of habit, we found this amazing coffee shop in KC on our first full day there and when I say it was healing, I mean it. We had full intentions on finding a few local coffee shops during our stay but after visiting @corecoffeekc we knew we had found where we needed to be. The relaxing chairs, quiet atmosphere, friendly and personal owners (Deanna and Eric) and slow pace was exactly what we needed. The core breakfast was Dana’s go to and mine the avocado toast. The coffee is incredibly flavor forward, meaning you don’t just get sugary coffee but rather can taste the flavor and coffee mingling together. I think my favorite had to be the brown sugar cinnamon which Deanna makes the syrup in house! It is like a hug for your insides. So warm and comforting. Deanna remembered our names and even took time to sit and get to know us and that truly meant so much. If you’re in KC make a stop by Core Coffee, it’s truly worth it, believe me. #coffee #corecoffee #kcadventures #kc #mo

Great little shop in a beautiful neighborhood!
The owner, Deana, was the absolute nicest and made my iced latte absolutely perfect!
The space is very cozy and welcoming. I could sit here all day with a good book.
The staff fostered an unwelcoming atmosphere and displayed extreme rudeness, particularly towards minorities. Won’t be going here again. Coffee not great, other great local shops to support in the area.

I am usually a black coffee or cold brew drinker, but the Mexican cold brew was not overly sweet and had just the right amount of spice. Great spot to visit in Northeast Kansas City!

One of the best in the city, highly recommend. They have so many syrup options. I don’t always go for any sweetener, but all the options are too fun not to. I’ve tried their latte and matcha, both are fabulous
Good customer service ❤️
