“ The expresso and the steamed milk are excellent! When you want to take a break from the big nationwide coffee shops, you gotta try this place. There are parking spaces next to the shop. ”
“ This place is nice and cozy and even pleasant to walk by as you can smell roasting beans from down the block and it's amazing. The people here are very nice and provide excellent service, I ordered a cappuccino and was amazed at how fast it was made and how delicious it was. I Holy recomend this place. ”
“ Probably my favorite roaster in KC. Not sure why I haven’t rated them yet. Owners are very knowledgeable and focus on small scale rather than what Messenger/Roasterie does and try to monopolize KC. ”
“ Located in an old firehouse, this roaster serves up award-winning coffee beans from all over the world. This isn’t Starbucks, folks. They roast their own blends and single origin beans on two commercial drum roasters. They go a bit lighter on their roast profiles, so if you’re looking for burnt toast French roast or Viennese roast, this is not your place. Go find an ashtray and drink that! ”
“ As awesome as the coffee is, the barista (Elliot) and the owner (John) are more so. We just popped in for some coffee and John showed us around. We saw coffee as it first comes out of the bag (from various places)...and spoke about the roasting process. This location is the Roasting location and they do also have a Cafe down the street (I haven't been there yet). The drinks were fantastic. I am on a Cortado kick and so I ordered that.....and it tasted fantastic. The latte was delicious too. ”
“ Be more rare restretto method of producing coffee that they use here matches the character of this place—which it has. I love my little shot of restretto. Of course it's bitter but the taste and feeling of it stayed with me all day and into the next It was a nice feeling. Kansas City is extremely blessed to be with very few Starbucks and a lot of magic little coffee shops. One feels as if they've left the continent (or travelled to it as the case may be). I'm glad I found this place! ”
“ This is a must go to in Kansas City! The staff is friendly and engaging and of course the drinks are done to perfection. While we were there Hanna and John let us watch the bean roasting process and answered all our questions. Great place, makes you feel good to support this Kansas City business! ”
