The Roasterie – The main location of this KC staple is a mile southwest of KCCC on – ironically named – Southwest Blvd. Look for a plane and you’re there (drive thru available).

Mildred’s (Crossroads) – Just a local coffee shop with a spacious seating area, but a fairly eclectic menu.

City Market Coffee (River Market) – If you want a place that has an off the street feel, here it is. They even make shakes! Word of warning, Saturday mornings are when the local farm and craft vendors set up shop – may cause distractions from MWAVE!

Messenger Coffee and Ibis Bakery (Crossroads) – Now here is where you can get a coffee, carb, and sugar rush all at once. The bakery here is essentially in your face when you visit.

Of course there are dozens of Starbucks shops around. As for the evening brews (beer, if that’s your thing), ask the locals on where to get an end of day libation!
