Messenger Coffee Co.

Born out of a desire to elevate Kansas City's coffee culture, Messenger Coffee Co. set out to create a transparent, ethically driven coffee experience. Their mission emphasizes direct sourcing and building lasting relationships with farmers, ensuring quality and sustainability from farm to cup. Over the years, Messenger has become a hub for coffee education and community engagement, hosting events and collaborations with local businesses. Their multi-level flagship space marks a milestone in local coffee, blending roasting, baking, and hospitality all under one roof. Messenger’s broader vision is to foster connection and growth, both within Kansas City and in the global coffee community.

Messenger’s coffee program showcases meticulous sourcing, in-house roasting, and careful brewing across all methods—from balanced espresso to nuanced pour-overs. Baristas exhibit strong technical skill and a genuine passion for the craft, always ready to talk origins or recommend something new. Signature drinks, like their honey lavender latte or seasonal cold brew infusions, stand out for both creativity and precision. The food menu is anchored by house-made pastries and breads, crafted daily in the open bakery. Spacious seating, ranging from communal tables to cozy corners and rooftop perches, lets guests enjoy drinks in high-quality ceramics or stylish to-go ware.
