3 Favorite Coffee Shops in Kansas City and Liberty, MO

There’s no better way to brighten your day than with a latte, cappuccino, or specialty coffee drink from one of the numerous coffee shops that call Kansas City, MO and Liberty, MO home. We’ve compiled a list of our favorite spots in both cities, and we’re positive you’ll love them as much as we do.

1. Messenger Coffee Co. + Ibis Bakery

Messenger Coffee Co. + Ibis Bakery has been serving the highest quality of coffee from the Grand Boulevard in the heart of KC since 2017. Enjoy a manual brew, or treat yourself to an espresso drink with a flavored house syrup such as vanilla, mocha, almond, caramel, or signature honey bear. Stop by the pastry case for Gianduja Croissants with toasted hazelnuts, Pineapple Coconut Tortes filled with jam, and Bumbleberry Earl Grey Tarts topped with cocoa nibs.

Breakfast at Messenger Coffee is always a special occasion, and we recommend the Spring Time Hash with green garlic pesto, the Cranberry Walnut Toast with freshly ground almond butter, and the Sourdough Waffles served with lemon curd. If you stop by for lunch, be sure to try the Smoked Trout Nicoise drizzled with lemon dijon vinaigrette. Don’t forget a toffee chocolate chunk cookie, coconut macaroon, or carrot cake covered in cream cheese icing for dessert!

2. Made in KC Downtown

Made in KC Downtown is the perfect spot to savor a handcrafted beverage while browsing through KC apparel. Ask your barista about rotating seasonal drinks like the Spring Matcha made from rosemary mint sweetener and maple syrup. Add lavender honey flavoring to your customizable drink for a real treat; alternatively, we can’t recommend the Cereal Milk Latte with your choice of Cinnamon Toast Crunch or Fruity Pebbles highly enough.

Go with the Fountainccino made from blended mocha and espresso for an icy delight, or ask for the Lucky Elixir Kombucha if you’re not a coffee fan. Vegans can choose from a variety of breakfasts such as Mattie’s Breakfast Burrito with seitan and the Biscuit Sandwich with vegan bacon and jam. Try a house-made Cheddar Chive Biscuit for a savory snack, or sample the Chia Seed Pudding made from bananas, cacao nibs, and toasted coconut for a sweet morning meal.

3. Over Flow Coffee House

Over Flow Coffee House is beloved by the locals of Liberty due to its top-quality beverages, delicious crepes, and dedication to giving back to the community with every book purchase in-store. Customize your latte, macchiato, or cappuccino with alternate milk such as coconut and a flavored syrup such as raspberry, orange, maple spice, or toasted marshmallow. We also enjoy the signature Over Flow Smoothie with either strawberry and banana or blueberry and matcha.

Tea lovers can take their pick of the Lavender Grey with lemon bergamot, the Raspberry Mint with blackberry leaves, the Peach Apricot Honeybush with candied pineapple, or the Jasmine Monkey King Green. Savory crepes include the Spinach, Bacon, and Swiss with hollandaise in addition to the Turkey Colby-Jack with sour cream. If you prefer sweet crepes, our picks are the Strawberries and Cream with chocolate and the French-inspired Lemon Blueberry.

A phenomenal coffee break awaits you at any of these places, and we’re already planning our next trip back. Once you’ve finished your cup and savored your snack, head over to Heartland Chevrolet for the finest selection of vehicles in the state!
