Messenger Coffee
1624 Grand Blvd, Kansas City, MO
Crema's Take
“Messenger Coffee strikes that rare balance of nostalgic 50s-60s diner charm with genuinely modern spaces across multiple floors, making it equally welcoming whether you're settling in for hours with your laptop or grabbing a quick espresso. Their in-house bakery shines with standout pastries like the kouign-amann—crispy, buttery, and generously sugared—while their espresso-focused drinks and pour-overs are crafted with real care by a genuinely kind staff who clearly take pride in what they serve. It's the kind of spacious, thoughtfully run spot where you won't need to compromise on either your coffee quality or your comfort.”

This coffee has many things to mention… Structure: the place looks nice and very spacious. You have at least 2 more floors and big tables and smalls livings. Food:, very good quality and fresh. The bad side is that they can not heat up any of the pastry’s they have on the exhibition counter but you can get warm food from the menu. Beverages: we ordered a cappuccino and a matcha, I will say the coffee it is way better. Price: quite a bit expensive, they charge 1,25 extra for milk alternatives. The Avo tortini it is a bit overpriced. Overall it is a good coffee place but a bit pricy.
Great Enviro. Chocolate croissant was great but didn't have a lot of chocolate on the inside. Food took a minute but was definitely made with care. Staff was noligable and kind!
Looking for a great cup of coffee without needing to fill out an instant credit application to purchase it? Try Messenger coffee. This particular location has a 50s 60s Diner Vibe yet still modern. They handcraft their drinks right as you wait in the price is fantastic.
A lovely spot with delicious pastries made in house, and fabulous drinks. The kouign-amann is excellent! Perfectly crispy and flaky outside, with a generous coating of sugar, and an incredible inside with that perfect jammy custard texture. Atmosphere is bright and open, and the cups and mugs on offer are classic and fun.
Very overrated coffee shop. Coffee was bitter and sour. They served espresso in a large plastic cup🫨🤦🏻♀️ idk how difficult to get a proper dishes for each type of drinks. Bakery was not running, and no fresh pastry on Sunday morning. Generally place was not well cleaned. I saw a lot of negative reviews about rude service, but here I would say opisit. The one thing that was pleasant is nice people behind the counter.
