Broadway Roasting Company
4012 Washington St, Kansas City, MO
Crema's Take
“This Westport gem punches above its weight with genuinely knowledgeable owners who prioritize small-batch roasting and personal connection over corporate expansion, making each visit feel like stepping into someone's passion project rather than a chain. The baristas—particularly regulars like Elliot—treat every order with care, whether you're grabbing a quick espresso or settling in with a meticulously poured vanilla latte, and the owners themselves are known to give impromptu tours of their roasting process. It's the kind of spot where you can disappear into your own thoughts without the scene, yet leave feeling like you've been genuinely welcomed.”

Lovely little coffee shop in Westport! First time visiting. The Barista was so nice and made us tasty coffees. If you're looking for a cute shop with great "Joe", I highly recommend them. Parking can be limited at times but worth it!
I absolutely love this establishment and will miss it when I move soon!! Every Barista there has been friendly and knows how to make a great Vanilla latte with a beautiful design on top. They also have a variety of syrups for flavor like my favorite, Irish cream. My wife tried a steamed lavender almond milk which was also very delicious. They roast their own beans in the back and sell them and the vibe is welcoming and comfy for a tiny spot. This building used to be a firehouse so the fire pole is is still in the middle which preserves the history of the location. I would definitely recommend this coffee shop. P.S- They are not open on weekends, you have to visit their sister location right down the street Broadway Cafe 😊☕️
I will go to this Broadway Cafe location when I'm not feeling that social or I'm just in a hurry and don't want to run into 20 people I know! Great little spot. All the delicious coffee, great service, and chill vibe, just less crowded. Highly recommended.
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.
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.
