The Black Pantry
3134 Gillham Rd, Kansas City, MO
Crema's Take
“The Black Pantry pushes the boundaries of what coffee can be with inventive seasonal drinks like banana pudding and peach cobbler lattes that'll make you rethink your usual order. This spacious, beautifully curated gathering spot in Kansas City doubles as a carefully selected marketplace featuring work from Black artists and local makers, making it as much about discovery and community as it is about exceptional coffee.”

Excellent experience wide open floor plan, the BEST COFFEE DRINKS, IN THE CITY! WHO EVER THOUGHT BANANA PUDDING,PEACH COBBLER AS A COFFEE DRINK! A GOOD TO PLACE TO MEET A FRIEND OR FRIENDS. SELECTION OF MERC AVAILABLE. ALSO ASK TO MEET ELVIRA SHE'S THERE 24-7! BEST BARISTAS in TOWN!
Absolutely stunning with incredible merchandise curation. Genuinely wanted to buy it all. Great vibes, decor, spacious, wonderful drinks. Will be saving my coin to spend here and return often. (First time visitors: do note that the signage is minimal - on the glass windows/door - and a bit tough to spot first time. It is exactly where Google maps says it is.)
So for anyone looking.... The Black Pantry and Good Karma coffee have joined forces and moved to a new location in the same building as The Dairy apartments! Great coffee and hot chocolate for the kids. Kids loved the hot cocoa ---They even roasted the marshmallows! I got the Candied Yam with oat milk and it was perfection!
What a fantastic store! I came here in December for some holiday shopping. They have a wonderful selection of locally made items and big brands like Harlem Candle Co. and McBride Sisters Wine Company. I love the fact that they sell chilled beer from Vine Street Co. and their book selection is so unique! I’ll definitely return the next time I need a gift or to treat myself!
Great place for gift ideas, games, or bolstering your art or drink collection. Adjoined to a Made in KC space, this space features fantastic items from black artists and black owned businesses. The employee working behind the front desk was very friendly and helpful too. My wife and I got a couple of party games and there are some breathtaking books of art that I have my eyes on as well. The Made in KC side has lots of great local apparel, art, etc., but The Black Pantry is truly a gem and I hope they continue to grow.
