You may call us creatures of habit, we found this amazing coffee shop in KC on our first full day there and when I say it was healing, I mean it. We had full intentions on finding a few local coffee shops during our stay but after visiting @corecoffeekc we knew we had found where we needed to be. The relaxing chairs, quiet atmosphere, friendly and personal owners (Deanna and Eric) and slow pace was exactly what we needed. The core breakfast was Dana’s go to and mine the avocado toast. The coffee is incredibly flavor forward, meaning you don’t just get sugary coffee but rather can taste the flavor and coffee mingling together. I think my favorite had to be the brown sugar cinnamon which Deanna makes the syrup in house! It is like a hug for your insides. So warm and comforting. Deanna remembered our names and even took time to sit and get to know us and that truly meant so much. If you’re in KC make a stop by Core Coffee, it’s truly worth it, believe me. #coffee #corecoffee #kcadventures #kc #mo

Fun set up inside, very kind service, food is ok but their drinks are great. Nice place to relax, work, or meet up with friends maybe group of 4 or less but seating options are limited.

My husband and I got breakfast and coffee/matcha here recently(all of it was delicious). The owners were very welcoming and the coffee shop had such a cute and friendly vibe. We will definitely be back the next time we come to KC!

One of my favorite places to go for my breakfast sandwiches and lunch. Everything is made to order so if you go in once it gets busier the wait is longer but it’s 100% worth it. The coffee is outstanding and the owners are some of the nicest hardest working people you’ll ever meet.

Super cute shop! Nice decor and good tables for doing work. The wifi works well. The staff was very kind! I ordered the dark chocolate sea salt matcha with oat milk and it was incredible! Would definitely order again. I also tried the burger and it was fine. My bottom bun was a bit soggy from the tomatoes but the burger itself tasted fine. Definitely recommend!

Great little shop in a beautiful neighborhood! The owner, Deana, was the absolute nicest and made my iced latte absolutely perfect! The space is very cozy and welcoming. I could sit here all day with a good book. Highly recommend!
