12 oz iced latte
Caroline W.

This is a reliable coffee shop on the plaza. I ordered a regular iced latte and it was solid, nothing special but definitely not anything bad. The service is very friendly and my drink came out very fast. The patio is such a great place to people watch during nice weather as well!

Exterior seating
Grace C.

Beautiful coffee shop! My partner and I drink a ton of coffee and she announced this may be her favorite spot in KC now. The exterior has lots of seating options and the inside is cozy and bright. The specialty drink options were DELICIOUS, first place we've ever seen a sweet potato latte available and it was perfect. Friendly service, great food also.

Caprese salad on crostini toast, a breve and an espresso martini for two!

This is a great spot to grab a cup of excellent Messenger coffee and to nosh on a mid-day snack. I dropped in here on a Saturday afternoon to have a breve, and my wife enjoyed an espresso martini. They had a seasonal caprese salad on a crostini toast. It was a great food experience while taking in the outdoor seating on a beautiful day. The menu does rotate a bit, so you will find some items from time to time.

Matcha & yogurt
Andrea W.

Walked from our hotel to this coffee spot in Country Club Plaza. Great little coffee shop, latte was smooth and delicious. My daughter tried matcha for the first time here and loved it. The almond croissant was fluffy and so good! The staff was friendly and moved through the line fast and at a good speed. They have a lot of outdoor seating that we enjoyed. Great coffee, I would come here again when I find myself in the area.

Plum fir latte

The space is a little tight inside, but the patio is spacious if you want to stick around and the weather allows. Small little bakery case had a good variety of options, and the baristas were all super friendly.

When I come to KC for work I always make sure to see this spot. The food is great and the coffee is better. Each space is perfectly designed and welcoming.

Iced Vanilla Latte
Natalie H.

This is one of my go-to coffee spots on the Country Club Plaza. This is the location right around the corner from Anthropologie. Street parking is tough to find, but if you get lucky the 15-min parking spots right outside may be available. I've always received friendly and quick service here. Inside typically has calm vibes. There's ample outdoor seating, but minimal indoor seating. Just keep that in mind if you're thinking about working remote here or meeting with friends. I usually end up taking my order to-go. I highly recommend ordering a baked good to go with your drink of choice (mine is always an iced vanilla latte).

Chai tea latte

If you're a KC local, you've likely heard of Messenger coffee...but most aren't familiar with the quaint location found on the Main Street of the Country Club Plaza. A perfect grab and go location for your mornings on the run when you need your caffeine fix, but quickly. There is minimal seating inside, but if you'd like to enjoy the morning sunshine with a friend, there is outdoor seating as well. The service at this location is my favorite as I've come to know the face of each barista and love catching up when I stop in. I have yet to try their seasonal options but love the creativity in offerings such as "orange creme cold foam" and "lavender honey" selections.

The coffee here is good but this location is lackluster. Small and industrial, this is very much a to go location for messenger.

My Winner of Best Restaurant Week Meal 2026…read more I hadn't been back to Westport Cafe for a few years but now I'm kicking myself because I've been missing out! I remembered this restaurant being one of my favorites in years past . For some reason it fell off my radar. Now it's shining like a beacon of fine dining French inspired cuisine in Westport, an entertainment district known for a more casual environment. If you are looking for a special date night meal, somewhere for a girls night or just for a treat yourself dinner I would highly suggest Westport Cafe. Let's talk about this incredible restaurant week menu. First was the deconstructed crab cake (which is always on the menu) I would order this dish again and again. The way it was presented was a work of art. All the components were complex and it was fun to eat. It has such an essence of crab without the heaviness deep fried crab cakes usually have. Seafood is special here because the Trout Almondine was one of the best fish dishes I've ever had. It begs to be added to the menu. The sauce was buttery and rich with nutty notes, the citrus cut through the richness so, it didn't seem heavy. The fish was cooked impeccably, I literally had no notes. They know what they're doing in that kitchen! And you know if I can rave about green beans then it was a perfectly executed dish. They had such a nice snap and vibrant green color, they were delicious dipped in that sauce. I cannot wait to go back for another solo splurge meal. This was my second dinner of the evening so I didn't make it to dessert at the restaurant but, I did take it to-go. I'm not a big dessert girl so, it wasn't very memorable however, the rest of the meal is engrained in my mind. I remember back a few years ago I used to go crazy for the muscles here so, I can't wait to sample them again. Also, just a note any menu that has rabbit on it just completes me. It's so hard to find nowadays in Kansas City and it's one of my favorite meats to indulge in. The menu rotates seasonally (as one should) so, I need to rush back in soon before the rabbit leaves. I would suggest you rush in too, I do not think you'll regret it.

This place is such a cute gem. The baristas are super cool and friendly, and get all orders right…read more During our last outing here, my husband and I came here for breakfast. I originally wanted to try their tamales, but saw they had chilaquiles, which is an authentic breakfast choice in Mexico, so I should know. The chilaquiles with two over easy eggs were so authentically close, which the avocado exception because chilaquiles don't have avocado slices, but this wasn't a deal breaker, and in fact added more tasty protein to the mix. I really enjoyed the chilaquiles breakfast here and so did my husband. What was even more special was that it went wonderfully well with their coffee here. They have excellent java at this place.

Staff was friendly, ordered a coffee and their steak breakfast burritos. Coffee was good but I do…read moreprefer a darker roast, the burrito was great but felt like it could have used an extra bit of salt to bring out the flavor and seasoning more and maybe cooking down the peppers a bit more or dicing them into smaller pieces. The red sauce it came with was super good though and had a little bit of heat. I went there to read a book, and I did find that there weren't a lot of good 'lounge' seating options that I could see. The upstairs had an outdoor lounge chair that was cushioned but still not super comfortable. This place might be better to go and get work done at a table rather than sit down with a book and read for a couple hours, I still am looking forward to coming back but I do think with that in mind it will affect my decision on when I go though.
