Kinship Cafe - Kansas City

Stumbled upon this black owned coffeeshop to round out my coffee exploration day. Location has several seating options to choose from including a bar area. The walls are adorned with various artwork with some for sale. Like many, this location roasts their own coffee and have a few unique beverages like the MLK-Way, caramel, chocolate milk, and espresso. They try to use as many natural and organic products as they can and source milk directly from what I understood. Location also offers a limited food menu with the likes of soup, grilled cheese and wraps available. During my visit I had a traditional capp and it came out pretty well overall. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

Love to support black businesses but this was a terrible experience. Matcha tasted only of honey and was extremely thick. Mlk way coffee was also EXTREMELY thick like I was drinking straight syrup. Turkey melt was also not good. Asked for cheddar and got a tiny piece of cheese I’m almost sure was 1/4 of a Kraft single. Spend around 26 bucks and now have to get coffee and food from another place. I don’t know if this was just a bad day for this cafe but very disappointed and won’t be coming back. The lady working was very very nice though.

I work near Kinship Cafe and I try to go once a week. I went there after my interview for this job and told myself I would go frequently if I got the job. I’m about to leave that job and wanted to express my gratitude. What a wonderful gem of a place with delicious food and drinks, lovely atmosphere, and kind staff. Delicious vegan options as well my favorite is the MVP. Thank you all!

We were driving around KCMO/KCK looking for color schemes for our home. I wanted something to drink as the weather was dark and hazy. I happened to see the Kinship cafe and had my boyfriend turn back around.The barista had a great vibe and was welcoming. The interior of the cafe was inviting and made me want to stay but we arrived late and they were closing in 20. I ordered a Yam spice latte (delicious! and my boyfriend had a mocha latte (very smooth and not overly sweet .Since we were late, we didn’t order any food but bought pastries instead. I had a blueberry bear claw and my boyfriend had a glazed donut.The ambience was awesome! I loved all the art and plants (by the way they are for sale . There is a lot of seating and if you’re into people watching the business faces 6th Street and Anne Avenue. I will definitely be back.

Cute little gem worth the price also seems to be pro-humanity
