Sunrise breakfast sandwich- great tasting bacon with egg, cheese and herb aioli on a brioche bun.. so good! A Grand Breakfast Burrito which is very generous in size full of eggs, potatoes, beans, tomatoes and chipotle aioli.. so many blended flavors that were complements to one another. We definitely were quiet while we ate.. lol! Check total was overall mid to high priced.

While in search of a nearby coffee shop that wasn't in the lobby of my hotel, I stumbled upon…read moreMessenger and found an absolute gem of a coffee shop! Situated in the base of a beautiful brick building, Messenger Coffee is a wide open, airy, bright and industrial space featuring all the classic coffees, a great assortment of house curated drinks, along with a solid selection of homemade pastries and other foods plus a good variety of novelties, bulk coffees and a few other items. The space is laid out well with the ordering counter and retail on one side and seating on the other, but it doesn't stop there...their open air industrial kitchen where all the goods are house made takes up over half the space, and is surrounded by barstools that give you a front row seat! While I loved the space, the coffee I got is easily one of the best coffees I have had anywhere...like, no joke! I went with the seasonal Iced KC Sweet Smoked Honeybear and it was absolutely delightful! Balanced, sweet, a tad smoky and tasted like the nostalgia of a honey graham cracker! Perfection. Service was great as well. The barista helped me out with selection, shared details of the drinks and made it a good interaction. Once I tasted the coffee, I knew it was a special spot, so I got back in line and grabbed a koozie so I'd remember far beyond the coffee! Overall, top tier coffee shop that I highly recommend!

It's a seamless and quick ordering experience, and you'll walk out with your lunch, a canned Coke for later, a pastry and a coffee. For the girlies always in a rush, I found your next stop. I got a turkey cranberry sandwich and the bread was the star, perfectly sweet and soft. This is a hard flavor combo to find, and they executed it so well and refreshingly. A little less mayo and more cranberry would be my only tip. All sandwiches come with chips too! I didn't try a pastry, but next time I absolutely will! Not pictured was a pumpkin cream cheese loaf, it looked amazing Thank you to the staff, they were so kind and made this first-visit very enjoyable. :)

They even have a little shop area with some super cute and unique KC gear. I had a hot hazelnut latte and it was just okay, the flavor was pretty bland in my opinion and it was automatically served in a to go cup which bums me out. I like to sit and enjoy my coffee right there and love a good hot mug, it's part of the visit experience to me. The cute shop and incredible staff made my visit itself great overall, but the coffee could be leveled up a bit. Nonetheless, I would visit again :)

The drinks are pretty good. The espresso didn't taste burnt. The chai tastes like Christmas in a way. The orange Alani drink was delicious but not as sweet as one would think. It's also not that orangey so if you don't want an explosion of flavor then this is that drink. Service was pretty ok, they were kind of busy. But overall cute place, good drinks, and ok food.

We loved the little set up with a great amount of seating, a clean bathroom, and outlets for people who want to study or get some work done. We were a little hungry and got the empanadas and both tried the Yerba mate. We've never had the traditional yerba mate and were excited we could try it here. Once our order was ready one of the employees was happy to explain to us how to properly drink the yerba mate. She was patient, kind, and professional the whole time. There's definitely a trick to drinking it without getting the tea leaves through the straw. As we enjoyed our snack and drink we could tell the caffeine kicks in a little later. So, if you're up to trying traditional yerba mate, be aware that you'll get a gradual burst of energy a little later. I personally loved the decor and the atmosphere here. They had little knick knacks you could purchase, a small refrigerator with items to take with you as well. I got a couple of key chains for my sister and myself and my boyfriend and I have already noted that we want to come back here the next time we're in Kansas City!

It is located in an industrial part of town so do not be surprised if you feel a little lost finding it. Once you get there, there is plenty of parking and a very cool biker atmosphere that sets it apart from typical cafes. They roast their coffee in house which is cool. I ordered an iced oat milk latte that was nice and enjoyable but it was a pretty standard brew. If you enjoy the aesthetic the coffee is good and there is plenty of space to hang out with friends. It gets a little noisy so bring headphones if you are coming to get work done.

The owner, Christian, is not only incredibly professional but also a truly talented barista. You can tell he genuinely cares about the craft. His cinnamon toast latte was hands down one of the best specialty lattes I've had -- perfectly balanced, warm, and just sweet enough without being overpowering. It honestly tasted like comfort in a cup. The hot chocolate was just as impressive -- rich, smooth, and not overly sugary -- and they also offer chai tea, which was a huge hit for anyone wanting something beyond coffee. Beyond the drinks, the setup created such a fun, welcoming atmosphere in our office. It felt less like "coffee catering" and more like bringing a boutique café experience right into our space. Highly recommend Phase 2 Coffee Co for corporate events, office pop-ups, or any gathering where you want quality, professionalism, and amazing drinks.
