Rating: 4.5/5 Stars Blip Roasters is probably the most unique coffee spot I've been to in KC. 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. read more

Well for starters, it's in the neatest industrial area called West Bottoms. I'm not from KC so when I visit I try to experience different areas when possible. Parking - plentiful. Seating - much capacity. Coffee - delightful. I didn't have enough to really give a full review. But their chai latte extra espresso?? Yum. read more

Blip is the kind of spot where you walk in and you know they're going to have good coffee. We needed some caffeine for a mid day pick me up while working down the street, and Blip was the closest. There's truly nothing I love more than finding a local coffee spot when I'm out of town, so I was vibing. I've seen coffee spots that are bike forward before, but this one was specifically motorcycles which was pretty cool. When it comes to the coffee, the menu is basic and straight forward. It had everything you need for a good cup without the frills of 1098 syrups and cold foams (don't get me wrong, I like variety), but I also can appreciate focusing on the coffee rather than trying to make a robust, long menu. I ordered an iced latte and it was delicious. They also serve canned beer, cocktails, and seltzers. It's a solid spot and I'd recommend checking it out! read more

Blip is one of the coolest coffee shops i have ever been to! The way it's secluded and if you're not really looking for it, you might just miss it! I went for my first time on a Saturday morning for free yoga! The space was so huge it could have a 20+ people doing yoga with their mats. The instructor was wonderful and really sweet. After the class ended, we got a discount and got some drinks. I got the matcha with oat milk (I luv that they don't charge extra for alternative milks) and xtra vanilla. It was delicious and everyone else enjoyed their drinks. I can't wait to come back and explore more of this huge space! read more

While traveling cross country from TN to CA, wanted to find a local roaster. Yelp beehive did not disappoint, because this place already had a five-star rating. If you're not local from KC, you might think you've gotten yourself lost despite using a mapping app. Then like a bottle of water in the middle of the desert, their beautiful white building emerges among the warehouses. The vibe is super cool. Part roaster, part coffee shop, part community meeting house, part motorcycle accessories store. Our barista was super friendly and cool. I especially loved his rose tattoo on his forearm. I ordered a hot latte, with homemade lavender syrup. My partner ordered a latte. The roast blend is absolutely delicious. Rich, full-bodied, but not bitter. Unfortunately, I've gotten rid of my coffee machine at home or I would have purchased some beans. Whether you need a stop on the road, or you're a KC local, hurry on up into this wonderful hidden gem. read more

I tried this shop out for the first time and we parked around back. It is huge! Lots of seating but in larger tables, so you may have to share with others if you come alone or as a couple. There are a few places for two people to sit by themselves. They have a very cool shop with accessories for motorcycle enthusiasts. In fact they sold about 5 helmets while we were there. Nice bike displays and a variety of artwork to view. The coffee was good, they have limited syrups because they make them in house but the vanilla I chose was excellent. My husband chose a mocha and it was good as well. At first we sat in a large leather couch which was comfortable but the music was too loud in that spot (we were reading) so we moved towards a wall with tables and it was fine there. They also allows dogs which I don't mind and love animals, but there was a patron that purchased a snack and was trying to work on his laptop and an adorable puppy was begging for his snack and barking off and on to get his attention about it. So dog lovers, great place for a coffee but if allergic or other issues just know the policy. read more

Blip has been around since 2014--first as roasters, then adding pour-over service (my favorite), and now as a full-fledged coffeehouse. This spacious warehouse is also a motorcycle-centric community hangout for enthusiasts. Located in the East Bottoms on Mulberry, Blip hosts Sunday morning motorcycle meet-ups at 7 a.m. You'll also find events like the poetry slams with Fountain City Poetry and weekly yoga classes--check their calendar for dates and details. read more

Great experience at Blip! I saw a TikTok of a banana bread latte from here so had to try. It did not disappoint. The interior of this place was also so cool - lots of people working so it's a great space for that. If this was closer to home I know it would be a regular rotation! read more

Love a place with a good theme. We were visiting West Bottoms for first Saturdays and decided to try a new coffee spot. It was a bit off the beaten path, but once we got there it was well worth the walk. I had a cortado and my partner had a red velvet donut. Both were incredible. read more

I loved my visit to Blip Roasters! It has a cool, relaxed vibe and is in the West Bottoms. The best part is they roast their own coffee beans and use them to make all their drinks, which makes it special. The space has a big warehouse setup, with a coffee shop in the front and an area in the back for parties or weddings. I ordered a cortado, and it was really good. It is pet friendly, and the staff is really courteous. I'd give the whole experience a 10/10!!! read more

Second month ordering beans from Blip Roasters and I have to say I love their coffee. We recently moved to the area from California and I was disappointed to leave behind my local coffee shop. I've been trying different spots around KC where the coffee is not only good, but the business seems to align with our ideals and we have finally landed permanently on Blip. Community oriented? Check Great coffee? Check Great staff? Check Please do yourself a favor and check out Blip. read more

What a great new place to explore. Reminds me so much of old LoDo in Denver. A welcoming environment with kind faces and smiles. It was fantastically clean and family friendly. I ordered my normal, iced Carmel latte with almond milk and it was fantastic. I love the off street parking too. The area is super safe too! My only feedback would be to have more food options, they are all out of pastries and had limited items on the menu. read more

Honestly, probably the coolest place for coffee. I don't even want to write this review, because most of us like to gate-keep the things we want to keep as is. I'm a coffee snob. In KC, I really enjoy coffee from The Roasterie. Mildred's coffee is okay, but it's not worth the hassle of parking downtown. Filling Station, Thou Mayest, and Messenger Coffee are overrated. I could go on. What I expect from a basic, house-blend espresso is a smooth, balanced flavor that isn't too acidic or dark. If dairy is added, the coffee flavor has to still be present! I ordered a latte (comes with a double shot of espresso) with oat milk, and after my first sip, I was like, "Welp kids, that's it. This is my spot." The coffee is a bit pricey, but if you're able to support a local business, I'd recommend them. The building is gorgeous, there's private/off-street parking on the Woodsweather Rd side, and there's wifi for those looking for a work spot. It's also not super loud, which is great for those that get overstimulated easily. Keep in mind: at around 10:15 AM on the Monday I went, they ran a vacuum in the area around their roaster. It lasted about 15 minutes. They also seemed to be pretty busy from 10:30 AM to 1 PM. read more

Such a cool coffee shop located in the West Bottoms. Huge open concept space with half dedicated to motorcycle gear and the other for tables to relax and enjoy your coffee at. I personally love coming here to study as there are lots of tables and good internet access. Nice blend of people that come in so don't be timid if you aren't a motorcycle person (I can't say that I am), but still such a nice space! Pro tip, order the breakfast burrito with chorizo it is delicious! read more

Blip Roasters - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

I love blip roasters and I always grab a coffee here when I'm in the west bottoms. The owner is really friendly and I love how they have a "shop dog". They care about the coffee they put out and will take their time to get it right. Every time I have been, it hasn't been too busy but I like the vibe and could definitely get some work done there. It's got a bike/skate urban vibe but keep it simple which is nice. I will continue to come here when I'm in the area. read more

Came here for the first time for a hosted event and OMG! Love the burritos, had both veggie and meat, delicious! The space is large and incredibly diverse, love the plants and the little shop they have inside is so cool. Loved the separate event style space and was a great host for the event we went on..patio is spacious and has amazing sunlight..definitely a must! read more

Blip roasters is a really cool space that fuses coffee, motorcycles, and other merchandise! The ambiance presents an industrial charm and the space itself is quite spacious with plenty of open seating. This would be a great study spot. They also have a vintage photo booth that works, if you wanted to snap some pictures with friends. The coffee itself tasted great. We ordered the oat milk latte, iced banana latte, and bourbon vanilla draft latte. All options were solid, but I highly recommend the banana latte. It highlighted the banana flavor in a subtle, non-artificial way. The bourbon vanilla draft latte had a very strong aroma of bourbon, which caught me by surprise. I personally do not like bourbon too much, but for those that do, I think you would enjoy this drink! The croissants here are amazing. We tried both the almond croissant and the regular croissant. I haven't enjoyed a croissant this much in a while. There was a chewiness aspect to the croissant that was so good. It was perfectly flaky and buttery as well. Whether you're a motorcycle enthusiast or just a coffee lover looking for a cool atmosphere, this place is a must-visit. read more

At Blip, you'll find some of the best coffee, staff and vibes in Kansas City. (Try their seasonal drinks, Draft lattes and cascara tea!) They are a business that embodies their values: community, loyalty, coffee and motorcycles. For my department at work, I organized "coffee hours" at Blip and it's become something my coworkers and I look forward to every month! Their space is huge (inquire about reserving room for meetings or events!) and since they are located in the West Bottoms, there's always ample parking. Customers can use the RDY app to order ahead. RDY uses your geo-location to make sure drinks are ready when you arrive. Thank you Blip. KC is blessed to have you. read more

Community. Coffee. Motorcycles. Blip Roasters is a modern & spacious coffee shop in the historic West Bottoms of Kansas City. I ordered a cinnamon roll, latte, and a rounded up a tip for a total of $10! The cinnamon roll was massive, sweet, & mouthwatering. This is a great spot to work remote because of how open the environment is. Blip Roasters has plenty of tables and seating areas. When I visited, there were even some group meetings going on! While you are there, purchase some take home coffee beans or coffee merchandise from their small shop! Haven't checked out this coffee shop in KC yet? Add to your KC bucket list! read more

I love this hidden gem of a coffee shop. Located a little off the beaten path in the West Bottoms, this is the kind of place you have to know you are going to in order to find it. That being said, I knew Blip was in the West Bottoms so after a morning meeting I made a point of looking it up and grabbing a coffee before I headed back south. When you arrive, you'll notice there are two entrances, which is really convenient depending on where you end up parking. There is street parking out front and around back you'll find a small parking lot. For a late weekday morning it wasn't too busy so I was able to snag a spot in the lot and walk in through the back door. I was kind of amazed at the size of this cafe. It's really large, with two spacious rooms to spread out. There were some folks working and I took note, as working from a cafe is something I tend to do from time to time. I got the vibe that the space was pup friendly as the woman in line before me had her dog in tow and before I knew it I found myself chatting away with both her and the barista. Both were more than happy to make recommendations and point me in the right direction in terms of which iced coffee to select. I had one of their seasonal offerings and honestly it was one of the best I've had in KC in a while. Not too sweet, while still adding a bit of pizzazz to your morning joe that makes it fun to grab a coffee while out and about. Overall, the friendliness and unpretentious nature of this place really stood out to me, and I can't wait to return! read more

Blip Roasters - a counter with a laptop on it - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

We have now visited Blip twice and it has quickly become my favorite coffee shop. I wish it was closer to me so I could go all the time. The first time we went back near the holidays and I had a Black Forest Latte. The cherry flavor, sweetness and it was sooooo smooth. The second time I wanted to try one of the specials but due to the chocolate they used having soy I couldn't drink it. So the barista recommended just a traditional mocha and it was soooo delicious. The space where blip is, is so open and spacious. No sitting on top of people or being in their business. This will be on my list any morning I am headed to the river market. read more

Vanilla Lavender Latte What?! Yes!!!! It was like a warm kiss. So good. I learned they have a lot of their flavor things and whatnot done in house. For instance, they get the fruit from the coffee plant to make their iced tea and then make their (idk if it's a syrup or they add their strawberries directly in?) It's all done in house though and that is super cool. Support local, duh, ESPECIALLY when they're doing it "right". Staff behind the counter were so welcoming and informative. I was in to check out some music for their newly added soulful Sunday shows they have going on. It was an awesome experience. Again, I didn't know anyone but was able to chat up with a few local artists who were chilling at a table. The only comment I have, which is sort of a bummer is the sound was a wee bit off. Like, it was challenging to hear when folks were talking on the mic. I'm not sure if this is something the establishment would have anything to do with or just those who are performing? It was a really cool spot and as I mentioned the coffee and iced tea were both on point. They had moto helmets for sale, like, all sorts of cool ones (I know nothing of them but they looked cool and hearing dude inform customer taught me as well), they had a little shop set up of items and food, there were a few food items that I was later disappointed I didn't partake in. But anyway, cool spot for sure! read more

Had the pleasure of checking out Blip Roasters for a Poetic Underground event. First off, love that Blip is giving space to an arts event like this. Blip is a lofty, open coffee shop. There is a variety of seating including tables, bar, and some furniture. I couldn't quite tell what the normal setup is, since things were moved around for the event, but it looks like there are several options. Menu is simple and prices are solid. They were serving alcohol during the evening event. I'll have to come back during the day to get a better feel for normal operations. But love, love that this space is getting multipurpose use. read more

I am blown away by how awesome this place is! I had no idea what to expect going to a motorcycle themed coffee shop but I was so pleasantly surprised. Everything was fantastic! I got a vanilla latte with oat milk (no upcharge for alternative milks, by the way!!!!!!), and it was delicious. They had pastries and breakfast burritos as well, which I will need to go back and try because I'm sure they're to die for! The baristas were wonderful and helpful and made me feel more than welcome. The atmosphere is so neat, with an area selling shop merch as well as motorcycle helmets, jackets, etc., and then couches and comfortable seating on the other side by the bar. Also, it's clear they support all KC sports, because a KC Current flag was hanging up. I LOVE to see that! I will definitely be making more trips to Blip in the near future. read more

After 4.5 years and two re-locations; an update is warranted... Blip Roasters opened up a new location a few blocks north of their previous location last week. The new space is large and spacious offering plenty of room to showcase their retail selection of bike gear and apparel. They now have more outdoor seating options, although indoor seating is fairly limited, due to social distancing guidelines. The space is well curated and resembles more of a bike / art museum with a cafe; still the hippest little coffee house in town. read more
