    Classic KC coffee shop along Broadway, hence the name. Solid place for a nice cup of coffee with plenty of inside as well as outdoor patio spots for socializing, or people watching. Bonus, the outdoor tables have heaters above for those chilly Autumn days.

    I just did a Yelp filter search for coffee and it appears that I have reviewed 177 coffee shops. So where did this long standing caffeine / espresso fascination start? Two places: the short lived but magical Java Gaia on SW Blvd and right here at Broadway Cafe. As a record store employee in the early 90's just up the street, this was the place and only place to sneak away for a double shot or latte to give me the energy to go back to work and teach the suburban kids that wandered in what they should be listening to. And as far as music goes, Broadway has always played a righteous soundtrack. I don't get into Broadway Cafe as often as I should or would like to anymore, but it still is a rewarding visit when I do. This place is still thriving after 3+ decades because it holds on to that Bohemian Westport spirit - come as you are, be kind, all are welcome and serve a good product. This past Sunday I ventured in while in the neighborhood and enjoyed a nice mocha while people watching and nodding my head to some great memories coming from the speakers. Long live Broadway Cafe and long live the true Westport spirit.

    This is a beautiful coffee shop. There's ample parking outside and street parking in case it gets too busy. Their coffee is perfectly roasted and the amount of syrup didn't make my latte too sweet! The barista helped us right when we came in and quickly made our drinks. Overall, it's a great place to get some work done with added coffee and pastry selections.

    Broadway Cafe is one of the original hip cafes in KC. I'm not sure how long it's been open but I remember visiting here when I was in my early twenties and it had that vibe of early hipster coffee shops from the early aughts/ late 90s. I'm so happy to report that it feels the exact same way it felt back when I first came here in probably 2010. I popped in recently as I had a few meetings in the neighborhood and thought this would make a great stop for an americano while getting some afternoon work done in between appointments. For me, it was nostalgia overload as I was transported back to a more carefree time in my life. It still has a lot of eclectic furnishings, and maintains a certain je ne sais quoi to the space that sets it apart from the uber modern, black and white, coffee bars that seem to dominate coffee shops these days. The coffee was about what I was expecting, I didn't venture outside of a pretty basic drink so hard to know if their take on specialty drinks is remarkable, but if you're looking for a solid cup of joe this is a great place to snag one. The service was friendly, the wifi fast, and it was surprisingly full on a random workday afternoon. Overall, I'll be back when I next find myself in Westport and in need of a reliable place to get some work done.

    Carrot Cake & Hot Mocha

    Amazing hot mocha. Services is quick and respectful. I love the feel of the coffee shop as it always has a few or more people around. One of the few shops open on Sunday if you don't go to church & is open after church if you do.

    Super cute coffee shop with great coffee! I got an iced sugar free caramel latte and it was delicious. The inside of this café is super cute and the barista were awesome :) definitely recommend!

    This coffee shop is located in the Westport area of Kansas City and is within walking distance of several local shops, tasty restaurants, and fun bars. The Broadway Café is another spacious spot in Kansas City to work remote because there is plenty of seating. There are even a few tables outside of the coffeeshop to sit at on a warm, sunny day. Although they don't offer a full breakfast menu, there are some pastry items and yogurt parfaits. The place was clean and the staff was friendly!

    Came here for my morning coffee and it was the best coffee I had all trip. Nice building in a nice area. Service was friendly, they had a different ordering system. Had sugar free syrups available. My sugar free vanilla latte was delicious.

    I was skeptical to try the coffee at first because it specially says they make it with RISTRETTO, not espresso. But wow was I amazed. I ordered an iced white mocha with oat milk, and these days, it's hard to get a good coffee with a perfect balance in flavor from Shots to sweetness to milk, but that was a REALLY good coffee!! ALSO- the door handle was so cool!!!!! I sent pictures to my mom and sisters because we all used to work in coffee shops. Loved it!

    The perfect smooth latte and best beans
    Sunyoung C.

    Amazing coffee and our go-to Cafe in the area. Their beans are always consistent and perfect so we buy the beans quite often. The lattes here are super smooth. They do coffee well and they don't have to make their shop all fancy because it's just that good.

    Iced lattes, brown butter rice Krispy treats, and a lemon bar.
    Andrea S.

    Such good coffee and treats. Went in for an iced latte, lemon bar and brown butter rice Krispy treat. Sooo good. Highly recommend if you're in the area and need a pick me up coffee and treat.

    Cappuccino

    Nice space to sit and work. Ordered a cappuccino and it was acceptable but not memorable. Very nice baristas and am glad I stopped in.

    Cute coffee shop. I came here years ago as it's one of the few "lgbt cafes" in KC. Yes, I know there are others that are lgbt friendly, but I wanted something in the heart of the scene. The vibe on Sunday afternoon was quiet. No line and lots of empty tables. The menu has classic coffee house favorites. I'd love to see a couple rotating coffee drinks. The cafe feels like it's lost atmosphere since I was in last. Tables all seat 4 (I think). I'd love to see more smaller tables or a community table. Staff is friendly and they have their own parking lot. But I think others park in the lot or it's not monitored. The parking lot was full, yet only two people were inside besides myself.

    First time having brunch at Westport Cafe, and it was fantastic! The service was wonderful, and the…read morefood was even better. We ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes, which were light, fluffy, and packed with flavor without being overly sweet. The Croque Madame was cooked to perfection with plenty of ham, perfectly melted Gruyère, and the truffle pomme frites were absolutely delicious. We also tried the croissant breakfast sandwich, which was buttery, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Overall, every dish was outstanding, and the portions were generous enough to share. Cute place! We'll definitely be back!

    Our night out in Westport took us to a couple of different spots…read more Our main haunt for the evening, however, was Westport Cafe. It's a pretty eclectic, cozy French Bistro. I highly recommend making a reservation because the space gets crowded quickly. We started the night with "The Corinthian," which was a velvety, sweet, and incredibly refreshing libation. The food throughout the night was a bit of a mixed bag, leading to some hilarious table critiques: One friends Stuffed Lamb Saddle: This dish looked like a Monet on a plate, but unfortunately, most of the pallette tasted like a five-year-old's finger painting. One of the glaring faux pas's was the Kryptonite-colored risotto, which tasted exactly like the peppermint gel the dentist uses to scrub your teeth clean. The lamb itself was cooked well, though a bit on the gamey side. The Halibut & Croque Monsieur: On the brighter side, one friend ordered the halibut--which tasted great, though the portion left her wanting a lot more--and another ordered the fancy French version of a ham and cheese sandwich, which was delicious. My friend and I decided to split a few plates: Oysters: Served on an elegant little plate with a house-made hot sauce and trout roe, these were absolutely spot-on. Beef Empanadas: As someone with high empanada standards, these didn't quite hit the mark. While they were mostly crispy and the meat had good flavor, the texture inside was a little mushy. The saving grace was the fantastic chimichurri sauce. Steak Frites: The steak was tender and flavorful, served with hollandaise and mustard sauces. The accompanying truffle fries, however, were like costume jewelry--glamorous and fancy at first glance, but ultimately just ordinary. The staff was nice and attentive and it was very thoughtful that they told us the 20% tip was included in the bill. Note: The restaurant does get pretty loud and packed, but we got lucky and were seated all the way in the back, which gave us a bit of a haven especially since our group can be a little obnoxious. Pro-tip: if you have a sweet tooth, saunter over to Insomnia Cookies afterward for an incredible treat... It's cookie heaven!

    How have I not yet reviewed Crow's Coffee? It feels criminal to have been Yelping so long and have…read moreoverlooked this wonderful local spot! At any rate, where to start? I remember back in 2011 when I worked at the Nelson we were absolutely starved for a great local coffee house to open up nearby. We had Latte Land on the plaza but parking over there was always nuts and to just pop in and grab a coffee we'd often end up over at KCAI. When Crow's opened while I was away in graduate school I remember my former colleagues gushing about it - saying it had finally happened and a good shop had opened. They weren't wrong. Here we are, probably 10 years (ish) since they first opened their doors and they are still serving the need for fantastic local coffee in this part of KC. On my most recent visit I popped in for a coffee to take with me to a meet at UMKC and I was reminded at how great this spot is. While there are many more great coffee options nearby these days you can't fail to remember Crows and I look forward to my next visit!

The coffee flavor really came through and was perfectly prepared. The staff was also very friendly and helpful which made the experience even better. I will definitely be back.

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!
