Welcome to the Made in KC cafe! Now open at 1114 Baltimore in The New Yorker, Downtown Kansas City’s newest apartment project.
The 2,300-square-foot space at 1114 Baltimore Ave. features a coffee bar in the front, a seating area surrounded by Kansas City-created retail, and room for event hosting. A taproom planned for the back of the store is expected to open in the spring, Enders said.
Made in KC Cafe’s big draw on opening day: the coffee.
“In our shops, we work with 10 different roasters,” Enders said, explaining the cafe’s plan for rotating featured brews. “Our espresso will be consistent; We’ll use Messenger. And then the cold brew, drip coffee and iced coffee will rotate. We’re going to try to match it up with our subscription service.”
The retailer offers a coffee subscription wherein customers get three, six or 12 months deliveries featuring a different roaster each month, he said.
“As part of an educational piece at the cafe, it’ll be like, ‘Oh, this month you’re drinking Oddly Correct. If you like this, you can order it. Or you can sign up for a subscription and try all of Kansas City’s great roasters,’” Enders said.
