Local Appreciation

It always amazes me how many local businesses Kansas City has that offers wonderful products. The Roasterie features Air-Roasted Coffee made right here in the Show Me State. A tour at the 27th street location, offers insight into the history of this long time Kansas City favorite.
It amazes me how those who go after their dreams, do so with gusto and determination. That s what happened with Danny O Neill in November 22,1978 when he picked his first coffee beans in Costa Rica as a foreign exchange student. You ll learn the history that went into developing his coffee brand in his Brookside home years later.
With his ongoing mission statement to choose the best beans, sourcing them from the local farmers who own and operate their own farms in thirty plus countries, you will see the process that goes into choosing and processing those green beans into air-roasted beans. The tour includes learning about the cupping process and later, sampling cold brew, nitro cold brew as well as how to make French press and drip method coffee.
Overall: Although I m not a coffee drinker, I enjoyed the history behind this Kansas City favorite, with the cool DC-3 aircraft that s named after Danny s mom, Betty. The Roasterie serves tea, my favorite, Wild Berry.
