About Crows Coffee

Our nest is your nest 

Crows Coffee started in Kansas City with a simple idea: create a place that feels like home, with really good coffee to match. After years spent traveling and working out of coffee shops, founder Zach Moores set out to build the kind of place he was always looking for. In 2014, that idea became the first Crows Coffee in South Plaza, just steps from UMKC.

Today, we’re still rooted in that same goal. We roast our own coffee, run our own bakery, and serve everything fresh across our three cafés in Kansas City: South Plaza, Waldo, and Red Bridge.

More than what’s in the cup

We believe a good coffee shop does more than serve coffee. It supports the people and places around it.

That means featuring items from local businesses like Ruby Jean’s Juicery and Daily Culture Kombucha, creating space for local groups to gather, and showing up for our communities however we can. From the coffee we roast to the food we bake fresh to the conversations that happen across the counter, everything we do is meant to bring people together.

Cafe hours: Open 6am to 7pm daily

A few things about crows… the birds. Literally 

They know who you are.

Crows can recognize faces and remember people over time. We try to do the same.

They’re smart and wired to solve. 

Crows adapt, create, and make things work in any circumstance. That’s how this place was built.

They always have something to say.

Crows use different calls to communicate what’s going on. Around here, conversation and laughter come easy.
