More than a café

We're here to celebrate the best of Kansas City one drink, one maker, one neighbor at a time.

Our ORigin Story

Made in KC Café opened its doors in December 2017 in the heart of downtown Kansas City, a dream brewed long before the first cup was ever poured.

The café is a natural extension of Made in KC, founded by Tyler Enders, Keith Bradley, and Thomas McIntyre. From the start, the goal was simple: support local makers, showcase Kansas City talent, and create spaces that bring people together.

As the brand grew, so did the founders' vision, a café that brought their love for local coffee, craft, and community under one roof. Today, we proudly serve our own custom blend, roasted right here in KC by our friends at Marcell, alongside a rotating single-origin feature from local roasters we admire.

Every pour reflects the passion and people that make Kansas City what it is. We’re proud to be your neighborhood café, local in every sense of the word.

The wall behind her has picture frames with black-and-white photos, and a built-in shelf holds books and merchandise.
