Mario Natural is a selection from Hacienda La Esmeralda's Special Reserve collection, which is sold in limited quantities by Direct Trade outside of Esmeralda's auction. We've been proud to partner with the industry-leading Peterson family for many years.

With a new location at 29th & Fairlawn, we're thrilled to be able to serve even more people in the city we've called home since 1993!

Our second Kansas City cafe is just a short walk from the KC Streetcar, the Kauffman Center, the KC Convention Center, and much, much more. Stop by next time you're in the neighborhood!

Say hello to our winter menu: Mexican-Spiced Mocha, Lavender London Fog, new Barista Signature drinks, and fresh single-origin options on the brew bar.

We've increased our free ground shipping threshold, reduced the cost of 2-day flat rate shipping, and updated our standard shipping method. Look out for simpler, quicker deliveries and even fresher coffee!

Coffee review released its full list of the Top 30 Coffees of 2018 this week, and we're featured at #5 and #12! And that's not all: our sister company, Bird Rock Coffee Roasters, nabbed the #8 and #17 spots.

We had a great time hosting the Kansas City Caffeine Crawl at our Crossroads Arts District cafe on Nov. 8th, 9th, and 11th. Crawlers sampled a cascara-fermented lot from Finca Kilimanjaro alongside cold-brewed cascara tisane and food pairings complementing the coffee's flavor profile.

The 2018 Golden Bean North America Coffee Roasters Competition just wrapped up in Portland. We made five submissions and received five medals!

Lara's high score is especially impressive because it is notoriously difficult to coax delicate, sweet flavors and pleasant acidity out of Sumatran coffees, which rarely have bright, fruity, floral notes.
