City Editor Krit here. If you know me, you know there’s two things I hold close to my heart — coffee + astrology. So, grab a cup and settle down to enjoy my brew of the zodiac signs as Kansas City coffee shops.
Aries: Cafe Cà Phê | March 21-April 19
Known as the bold and courageous leaders of the zodiac, you emulate Cafe Cà Phê’s drive and passion when it comes to advocating for what you believe in. Plus, the bright colors from its dragon logo allude to the fiery personality of this fire sign.
Taurus: Monarch Coffee | April 20-May 20
As a lover of luxury + beauty, you’ll feel right at home at Monarch Coffee’s aesthetically pleasing cafe. After all, nothing screams opulence like sipping coffee from minimalist glassware in an earthy wallpapered room.
Gemini: Messenger Coffee | May 21-June 20
Your extroverted nature suggests you tend to get along with different types of people. From coffee to lunch options, Messenger Coffee has something on the menu to cater to everyone. Plus, it’s only fitting to assign this spot to you considering your sign is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication.
Cancer: Broadway Café | June 21-July 22
The sentimental + emotional nature of your sign is the perfect match for Broadway Café, Kansas City’s oldest locally owned roasting company. Pair your classic latte with a baked good for all the homey vibes.
Leo: Café Corazón | July 23-Aug. 22
With “corazón” translating to “heart,” this spot is a perfect fit for the warm, loving nature you possess. You are also not afraid to let your presence be known, similar to both of Café Corazón’s stunning murals.
Virgo: Café Equinox | Aug. 23-Sept. 22
The botanical cafe in a greenhouse sums up your practical + grounded qualities. As an earth sign, it sure doesn’t hurt to nurture your roots with the company of a plant or two while working at one of its cozy indoor seating spots.

With locations both in MO and KS, Parisi Coffee is as balanced as you are. You love being charmed, and its coffee will do just that with its specialty roaster + minimalist cafe architecture.

The gray, brick-lined coffee house nestled away from downtown KC alludes to the dark and discreet qualities you possess. Its pour over, paired with the skull koozie, sums up your mysterious aura.
