Love, Coffee is a locally owned specialty coffee shop with a drive-through at 813 SW Lemans Lane on the south side of Lee’s Summit, Missouri (eastern KC metro). Opened in 2017 as the first sister concept of Kansas City’s Martin City Brewing Company (MCBC), it was conceived “at a business meeting” by the MCBC team — founder Matt Moore (a born-and-raised KC restaurateur from the Jess & Jim’s Steakhouse family) plus MCBC’s brewing, market, and creative leadership.123 The “quaint, charming” café pours espresso and seasonal specialty drinks, serves pastries and breakfast prepared in partnership with MCBC’s catering kitchen, and now brews beans from the group’s own in-house roastery, All the Love Roasting Co. Its tagline: “Every drink, crafted with love.”12

Description

Love, Coffee describes itself as “a quaint, charming coffee shop tucked away on the south side of Lee’s Summit,” focused on “providing customers with quality products but just as important, giving them an experience beyond their expectations.”1 The café offers espresso drinks, seasonal specialty beverages, digital gift cards, and a membership program called the Love Coffee Club.1 It has a drive-through alongside indoor and outdoor seating, and is described in local listings as family-friendly, pet-friendly, and laptop-friendly.4

Food at the shop is prepared in partnership with Martin City Brewing Company’s catering kitchen, and the coffee is now roasted in-house by All the Love Roasting Co., the ownership group’s roasting operation that grew out of the café.12 The brand’s positioning leans on a warmth-and-positivity message — “Every drink, crafted with love” — extended by the roastery’s “All the Love” tagline.12

Love, Coffee was created by the team behind Martin City Brewing Company. MCBC was founded in 2011 by Matt Moore and his sailing friend Chance Adams; Moore grew up in the Kansas City restaurant business — his family owned the KC steakhouse staple Jess & Jim’s, where he worked from age ten — before becoming a homebrewer and turning a vacant Martin City building into the brewery.3 The “All the Love” founding team is described as including MCBC’s owner alongside its head of brewing operations, market manager, and creative director.2

The café is locally owned (no national-chain or franchise affiliation), but it is not an independent standalone business: it is a brand within the multi-venue MCBC group, which also runs the brewery’s taprooms and the All the Love Roasting Co. roastery.12 This corporate-parent relationship is the load-bearing fact for tier classification below.

The specific individuals operating Love, Coffee day-to-day (general manager, store leadership) are not named in available sources.
