Provis Coffee Roasters opened its first brick-and-mortar cafe in North Kansas City, Missouri, on Sept. 26. The more than 6,000-square-foot, two-level space includes a main coffee bar, seating, a cupping lab and a slow bar; the company also plans to add sandwiches and light bites.
Provis Coffee Roasters opened its first brick-and-mortar cafe in North Kansas City, Missouri, on Sept. 26, adding a more than 6,000-square-foot, two-level space for specialty coffee, customer seating and coffee education. The shop gives the company a public-facing home while it continues to roast at a nearby shared facility and develop its wholesale business.
The cafe is divided roughly evenly between its ground floor and upper level. The lower level holds the main bar and seating; upstairs are more seating, a cupping lab and a slow bar. Its main counter stretches 25 feet and has a white quartz top with hand-milled oak accents, according to Daily Coffee News by Roast Magazine, which reported on the opening Oct. 6.
Provis co-owner Kristen Kurtz led the interior design. The cafe uses dark blue walls and bookshelves on the lower floor, while deep green walls feature upstairs. A conference room has deep red walls. The colors, the report said, draw on the company’s packaging. The upper-level coffee equipment includes a Slayer Steam LP espresso machine, a Poursteady brewer and grinders.
Provis plans to add made-to-order sandwiches and light bites developed by culinary director Caleb Wattenschlager. Co-founder Randall Buchanan told Daily Coffee News that a dedicated roastery remains a longer-term goal. At present, he roasts Provis coffee on Probat equipment at the StoneX Specialty Coffee facility in nearby Riverside.
A Cafe With Room for Coffee Education
The new shop is more than a place to order coffee: its cupping lab, slow bar and conference room give Provis space to host tastings, education and other customer services. Buchanan told Daily Coffee News that the company has been making progress with wholesale accounts and offering resources and education to other coffee programs.
For local customers, the opening adds a large specialty-coffee venue in North Kansas City, with space for both everyday visits and more focused coffee experiences. For the company, the cafe supports a mix of retail and wholesale activity without requiring an in-house roastery at launch. The planned food service could broaden the reasons to visit, though the report did not specify a start date or menu.

How Provis Sources and Roasts
Provis offers coffees ranging from familiar daily options to more experimental profiles. Buchanan described the company’s aim as balancing coffees that score highly on the Specialty Coffee Association cupping scale with distinctive offerings and consistent everyday choices. He said the wholesale program is intended to remain approachable for customers who may not want experimental processing styles.
The company sources green coffee through multiple channels. Buchanan works with importers including Balzac Brothers and Ally Coffee. The report also identifies Colombian coffees from Véntola Coffee, owned by producer Felipe Trujillo, and directly from Edwin Noreña’s Finca Campo Hermoso, as well as Ethiopian coffees supplied by Moii Coffee.
Buchanan moved to Kansas City after about 16 years in the coffee industry, with experience at Kaldi’s Coffee, Sump Coffee, Coma Coffee Roasters and Teleo Coffee. The ownership group includes Buchanan, Ronni and Kristen Kurtz, Jesse and Laura Worcester, Josh and Meagan Brown, and minority investors, according to Buchanan’s account to Daily Coffee News.
Food Plans and Roastery Timeline
The reported opening details do not specify when the sandwiches and light bites will appear, what the menu will include or how much the food service will expand. Provis has described a dedicated roastery as a longer-term goal, but has not provided a schedule or location for one. The company’s current roasting arrangement is at StoneX Specialty Coffee in Riverside; the report does not say whether or when that arrangement might change.
The article also does not give the cafe’s operating hours, prices, staffing levels or expected customer capacity. Those details were not established in the source report.
Wholesale Growth and Food Service
Provis’s near-term plans include developing made-to-order food and continuing to build wholesale relationships, according to Buchanan. The cafe’s cupping and education facilities also provide room for customer-facing services, although the report does not list scheduled events or classes.
A dedicated roastery remains a longer-range ambition rather than an announced project with a confirmed date. For now, the company is operating its new cafe while roasting at the Riverside facility and pursuing wholesale accounts. Provis Coffee Roasters is located at 2914 N. Buchanan St. in North Kansas City.
