Pitchside Coffee to Open Brick-and-Mortar in the Crossroads

Winning games and drinking coffee. KC Current player-owned Pitchside Coffee will open a brick-and-mortar soon in the Crossroads.

• Off the Pitch: Pitchside Coffee was launched as a mobile coffee truck last year by KC Current players Kristen Hamilton, Elizabeth Ball, Vanessa DiBernardo, Desiree Scott, Hailie Mace, and Mallory Weber. They will now open a giant 5,000-square-foot location at 1819 Grand Blvd.

• Coffee Goals: The new physical location will be open from 7am-2pm Tuesdays through Saturdays, and offer a special (and unannounced) menu. According to an interview with the KC Star, it will offer indoor-outdoor garage space, TVs to watch soccer, and enough space to hold “a lot” of guests.

Pitchside Coffee in the Crossroads is expected to open in the next 2-3 weeks. Follow along for updates!
