Brewery and coffee roastery to close a KC area location. ‘Unsustainable to continue'

A joint coffee roastery-brewery business is closing its Crossroads location, with its team stating that it is “unsustainable to continue operations” after seven years of serving coffee by morning and beer by evening. Rochester Brewing and Roasting Co. announced on Facebook on Monday night that the space at 2129 Washington St. in Kansas City would close on Jan. 3. “We are so grateful for the past seven years,” the post said. “It has simply become unsustainable to continue operations at that location.” In an email, general manager and head brewer David Bulcock told The Star that their original location, which opened in 2019, saw a slump in foot traffic and bookings for their event space located in the back of the brewery and roastery. Those factors, combined with the increasing costs that many small businesses face right now, led to his team’s decision to close the Crossroads location. Staff were informed Monday, Bulcock said, hoping it would give them enough time between now and January to find other jobs.
