About Rochester Brewing and Roasting Company

Rochester Brewing and Roasting Company is a brewery and coffee roaster on South Main Street in Parkville. It makes beer and roasts coffee under one name. It is a cafe and coffee shop too.

Three friends came up with the idea in 2017. Philip roasts the coffee, Marshall is the general manager, and David is the head brewer. The name comes from the Rochester Brewery, which operated in the 1800s in Kansas City's Crossroads neighborhood.

The idea is a place to gather with friends and family. Beer, coffee and community are the three things it is built around.

Kids are welcome, and the company hosts family friendly events. The entrance and the parking lot are both wheelchair accessible. The company has a second location in Crossroads, in Kansas City.
