The Emerald Cup Shifts
Eddie Delahunt’s Cafe & is a fantastic coffee shop (good coffee, great service & atmosphere), and unlike many other shops in town, is expanding!
Eddie is moving 1 block east from his 43rd & State Line location to 43rd & Bell. The website claims there isn’t an ETA for the move yet, but sources say the soft target for the move is June 9th. If you haven’t gotten tasty coffee from a friendly Irishman before, I suggest stopping by the old shop soon and then again after the move. You won’t regret it. Why is it called ‘Cafe &….’? Its because Eddie is not just the proprietor of a coffee shop, he is also a notable local musician. The cafe doubles as a music venue, a bar, and friendly neighborhood meeting point for all.
Now you may say, Scott, just one friendly Irishman is not enough for me with my morning coffee. You’re in luck
. For the exact same price, you get as many friendly Irish people as can fit around the back bar. In this picture, you see just one of the 6 I met this morning. Eddie’s got the strongest accent, but it doesn’t stop everybody else from picking up a little bit of it.
When I got to work, I did a little jig.
The non-caffeinated Germans here didn’t understand at all.

Hi Scott,
checked out Eddie’s place this week and I think I met Eddie, the flirty Irishman. It’s a wonderful shop in one of my favorite neighborhoods in KC.
My drink of choice, americano, was very tasty.
For the antique lover’s out there, this is a great Saturday morning hang out, with wonderful shops & shop owner’s.
see ya,

I sampled the espresso at Eddie Delahunt’s Cafe & today and I heartily agree that they make a fine latte there! My large latte was super smooooooth with beautiful microfoam and a skillfully poured rosetta. Nice atmosphere, friendly people, and masterfully crafted espresso drinks will keep me coming back to Eddie’s.
