The Yummiest Bakeries in Kansas City

Tous Les Jours

★★★★★ 4.5 (34)

"Good for Lawrence to have Tous Les Jours. This location is the best, even better than the location at Overland Park because it's more spacious and also has more options. Tous Les Hours has excellent desserts, although some may be too a little too sweet for my taste. Will definitely come back when I am in town."

"This fabulous scratch kitchen was everything I hoped for and more for a weekday lunch. The cashier was extremely helpful, providing recommendations that we ordered and were outstanding. We ordered the Moroccan salad, adding Jerk chicken as recommended. We also got the Cuban confit pork sandwich. Both were so flavorful, very well crafted and so delicious. We also ordered a slice of orange poppy seed cake from their bakery display. It was moist and the citrus flavor cut through beautifully. Lastly, we wanted to try a hand pie and nibbled on the lamb and harrisa pie. Not to sound like a broken record, but it was flavorful and the pasty dough was so flakey and buttery. The hand pie price felt a bit steep for me, but worth a try. The prices of their sandwiches and salads felt reasonable for everyday lunch. The restaurant itself was nicely decorated, beautiful full-alcohol bar and also a barista stand for made to order coffee. They had a patio outside that would be great for nice-weather dining. Their front door is not handicapped accessible HOWEVER they have a back entrance through the connected office building that is accessible."

Safe Bakes

★★★★☆ 4.3 (4)

"Our family has several allergies and Safe Bakes is the bakery we depend on. They are a top 8-free bakery! The hand pies are my favorite! The donuts and cakes are delicious too. Plan ahead as it is by orders only and they are popular! We have been faithful customers for years."

Crumbl - Mission Commons

★★★★☆ 3.5 (6)

"The staff if always helpful. Why'd you do away with curbside though? Bring that back!"

La Casita

★★★★★ 4.5 (11)

"Lovely establishment with delicious food.It's really great to have this restaurant in our little town when working the hours I work. The salsa is runny, but tasty. The green sauce is delicious and not very hot. If you have a short lunch you can absolutely stop in for a quick bite and get straight back to work.They cater! They did for my employment, in any case. The fries are loaded...highly recommend. The rellenos have all of their seeds.Assortment of fountain coke drinks, as well as some 3.2 bottles, and real cane sugar sodas. (Mexican coke, etc).Open until 8pm!!!"

Icings By Ang

"I was so beyond confused by this concept at first but once I figured it out, it's actually a brilliant concept. So, you order your cookies online (and I more than appreciate there's no minimum order) and you pick them up in the owners kitchen, which doubles as a store front. For the packaging and the cookie it's more than a fair price, but the entire way my particular order when down left an unsavory taste in my mouth. I ordered a big (to me) order of 11 cookies and had a few questions, never was I given a response, so fast forward to pick up day, and I had no idea what to expect. The hours aren't really conducive to my hours, so I sent my sister to pick them up. When she picked them up she questioned the total (it was double what it should have been) and she thought she was missing cookies- both of which were dismissed so she left, her not being the one placing the order, I don't blame her. So fast forward to me getting my cookies (all of which were beautiful) and she was in fact missing 3 cookies, and double overcharged, no way of getting in touch with them, I drive all the way to the store and am greeted by a very flustered employee. He goes to the back to speak to whom I'm assuming is the owner, and comes back to tell me they'll refund me back my money "if I want" but can't give me the money back for the missing cookies... um at this point I'm frustrated but grateful to be getting back $70, so just leave. What left the bad taste in my mouth wasn't that I was shorted, or overcharged, but the fact that the mystery woman behind the wall couldn't come out and address a less than satisfied customer. Good product, but make sure your order is correct before you leave!"

Swoon

★★★★★ 4.8 (12) • $$

"Swoon's sugar cookies (formerly PS Sweets) are freaking fantastic. They primarily do sugar cookies, including a few flavor options like mojito, and will customize to your specifications. They've done customized company logos for me as well as holiday cookies and even cookies with people's names on them that we used to assign seats at a dinner function. They can do just about anything you need and they taste so good! You can't have just one. Infinitely better than anything you are going to be able to buy at a store. Great for parties, gifts, etc."

Black Dog Bread

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"Every Monday, an adorable young lady comes to my home and brings me a fresh-baked loaf of bread and some bagels. Often, they're made with other local products - this past week's loaf was made with Boulevard Tank 7 and the bagels were loaded with rosemary. The prices are reaasonable and the bread is fantastic. It does NOT get any better than this!"

Two Sugars

★★★★★ 4.8 (32)

"Amazing!!! Had a breakfast sandwich and their Werther's Original and both were delicious. Our only complaint was the cheese on the sandwich. When you got to the middle it was cold. Would recommend requesting a longer toasting. Cute space. Delicious food. Lovely staff. 10/10 recommend and will come back!"

McKeever's Market & Eatery

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (9)

"A brand new, clean store. Rows of pristine stocked items. Low traffic, nobody know they are there. I haven't seen an ad in the Wednesday's grocery mailings. NO PHARMACY"

Golden Boy Pies

★★★★★ 4.6 (9) • $

"Had their pies at Main Street Cafe in Council Bluffs Iowa. Apple... rocked for the american version [I prefer the French version sans cinnamon]. This one was just fine, though.Blackberry... a wedge of heaven.Butterscotch cream... OMG! Delicious!!The crusts were all flaky tender and tasty. For REAL!I suppose one could call and get a list of area restaurants where there pies are normally served."

Ray's Donuts

★★★★☆ 4.2 (74) • $

"Coming to Ray's reminds me of getting donuts with my Dad as a child. Everything about Ray's is amazing. The staff is wonderful and accommodating and the donuts are fresh and delicious!!!"

Peggy Jean's Pies

★★★★☆ 4.1 (45) • $$$

"Peggy Jeans has never failed with me delicious and timely made pies! The service is generally always fast and friendly. The prices are fair as well for the quality"

Kate Smith Soiree

★★★★☆ 4.4 (33)

"I popped in to pick up a little dessert for my family dinner. The store front was adorable. The staff was friendly. I ordered cupcakes and macarons. At dinner, we all enjoyed sampling the various flavors."

Country Cabin Bake Shop

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"Seen the billboard going westbound but I didn't realize that it was also to the place I was getting my delivery to. So of course I needed to take a break! You really never know what your going to get at some of these Mom n Pop restaurants and establishments but me and the Dog were down to check it out! I'm and just so happy this was a fun spot to get down at. Kim and Hannah are just amazing hostesses and bakers and run the best bakery that I have been to Nationwide. I ordered a warm banana muffin with brown sugar too and just melted in my mouth. So scrumptious!! I bought the party dip and cutest little gifts for my friends birthday later this month so I can mail those out. I'm glad my delivery was here and got to see these cute cabins and grab a yummy treat. I will definitely add this to favorites on map and will be back all the times."

Panaderia de Las Americas

★★★★★ 4.6 (17) • $

"Confession, I have never been to a bakery in Mexico. So I am taking the owner at his word that they are the best. I will also confess I like this little bakery a little more than I should.Cookies, cakes, sweet bread, rolls, doughnuts and a lot of other baked stuff I can't remember how to pronounce just yet. It is all pretty cheap too. Grab a tray, a pair of tongs and help your self. The only thing I've tried that I wasn't really into was their guava or passion fruit filled sweet breads. It is a pretty small space but I'm usually the only one or one other customer. The cashier although nice usually speaks broken English, but honestly not much need be said. They can always tell me what the flavors are and check out is just as easy. Parking although limited, a spot can be found pretty easy. Except on the first Friday of the month and than forget trying to find a spot let alone driving through at snails pace, bumper to bumper. Weekends are really chill and they do make cakes to order, like a picture of your face on it, yeah I need to get on that."

The Roost

★★★★☆ 4.2 (369) • $$

"Went here for our first breakfast in Lawrence and it did not disappoint. Portion sizes were very generous. Very much enjoyed the chorizo and egg entree. The honey brown latte was also yummy."

Brown Suga

★★★★★ 4.9 (28)

"Absolutely glad I RSVP'd for the event. I wasn't even aware they existed but so glad to now know. The Ambiance was small warm clean and smell delicious. It wasn't busy when I went in so service was nice and fast, they answered my questions. Some of the nicest ladies ever I not only support black businesses but small ones as well they give you a personable experience.Those were some of the largest cookies I have ever seen. I ordered the peanut butter, snickerdoodle, Birthday Cake and the delicious Double Chocolate. Those cookies are Fabulous great flavor nice chew and no crumbs..you heard me No Crumbs No oily fingers while driving, these are safe cookies. I highly recommend going might I add I'm going back cause there will make great ice cream sandwich cookies delicious especially the chocolate. Go ahead live a little and give them a try."

Crumbl - Gladstone

★★★★☆ 3.8 (21) • $$

"I visited the Gladstone location on a tuesday afternoon. Despite the fact that it seemed a little busy, ordering and delivery was fast. When you walk in, you order on the tablet, and each week there are new flavors of cookies. Cookies are $4 each, but theyre fairly large and rich in flavor. Since they each come in a box, i usually eat half, and save the rest for later. There is no seating available in the store.Compared with other cookie shops in the metro, Crumbl will serve you a great cookie--and fast!--but the cost will add up quickly."

Headrush Roasters Coffee & Tea

★★★★☆ 4.1 (90) • $$

"Got a small hot hazelnut latte and a small iced caramel latte. Both were good. I went in the drive thru, which is great if you can't go inside. The menu is easy to read and there are a lot of options. But the ounces are not listed on the menu outside. So when she handed me the drinks, the small hot latte seemed like an extra small! I looked up the menu later and saw that the hot is 8oz and the iced is 12oz. Might want to add the ounces on the menu outside, especially for people who haven't been there before and didn't know. I didn't know that the hot and iced were different sizes."

Cooper's Coffee + Eatery

★★★★★ 4.8 (59) • $$

"I just read someone's review that stated this was an oasis and I couldn't possibly have picked a better word myself. There seems to be nothing out here off of 70, but then you pull off and there is this bright, clean, welcoming coffee joint with yummy sandwiches. The people were friendly, food was good, and did I mention it was clean? We both ordered the sunrise breakfast sandwiches (YUM). My husband got a drip coffee and I got a monthly special -- the mudhopper (dirty matcha, oat milk, with a simple syrup) -- it slapped. Would recommend to anyone looking to stop for coffee!"

Karma Cakes

★★★★☆ 4 (37) • $$

"I ordered a cake for my son's college graduation and got just what I wanted! I had never been here, and was surprised when I went in to get the cake at how cute the shop was! They have a nice little bakery case and some cute little gifts and a nice seating area.The cake was AMAZING!!!! it was so moist and the frosting was sweet but not headache inducing sweet! I will most definitely be going back to try more of their goods!!!!"

Cake Affairs

"I attended a wedding in Carrollton that Tammy catered the cake and cupcakes. The were absolutely delicious!! I have never tasted a better cupcake!"

Cookie Bliss

★★★★★ 5 (11)

"My boyfriend's mom sent him cookies for his birthday and these were some of the best cookies I have ever had! I have had many sugar cookies that were hard and bland but these were perfect. The cookies were soft and the icing had a great flavor! Not to mention that the design was very cute. The cookies were also packaged nicely and there was no damage to them at all from shipping. I will be ordering these for any special events coming up because I am so excited to share these with friends and family!"

The Lemon Cake Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (16)

"Update, the lemon cake was excellent. Can't stop eating it. Note: If you want the smaller size you need to order ahead."

Dutch Country Cafe

★★★★★ 4.7 (36)

"I was in town for work and ate here a couple of times but most of the time I would order a cinnamon roll to go. They are delicious. Of the couple times I did actually eat here once I had a (you guessed it) cinnamon roll, the other time I had an omelet that was great. Good food, good service, clean restaurant."

The Russell

★★★★★ 4.7 (380) • $$

"I love the rustic energy in here. Staff was super courteous and hospitable. Food was on point. You can't ask for more when you come here.We got the Russell salad - has chopped brisket, arugula, goddess dressing, olives, onion, tomato, and a piece of rosemary on top for the aromatics. Great touch. We literally devoured the entire bowl and didn't leave anything.Staff recommended the voodoo chips and we appreciated this amazing recommendation. It honestly complimented the salad extremely well.They have a whole bunch of soups, salad sandwiches that when we looked at the tables, we were like "we gotta try that next!"We got glass of Chardonnay, which was actually smooth and strong. Exactly what you want from a white wine.Highly recommend this place if you're looking for fresh ingredients, great service, and a good time.Thanks, back to corporate work The Russell!"

Los Morales Bakery

★★★★★ 5 (4)

"Super friendly service and the smell of baking bread and sweets is heavenly! Try the donuts and tres leches cake - you will thank us later. Frosted cakes are beautiful - will be back to grab one for the next family birthday."

Ibis Bakery

★★★★★ 4.6 (80) • $$

"Oh, the croissants that come out of this place!! Light, buttery and PERFECTION for anytime of the day. The focaccia is so rich with herbs, and don't even ask about the brioche!! Spectacular offerings at our neighborhood coffee shop! (Black Dog)"

1900 Barker on Mass

★★★★☆ 4.4 (20)

"One of my favorite cafes in town. I have not ordered a dish from here that I did not enjoy. Their pasties are a must. I gave it four star because of their wifi policy. Was pretty surprised to find out they turn off their wifi at 1030am."

Auntie Em's Deli & Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (36) • $$

"All right, I feel the need to update my review after several trips here. I am going to knock it down a star, but that still means I enjoy it. The sandwich you choose really makes a difference here. The reuben is still, in my mind, very excellent. I should have just stuck to that - it's probably 4-5 stars. I have also had the club sandwich which is 2-3 stars. For $7 (with tax), you don't get much in the terms of meat or cheese. It's tasty, but not excellent. So it just doesn't seem to have the greatness that its price should warrant. I will keep going here from time to time as money allows, but will need to learn exactly what sandwiches to stick to. Some are great, some are just "meh". The service is still friendly, and the store is clean and nice. The little shop in the back has some neat stuff, but I still have not bought anything to explore how much I like it. One of these days..."

Yellow Brick Bakery

★★★★★ 4.6 (25) • $$

"We obviously don't get out to any of the Farmer's Markets in the area as much as we should or we would have discovered this bakery a lot sooner! Fortunately for me, they decided to open up a store close to my house! After seeing pictures online of their cronuts, I knew I needed it ASAP. Unfortunately, they were out of cronuts both times we had stopped by but it allowed us to try other items. So far we are absolutely OBSESSED with the pecan sticky buns and the candied jalapeno, bacon and cheese hand pies. The crust on the hand pies is AMAZING! I normally don't like pie crusts but these are so buttery and flaky after you have warmed them up. I can't wait to try something new each time we visit."

Smallcakes Lawrence

★★★★★ 4.7 (19)

"Stopped off to get a cupcake treat for a friend. Wow! So many cute cupcakes to choose from. The sales attendant was very sweet and helpful. She talked us through the selections available. She also steered us in the right direction. She made some very good recommendations and stayed within the price points. They had lemon cupcakes, birthday sprinkles, tons of chocolate and many other delicious and pretty selections. It was so difficult to choose. They also had cupcakes in a cup!There was a sale and I almost came out with 6 cupcakes instead of one. Lol. This store was easy access, too. There is a large private parking lot in front of the store which is located in a busy strip mall. Great selection, reasonable prices and friendly service. You won't be disappointed!"
