Mildred's

★★★★☆ 4.4 (360) • $$

"Decent spot for coffee, breakfast and baked goods. Busy place and a bit loud, but welcoming. Has a back room with a firepit. The hash was decent but I think I'll try something different next time (probably one of the bfast sandwiches). Butter cake was okay, not the best. Coffee was on the sweeter side even with ordering half sweet, so keep that in mind when ordering. Would try again if meeting friends there."

Cupcake Á La Mode

★★★★☆ 3.8 (241) • $$

"My favorite cupcake shop! I have been a fan of this place for YEARS! Came back in town and literally ran (I thought they were about to close for the night lol) to get me a chocolate obsession cupcake. It brought back so many great memories of enjoying these when I was younger. These cupcakes are always fresh, moist, and not over the top with the sugar."

Groundhouse Coffee

★★★★★ 4.6 (158) • $

"Best in Gardner! Fantastic coffee, teas and food. Rivals the best in KS or anywhere! Friendly staff and exceptional service. Very popular meeting place for friends to meet and hang out. We love the crepes that are offered on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays."

Blackhole Bakery

★★★★★ 4.8 (145) • $$

"I decided to check out a bakery for something new and I found it! This bakery was quite intriguing with croissants, honey buns,sticky buns and creative ways on their items in store. I talked with the cashier and he was excited about the store, food, coffee and owner! Filled with knowledge and friendliness. The inside could take you back to an old school family owned bakery. Small and quaint! I love this place and will definitely be back to the ham , chorizo and biscuit and gravy croissants. Welcome to the neighborhood Blackhole Bakery!"

Bloom Baking Company

★★★★☆ 4 (196) • $$

"Myself and a couple of friends visited Bloom this week for the first time. How have I not been here before?!I ordered a California melt with turkey, bacon, and avocado. I can't even begin to tell you how good the bread itself was (I should have snapped a photo!!). It was delicious!We, also, tried the lemon tart, ooey gooey cookie, and crème brûlée. All amazing! I brought a strawberry cupcake home to my daughter who absolutely loved it. The frost was a buttercream that was heaven. If you are in the area, definitely stop in for some tasty treats! I'll be returning for breakfast next time ."

"The food here is sooooo good. Definitely is your local deli. I also got an Apple fritter, and a chocolate long John they were so soft and delicious."

1900 Barker Bakery And Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.4 (133) • $$

"I was recently in Lawrence to visit my son who attends KU. I've been craving bakery quality dishes and live in a very small town that just doesn't have any good options. This place BLEW ME AWAY. I tried the lemon custard croissants, cherry danishes, and salted chocolate chip cookies. Everything was so buttery, flaky, salty, sweet!! The perfect mix. Their delicate laminated pastries are as good as anything I've ever tried and even as good as the little shop in Paris that has been the object of my affections since I visited many, many years ago. There's really no seating, it's a tiny space with some chair rails so don't go expecting a sit down experience. But do go expecting to taste the best pastries you've ever had! (Oh small side note, bathroom was pristine and so nice!) Apple Maps doesn't take you to the right location but google maps does."

Mud Pie Vegan Bakery & Coffee

★★★★★ 4.5 (98) • $

"I was a fan of Mud Pie when they were located along 39th St. and while I've driven by this spot tons of times it took me forever to finally get here. I have to say I'm glad I stopped in as this is a delightful locally owned coffee shop right in my backyard! They still of course specialize in vegan goodies, and while I haven't yet indulged I'm sure they taste as great as they look. The coffees I've had have been good. One was exceptional so I'm definitely coming back for that again soon. The ambiance is also really nice. It may be located in a suburban strip mall, but the inside is just as funky and chill as it was on 39th st. I've worked here a few times now and it's a wonderful spot to have a meeting, or get some work done over a nice cup of joe."

Park Street Pastry

★★★★★ 4.5 (75)

"We love Park Street! The owner Doug has always been an approachable, friendly guy. Park Street has the food and drink quality of a legit pastry bakery paired with the ambiance of a local gathering favorite.They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, with a variety of small and large family sized tables. With cinnamon rolls as big as your face, cappuccinos to take you to Italy and their Saturday special: biscuits and gravy, you have GOT to check them out.Friendly service every time."

Crumbl - Overland Park

★★★★☆ 3.7 (103) • $$

"Employees were friendly and quick! Their cookies are always delicious and I love that they rotate each week. I am a big fan of their mini cookies because I can get a variety. The only downside is the price, it was $15 for 6 small cookies. Due to the price, I rarely go here for myself. I do like to give them as bday or appreciation gifts as they are definitely a special treat!"

Big Momma's KC

★★★★★ 4.6 (62) • $

"If you are looking for something to fulfill the craving for your sweet tooth, look no further. Big Momma's has been around for years. The cinnamon rolls are to die for! When you place your order, they will ask if you want extra icing and/or if you want it warmed. O-M-Geeee! Wait until you get to your destination so that you can warm it up (no more than 30-40 seconds) and enjoy it alone or with a cold glass of milk. You will definitely feel guilty after eating it - then again, you may not.The sandwiches are Gi-gormous! I would order one meat to enjoy it, but if you are hungry and do not mind the condiments on the sides of your mouth, go for more than one meat, along with your toppings of choice. I promise that you will not be able to eat the entire sandwich. They have the following to add to your sandwich at no extra charge. You pick!Lettuce, tomato, onion, banana peppers, pickles, jalapenos, mayonnaise, mustard, dijon mustard, Desserts- Sweet potato bar- Lemon bar- Carrot cake- Lemon Round- Strawberry cake- German Chocolate cake- Scones- Cinnamon rolls- Mini Mamas (center of the cinnamon rolls - yum!)Lastly, they have homemade dinner rolls that you can order for your next meal to impress your friends and family. :-) The larger rolls are good to make your own homemade sandwiches. They taste better than the Hawaiian rolls."

Ray's Donuts

"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!!!"

The Littlest Bake Shop

★★★★★ 4.8 (44)

"We stopped in here on a Sunday afternoon. I got a vanilla oat milk latte (yum) and "The Midwest" biscuits and gravy which comes served with potatoes and I opted for a side of the vegan sausage patty. My wife got "The Littlest Big Brunch" which consists of a tofu scramble, biscuit or toast, potatoes and a sausage patty.Everything (and I do mean EVERYTHING) was absolutely delicious. The food is made from scratch so it does take a little while to come out, but it's well worth the wait. Staff were friendly and attentive and kept our waters full. As a gluten glutton, I can't believe how flavorful all the GF options are. I love that everything here is vegan and gluten free. I will definitely dine here again!"

Crumbl - Olathe

★★★★☆ 4 (62) • $$

"THE BEST cookies. Crumbl has become quite a phenomenon in our area, and for good reason. The cookies are HUGE, the flavors are creative, and the service is always great. Pair all of that with cute little pink boxes and these cookies really are something special. You can order online easily, or pop in and order via a kiosk. The cookies are prepared fresh for you as you wait. They are frosted and decorated on the spot, and most are served warm. This is such a great concept, and I am so happy we have them in the KC area now."

Elvira's Cakes

★★★★☆ 4.1 (57) • $

"The most delicious cake in Kansas City.!! Professional Services and responsible.! I bought a cake from there before and I will continue.! Customers have the options to choose his and what they want in.!! Love it.!"

Scola's Italian Cookies

★★★★★ 4.7 (42)

"They are patient and very helpful to assist in your choosing. Their selection is fantastic. Cakes are fresh, you can taste the quality of ingredients as well. Not the lard feeling you are left with in your mouth from other places that cut corners. You can tell they use butter. I brought a piece of cake home to share with my husband and when I rinsed the plates off in the sink it cleaned easily (indicating butter) as compared to a cake with lard in the frosting which would stay on the plate as a grease glob. Prices are fair. But be careful on the cookies. They are weighed out by the pound and that can quickly escalate. But that's on me. HIGHLY recommended."

U Knead Sweets Bakery

★★★★☆ 4 (57) • $$

"Nice small dessert shop with two types of noodles. The beef noodles soup is very flour full. Asian lady is making those wonderful desserts. I bought various cakes but did not take the photo. A few people came in for to go. It is about noon and Christmas Eve so, one cabinet is empty. You can order cakes as well. Nice small family business."

Daves Bakery & Deli

★★★★☆ 4.4 (46) • $

"It's hard to find a good sandwich in KC and this place does not disappoint. Having lived in Chicago makes me miss the deli experience. This has become my favorite spot, driving all the way from Midtown. I love the Club sandwich and they have a nice selection of donuts. Also burgers fries and malts."

Delicias Bakery

★★★★★ 4.6 (41) • $$

"For the most delicious and perfect cakes, this is your place. I have been buying cakes here for years. They are always perfection. I offer them at my parties and special events and my guest always want to know where that fabulous cake came from."

Vee's Sweets and Treats

★★★★★ 4.6 (39) • $

"Small local business with friendly staff. There is no indoor seating, so we ended up taking our sandwiches to a nearby park, which on a nice day, works. For $22, we got 2 drinks, 2 good sized sandwiches, 2 chips and 2 desserts (cookie or donuts). Definitely a good value!The sandwiches were solid. Fresh ingredients and made well."

Cellar Door Cafe

★★★★★ 4.6 (36)

"We were not expecting this to be soooo good and we were shook! My partner and I were traveling through from Portland (you know how portlanders are about coffee), and decided to pre-order from Cellar Door for breakfast. I ordered a Bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich in a Za'atar bagel along with a rose cardamom latte. My partner got a bagel, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on a dill bagel along with a toasted honey latte. Everything was so good and was ready when we got there (in a good way). The lattes were balanced and the flavors came through without overpowering the coffee and the bagel flavors were so interesting! I've never considered living in Kansas, but this breakfast made me rethink my life briefly. I didn't go in, but my partner also said it was super cute and everyone was friendly!"

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"

Main Street Coffee House

★★★★☆ 3.7 (55) • $

"Main Street Coffee House was a relaxing spot for an afternoon coffee break. The friendly barista helped us decide on a treat from their seasonal menu. The Magically Delicious was a fun (and not super sweet) latte featuring Lucky Charm marshmallows!"

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..."

Le Petit Bon Bon

★★★★☆ 4.1 (29) • $$

"Real French pastries! Le Petit Bon Bon is only open Friday-Sunday, so visiting requires some patience, but it is absolutely worth it. I picked up a butter croissant, pain au chocolate, and a strawberry croissant. They were all still warm from the oven & smelled divine. Buttery, flaky, and just the right amount of filling in the filled ones. I don't drink coffee much but it looked like they had a nice setup for pour over. The atmosphere is very casual, with an open kitchen & the gentleman who owns it doing duty as pastry chef & cashier. Can't wait to go back!"

Reyna's Mexican Bakery

★★★★★ 4.5 (24) • $

"Big fan! I'll be back for sure. My wife and I are doing a "taco tour" of the kc k area cause we're street taco junkies Rayna's chicken tacos have flavor like you won't believe I'd like to eat them 2 at a time. I also had a spicy pork so good that it reminded me of the scene in what about bob where they're eating dinner and Bob (bill Murray) keeps making mmmmm mmmm noise after every bite."

Morgana's Gluten Free

★★★★☆ 4.4 (23)

"I stopped in on a whim. I had some business to take care of in Raytown. As I'm not normally and that part of Kansas City, I didn't know the bakery was there. The store is clean and very nicely decorated. Everything in the case looks amazing and a staff is very friendly, and helpful. I got a vanilla cupcake with vanilla icing. SO good! There is a small seating area so I was able to sit and enjoy my cupcake.Another customer asked about dairy-free options and I was happy to learn the cupcakes are dairy free and they can ice a cupcake with dairy-free icing upon request. Very good experience. I would go back to Raytown just for this place."

Connie's Cookies Kansas City

★★★★☆ 3.8 (30) • $$

"Connies cookies always does a great job in my opinion! The cookies are never dry and the icing is good! I've had two custom orders in the past month and both times they've followed the instructions! I will definitely continue to order my cookies here."

Homestead Kitchen & Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (23) • $

"This charming little kitchen is a keepsake-find in our books! Looking for something unique and memorable for NewYear's breakfast after we slept through New Year's Eve, we were blown away with the variety and very appealing European-style buffet breakfast! The beautiful display of all their delectable, freshly home-baked goodies and other breakfast 'commoners', evoked a long-lost inner excitement to the foodie-me (never experienced before at other American breakfast restaurants)! All of us felt festive and intensely satisfied when leaving, since you get to browse through their little store for unique finds and sights of retail-therapy.Definitely worth the drive from Overland Park!"

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!"
