Cafe Reflections

When I walked in it wasn't clear whether you're supposed to walk up to the counter or just take a seat. Turns out, you do in fact order and pay first and then sit anywhere you'd like. Online had avocado toast as an option but the gentleman inside the restaurant said that wasn't an option. I ordered the Serenity sandwich. Not much of a breakfast sandwich girlie (or tofu) but this was pretty good! A few more options would be great. The seating area could use an uplift, some of the booths were dirty and some had duck tape holding the cushions together . While eating I noticed a couple door dashers come in to retrieve orders but for some reason the system was down and said orders hadn't been received by the restaurant. A little disorganized and room for improvement.

The ambiance was so nice, as well as the service. Food was wonderful & didn't take long. You have the option of a buffet ir menu & breakfast is setved all day. Loved the decor & how clean it was. They have a bar as well as a smoothie bar area. We will be back!

Very friendly staff and homie diner environment. I got the trailblazer burger with fries and a drink. The fries were perfectly fried but the burger was a little bland. I also got to try the 'KC Culinary Culture Grilled Cheese' which became the star of the show and makes a return trip a must, one of the best grilled cheese I've had in the city!

I ate at Cafe Reflections for lunch today after hearing about it on my neighborhood Facebook page. I was not disappointed!! I had the grilled cheese sandwich and sweet potato fries. The grilled cheese was filled with Havarti and Boursin cheeses with a fig jam and peppadew peppers. The cheese was perfectly melty, the fig jam gave it a hint of sweetness and the peppers a tiny kick. All served on perfectly toasted sourdough bread. The sweet potato fries were crispy on the outside and sprinkled with brown sugar. Yum!!The staff were friendly and attentive. The restaurant was clean and looked after. I cannot say enough good things about this locally owned place. And to top things off, there is a culinary school attached to the back of the restaurant!

I kept driving by and have been wondering when this place would open! The signs had been up for a long time. So there was a widespread power outage in KC, starting last Friday and, for many folks, lasting through the weekend and into Monday. I mention this because we woke up last Saturday, still no power, and decided to go to breakfast. I thought I'd seen a recent social media post about Cafe Reflections, so we decided to go there. I'm so glad we did. It's a hip little cafe with elevated diner staples and some menu surprises, too. My husband and I are vegetarians, and we were happy to see vegan meat options and other vegan/vegetarian items (including sandwiches) on the menu as well. They have good coffee options, truly excellent Southern-style biscuits, delicious pancakes, yummy vegan sausage. But their lunch options looked great, too, and I want to try the veggie burger next time. We weren't the only diners there experiencing a power outage, and from what I could tell, everyone was enjoying the place.Also the cafe looks really cool inside: I love the splattered-paint floor and the decor displays with the beehive jars and the eclectic style. It seems like a place where they threw together things they could get, and used what they had, and everything just works. We liked it so much we are going back tomorrow and bringing a friend. I talked with our server a little bit, and I got the idea that the current menu is sort of a starting-out menu---seems like more things are coming. I'm excited to see what. I bet they have something good for everyone. (LITERALLY everyone, actually: they also have a pay-it-forward options on their menu, where you can buy that and help the cafe in their efforts to feed those in need. I love that, and we were happy to help with that too.)Only thing is that I wish they were open on Sundays. We love going to breakfast/brunch on Sundays! And when we still didn't have power on Sunday morning, we wanted to go back but then I remembered they weren't going to be open. Maybe they'll consider opening Sundays and closing on Mon/Tues instead.
