McLain’s Market - Shawnee

My first time here. I went through the drive-through and ordered a market place latte. It was made with honey and cinnamon. I got it iced and it was a delight. I may treat myself to another one today!

I love this little shop. I have been here quite a few times to grab some coffee, and a little bit of breakfast! So here is what you need to know. They have really good coffee. And can make you all the coffee/espresso drinks. Including the boozy options. So that is a plus!For bakery items, they have a great selection for their size and all of them are buttery and delicious. There typically are quite a few healthy options! But, then... they also have breakfast items beyond the croissants and muffins. I got the farmer's protein bowl. Complete with potatoes, eggs, sausage (pork because it is delicious), roasted peppers, and avocado. Healthier than most things I get but still amazing. Everyone in the place seems very well cross-trained. They switch between jobs with little to no issue it seems. I watched one of the staff come out from cooking and move over to ring someone out and then mix a drink. And that makes it feel like it is a small-town market as it is advertised.

The ambiance is always lovely at McLain's and the service is pretty fast. I got the girl breakfast which has quickly become one of my favorite meals EVER. You get a little bit of everything and every bite is better than the last!

We were in the KS area for a long weekend trip and stopped at McLain's a couple of times. The pastry case was very tempting and I wanted to get one of everything. The McLain's iced latte was amazing. It's probably good I do not live closer otherwise I'd be stopping frequently to get a latte and something to satisfy my sweet tooth.

This place always rocks. Great quality food. Quick service. Excellent for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. Everything is good on the menu. Coffee is great. It can get a little loud when it's busy but I have also found it to be a good place to study during the slower times back when I was in school. It's a converted mechanic shop so it's kind of new age industrial

One stop shop for everything you need to get your morning started right. Buttery croissants? They got it! Freshly brewed coffee? They got it too! Delicious sandwiches? Many selections on their menu. Seriously, you can't go wrong here.My friend introduced me to their sugar cookies a few months ago. I fell in love. I am Asian. I don't like anything overly sweet. Their sugar cookies had just the right of sweetest to my liking. And that is a huge compliment coming from me! I love that is located in Shawnee Downtown and they have a lot of parking space. The space is very bright, clean, and spacious. All the staffs are friendly and helpful. Such a cute place to hang out with friends and family. Highly recommend.

I must say, I believe this is the best restaurant in Shawnee. It's becoming a favorite of ours as we've loved the food each time. This was our first time dining in for lunch and the atmosphere is great too. Friendly staff, an array of products sold, and a beautiful setup for lots of natural light to come in, you'll enjoy your time here. Personally, I love the amount of healthy options they have. This time I went with the harvest quinoa bowl. Very fresh with great ingredients.

Food-4.5/5Service-5/5Atmosphere-4.5/5Went to grab lunch here on a Saturday and it was pretty busy. They had a great flow for customers so we were able to place our orders and get our food rather quickly. I ordered the half sandwich half salad option and I loved my salad! I got the Mediterranean/Greek salad and the dressing no was a bit sweet but it tasted so light and fresh. For my half sandwich I chose Turkey and the spread that they put on the sandwich was not my favorite, but otherwise it was tasty. I shared a side of fries with my husband and they tasted homemade which was definitely a plus! Overall I enjoyed grabbing lunch here and would definitely go back again.

McLain's is great in general, and this location in Shawnee is no exception to that rule. My go-to brunch item is "the Farm" which is a really indulgent croissant breakfast sandwich featuring sausage, egg, and avocado. I usually struggle to finish it, but keep ordering it because I'm yet to find another breakfast item that even comes close to how tasty this one is. My only real qualm with McLain's, is that every location is always packed to the brim when I visit. Whether it's lunch during the week, or brunch on the weekend, it's a competitive sport to hunt and gather a seat for yourself. Bonus if you can snag a table for more than two people. It's a great problem for them to have, and I'm so grateful that such a fantastic local spot does so well, I just wish that as they expanded they created more space for folks to sit, or perhaps offered table service and/or seated people just to cut down on the chaos during peak hours. That might not lend into the laid back atmosphere they are trying to foster, but it would make my Saturdays less stressful :-) At any rate, I can't recommend McLain's more if you're looking for a stellar local bakery and lunch spot. If you do play the game of finding a table, an extra challenge is to try and leave without purchasing a chocolate chip cookie. You get about 100 bonus points if you do because they are so delicious, it's truly hard to not indulge.

They fraud people. Never apologized and could care less, don't trust this place, ever, way overpriced as well
