The kitchen host did a great job walking us through each recipe, showing us how to cut the veggies, mixing ingredients and cooking everything at the end. The entire evening took about 2.5 hours and we walked home with plenty of leftovers and they emailed us the recipes too. Highly recommend.

I brought my daughter here for a kid's birthday party recently and we had a nice time. The girls…read moreall decorated chef's hats, learned how to make a pretzel, and then enjoyed eating their pretzel and a cupcake. My only criticism was that the young girls leading the party were pretty low energy and it was so quiet in there. I think the overall experience would have been better if the gals leading were a bit more engaging with the kids and maybe some music was playing in the background. The pretzel was good though, and my daughter had fun!

Great local find.

My first thought upon entering was "where are the bread cubes, how am I supposed to taste oils &…read morevinegars without bread cubes?" And then I learned. Oh boy did I learn! I saw a woman pour a little bit of vinegar into a little paper cup and sip it straight, so in true monkey-see-monkey-do fashion I did the same. My first taste was the White Peach Balsamic. Forget everything you know about balsamic vinegar, stuff this good is on a different plane of existence altogether. Wow! So syrupy and brightly flavored I now understood the glaring lack of bread cubes. Who needs them? The White Peach was like jam. I was instantly thinking of pouring it over ice cream, or ... ? It turned my world upside down. My budget permitted a purchase of just one bottle this trip, but you can rest assured I will be coming back to add to my collection. If you're curious, I chose the Lime Jalepeno Balsamic as my first bottle. All I add is a little oil, salt & pepper and I have a salad dressing that knocks my socks off!

Don't let your predisposition against gluten-free stop you from going, it's awesome, being g-f is just a bonus for me.

Cue Lizzo "about damn time."…read more It took me long enough to make my way over to Hemma Hemma though it's been on my list literally since they opened their doors. When Donna Kelce listed it as amongst her favorite spots in KC I just knew it was going to be a slam dunk and yet it STILL took me this long to make my way over. All that being said, I have a standing lunch date with a friend on my calendar and after looking at her text that simply said "Hemma Hemma?" I was so excited to give it a try. I was just coming from a meeting near the Plaza so it was a quick jaunt for me, and I was honestly surprised to find that Hemma Hemma is located in Waldo, right on Wornall. Turns out I've driven past it countless times and never even realized it. For a weekday lunch at noon I was a bit worried about parking but I was able to get a really close spot right on Wornall so don't let that deter you one bit. When you walk in it's honestly kind of perfect brunch/lunch vibes. It's sort of like a marriage of a cozy cafe and a chic home kitchen. You feel welcome and relaxed. It's an order at the counter kind of place and I had their pickle fried chicken salad (forgive me for not remembering the official name!). It was divine. I will say it was very crowded when I was in there but there were plenty of seats, mostly because they've used the space well and there is ample room for single diners to sit at a large communal table in the back, which really frees up tables for folks that are there to chat with someone. Aside from all of that the food is great, the folks working are so nice, and I can't wait to return.

After wanting to go for ages, I finally was able to get to Hemma Hemma. Went there on a Saturday…read moremorning around 9 AM with a friend. There were still plenty of seating which was a relief for me. I was seated right away. I wasn't very impressed with our waitress, I'll be honest because it took her a long time to come and take our drink orders. Anyway, I started with a chai latte. She made it very confusing to order because apparently their chai is green tea so there's no caffeine so in order to do that you have to order a dirty chai with the espresso and that you know obviously made the flavor less chai forward. And they only have whole milk, oat milk, and soy milk - no skim, which was disappointing for my meal companion's coffee. I'm a biscuits and gravy freak, but I decided I would branch out and I tried their breakfast burrito but I did get a biscuit on the side, so I knew for next time. The burrito was so delicious! And big. I took half of it home. The biscuit was fantastic and I look forward to trying the biscuits and gravy. My friend got their ricotta toast and it was beautiful to look at. As far as the ambience, it is an adorable space with a lot of character. It was a bit loud because they put the tables pretty close together, but for Saturday morning, it was a great vibe. I absolutely would go back because the food was great but the waitress just wasn't quite where we needed her to be because she was confusing and slow. But other than that, I want to try their dinette! But this is one of the best brunches I've had in ages.
