Great fresh food and friendly service. If you enjoy homemade soup and bread, this is the place. This is cafe food at it's finest. read more

What a fabulous sandwich! The food was so good and the bread was out of this world good. We also had the delicious potato soup and carrot cake (yum!!). It is hidden away in the bank building but is definitely worth the trouble of seeking it out. read more

Adrian's Cafe - Such a good sandwich! - Sandwiches Near Me - Lenexa, Kansas

I did come back to Adrian's and the service was extremely commendable. I was having a bad day and really needed something to pick me up. I figured I would go and get lunch here considering I really loved my lunch the other day. It really does feel like a cafe inside of Adrian's and with it being like 45 degree randomly today, it was so comfortable, cozy, and felt very neighborhood oriented. While I had been disappointed at first by the service on the phone, I recognize that they had someone training and it's hard to balance all of the orders they get! The owner actually called me back when I hung up after being on hold for a sec, which is absolutely going the extra mile. I was already on my way and going to place that order but gosh he was so awesome! Rare anymore these days that anyone lets you try anything before you get to buy it and the owner let me try their chicken salad (since I was skeptical) and they had run out of chicken breast for the day. I really try to stick to mainly eating chicken, but the owner convinced me to try some of their bacon on top of it and it is one of the best sandwiches I can say I've had. Absolutely will be a regular at this location. Everything is delicious. Everything is fresh. You won't believe that you can get quality like this at a corporate restaurant, but you CAN read more

Food was amazing! Chicken salad on sourdough and all made from scratch. Guy, the owner, super friendly. Great place

Great spot for amazing soup and sandwiches. The bread is amazing it's thick and moist. Generous helping of meat and toppings. It's guaranteed to be a two hander! The dessert variety is impressive. Lemon have the perfect pucker and sweet balance with a firm creamy texture and buttery crust. The carrot cake doesn't disappoint, moist and light with good flavor. All the cookies have been good. It's located on the 1st floor of a bank and service is run cafeteria style. Service is good and I love that the bread is made in house. read more

This place is a hidden gem. This restaurant is family owned and awesome people. The food is sandwiches, soup, salads, pasta, chips and great desserts. The sandwiches are made to your liking with the bread if your choice. Soups are always a hit and for most you can't pass up their desserts. read more

The man who I believe to be the owner solicited me for sex upon walking in. I IMMEDIATELY walked out. Upon entering the restaurant, the man behind the counter said, "Hey, Come here." I looked at him kind of puzzled and said, "What?" and he repeated it, "Come here." So, I walked towards him and said, "Is there something wrong?" He said, "How much?" and I said, "How much for what?" He was half sitting on a table behind the counter, with his hands kind of resting near his crotch, tugging at his pants and he pointed at his crotch and said, "HOW MUCH?" at which point I threw my hands up and said, "I'm OUT!" and I turned around and left. Unbelievable. I can't believe that just happened. People are nuts. This was totally inappropriate behavior from a business owner. read more

I first had Adrian's Cafe when they catered the KC Air Show in 2022. When they returned last year, I was delighted! We finally made it out to the restaurant today. It was absolutely wonderful! The bread was so fresh and super soft. The soup was delicious as well, which I had not tried before. The employees were very friendly. We will definitely make it out here again! 5/5 stars! read more

Adrian's Cafe - Turkey Sandwich + Broccoli Cheddar Soup - Sandwiches Near Me - Lenexa, Kansas

What a hidden gem. This is inside the bank building. I had the egg salad and chicken noodle soup. Both were fresh and tasty. Don't miss the carrot cake. It's phenomenal! A bit on the pricey side- but you can tell it's quality ingredients. read more

I cannot remember the last time I had Adrian's but I'm thinking it was shortly after they opened!??! Anyway, met a friend here for lunch and I'm a fan. The feel is oddly cafeteria vibe but the food is so good. Had a half a club sandwich with a salad, the salad was just ok so next time I'd probably skip it. The sandwich though was elite and the bread was heaven. The carrot cake was also delicious. I've heard the chicken salad is good so I'll be back to try that. read more

The food and service was incredible! The food is all homemade and I want that carrot cake recipe. I definitely recommend the BLT with white bread and the baked potato soup. It was a little bit hard to find though. Oh and did I mention they gave us a FREE slice of carrot cake? 5 STARS, SO COMING BACK read more

Adrian's is a wonderful place for lunch to go or to eat there. All their breads, cookies, soups and sandwiches are homemade and delicious! I highly recommend you patronize this business with extremely hard working and honest owner and employees! read more

Delicious chicken noodle soup! You can taste the freshness of the food, especially the bread. The carrot cake was also quite tasty. Only reason I'm taking a star off is because of the baked potato soup. It was not good at all--very thick and tasted like a canned soup. Other than that though, everything else was delicious and I will be back! read more

The outer corporate bank building threw me off but I saw the location name on the outer corner and walked in through the lobby. The smoked turkey sandwich I had was amazing. Bread perfect. Great serving of turkey. They make it right in front of you. This was my first time getting a sandwich in Kansas that reminded me of the deli sandwich goodness I used to get in NYC and Jersey. I will be back again and again. The GM was funny. He was behind the counter next to the sandwich guy and I wasn't sure what I wanted in my sandwich after the meat and the cheese. He offers me a slice of bacon and then pretends to take it away like he wasn't sure that was what I wanted I wasn't thinking of bacon while ordering my sandwich but I put it in after the sample. Everyone was really nice too. Is it weird that I'm looking forward to lunch tomorrow? read more

ts mango was so 67 me and da boiiis kept yelling 67 the mango pancakes are so 41 and the service was so amazing ts is such a tuff 67 mango boi restaurant read more

My husband and I were in there yesterday for lunch and the minute we walked in Guy (the owner) said, "Hi, how are you? You two look great". We said thanks, so do you as he had lost some weight from the last time, we saw him. My husband did some work for Guy at the restaurant several years ago, so he knows both of us when we visit for lunch. Nothing out of the ordinary for him to be friendly and acknowledge when we come in.....until it got out of hand. He proceeded to come around the counter and shake my husband's hand and then gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek and at the same time grabbed my butt. We don't know him on this kind of level, so this was really awkward. He asked if we were married meanwhile grabbing my hand to see if I had a wedding ring on. We told him yes. As he proceeded back around the counter, he kept saying I don't think you are married. Do you have your marriage license, driver's license, or anything showing me you are married. Meanwhile one of the workers who has worked there for several years was trying to fix our sandwiches. Guy said don't charge them, it's on me. The worker said OK and I proceeded to tell him what I wanted. Guy grabbed the workers hand and said no, I got it. The worker left and stood in the doorway to the kitchen watching it all unfold. Guy comes back around the counter and proceeds to get close to me brushing up against me touching my boobs (trying to be discreet) meanwhile telling my husband how he overcharged on the work he performed years ago....that he was so happy about at the time and all the other times we have come into his restaurant raving about his work. Guy walks back around the counter and the worker says you have taken this way too far...and out we left! read more

horrible the effoc here tasted like goon sauce and they costed 67 dollars they also didnt give me a barbershot hair cutt that cost a quarter. they also sent me to grimace island so that i could gain xray vision for gripper 1 star this was a horrible experiance read more

Still like this place and the owner. Located in the bank corner makes it a challenge to find, but worth the search. Great sandwich and even better soup. The fact they still bake the bread and cut it right in front of you makes this place awesome. The desserts are special too. If you want fancy then keep looking. If you want a good soup n sandwich joint, you found it. Check out the chicken salad, just like your mom made. Real chicken, real mayo, and really good! A few of the reviews tend to nit pick the owner. Just a good old boy trying to make a living keeping you fed with great food. He we will bend over backwards to make your dining experience a good one. read more

Customer Service is hit and a LOT more miss these days. And good food doesn't make up for bad experiences. During COVID, the Core First bank building was a ghost town. Adrian's Cafe was hanging on by a thread to keep their doors open (Owner's words). They were bending over backwards with customer service. We always placed to-go orders. THEY even told us, "Just call in your order; and we'll have it all ready when you get here." Now that COVID is over and the building is back to being fully staffed, Adrian's is doing really well again. So well, they won't take our call-in orders to-go anymore. "It'd be easier if you just came and stood in line. Otherwise it will be at least an hour before we could make your to-go order." Way to show your support to those who supported you when you needed it, Adrian's. We won't be calling you anymore. Goodbye. read more

This is the best sandwich in Kansas City. Truly a hidden gem, a classic sandwich with no frills. Bread is as soft as a pillow and bacon is thick and delicious. Friendly staff and owner always makes you feel welcome. I typically opt for the classic turkey, but you can't go wrong here. Do not miss this place! read more

That bread is out of this world. Super fast service every time I have been there, super easy to pop in and out! If you are looking for a fantastic sandwich, add this place to your list! read more

Loved the fresh pumpernickel bread option for a BLT. All the food is made fresh and simple. The carrot cake is outstanding, none of those nasty little raisins. Just the right amount of sweetness. Straight perfection! Two gentlemen, were friendly and efficient. read more

Visiting from out of town and came here for a quick lunch. Staff was very nice and helpful. I had a turkey sandwich on white bread and a peanut butter cookie. The bread was delicious and soft and the sandwich made me feel at home! The ambience of the cafe is a bit strange since it's in a bank, but the yummy food makes up for it! read more

I found this hidden gem thanks to a FB discussion on the best chicken salad sandwiches in the city. Everything is made to order as you watch including the fresh sliced breads. The chicken salad was deliciously simple with near perfect seasonings. read more

Best lunch spot in Lenexa for ages! We have been going to Adrian's for many years and it never disappoints. Soups, salads and sandwiches are the best by far, miles above the rest! Fresh thick cut bread made daily, bacon to die for! Love the personal treatment and way they customize their sandwiches. The soups are amazing especially the Baked Potato...blended perfectly! Don't even get me started on their cookies. Skip Panera and the other chain places and eat healthy at a real family locally owned spot that deserve the recognition! Thanks! read more

Everything is made fresh. We brought over 20 people here on a Saturday and the two employees were extremely efficient. Maybe the best bread I've ever had. read more

Best soup and sandwiches in Johnson County. Idd location but worth the trip. Homemade bread is something you wont find anywhere else

Great fresh baked bread for the sandwiches. I had a great egg salad sandwich, and my husband had a the corned beef. They weren't kidding when they said the corned beef was good. He really liked it. I had a piece of carrot cake, too, and it was one of the best I've had in a long time. Super fresh and delicious great frosting, too. Would definitely recommend. The service was great, too. read more

If I'm craving some soup and sandwich, and I'm too lazy to drive to Panera for lunch, this is where I'll go. I didn't know about it until my coworkers show me, since it's hidden in a bank! The place is pretty popular in the area, but since I don't eat lunch until 1:30-2ish, it's not too packed. My favorite is the chili soup and a half BLT sandwich, which is only $9! Add a small drink and you're set for lunch. The workers are friendly, and the place is always clean. They use fresh homemade ingredients, like their bread, so you know you're not eating breads from a grocery store. Love it! read more

Adrian's Cafe - Sandwiches Near Me - Lenexa, Kansas

This place looks like a corporate cafeteria in a bank building, but don't be fooled by the outside. I almost left, but I'm glad I didn't, because it was one of the best turkey clubs I've EVER HAD. The wheat bread was soft and delicious, the turkey slices cold and stacked high, and the bacon... oh the bacon, thick and crunchy. A few toppings and mayo, I appreciate them keeping it simple. The result was a heavenly sandwich that I will exit 435 on 95th street for many times in the future. read more

I was so excited to learn that there was an Adrian's location near Lenexa. I've been getting sandwiches from the OP location for about 7 years but it's pretty far from work and home. I have tried the Lenexa location twice now and I don't think I'll be back. Both times I arrived later in the afternoon, (1:45-2:00ish) and both times I was the only customer in the place, but nonetheless I was ignored by the employees when I both walked in the door, and when I went to the counter to order. Before my order was taken the people behind the counter finished their own conversations, and side work before even saying hello while I stood there watching them uncomfortably. The first time I went, I got my sandwich to go. I saw some desserts sitting out behind a glass partition. They looked wonderful, but had two flies circling them, so I didn't order any. The sandwich was good. The fresh baked bread was awesome. The second time I tried this location, after being ignored at the door and the counter again.....I decided to eat my sandwich there. Once I got my food, I searched for a clean table and could not find one. Literally every table in the place was dirty, and the employees were seemingly just standing around. To go along with the dirty tables, there were gnats EVERYWHERE. Little tiny bugs were flying all over the restaurant. Several even landed on my food. I ate as I swatted bugs away, but eventually got too grossed out to eat, so I left. As I walked out, no one said "thank you" or acknowledged my presence. I glanced to the desserts, and again, flies swarmed above them. I will not be back. It's a shame. The food here is so good, but the employees need to put the customers, and the cleanliness of the restaurant first. read more

Adrian's is such a gem! I found it while working at Corporate Woods and fell in love. The chicken salad on a croissant is my absolute favorite along with the carrot cake. Soups and chili are amazing, too. All made in house. Do yourself a favor and give them a try! read more

Finding Adrian's might be a little difficult, if you don't know it is there. Luckily, Brian A. tipped me off and we had lunch at this little cafe attached to a bank. Half Beef and Cheddar on wheat and Cheddar Cheese Soup. The bread was sliced per order and though it was thick, it was soft and manageable. I didn't feel like a dog gnawing on a biscuit. The soup was plenty tasty. They had a French dip special and three soups to choose from. The employees were really nice and offered us a sample of the soup before we made our decision. The soup could have been substitute for a huge salad, if one should desire such a thing. A simple lunch, but the food was fresh and delicious and the people were courteous and efficient. Very clean and had plenty of seating. Not many people there at 11am on a Friday. read more

Adrian's Cafe - Cheddar Soup, Beef/Cheddar on Wheat. - Sandwiches Near Me - Lenexa, Kansas

Good food. Good service. Just a great local place. Been a fan since they were located on Santa Fe.

Hard to find place (its in a bank building) but worth visiting. Everything made from scratch and huge portions. I had a turkey sandwich on home made white bread with fresh veggies, and then a little piece of carrot cake for dessert that tasted like it was sent from heaven. Looks can be deceiving because it just looks like a cafe for the bank but it really is good! read more

My lunch special (half sandwich with salad or soup) was delicious. The salad had plenty of fresh spinach with strawberries and a delicious dressing. The sandwich had tasty, fresh, thick sliced bread and plenty of turkey with fresh veggies. The service at the counter was friendly and fast, and the dining area inside the CoreFirst bank building was nice and spacious, with upbeat background music. Excellent! read more

Avoid this place. I was judged and treated pretty poorly upon entry and at first sight by the GM(I think). I never even got a chance to order anything! He told me NO and stormed off grumbling something under his breath before I even had a chance to even introduce myself. I'm standing there confused but I called him back and told him bc of his attitude towards me I'm never coming back. He said "good". So, I am left with limited options as to why he treated me like that after only looking at me for a few seconds. Maybe he just didn't like my appearance (hair, skin, face idk!!) This has caught me off guard as I wasn't not prepared to begin my week like this... then it hit me once I realized where I was located... Johnson County Kansas. In the last 10+ years of my life, I have only experienced stuff like this in the united state of "entitlement and privilege"... most typically in JC. I went to the restroom out the lobby of the bank building where the restaurant is set up and one of the employees that witnessed the event entered the restroom as I was exiting and I asked him, "what's wrong with your boy?" He assumed that his boss thought that I was someone else... which confirms my suspicion of him making an assessment based on my appearance. Sadly, I am all too familiar with this as I am aware that I have been dealing with it for over 35 years, though this is a new All-time low for me. This experience felt along side of the stories that I've heard from before the civil rights movement. If he was going to disrespectfully turn me away at the door, he should have had a sign outside of his establishment that reads, "_____s Only Establishment" or "No _____s Allowed". Most of us are literate nowadays lol so I would have just turned around and ordered my catering else where without wasting my time nor exposing his business. read more
