    Jarlsberg Quiche
    Marie M.

    We had breakfast here last week and enjoyed the space, coffee and again the breakfast. We usually have an omelet but we both decided to have the Ham and Jarlsburg Quiche, which I highly recommend. It was moist, but not like the eggs were runny. It was perfect, and the cheese added the best flavor. We chose the fruit on the side, which is the red grapes sprinkled with brown sugar, an interesting touch.

    Turkey club panini, tuna melt panini, lattes

    Excellent, fresh food! Great service. It was a Saturday and they were pretty busy- worth the wait. Highly recommend

    Great decor, great staff, delicious food!! My kids loved the waffles and bacon. I had the monte cristo and a delicious salad.

    Turkey apple Panini, cauliflower "pasta" salad, side salad with ranch. Pistachio latte with almond milk.

    This small-town feel cafe in downtown Blue Springs has so much to offer. With an extensive menu and welcoming environment, I have a great experience every time I come in. This was my fourth or fifth time in. The service is always stellar and the food always tastes really fresh. This go round I had the turkey apple Panini with a side salad and a pistachio latte with almond milk. They also give you a small side of their cauliflower salad (think pasta salad), but you can't even tell it's cauliflower it tastes so good. I got an almond croissant to go, which was equally delicious. They are very wonderful at creating substitutes that work for your diet whether it's gluten-free, dairy free, etc. The food is delicious and I highly recommend.

    Let me start off with, I really wanted to give Bean Counter Cafe 5/5 stars, but, in my heart of hearts, I knew that wasn't a fair assessment of my first encounter with The Bean. In the middle of old downtown Blue Springs located on a corner of Main Street next to a Pizza Shop, Bean Counter Cafe is a beacon shining in a semi-desolate small downtown. It is obviously local, a small mom and pop business, with not much street appeal. However, once you're inside the surprisingly spacious coffee shop and cafe, you'll find yourself wanting to stay awhile. It's not incredibly "homey," but it's bright and airy and has some random elements of decor. You can tell decoration isn't where the owners put all their thought into, that's the food and drinks, and they are simple but delicious. Think sandwiches of all kinds, breakfasts, and salads, as well as a variety of coffee beverages. I feel like this is one of the cafes where everything on the menu is tasty. I had to go with my third choice, a warm turkey sandwich with granny smith apples, fresh basil pesto, and melted sharp cheese. But, I wasn't in the slightest upset with my "lunchbox" style sandwich. All in all, the experience at Bean Counter Cafe was a fun off the beaten path adventure, but there were little hiccups along the way. They were out of a few menu items, and our order originally did get switched around, we received one of the sandwiches we ordered twice instead of getting the two separate ones we ordered. I'm pretty sure our order got mixed up with the table next to us, but it was easily fixed. If I ever find myself close to this charming cafe, I will stop in again because, overall, it was a very enjoyable experience, and I LOVE to support local.

    Remember the old Bean Counter cafe inside of Colonial Gardens? They have FINALLY reopened at a new location on Main St in Downtown Blue Springs! Woot woot! As expected, the food is fresh and homemade. Both breakfast and lunch are served along with an arrange of coffee of speciality drinks. They don't yet have a drink menu printed - but that's coming soon. I opted for a bear claw and house latte (similar to a cinnamon dolce). The latte was delicious and the bear claw - oh my! Butter, flaky and filled with a cinnamon streusel mixture, it was to do for! The hardest part was making up my mind what to have! Cannot wait to go back and try all the other delicacies!

    Great monte cristco I will give it 20 stars for great sandwich

The host, and the Yelp app quoted us 10-20 minutes, but we got there after 20 and ended up waiting about 15 more. This was unfortunate since there isn't a big waiting area and we were very much in the way, but the staff was nice and worked to get tables pushed together for us. After being sat it took about 10-15 minutes to get our order in, and about 15-20 for the food to come. Not bad at all with how busy this place is! All of our food came out hot and delicious at the same time! I had the cowboy Benedict with chicken fried steak, and gravy on the side. The steak was alright, pretty thin, and nothing surprisingly tasty about it. The eggs were delicious and my favorite part! The hashbrowns were fine, and the biscuit was also great--crispy edges which were perfect! I got a sticky biscuit with extra icing and really appreciated the amount of icing I got!! This was my favorite part of the meal, again the crispy edges made this such a great texture as well as the taste. Our server Amber did a great job taking care of our large party! She was nice, and checked on us several times. All the staff we came into contact with were very nice and friendly. The bathrooms were small and a little jenky, but otherwise the vibe of this spot was good. Nothing fancy at all, but what you'd expect for a quick turnaround family brunch spot. This would be my first choice for a boujee made-from-scratch meal, but for a large party this is relatively easy to get into--which has been my experience at 2 different locations near KC so far. I'm sure I'll be back with my group again next time we are in the area!

I loved the grilled onions, mushrooms and Swiss cheese option. VERY GOOD! I had delicious sweet potato fries. Awesome! Creamy inside and crispy crunch on the outside. Best sweet potato fries I've had yet in the KCMO area. My husband enjoyed Bob's Big Burger Deluxe with Blue Cheese. He shared a bite with me. The burger was JUICY and grilled to perfection.

While our sweet server was running her tail off, attempting to meet all of our and others needs, three servers were chit chatting in plain sight.
