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

1/2 monte cristo and side salad

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.

House latte
Amy F.

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!

(Review from 8/8/2019: Transferred from closed secondary account.)…read more *This place is a lovely, unique restaurant and bar. I believe they are privately owned and operated. They offer daily specials, weekly trivia contests, and a live music. Entertainers generally play live music several nights a week. Sinclairs host mostly acoustic performers, mainly on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays: 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Most of the entertainers feature guitar playing solo artists in the bar area. As for the food... it's all pretty tasty. Served in an upscale fashion. And worth mentioning is THE ABSOLUTE BEST MEATLOAF I have ever eaten outside of my own kitchen; and yes, possibly even better than my own... which speaks volumes because I'm generally an excellent cook and extremely particular diner. (Not bragging - just emphasizing that my standards are high). This meatloaf is hearty, rich, and moist, with a firm meaty texture (Not over done with fillers). It's cut generously and served over freshly mashed potatoes topped with a complex & flavorful sauce I'd liken to a rich brown gravy with a hint of herbs & possibly a tad bit of steak sauce for good measure... Its the star. I just wished they served this on their daily menu! Speaking of... their entire menu is thoughtfully made, and the chef deserves major kudos for their talents in the kitchen. I will go with friends in tow to enjoy a night off in the kitchen, to enjoy some of the best meals our city has to offer. Looking for something do? Sports Watch Parties are a good time: Sinclair's serve as the neighborhood hub when it comes to watching our very own Kansas City Chiefs play. They will also host other major local or national sporting events. If sports aren't your thing, try your hand at trivia night on Mondays. You'll be glad you didn't stay home!

Friendly and welcoming - - nice to experience on a brisk, autumn Saturday. HOWEVER!! Be forewarned.... COME HUNGRY!!! The portions are very generous! And really, REALLY good! Our meals required TWO servers! My friend ordered the fried chicken dinner. It was BEAUTIFUL! GOLDEN brown. Her sides were broccoli and Mac and cheese. As a big fan of chicken livers (if you know, you know). At first I was a little concerned they were over cooked. But nope! They were JUST RIGHT Goldilocks! I had mashed potatoes with white gravy - - OUTSTANDING. Green beans with smoked ham. Nicely prepared. It's JUST LIKE grandma used to make. We shall return again soon. Oh - - the prices? Incredible. $13.99 for my dinner which I EASILY brought home 2/3 to 3/4 of the livers. My companions fried chicken $14.49 plus she was able to choose which pieces she preferred!

It wasn't awful but probably should have ordered off the menu as I'm not a buffet person. Very clean establishment. We saw all kinds of bulk food as you walk in the doors. Apparently they accept non perishable do to help out the locals if they need a hand up. They also help with the school summer lunch program. If that isn't enough of a reason to go visit...well I'm sorry you're dead inside.

We were seated right away as a party of 8, which was great for a larger group. Unfortunately, the experience this time was really slow when it came to food service. Our food took about 45 minutes to arrive, and we noticed smaller tables that were seated after us received their meals, ate, and left before we even got ours. Our server also walked past our table several times without giving any updates, which was frustrating while waiting. We typically go to the Liberty location because we've had better experiences there. This visit just wasn't the best, but we do like the overall vibe of the restaurant and hope service improves at this location.

It seemed to be placed under a heat lamp until the meat was dried out, than slathed with brown gravy just before serving. I received one carrot, a piece of potato and mashed potatoes drowned in brown gravy. Edible,but not worth what we were charged. For me, the highlight was going to be Apple Cobbler a la Mode. The presentation was spectacular,but the menu clearly stated that this was baked in their kitchen. I took one spoonful and it was still partially frozen. I sent it back, and was told it would be put back in the oven, but it was back in two minutes, and the plate was piping hot. I asked if went back into the oven, and was told it was put into a microwave oven. It was at best luke warm, so I ate the ice cream and left the entire cobbler, less two small spoonfuls, on the table. I was offered a to go box, which I refused. I was there with my sons, who didn't want me to make a scene. Had I been there by myself, I would have had a long, difficult conversation with the manager. I may go back for breakfast (which is served all day), but not for lunch or dinner. I would have gotten the same level of food if I bought a Healthy Choice frozen dinner.
