Fast and friendly and delicious ! They're on the more pricey side for a bakery but worth every single penny! They have street parking only, lots of options of baked goods and coffee as well. The cheese danish is one of my absolute favorites!

I stumbled upon blackhole by accident and am so glad I did. Just south of the plaza this bakery is incredible. It had so many options to choose from. Not least was their mochi donut selection. I thought maybe it would be filled something but to my surprise it was not. I think the best way to describe this donut is a combination between a dough and a marshmallow. It was delicious nonetheless. Finally what I originally craved: a cinnamon roll. I will say I prefer denser cinnamon rolls, but this was a lighter dough. Also still delicious and glazed and topped with cream cheese frosting. Highly recommend this place!

I had Blackhole Bakery on my list of places to try for the longest time and finally found myself in the area. There are SO many amazing looking options. Everything looked picture perfect. There are some unique items I hadn't seen before. We picked a few different items, and I have some others in mind for my next visit. Everything was delicious. I saw the spam musubi croissant on Instagram the day before and knew I had to order that. It did not disappoint. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There was a bit of a line but it moved quickly. Definitely make it a priority to make your way to Blackhole Bakery for the best pastries in KC.

I really wanted to give this place a 5 star review, but I couldn't because the birthday cake croissant made me vomit profusely after an hour of being in my stomach... the staff was super nice, the atmosphere was cute and cozy, and there were so many options to choose from as far as bakery items. Not sure what happened for me to Vomit up what I bought.... But not too bad of a place. Might have to give It another go.

Blackhole is so so good. I don't get out there very often. It might be a good thing though because I lose all self control when I step up to the counter. I always get some mochi donuts and also choose from whatever fruit pastry is available. You can't go wrong with a cinnamon roll either. The coffee's solid. They also offer a bottled spring water that I've seen anywhere else in town that I enjoy ordering.

Stopped by Blackhole Bakery to try their mochi donuts and finally see what the hype was about! I had the banana cream pie and watermelon, and my teen tried the orange and peanut butter pretzel. The texture was great, chewy and fun, but the flavors didn't quite pop as much as we expected. Still tasty, just a bit more subtle than we hoped. One thing to note: there's no indoor seating and no tables outside, which made it a little tricky since we were hoping to hang out for a bit. Ended up eating in the car, and these donuts are a little messy (pieces of the glaze flake off), so definitely not the easiest on-the-go treat. That said, the person working the counter was friendly, and I enjoyed the positive energy he gave off. I'll be back...a cinnamon roll is next on my list!

The pastries are insane - you won't find more intricate and elevated flavors in the metro area. And the staff is so funny and kind! They're never frustrated about a customer wanting help with decisions. And when they found out it was my mom's birthday a couple years ago, they threw in a birthday cake pop tart for free! Good people, great food. Totally worth the stop in.

Mochi donuts

What a gem! I'm excited to find such a great bakery with wonderful staff. Loved the gluten free options. We will be back soon!

I don't know what had taken me so long to try this place out. It's definitely out of the way, but the trip was worth it. I also recommend coming in early to get the goodies you want before they sold out for the day. It's spacious, quaint, and homemade. I got their spam musubi, blueberry criossant, peach mochi ball, and brownie. It was all so good. Gotta go back and try their other pastries good too.

The mochi balls is a fav 100/10 My first time trying their croissants and is also amazing

Red velvet croissant

As expected there was a line (around 9.30 am Saturday), Cute little place offering Mochi donuts, a variety of croissants, Bagels & coffee. You can also preorder and pickup the pastries in the morning if you want. I ordered an everyday bagel with Jalapeño spread, Brioche Cinnamon roll loaf, Blueberry parfait & Red velvet croissant. Cinnamon roll loaf and Bagel was a clear winner! Croissant was fresh on the outside but a little hard on the inside. Blueberry parfait was okay. Staff were nice and welcoming! Prices were reasonable too! Would love to try other croissants next time.

I was so impressed by the baked goods at Blackhole Bakery that I regret not coming back for another round before my drive back to Bentonville. There was a staggering variety of fresh bread, donuts, croissants, and other packaged breads and granola in the store, which also serves coffee. I had decision paralysis, so at the kind cashier's recommendation, we ended up getting a biscuits and gravy croissant, a halva-pistachio chocolate chip cookie, and four mochi donuts (we got lemon poppyseed, mango black tea, raspberry hibiscus, and...I forget the last one). Everything was fantastic and blew my expectations out of the water. After having eaten breakfast already, we only had room for the cookie. It was the perfect texture--crispy edges and chewy interior with very rich, pistachio, sesame, and chocolate flavor. We had the mochi donuts for dessert later that night, and they were unlike any mochi donut I've had before. The mochi donuts I am used to are from Mochinut, a dessert chain that serves small, fluffy, pull-apart mochi donuts covered with different flavors of icing that are typically too sweet or artificial tasting. These mochi donuts were between the size of a golf and tennis ball and had a much denser, chewier texture with a crispy, fried exterior. They reminded me of the exterior of glutinous rice dumplings you can get at dim sum, which is one of my favorite things to order. We couldn't decide which flavor we liked the most because they were all equally good. The next morning, we shared the biscuits and gravy croissant. I am someone who holds the opinion that eating a croissant the next day is a cardinal sin, but the croissant held up surprisingly well. I thought that the filling would make it soggy, but it still retained its crispy layers and tasted just like a portable, flaky version of biscuits and gravy. I would come back in a heartbeat.

I follow Blackhole Bakery on instagram and always wish I lived closer, so I was thrilled to pay a visit while in KC. My sister and I both had a sunflower plum galette and we split the peanut butter pretzel and pistachio mochi donut. Each item is well made, fresh and delicious. It's honestly probably safer for my waistline that I don't live closer!

Hands down the best New York-style bagel you can find in Kansas City! Meshuggah Bagels serves up…read moreauthentic, kettle-boiled and baked rings with the ideal crunchy crust and chewy inside. Their generous cream cheese schmears (the garlic & dill and specialty options are incredible) and fresh lox sandwiches make it a must-visit local spot. The gentleman that helped us was amazing and patient. I got one bagel with sesame seeds toasted with garlic and dill cream cheese Amazing !! my only complaint is one single bagel is eight dollars but worth every penny.Parking could be rough since this location is in the middle of downtown. 100 % recommend!!

YE Gurl Says: Kansas City Just Earned Some New York Points at Meshuggah Bagels…read more Listen, I am naturally skeptical of any bagel shop outside of New York making bold claims. On their website, Meshuggah Bagels proudly declares that they've perfected their recipe to the point where "even a New Yorker would swear they were biting into a piece of home." That's a dangerous statement. As someone who has spent enough time in New York to know the difference between a bagel and a round piece of bread with aspirations, I approached with caution. What I needed was simple: a quick breakfast bite that wasn't going to turn into a full sit-down affair. Then I walked in and saw the menu. The first sign of hope? Bialys. Not many places outside New York even bother. Add smoked salmon options, pastrami nova, and a cooler stocked with old-school Dr. Brown's sodas, and suddenly my skepticism started to soften. So naturally, I ordered accordingly. And I have to admit...They got me. The bagel had the right structure. It was fresh and sturdy enough to support a generous schmear and mountain of salmon without collapsing into a soggy mess halfway through. The salmon itself was abundant. Not one of those sad situations where you're hunting through cream cheese trying to locate the seafood. Every bite delivered. And paired with a Dr. Brown's? For a brief moment, I was transported back to Brooklyn. Not fully thought. Let's not get carried away. But enough to appreciate what they were trying to accomplish. The place was absolutely packed, which is usually a good sign. We were fortunate to find a spot to sit down and enjoy everything before heading back out. YE Gurl Insight: Regional food nostalgia is hard to recreate. Most places chase authenticity through marketing. The better ones focus on execution. Meshuggah Bagels seems to understand that difference. Final Take: Fresh bagels with proper texture Excellent smoked salmon portions Bialys on the menu (a major point in their favor) Classic deli-shop feel Worth the downtown stop YE Gurl Says: If you're in Kansas City and craving a bagel experience that comes surprisingly close to scratching that New York itch, make the stop. Will it replace your favorite neighborhood bagel shop in Brooklyn? No. Will it make you forget you're in Kansas City for a few bites? Surprisingly, yes.

Even when they are busy as heck with a line waiting to place orders the counter staff have been friendly and helpful. The bagels are always fresh and the coffee is hot and flavorful. I wholeheartedly recommend this place, despite my experience today. The counter was manned today by a male who didn't seem to be enjoying his work. Maybe just a bad day. I ordered a nova lox and cream cheese bialy, toasted twice, my usual. He asked if I wanted it loaded I said yes and then said no tomato. When I got my sandwich there was no onion or capers as well as no tomato. When I went to the counter to ask for capers and onion I was told they didn't charge me for it so they'd have to charge me (I said that was fine). The bearded man that was helping me said he'd bring them out to the table, I'd have to put them on the sandwich myself. After 5 minutes (no customers being served) I went back to the counter and inquired and the other male gave them to me. When I opened the sandwich to put them in, I saw that the bialy was warmed, not toasted twice as requested. They might both be new employees, but the usual warmth and helpfulness of the counter staff was definitely lacking.

Situated in the base of a beautiful brick building, Messenger Coffee is a wide open, airy, bright and industrial space featuring all the classic coffees, a great assortment of house curated drinks, along with a solid selection of homemade pastries and other foods plus a good variety of novelties, bulk coffees and a few other items. The space is laid out well with the ordering counter and retail on one side and seating on the other, but it doesn't stop there...their open air industrial kitchen where all the goods are house made takes up over half the space, and is surrounded by barstools that give you a front row seat! While I loved the space, the coffee I got is easily one of the best coffees I have had anywhere...like, no joke! I went with the seasonal Iced KC Sweet Smoked Honeybear and it was absolutely delightful! Balanced, sweet, a tad smoky and tasted like the nostalgia of a honey graham cracker! Perfection. Service was great as well. The barista helped me out with selection, shared details of the drinks and made it a good interaction. Once I tasted the coffee, I knew it was a special spot, so I got back in line and grabbed a koozie so I'd remember far beyond the coffee! Overall, top tier coffee shop that I highly recommend!
