    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 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 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.

    Excellent food excellent service!! The guy who helped me and my boyfriend was so nice!! We didn't catch his name but he made a joke that he was employee number 5 lol!! He's amazing!! 10/10 recommend!!

    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

    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 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!

    We stopped in at Blackhole Bakery on a late Sunday morning. There was a line to the door but it went very quickly. There were so many things that we wanted to try that we struggled to narrow it down but we ended up ordering two mochi donut holes, a Local Pig beer brat sausage roll, a spam musubi croissant, a fresh fruit puff and a blueberry croissant and a bagel. Everything was amazing and fresh. I was surprised that the spam musibi croissant was my favorite out of all of the pastries that we tried. My second favorite was the sausage roll. I am already planning to return because there are so many other things that I would like to try!

I went a relatively safe route and got lavender honey, which was absolutely delicious & had the perfect amount of lavender flavor. Had to get it in a waffle cone which was so soft (in a good way) that it was more of a pancake cone. Ambiance is cute, service was fast. Can't comment on parking, but it's readily accessible with Metro. 10/10 would recommend!

    Hey, you know what you need after having spent most of the afternoon trying all the KC BBQ places…read moreand wondering what to do next, ice cream was suggested. Why not? Especially since Betty Rae's is a local landmark. Since it was a holiday weekend the lines were long, especially with the way the coolers were oriented. The flavors were laid out on a little tree near the drinks cooler, what should I get? Something a little lighter like their sorbet? I texted a former KC local friend of mine and he said go the ice cream route. I eventually settled on the Goat cheese, apricot and candied walnut with the Chantilly cake in one of their homemade waffle cones. I was expecting the Goat cheese flavor would be the standout but the Chantilly cake with the berries was slightly better; the goat cheese was a little too rich. The ice cream was a little softer than I expected and with the soft waffle made it a bit messier than it should have been.

This spot has a cult following and I'm embarrassed to say how long it took me to get over here to pick up a cone and see what it's all about. I am glad though, that I made the trek and I'm happy to say I've been back a few times since! First thing you'll notice about this spot is that it's a walk up counter, and there is something charming about that. There are a few tables outside on the sidewalk if you want to stay and enjoy your ice cream on the spot. The next thing you'll notice are all of the interesting flavors, my favorite so far has been the banana haze, but I have a feeling they all are good. On hot summer nights there will be a line here, but it's worth the wait and honestly what ice cream spot doesn't have a line in the summer? The folks working are always super nice and willing to answer any questions you have. You'll walk away with a really great sized scoop for the price and one of the best ice creams in KC.

I decided to check out their ice creams this time and started with chocolate flavor. Chocolate ice cream was soooo creamy in texture and very rich in flavor. I loved every bit of it. :-) They also offer a wide variety of unique flavors including cinnamon honey, black sesame, and blueberry lemon cheesecake. I am more excited to try their "bourbon butter pecan" in my next visit to High hopes. High hopes don't look like your usual ice cream shop, they have a couple of tables outside and it doesn't help when it's cold and windy. Be prepared for it. Staffs are usually very good.

There's both indoor and outdoor seating, making it a cozy spot no matter the weather. For parking, I'd recommend Westport Road or 40th Street (west of Main) and taking a short walk. Preordering whole quiches, tarts, cookies, cupcakes may require 48 hours' notice. Enchanté is more than just a bakery--it's a little slice of magic in Kansas City.
