Betty Rae's has long been a local favorite for handcrafted, small-batch ice cream, with plenty of…read morenational recognition along the way. So I'm surprised it took me this long to write a review. We stopped by the River Market location last night, and one of the quickest ways to judge a place is simply to look around. There was a line of people waiting to get in and others lingering outside, happily working their way through whatever they had just ordered. That's usually a pretty good sign. A few years ago, Betty Rae's closed its shops, and there was real concern that the brand might disappear for good. Then Matt Shatto of Shatto Milk Company rode in on the proverbial white horse, revived the brand and began expanding it again. I clearly need a few more visits to work my way through the flavor options. When you first walk in, you'll see wooden blocks displaying flavors. Those are just some of the classics that are always available. The big menu behind the freezer cases is where the real decision-making begins. And if you can't decide, the staff is more than happy to let you sample your way through the case. As someone who considers chocolate chip cookies and cookie dough their own food groups, I went with the Cookie Dough. What stood out most was the texture. It was incredibly rich, dense and creamy, almost closer to frozen custard than traditional ice cream. My niece, who is a far more experienced Betty Rae's customer, swears by the Lavender and Caramel combination. I'm not sure I would have ever put those two together, which is probably another reason I need to go back. And Betty Rae's is about more than what's in the cup. The River Market shop has a comfortable, funky personality that fits the neighborhood perfectly. The servers were exceptionally friendly, and even the music is part of the experience. You can find their playlist on Spotify. Great ice cream. Fun place. Terrific people. And apparently, I have a lot more flavors to try.

Very creamy ice cream with a variety of delicious flavors. We tried the Coffee (I forgot what the…read moreexact name was, but it used the beans from the cafe next door), Guava Sorbet, London Fog, and Pecan. Prices were pretty solid too; it was around $7 for two very large scoops/flavors. (You also get to try the flavors) Overall a great ice cream spot to drop in after a meal or to cool off. One note: the photobooth in the back is advertised as B&W but it's actually color lol

The biscuit sandwich was flavorful and filling, and the cinnamon roll was definitely a favorite--soft, sweet, and a great treat to go with my meal. I also tried a few other things and was impressed overall with the quality and freshness. The atmosphere was welcoming and it's a nice spot to grab breakfast or a quick bite. I'm glad I finally checked it out, and I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu!

Oh - and Biscoff cheesecake is also in that top five...maybe I should open it up to top 10.... Staff is welcoming, patient and helpful. It's a small cozy space that's starting to expand - their kitchen and my waistline! You should give it a try.

Honestly the flavors were pretty good, but IMO there is better ice cream in KC. I do want to try them again though, it was a rainy/chilly day and I had to wait in line for about an hour so all of that likely impacted my whole experience. Something I really love about this concept though is that for your price you get two free toppings and a sauce, which I think makes them stand out and was a huge hit with my kid!

I finally made it out to the Cinder Block taproom after drinking their beer around Kansas City for…read moreyears, and honestly there's something cool about finally sitting where it all actually gets made. The space feels relaxed and approachable without trying too hard. Big open taproom, easy atmosphere, good energy. The kind of brewery where you can settle in for one beer and accidentally stay for five. Mary behind the bar was awesome right away. Friendly greeting the second I walked in, super knowledgeable about every beer on tap, and genuinely helpful without making anything feel scripted or sales-y. Hospitality matters to me a lot, and she made the experience feel welcoming immediately. I worked my way through quite a few beers: Hop Cuddle, the collaboration with Tall Trellis, their Mexican-style lager, Weathered Wit, Pavers Porter, and the rice lager. Every single one was excellent, but that rice lager was probably my favorite. Crisp, clean, refreshing, incredible mouthfeel -- one of those beers that disappears way faster than you planned. Weathered Wit deserves a shout too. Light tartness, citrus notes, classic Belgian yeast character, ridiculously refreshing. Everything you want from a witbier on a warm day and they absolutely nailed it. (beeradvocate.com) Also, I'm genuinely excited to see breweries collaborating again. Beer feels more fun when breweries are creating together instead of existing in separate lanes, and it's cool seeing that energy still alive in Kansas City craft beer.

So, did they survive the pandemic? You bet they did and they have since expanded with the opening of The Commons - an adjacent space with free games and a larger alcohol selection and a space they rent to Bay Boy Sandwiches- the best sammy shop in KC (both have separate Yelp reviews). Cinder Block is my very favorite in KC because they are the closest to my home (cheaper Ubers), a solid variety of beers, a great staff, a huge block-long complex with dozens of seating options indoors and out and a great clientele - I always seem to have some of the best conversations at the bar when I'm here. Last week I was here to watch a couple of World Cup matches and made three new friends. If I'm wanting to go out and unsure where - I'll always head to Cinder Block / The Commons! Love ya' Cinder Block.
