Blackhole bakery is worth the hype and worth showing up early for. They know what they're doing and…read morethey do it well. What appears to be a mom and pop bakery is actually a baker who has carefully done his research and brings himself up to date on the latest trends of flavor in the baking world. The vibes are amazing - I especially love the art piece on the wall he commissioned from a local artist. I saw the Instagram page with several posts explaining how he did each part. Everything was absolutely delicious (I am biased with the ham and gruyere cheese since that is a favorite combo of mine), the danish was delicious (I could tell maybe it uses veryberryosa - a recent trend in baking to be used as filling), and the same was probably on the cinnamon roll looking crossaint. Now the grand prize - the mochi donuts were spectacular. The flavors I got were raspberry almond (my #1 favorite I got twice), cereal (this was carefully curated and not too sweet like most cereal based baked goods), Irish coffee (didn't taste like coffee, gave it to a friend) and the mango black tea was also a slam dunk for me. The staff are incredibly friendly here which is a huge plus!

I was super impressed with the quality and amount of berries in the fruit bowl, and the burrito was packed with the right amount of crisp to it and a delicious salsa on the side. So definitely five star on food and coffee The atmosphere was slightly loud for what I wanted but the place is cute. Just could've done with a lower volume of music. But the staff are super friendly and I would definitely go back.

I went for a late casual lunch at Banksia Bistro. I've been to their original location in the…read moreGarment District (now closed) and their newest location Banksia Cafe in Downtown KC. What I love about this location is you can get something super quick to go (an Aussie Pie or Sausage Roll for example) or something fast casual to eat a quick meal . Their hours are targeted for Breakfast/Lunch/Brunch. It's very Aussie influenced with sections Breakfast, Lunch and Hotbox. I ordered off the lunch menu and got the Cuban Confit Pork sandwich and my partner got the Chicken Banh Mi. We split a bag of chips and walked out for a little less than $40 with tip. The service was friendly and "order at the counter." The worker was quick to give suggestions and a layout of the menu. My Cuban sandwich was awesome and had a little bit of a Chinese Five Spice kinda vibe. Unexpected but pleasant. There are so many other things I want to try when I go back!

Enchanté Bakery truly feels like a magical experience. From the moment you step in, the aroma of…read morefresh pastries and coffee makes it nearly impossible to decide what to order. I went for the pistachio honey latte (I'm a sucker for pistachio!) and snagged the last veggie quiche of the morning around 11am. Both were absolutely delicious and perfect for breakfast. My friend had the rosewater croissant and a strawberry matcha iced latte--both equally unique and delightful. Despite being a bustling Saturday morning, the staff was incredibly kind and efficient. 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. I can't wait to go back and try more seasonal goodies!

A few months ago my sister and I hosted a baby shower for our other sister and after looking around an options we decided to go with McLains. It was a smaller group, and we were doing a brunch theme, and our sister LOVES sweets. That paired with our desire to support local, and our shared love of McLains, this was just the most obvious choice. We ended up ordering a cake and first of all I have to say their cake flavor choices are insane - I think we settled on a chocolate cake with peanut butter filling (YUM), but I don't think you can go wrong here. We also ordered one of their pre-set pastry bundles for pick up and honestly everything was wonderful. I think I placed the order about a week out and it was ready when I came to pick it up. What pushed this experience into five star category for me? Just the friendliness of the staff, the serving tools they send you home with, and how thoughtful everyone was. The food was also really just exactly what we needed and it was so good there were hardly any leftovers, I think the kids cleared us out by lunch! At any rate, if you're on the hunt for a great spot to support for your next brunch event consider McLains - they won't let you down!

The cafe is located in Avondale, tucked into a neighborhood behind NKC Hospital and the Cerner campus off of Armour Rd. I bought a bunch of their cakes for half price since they were closing early due to the weather. Every cake was delicious! My family nibbled on them for a week and they were just as tasty on day five as on day one. I want to return to try more of their Bosnian delicacies, and I will definitely be back for more cake! My favorites were a sugar/honey soaked flat cake that tasted like it may have been made with almond meal, and a meringue-topped cream cake. This was a huge surprise to me because I've always hated meringue! I don't like pavlova or macarons, but I loved this cake. They had another coated in coconut that looked like an Australian lamination that was good. I was able to pick up several different gluten-free cakes for my sister who has celiac, so that was another unexpected surprise. Definitely try the out if you're in the NKC area.
