(Parts from original review 10/30/2019)…read more * Judging by the picture, I'd say he hated it... lol No really, it was delicious!!! This was a pleasant little hidden away cafe/bistro. It used to be nestled inside the Colonial Gardens nursery and market off 7 hwy and Wyatt streets in Blue Springs, MO. The signage was sparse, so it was difficult to find... But most people did! And it was so worth the adventure. On our original visit we ordered the Belgian Waffle with fresh fruit. It was light and fluffy on the inside and golden crispy on the outside. The fruit was perfectly ripe and naturally sweet. We also shared a half order of biscuits and gravy. Obviously made from scratch. A warm fluffy and moist biscuit under a generous serving of rich and creamy sausage forward gravy. I couldn't stop eating it I ordered their ham and cheese florentine frittata, which was filled with yummy ingredients and had a creamy custard layer on the top. It was absolutely mouthwatering! They're generous in their portion sizes there. The ambiance was pleasant and cozy. With lots of windows that afforded the best views of the arboretum. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We continued to frequent this place, even after they relocated onto Main Street at the square. They are able to accommodate more guests than before, and offer more dishes and pastries. They put out a heck of a breakfast! You really must try their hospitality. Always friendly, always kind. The actual address for their current location is now 1101 W Main St, (Suite A) Blue Springs, MO 64015. If interested, they are open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM. (Closed on Sunday and Monday). If you'd care to reach them, simply call (816) 600-0089. You can check on their daily specials, etc...

Chai Café in Overland Park is such a hidden gem! Don't let the little construction on the outside…read morefool you--they are open, and once you step inside, the space is so cute, cozy, and inviting. They even have an event space that would be perfect for private parties, movie nights, or game-day watch parties. The menu is incredible and full of flavor. I tried the Kashmiri Chai and absolutely loved it--it's pink, pretty, and pure comfort in a cup. The food was delicious across the board, but some favorites were the brand-new Mandi (a huge, shareable dish packed with flavor), their tacos with a fun twist (paneer, beef, and chicken--all winners), the Butter Chicken Wrap (a must-try for butter chicken fans), and the refreshing Dahi Puri. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. This place is definitely worth checking out, and I'm already excited to come back and try more from their menu. Highly recommend! Follow NeyanVentures on Instagram and TikTok to see the video review

Disclaimer: My love language is halal food. If that made you laugh, we're off to a great start. Now…read morethat we've cleared that up, let's get to the meat and potatoes -- or in this case, chicken and rice. (Don't worry, we'll circle back to the actual meat and potatoes later.) I ordered a large Mango Lassi. It was delicious -- creamy, sweet, and refreshing -- but calling it "large" might be a slight exaggeration. Still, flavor-wise, no complaints. The real reason I chose this restaurant was the Chicken Rice Platter, and to say it delivered would be an understatement. There's a spot in Houston I used to visit just for this exact dish, and this version absolutely blew it out of the park. A solid 10/10. The chicken tasted like it was rotisserie-style, with a beautifully seasoned crust on the outside and juicy, tender white meat inside. It's served over fragrant yellow rice, topped with a rich white sauce, and paired with a fresh cucumber salad on the side. Hands down, my favorite dish of the night. Next up was the Beef Nihari, served with naan and yellow rice, along with the Karachi Chicken Biryani. The Beef Nihari is a thick, deeply seasoned beef stew with generous chunks of fall-apart tender meat. It's hearty, comforting, and packed with flavor. The warm, fluffy, pillowy naan was perfect for soaking up that rich broth. Paired with yellow rice, it makes for a seriously satisfying meal. (Side note: it is oily -- which is traditional and expected -- just a friendly heads up.) The Karachi Chicken Biryani was beautifully spiced, aromatic, and fluffy. Tender chicken thighs and drumsticks were nestled into the rice alongside hearty chunks of potato -- told you we'd get to the meat and potatoes. It has a noticeable kick, but nothing overwhelming. Just bold, well-balanced spice. To finish, I had a large Lemon Mint Virgin Mojito. Extremely refreshing -- crisp citrus and minty cool -- but again, "European large" might be the more accurate description. I placed this as a carry-out order and made the commute to pick it up. The restaurant is located in Overland Park in an area that seems to have several similar establishments, at least from my perspective. Once inside the double doors, you're welcomed into a fairly modern dining space with seating for couples and larger groups, plus a private dining area. There appeared to be a buffet set up -- possibly for Iftar -- which is a thoughtful and convenient touch. I also appreciated the designated prayer area, which was a wonderful detail to see. The host was friendly, and my food was ready in a timely manner. Overall, I was genuinely impressed. Flavor, atmosphere, hospitality -- all on point. Definitely check it out for yourself.

SAME REVIEW AS ON GOOGLE:…read more Just started working in the building and saw they had a cafe on the first floor. Only reviews for the place were TWO years ago, so I wasn't sure it was still open. It was! The previous review said there wasn't an Korean food, well I guess they say and added it to a special! I ate on Friday, so the special was Korean Bulgogi w/ chip and drink for $11. I think that's a pretty good deal for all they give you. The wait was less than 2 min (the workers there were super quick) and the cafe was very clean and orderly. I would go there again or suggest it to anyone wanting a quick bite in the Tower.

The lady over the phone stated the wait was no more than 15 minutes so we decided to head over. Upon arrival they were pretty packed but we managed to be seated right away for a party of 3. A lady walked over and took our drink order. I asked for coffee with cream and she pointed to the end of the table to a bowl that had creamer in it. She didn't say anything just pointed. I thought that was sort of rude but whatever... After she left another waitress came over and took our food order. She was much kinder which was appreciated. We ordered an omelette, pancakes, bacon, eggs and biscuits with gravy. Food arrived in a timely manner and the waitress checked on us from time to time. Overall it was an average experience. Food was decent, and service was okay.

Plus, the building used to be a bank, so you get to enjoy your coffee next to an old vault! We were seated right away, and our server was super friendly and attentive. They kept our coffee cups full, which was great! I loved their clever idea of using white mugs for regular coffee and black mugs for decaf--that made it so easy to tell them apart. We decided to share a sweet roll ($4.19), and oh my goodness, it was definitely big enough for two! For my main, I had the tenderfoot breakfast, which comes with two eggs and either toast or a biscuit. I chose the marble rye toast, and wow, it was absolutely delicious. The over-easy eggs were cooked just right, too. Such a delightful meal!

The service was friendly, I was greeted when I arrived and thanked when I left, they had a good selection of syrups, I don't believe they were house-made so I appreciate them at least having a wide variety. It was spacious and the bathroom was clean. The latte was good, nothing to write home about, I got one with banana and toasted mocha syrup, the quiche was the better of the items, it was tasty and a modestly sized piece, nice for a small bite. I would definitely visit again if in the area!
