Filthy Martini, a spring specialty cocktail
Amanda G.

Walking into Hemma Hemma, you feel welcomed in it's cozy, inviting space. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and it is apparent that consideration for the home-y vibe went into every aspect of the design of the space. The restaurant is not massive so I would recommend a reservation if you can, or you may end up needing to wait for a table (they only do dinner reservations). One thing I would want to mention is the tables are a bit close together making it a little awkward when you're getting up. We had to move our table to let the folks sitting next to us in and then again when we were leaving. I couldn't wait to try the Filthy Martini, a spring specialty cocktail, which contains both pickle AND olive juice + pickle stuffed olives and a salt and pepper rim. It was just exactly what I wanted and would come back solely for the cocktail. For dinner, I had the Yoshoku Beef Curry and it was delicious. The meat was so savory and the runny egg was a perfect add. Strongly recommend if you like Japanese curry. We cannot wait to come back to try brunch and we are also looking forward to their Dinette location downtown opening on the weekends to give that spot a try as well.

this spot is a unique combination of a café and a healthy eatery, offering two distinct atmospheres. the café side has an antique-inspired aesthetic, while the restaurant side feels quaint, cozy, and welcoming. one of the highlights is that all the café's flavors are made in-house, with seasonal and sweet matcha options ranging from apple pie to cinnamon roll. john was welcoming and helpful, offering recommendations on the house favorites and even suggesting flavors they could make if nothing on the menu caught my eye. i tried the apple cinnamon matcha, and it was flavorful, creamy, and had a nice kick. while I enjoyed the taste, I felt there was a bit too much milk, which overpowered the matcha itself.

Hot Honey Salmon Bowl

Wow!! Wow!! Amazing food. Staff were super friendly. Family friendly. This is a must. Go try this place. The plate presentation unbelievable. You would think you're at a Michelin 5 Star restaurant. The pricing was adequate. All the flavors on the plate blended well together. Now all I have left to say is go and give them a try. You will be amazed!'

We had a fun time at a happy hour. The cocktail was great - not too sweet. The burrata was delicious with a little kick. My friend got a piece of cheesecake and a coffee. She enjoyed both. It definitely seems like it's more appointed for breakfast/brunch but I'm glad I got to try it without a long wait on the weekend.

I really wanted to love this lunch because Hema Hema is a cute spot and the food photographs beautifully, but I left a little underwhelmed. I ordered the Herby Chicken Salad on honey wheat toast instead of the wrap with fries. The fries were delicious and the sandwich was fine, but the chicken salad needed something to balance all of the savory/herby flavors. A little sweetness from grapes, cranberries, apples or even candied pecans would have elevated it for me. At $19 for a sandwich and fries, I expected to love it a little more, although I do appreciate that they focus on fresh, farm-to-table ingredients. I specifically came in wanting a chicken salad sandwich and soup because it was a rainy 63-degree fall day, but unfortunately they didn't have any soup. I was told they're still on their summer menu, which was disappointing considering we're officially past the autumn equinox and this was absolutely soup weather lol. The Cinnamon Roll Martini, however, was delicious. It reminded me of an espresso martini with a creamy, cinnamon/nutmeg situation going on, and I would absolutely order that again. It was $14, so between the cocktail, my meal and tip, I spent almost $40 on lunch. My other issue was the internet. This seems to be a dead zone for cell service, and I couldn't get usable service on either Verizon or T-Mobile. I brought my laptop specifically because I planned to have lunch and get some work done, but their Wi-Fi wasn't working either. When I asked for help because the password kept showing as incorrect, I was basically told they'd been having internet issues and the person walked away. It wasn't until another customer came over and told me they were having the same problem that I realized it wasn't something I was doing wrong. That would've been a really easy customer service touchpoint, especially seeing me sitting there with two phones and a laptop trying to figure it out. Overall, there were things I liked, especially the fries and that Cinnamon Roll Martini, but between no soup, an okay sandwich, no cell service, no working Wi-Fi and spending almost $40, I kinda wished I had just stayed home.

Cue Lizzo "about damn time." It took me long enough to make my way over to Hemma Hemma though it's been on my list literally since they opened their doors. When Donna Kelce listed it as amongst her favorite spots in KC I just knew it was going to be a slam dunk and yet it STILL took me this long to make my way over. All that being said, I have a standing lunch date with a friend on my calendar and after looking at her text that simply said "Hemma Hemma?" I was so excited to give it a try. I was just coming from a meeting near the Plaza so it was a quick jaunt for me, and I was honestly surprised to find that Hemma Hemma is located in Waldo, right on Wornall. Turns out I've driven past it countless times and never even realized it. For a weekday lunch at noon I was a bit worried about parking but I was able to get a really close spot right on Wornall so don't let that deter you one bit. When you walk in it's honestly kind of perfect brunch/lunch vibes. It's sort of like a marriage of a cozy cafe and a chic home kitchen. You feel welcome and relaxed. It's an order at the counter kind of place and I had their pickle fried chicken salad (forgive me for not remembering the official name!). It was divine. I will say it was very crowded when I was in there but there were plenty of seats, mostly because they've used the space well and there is ample room for single diners to sit at a large communal table in the back, which really frees up tables for folks that are there to chat with someone. Aside from all of that the food is great, the folks working are so nice, and I can't wait to return.

Brookside Buddha Bowl

I just want to say what a GREAT experience I've had dining at Hemma Hemma! I've been there twice so far, and have been consistently impressed. This past week, I joined a friend for lunch, and we both want to formally thank Dana at the front counter for being so welcoming, gracious and helpful. I accidentally knocked over the menu holder, and she reassured me that it was fine and happens frequently. My friend and I split the bill for our order, and she cheerfully rang up each of our portions separately. She guided us through some of the menu options which was much appreciated as there were some new items since my last visit. The food here is FANTASTIC!! I can't remember what I ordered on my first visit (but I do remember that it was delicious!); this week, I had the Brookside Buiddha Bowl, which was AMAZING! Even the presentation was wonderful (see attached photo)! All the ingredients were delicious, and the flavors melded beautifully, and it was so satisfying; it kept me fueled and focused during a long afternoon at work. My friend had the Pickle Chicken Bacon Ranch salad and said it was mouth-wateringly fabulous. The weather was nice enough to sit in the outside patio, which is well-appointed (even a free water station); the first time I was here, I ate indoors and the dining area is light, airy, and expansive, with plenty of room between tables and quiet enough to chat. Having such a healthy, delicious restaurant in the neighborhood is marvelous, and I'm already planning my next trip back to Hemma Hemma! Thank you all SO much!

Classic Burrito and a Biscuit
Alix A.

After wanting to go for ages, I finally was able to get to Hemma Hemma. Went there on a Saturday morning around 9 AM with a friend. There were still plenty of seating which was a relief for me. I was seated right away. I wasn't very impressed with our waitress, I'll be honest because it took her a long time to come and take our drink orders. Anyway, I started with a chai latte. She made it very confusing to order because apparently their chai is green tea so there's no caffeine so in order to do that you have to order a dirty chai with the espresso and that you know obviously made the flavor less chai forward. And they only have whole milk, oat milk, and soy milk - no skim, which was disappointing for my meal companion's coffee. I'm a biscuits and gravy freak, but I decided I would branch out and I tried their breakfast burrito but I did get a biscuit on the side, so I knew for next time. The burrito was so delicious! And big. I took half of it home. The biscuit was fantastic and I look forward to trying the biscuits and gravy. My friend got their ricotta toast and it was beautiful to look at. As far as the ambience, it is an adorable space with a lot of character. It was a bit loud because they put the tables pretty close together, but for Saturday morning, it was a great vibe. I absolutely would go back because the food was great but the waitress just wasn't quite where we needed her to be because she was confusing and slow. But other than that, I want to try their dinette! But this is one of the best brunches I've had in ages.

Masa pancakes. Waldo bowl. Breakfast burrito.
Phil B.

Finally got to try this place as it has been highly talked about and the reviews aligned well with my own experience. Since it was a Saturday, we did their brunch. Started off with the Masa pancakes, which with the cinnamon butter was a hit. Then the entrees included their breakfast burrito and their Waldo bowl. Eggs were cooked perfectly and the sauces are incredible. The only downside was that we ordered the pancakes to come out as a starter, but it all came out together, so some of the food got cold since we didn't want to mix in sweet pancakes with savory eggs.

What a gem! I've always loved Hemma Hemma for their breakfast, brunch, and lunch -- and now their new dinner menu makes me love this spot even more! The atmosphere is cozy, modern, and perfect for a relaxed night out. We started with a few beverages and shareables -- the Burrata + Tomatoes and Trio of House Dips were absolutely delicious (the beet hummus is a must-try!). For our mains, we had the Aji Verde Chicken Thighs, Herby Chicken Salad Wrap, and Yoshoku Beef Curry -- everything was so fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff was friendly, the service was great, and every dish tasted so thoughtfully made. Definitely one of my favorite KC spots -- perfect for any meal of the day!

Salmon Wrap
Grace P.

Delicious! So glad to have finally tried this new restaurant in Waldo area. The chicken sandwich is one of the best in the city for sure. The salmon wrap was also good, the sauce made the wrap way better! Inside was quite quirky with bright colors and cute decor. Food was brought to our table quickly. Staff were great as well, instructing us to order then sit down to wait for food.

Salmon Wrap

Such a cute vibe and really good food! We had good service and enjoyed sitting on the patio.

Wow, Hemma Hemma! I don't know why it's taken me so long to try Hemma Hemma, but I'm so obsessed! First off, it's the cutest little cafe/ restaurant! It feels so cozy inside and is decorated so cute! Love the little sitting area for waiting or grabbing a coffee! The food is also amazing! I heard good things about their cinnamon rolls so had to try it and it was so soft and pillowy and served warm! And their breakfast burrito hit the spot! The aioli that came with it was a game changer- yum! I'm already looking forward to the next time!

The restaurant was…read morepretty busy when we arrived, so we chose to sit at the bar rather than wait for a table near the entrance. We started with the Mini Cheddar Biscuits to share, which come with four biscuits. They were excellent--fluffy on the inside with a slightly crispy exterior. The cheddar flavor hit first, followed by a touch of sweetness from the honey, and the combination worked really well. For my meal, I ordered the Fried Chicken, substituted the mashed potatoes for mac and cheese, and added a side of collard greens. The fried chicken was absolutely amazing, perfectly seasoned and fried. The mac and cheese was rich, creamy, and cheesy with a nice crunch from the breadcrumb topping. The collard greens were some of the best I've ever had. They had a great smoky flavor and were well-seasoned without being overly salty. The only downside to the experience was the service toward the end of our meal. We sat for around 15 minutes waiting for the bartender to come by so we could get drink refills and the check. We eventually had to wave them down, even though they were working right in front of us. Overall, the food was outstanding and easily made up for the minor service issue.

I got the Bumblebee cocktail which was spectacular, the spinach dip (which I thought was a little watery) that came with nice crunchy chips, and the goat cheese appetizer, which can be altered to be gluten free - they brought some lovely sliced vegetables to go with the cheese, which I appreciated, but also a plate of bread, which I was surprised to see and even more surprised to see an upcharge on my bill for it. I asked the waiter why they would both bring and charge me for something I couldn't eat and he said "I assumed you would want it for the rest of the table." Maybe you should check with the guest before you make assumptions. The menu says they charge a 20% tip on parties larger than 6, which we were; I did think that the service was not attentive enough to warrant that amount. I think if a restaurant is going to charge an automatic tip, they should ensure really excellent service. I don't know that I would rush back to this restaurant, with so many similar options in the city.

Gary Westmoreland, so I know a thing or two about Suburban neighborhood bars parading as Irish public houses. First things first, apologies for my long absence. After the untimely demise of my frequent dining partner Maurice (who definitely slipped and fell on his own), I just needed a break from my Yelping. #RIP #accidentshappen But, enough about me and my shenanigans. Let's talk about Conroy's. This place is sort of like a zoo without cages for the animals. After I walked in from the bright parking lot, I found myself in a dark bar full of people mostly old enough to make me feel young again. A gal with Viking hair shouted "sit wherever ya like!" from behind the bar (I think that was Conroy's version of a host). I chose a tiny little table for 2 (sigh, I was solo) amidst the crowd. I was greeted some moments later with a menu twice the size of my table. I donned my cheaters and began chapter one of the largest menu I've ever seen. The menu was resplendant with classic Irish dishes like nachos, pizza and burgers. I felt like I smelled a hint of Irish Spring soap and was whisked away to the Emerald Isle!! I kid, of course. There's plenty of fare from the land of the Leprechauns and faeries. I chose cottage pie because it seemed authentic and comforting. Even though it's been years since Maurice's tragic ACCIDENT, I still find myself needing comfort food when I'm dining solo. It was delish. I wanted to lick the rarebit it was served in clean, but the nosy man seated nearby at a large round table (by himself, mind you) kept staring at me from above what appeared to be a pint glass full of communion wine. He had a disconcertingly large head and facial features. I wasn't sure if he needed a friend or a fresh corpse for his crawlspace. Anyway, I maintained my manners and didn't clean the plate like a Beverly Hills chihuahua. I didn't try any booze on this visit because my Uber account is locked due to a disagreement with a swarthy gentleman who mistook my friendliness for an advance and yada yada. Anyhoo, I don't dare risk a dewey when I'm driving mother's Chrysler. Anyways, this place was great and the imposing, cologne-sodden Tongan boy who served me was a real sweetie pie.
