    Very Veggie Omelet
    Thay L.

    Comfort food and good vibes all the way. There's something about this place that just feels like home. It's super cozy -- almost like you're actually having breakfast at Kate's house herself. The staff are always welcoming and make you feel like a regular, even if it's your first visit. Food's always great, especially the omelets -- huge portions and delicious every time. Perfect spot for a slow, relaxed breakfast or brunch.

    Kids menu

    Biscuits and gravy was okay. We will not get it again but others seem to like it. The veggie omelet was good. In the menu it says toast and potatoes were included for omelettes but the veggie one says it includes fruits. I didn't realize it replaced the potatoes. I would probably get it again. We did not get a kids menu and I saw another kid with it after we ordered. We would have ordered from the kids menu, especially since the orange juice was $4 and the kids meal included a drink. Instead we ordered egg, bacon, and cheese croissant sandwich. Bacon is cut up and mixed with the egg for the croissant sandwich. A very generous portion and probably enough for two people. We will probably order again.

    Hubby and i went here for the first time yesterday to dine in. We got carryout several years ago and weren't impressed. Well, we were happy yesterday. The food was delicious, service was great, thanks Molly. It was nice and clean inside too. It was nice to see how helpful and friendly they were to their regulars and how helpful they were to each other. I had the tenderloin and fries, and a pancake. I almost always try the pancakes and either wings or tenderloin when ai try a new place. Hubby had biscuits and gravy, eggs, bacon and potatoes. It was all delicious. Leftovers were just as good. We will be back!

    What a long 1 hour and 15 minute drive to get here from Lenexa KS. But if the crowd is an indication of this restaurant serving great food, the long drive and 20 minute wait are worth it. First off, they are generous with their condiments: I ordered tea and they gave me a hot water carafe and a plate of 7 different tea bags and honey. Water is served in a pitcher. Jelly packs piled high on your table. Staff is very friendly. Leah was very patient with me trying to figure out whether I want salad, omelet, sandwich or ??? I first ordered the healthy start which is egg white omelet but she suggested the salmon sandwich which she claims is very fresh grilled salmon. You get 2 sides with the sandwich so I picked Cole slaw and fresh fruit. The salmon sandwich was really delicious: salmon was fresh, wonderfully seasoned and cooked to perfection. The sandwich was a brioche bun, laced with a great tasting spread/dressing, topped with mixed greens. The fresh fruit was good, just wish there was more of it, maybe in the same bigger sized dish as the cold slaw...?? Cole slaw was also fresh and the dressing was perfect. An expected experience came when I was told my bill was paid for by a local frequent patron. Thank you so much for your generosity. It really tells me of the heart of this city, with good gracious values. I will make sure to pass it forward!

    Chloe provided amazing service when I went in on a weekend morning-- I would give 10 stars if I could. I will preface to say that I've been to Kate's twice. The first time left a lot to be desired. I felt like I could have gotten the same quality of food at ihop. But this time, I ordered an omelet with a side of curly fries instead of breakfast potatoes, and it was tasty. The fries could have been more crisp, but I imagine the kitchen was trying to rush orders as fast as possible. I also ordered the biscuits and gravy. The gravy had large chunks of sausage in it that I wished had been broken up more. The biscuits were kind of dry. I prefer a softer texture inside my biscuits, similar to what you'd find in a homemade drop-biscuit. Overall though, I could see myself going back for breakfast. There's usually a long line, so prepare to wait if you go!

    Red Hot Mamacado
    Taylor V.

    Kate's kitchen is the perfect place for a no frills early morning breakfast. This place reminds you of the local cafe in any small town. I love the bright yellow coffee mugs! I ordered the Red Hot Mamacado scrambler. For $11 it was a very large portion. It came with Chorizo, onion, green chilies, avocado and a combination of Jack & Cheddar cheese. Topped with sour cream and served with salsa, potatoes and choice of toast on the side. I enjoyed every bit of this meal besides the chorizo ( and I love chorizo)! Service was fast and extremely enthusiastic for 8am. Can't wait to come back and try something without the chorizo.

    Country Scramble

    Kate's Kitchen has been a long standing breakfast diner in the Northland, yet this week was only my second visit ever. Kate's is a solid choice as can be seen by the crowds and the generally favorable reviews. I have nothing to complain about, the large space is clean, menu options are diverse and they seem to deliver standard breakfast options at reasonable prices. My Country Scrambler was adequate is size and flavor, coffee thermos and water pitcher at each table keep the glasses filled and give the waitresses more time to devote to the important things. The place seems to be full of older regulars, blue collar workers, families, business meetings...a real mix of real people - a true slice of America - all wanting a hearty meal and some caffeine to start the day. Kate's does not give me the "wow' factor to make a return trip quickly, but will always be a solid option for a Northland breakfast.

    Waffle platter and 1/2 order biscuits and gravy!
    Brenda H.

    Found this gem on yelp while looking for someplace new for breakfast. This was the best find yet! Great food, great customer service from everyone we encountered. They were really busy for a Tuesday morning which was surprising but it didn't stop them from being all around great! I had the waffle platter and my husband had biscuits and gravy and both were amazing! We will definitely be returning to try more of their wonderful food!

    This was my first time here since my two years of living here and I must say it was a great experience! The nice gentleman who sat us was super quick to get us water and also offered coffee immediately! Our server was over soon after! It is such a cute little mom and pop type breakfast place! I started eating the food so quickly I forgot to take a photo! Will be going again for sure!

These biscuits are stacked so high and loaded so heavy, you'll need a game plan, a fork, and maybe a pep talk from your server (who, by the way, is probably the nicest person you've ever met before 10 a.m.). Let's start with the Bloody Marys--absolute perfection. Spicy, savory, and went down easy! Pair that with the fact that my biscuit sandwich came out looking like a Jenga tower of delicious chaos, and I knew I was in for something special. The first bite? Fireworks. The last bite? A fork fight at the table over the remaining crumbs. One of my sandwiches came dripping with sauce like it was starring in its own Food Network slow-mo reel. The other was a crunchy, tangy, biscuit-lovin' masterpiece stacked with perfectly fried chicken, cabbage slaw, and dreams. This place is not for the faint of appetite. You will leave full. You will need a nap. And you will already be planning your next visit before you even finish your drink. 10/10. Bring your hunger, your friends, and stretchy pants.

This seems like a great spot to work from, although they also had a wonderful (windy) rooftop to sit on also.. that looked like it had a fireplace for chillier days- so cozy. Best coffee in KC.

    In the storied enclave of Waldo, where the rhythm of Kansas City pulses with a quiet, neighborly…read morecharm, there stands a sanctuary not of silent stone, but of flour, butter, and memory: McLain's Bakery. To step through its threshold is to surrender to the siren song of warmth that curls from the oven like a whispered secret. I have made it my pilgrimage to traverse the entirety of their menu, a culinary odyssey that has yielded no false steps, only a symphony of consistency that borders on the miraculous. Each offering, from the flaky, golden architecture of their pastries to the robust, honest comfort of their savory fare, is a testament to the artisan's hand. Here, affordability is not a sacrifice of quality but a generous invitation, a rare confluence where the exquisite meets the accessible. There is a certain magic in the air at McLain's, a sweetness that feels woven into the very fabric of the establishment. It is a place that understands the language of comfort, speaking it fluently in the dialect of a perfect crust or the rich, dark notes of a expertly pulled espresso. It is perhaps no surprise that such a bastion of authentic delight has garnered a reputation that extends far beyond our local borders; if the standard of excellence is high enough to grace the plate of Taylor Swift, then surely, it is more than enough for us, the grateful residents who claim this treasure as our own. Yet, beyond the flour-dusted counters and the glowing glass cases, my deepest admiration is reserved for their spirit. In a world that often measures worth in cold, transactional metrics, McLain's chooses to honor those who pour themselves into the future of our community. As a teacher, I feel that recognition in the small gestures, the welcoming nods, and the genuine appreciation they extend to educators. It is a profound kindness, a recognition that the work of shaping minds requires nourishment, both intellectual and literal. They understand that a classroom is a marathon, and they act as the essential pit stop, providing the fuel that keeps the light of inquiry burning bright. To dine at McLain's is to participate in a ritual of belonging. It is a place where the passage of time is marked not by the ticking of a clock, but by the turning of the oven trays. It is a reliable heartbeat in the neighborhood, steadfast and true, offering a reprieve from the clamor of the outside world. Whether one seeks a quiet moment of reflection over a cup of coffee or a celebratory feast that honors the simple, profound joy of eating well, McLain's remains an unrivaled steward of taste. It is not merely a bakery; it is the living, breathing soul of Waldo, a place where every bite serves as a reminder that some things in this life are exactly as good as they ought to be.

    For the first time ever I used McLain's for catering and I'm officially bumping my review from 4 to…read more5 stars because honestly they did such a spectacular job at such a reasonable price I'm already wishing I had another excuse to order from them again! 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!

Seating might be full, but there's both counter seating in the open concept kitchen or tables on the other side. A lot of people rave about their breakfast burritos or breakfast biscuit sandwiches. My out of town guests love them too when I bring them here. I'm here to rave about their weekend only croissants. You can only get them on Saturday or Sunday because it takes a days to ferment and laminate the dough. The quality of their ingredients shines in even the simplest plain croissant. I'll occasionally venture into the chocolate or almond version. They rival some of the best I've had in NYC, SF or Paris. In KC, the only other rivals can be found at French Market or Sour Rabbit Bakery. I'm glad their croissants are weekend only so I can have them as an occasional treat. I find their other pastries, especially the tarts, biscuits or scones are also lovely. For a baked goods focused spot, I'd say their cold brew is also pretty great quality as well. Usually I'd go to another coffee shop for a fix, but I'm okay grabbing both a croissant and cold brew here. I haven't been for their "after hours" dinner specials, but that's next on my to do list there!
