The women working the cashier was very kind and helpful. Absolutely fantastic quality of food and coffee! Our whole group was impressed with everything that we ordered. The stand out was the bacon Gouda sandwich on some phenomenal ciabatta bread. The bagel was outstanding. The pastry case was drool worthy and we'll have to come back to eat through it. Price wise its a bit on the pricey side but worth it for the quality you're receiving. Lots of free street parking available. Note for the cold brew lovers - they don't serve cold brew so be ready with your back up order.

Wow! I'm so happy I stopped in this cute little spot…read more It's a cute little shop tucked into a small office building in a residential area. It's small but not too small with the outdoor and upstairs seating. I was quickly greeted by the very friendly staff after walking in. I asked "what's the best thing on the menu if I was never to be here again (I'm a driver and likely won't)" and she said the bacon Gouda and boy oh boy was it good! The bacon was very high quality and so was the bread. The cheese was super melted and made the almost garlic buttery mayo taste even better. I would highly recommend it and would recommend this place!!

Billie's Grocery is bright, clean, and spacious, and clearly very popular! We visited on a Monday…read moremorning, and it was already packed. The menu looks amazing, with plenty of healthy breakfast and brunch options. It's self-seating, and once you order at the counter, they bring the food to your table based on your number. There's also a convenient self-serve station stocked with to-go boxes, silverware, water, and salt and pepper. I ordered a mushroom latte, a pistachio blondie cake, and the mushroom toast, which was absolutely delicious. The rest of our table had a breakfast bowl, waffles, and a burrito. Everything is made to order and tasted fresh. I'm still not sure what's in the Blue Milk, but my cousin's kid absolutely loved it! Overall, it's a fantastic brunch spot in KC.

We came with a large amount of friends and basically ordered one of everything. I was introduced to the Sicilian style pizza that I have to say is now my favorite. We were able to seat a group of about 20, but that only left a few smaller tables for other parties. You order through a QR code which I always find convenient for customization. I highly recommend this place. We don't live in the area, but I think it's worth the drive anyway once in a while. I have also since signed up for their weekly emails and they have some sort of special just about every week day.

My friend and I met for Happy Hour at Whole Harvest Kitchen, and we had a MARVELOUS time!…read moreOur server was Sofhia V, and she was the soul of hospitality. When we told her it was our first visit to the restaurant, she took the time to carefully go over the menus with us (regular, happy hour, and drinks), providing her recommendations when we asked. Her guidance was spot-on-target! For drinks, I had a Mindful Chai and my friend had the 3-Beverage Flight (Golden Hour, Heart Says Thanks, and Tres Raices). My chai was the BEST I have ever tasted (and I order chai every chance I get!), and my friend loved her 3 drinks (she said Tres Raices was her favorite). For our food, we split an order of the Not Queso Dip and the Avocado Tostadas. We were both very impressed by how fresh the ingredients were, and the blend of flavors in each dish that created a unique and yummy taste. The Kitchen has an open, airy layout that inspires deep breathing, while the arrangement and spacing of tables still provides for intimacy of conversation and minimal ambient noise. Sofhia checked back with us several times during our meal to ensure we had everything we needed and were thoroughly enjoying our food and drink (we were!). It was a delightful meal, and we thank Sofhia, the kitchen staff, and everyone at Whole Harvest Kitchen for such a lovely time. We'll be back!!

*Wonderful Staff* *Beautiful Space*…read more*Delicious Food* What else could you want?? We visited for lunch and kept it simple - two apps and an entree. What a treat! We didn't sample, but next time I'd like to try a flight of their wellness drinks! The LETTUCE CRUNCH WRAPS (soy-glazed jicama & tofu, lentil, pickled veg, walnut, cilantro, sesame dip) were an absolute favorite. Highly recommended! The texture was very well balanced. Silky smooth butter lettuce and a delicious sauce on the side, although it truly didn't even need it. The AVOCADO TOSTADAS (blue corn tostada, guacamole, quinoa, white bean, radish, pickled red onion, super seed) were yummy, but our least favorite of the three. Instead of a thin layer of mashed avocados, I'd honestly just put a few nice slices of avocado for the bulk of it. Taste was lovely! It is a totally cold dish, fyi. The HARVEST WOK BOWL (split pea-fu, beluga lentil, farro, snap pea, greens, brown rice, daikon, cashew, ginger-scallion sauce) was completely phenomenal. I could do without the split pea-fu, but it probably added some great nutrition! The FLAVOR and texture of this dish was so so good. I can't even right now. (As my teenager would say...) Enjoy!!

We shared the Meddys Main Plate with chicken and it was easily one of the best Greek meals I've had.

I read up on GF+1 and saw that they are grain free, gluten free and don't use any refined sugar (I do some baking at home and was intrigued). The cake looked gorgeous and so I needed to see if the taste lived up to expectations. I enjoy vegan food and bakery but I won't cut it slack because it's vegan, it still needs to taste good. With all that said, GF+1 doesn't disappoint, the cake was very moist and tasted like rich chocolate. I saw that GF+1 also sells whole cakes, I would definitely consider using them for a future event. Keep up the good work guys, your doing some great stuff in the kitchen!

Decent option for dinner…read more I stopped by earlier this week on my first night in town, and sat at the end of the bar. The bartender served me a Guinness (on tap, of course!) and then recommended the Monday Steak Night special ($60) - a prix fixe option which included a salad plus one of four types of steak, sides, and dessert. I opted for the house salad (with sherry vinaigrette dressing), the hangar steak (he was selling it hard!), sautéed green beans, and lemon meringue pie. The house salad was superb, with delicious chunks of goat cheese! I also enjoyed the sautéed green beans, loaded with sliced almonds and fresh garlic. The hangar steak was probably the most disappointing, and solely responsible for this review not earning 5 stars. I took half of it to go along with half of the green beans. The lemon meringue pie looked delicious but I could not eat another bite, so that also went into a to-go container. Back in my hotel room that night, working late as I was jet lagged, I ate that pie. OMG! PURE HEAVEN!! And the main reason this review earned 4 stars! Will be back for the salad and green beans and pie! And some Guinness on tap, of course!!

Overpriced chicken, a stellar mushroom side, and an aggressive exit strategy…read more After some custom cocktails nearby, our famished group headed to Rye for some dinner and dessert. The space was nice and clean, but unfortunately, the service and the "famous" main course didn't quite deliver a stellar performance. Our table was split--some wanted dinner, some wanted dessert. This apparently threw our waiter into a state of deep existential confusion. The Food: I ordered their "famous" fried chicken, customizing it to three thighs (which came with homemade pickles and a fantastic ham gravy). For $24, it wasn't bad, but it's definitely not "famous" for flavor--maybe just famous for the price tag. Honestly, I could have filled up at Popeyes for a fraction of the cost. Surprisingly, the absolute star of my meal was the side of sautéed mushrooms. It came with little pearl onions, shallots, and green peas. I topped it with some of my friend's arugula to make it fancy, and it was delicious. The Service (or lack thereof): Here's where it went downhill. The dessert order became a saga. Those who ordered sweets expected them to arrive with the mains, but we had to ask several times just to get them toward the end of the meal. By the end, our waiter seemed completely frustrated with our existence. He aggressively boxed up the remaining desserts and semi-forcefully shoved the credit card machine into our faces to shuffle us out the door. Great mushrooms, aggressive math at the end. Proceed with caution.

They had a nice specials board with some interesting stuff. Notice the prices on the board the place is priced well. My omelette was fine. It could have used a bit more cheese, and the vegetables could have used a bit more time cooking. It did have lots of ham. The hash browns were good but the toast had that fake oil tasting butter instead of real butter and I don't like that stuff. My wife got the pancakes and she thought they were good and had plenty of syrup, but again fake butter. Our waitress was super attentive and friendly. I accidentally put French vanilla in my coffee and she brought me a new cup straight away. The place is what you would expect it to be from looking at it from the outside. Nothing fancy, but that doesn't bother us at all. We like eating breakfast at these greasy spoons. All in all it was fine. Not sure I would drive across town to eat there but if we were close we might go again.
