The food, coffee, and service are always top notch at this neighborhood joint in loveable, liveable, downtown KC!

Gooey cakes are tasty Disappointed they don't offer heavy cream to pour into their black coffee. Half and half is weak read more

Consistent and quick service. The caprese Sammy is so good, definitely my new favorite menu item. read more

We stopped by Mildred's for breakfast last weekend and had a delightful time. The coffees were tasty, the food came out quickly, and the atmosphere was great. And the steamed eggs - worth it. While I really enjoyed the breakfast hash, I do wish there had been about half as much aioli on the dish as it was a bit smothering. Would recommend! read more

We have seen this pop up a million times on our searches, but the line has always been extremely long and we didn't want to wait it out. Today, we took advantage of this location next to our hotel and I'm soooo happy we did! Delicious! Snug restaurant on the inside, with several tables set up almost communal. I don't mind that at all. Very nice use of a small space. We ordered a breakfast sandwich and a burrito with two drip coffees. The coffee is free refills and was a pretty legit cup. The food was the shining star! I dig all over a breakfast burrito and this one hit the spot. The husband loved his sausage, egg sandwich. The egg was cooked perfectly! I know, that's a weird sentence. lol Just trust me. Will definitely return here the first chance I have. read more

If you miss this restaurant, shame on you. Wow. Tasty and a KC staple! Ambiance is spectacular, old school, hence the name Mildred's.

I went to 2 locations on different days and the food and service was great at both. I don't drink fancy coffee but the drip coffee was good at one and the americano was good at the other. I had the standard with a fruit cup and it was good. The next day I had the chipotle burrito and it was a little better. read more

I feel like I ordered the wrong thing. This place is cute but the sandwich had a strange taste (probably the mayo because the eggs and bacon tasted great) and the latte was just okay. It had alot of people inside hanging out so the vibes were good. And the service was friendly and inviting. read more

Really pleasant counter service and lots of interesting choices on their menu. I appreciate being able to get a sandwich on gluten free bread. However, I found the guacamole chicken club to be quite boring. The ingredients are lovely: hunks of chicken and fresh spinach leaves and nice crispy bacon, but the guacamole is pretty tasteless. My dining companion got the Caesar salad and I used a little of her dressing on my sandwich...it is delicious. Not sure I would rush back as my sandwich was $15, and i realized later, they didn't even include the potato chips that are supposed to come with it. read more

Mildred's has established itself as one of KC's best and most reliable breakfast/ coffee spots, and this location serves up the quality we've come to expect from this local brand. I'm not sure what took me so long to try out this location, I guess I'm not often downtown by the library a lot, but if you find yourself in the area Mildred's is going to be your best bet for fresh food and great coffee. The ambiance here is wonderful. They've maintained some of the old building's charm, and there is plenty of room to find a table for a meeting. The wifi was good, the iced coffee I had was delicious, and the folks working were really kind. Without a doubt this a worthwhile stop if on the hunt for coffee downtown. read more

I LOVE the breakfast burrito. Anytime I come into the city from STL, Mildred's is a must-visit, and I always tell my friends about it. They have a great pastry selection and really tasty beverage options too. read more

I go to Mildred's pretty often. It is a busy, fast paced, casual dining, environment, but the staff are always friendly. My go to options are the Vegan Breakfast Hash and recently the Butternut Squash and Beet Panini. I had an issue with a delivery and the manager, Clint, delivered my order himself! Above and beyond service! Lifelong loyalty earned. Try Mildred's! read more

Mildred's was recommended by a friend, AND Chappell Roan likes them, so I naturally had to check it out. We were very glad we did! My breakfast sandwich, while simple, was made with such fresh bread and tender egg - not to mention their aioli-like spread that was heavenly. I got a snickerdoodle latte which was so smooth and flavorful - not too sweet. The workers were very friendly and although it was busy on a Sunday, the service was fast and the vibe inside wasn't too chaotic. They also have some cute little tables outside. read more

Mildred's was a great find for breakfast. I had the quiche, cinnamon roll, and chocolate chip banana bread. The quiche was light and fluffy and came with a salad. This was nice and healthy. The bakery items were baked fresh and were rich in flavor. The servers were nice and friendly. The restaurant had a great atmosphere . read more

Such a cute location! We stopped in for a quick morning bite while visiting KC. The customer service was great and service was quick. I ordered the biscuits and gravy. The gravy was delicious and tasted homemade. The biscuits, however, were on the drier side making it hard to finish. read more

Mildred's - Store Front - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

I've been to this location so many times because it's near my work and they always get it right. This location gets so busy because it is one of the few places in the area that is not only reliable but also affordable. My go-to is the BLT and pretty much my regular order unless I decide to go for something completely different. The best part is you can do half sandwiches and you still get a bag of chips with it even if you do get half. The staff is always friendly and they keep it moving along especially when there is a crowd. The pastries are also quite good. Happy eating and remember: Don't deny, satisfy! read more

We heard a lot about this place, so we got here first thing Sunday morning when they opened at 8am. The coffees were excellent, pastries were perfect and yummy. We tried the Cinnamon Roll and added a slab of butter!!! the breakfast sandwich was ok, very bland, needed a little more spices to flavor it up. It was pretty quite on Sunday so there was plenty of parking. I still a bigger fan of Billie's grocer on Linwood or McClains in Waldo. read more

Love love love Mildred's. One of my favorite breakfast spots in kc! It's a great spot to sit down or pick up to go- although parking can be a bit limited at times. The service is always fast and friendly, and the vibe is very casual and cute. I love the breakfast hash, it's my absolute favorite. They also make great iced lattes and cookies! read more

Mildred's is always great stop when I'm in KC :) I haven't been to the downtown location before, my usual is the location in the Crossroads. The downtown location has ample seating and they have chargers in the wall bench! They also have great, FREE wifi for remote workers. Now for the food and drink! I ordered a matcha latte with almond milk and vanilla syrup with a sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich. Both items come out in a timely manner and are delicious! Kudos to the workers here, especially the woman at the counter who was on her first shift! She crushed it :) Rating this a 4/5 because it is a solid staple but didn't blow my mind to get that 5/5 rating. read more

Came here to try out their chipotle breakfast wrap. Very cute inside! You're able to buy their shirts too. Got the chipotle wrap with chicken sausage. Wish I had more sauce but otherwise it was delicious and big! I would definitely come back again to try other dishes read more

GET THE CHIPOTLE BFAST WRAP! The crispy potatoes and sauce inside of that thing made it soooo tasty. I also tried a bite of my friends orders: sausage egg and cheese, gazpacho soup, and avocado toast. Out of this world. All winners in my opinion!!! read more

There was a bad, burnt, oily smell from their oven. I couldn't even stay there. It was $10 for an egg, arugula, bacon bits and diced potato hash so with a coffee that's already $16 for breakfast?? It was too expensive. And there must be a ton of garlic in it and you will have awful breath, all day. It's downtown so hard to find a spot, and you have to pay unless you get it validated at the nearby library and only stay an hour. read more

Mildreds is a fun dine-in or carry-out brunch cafe. We ordered and dined in. They have a selection of breakfast and lunch items to choose from. The coffee was great. read more

Love Mildred's! Love. Great staff, cool location, and a staple breakfast grab when I don't feel like messing up a clean kitchen. Breakfast sandwiches - great. The standard, chipotle wrap and sausage breakfast sammie all have been mastered. The lunch sandwiches are epic too. Personal favorite being the turkey Swiss with cranberry dijionaise. And the kicker is my sweet grandma's name was Mildred, and she was always so happy and insisted on feeding everyone. Its downtown spot is a staple for us, my son and partner all love it. Getting it again today! (Had it yesterday as well). PS they have Irish coffee, great branding, all around the winner. read more

The service was fine, the food came out pretty quick but it was not hot but very flavorful. It look like it had been sitting on the counter for 15 min. The expresso was a mini shot, and was super strong... and not hot as well. read more

Mildred's has the absolute best owners... and you can tell. The staff is always kind... the food is great... and the prices are actually reasonable. This is hands down my favorite quick breakfast and coffee spot in the city. You can order online for pickup... have it delivered... or just walk up and order on the spot. It is that easy. read more

Great atmosphere and food and drinks and staff everything was fantastic I really liked the bloody mary and the they souvenirs

The food was really tasty and fresh. Service was fine, and the place has ample seating. I felt like the pricing was extremely fair for the quality of the food. My issue was with the perceived cleanliness and especially the abhorrent food handling as I sat watching the kitchen during and for a time following my lunch. The woman working the pass, packing to go orders and finishing and serving plates to in house diners, would not stop touching her face and hair, wiping her nose and apparently having an issue with her mouth as she kept playing with it. I watched her pick trash up off of the floor, have a play fight with a friend, and not once in the nearly 40 minutes I was there did she wash her hands. It was really gross. Sincerely, as good as the food was, I wouldn't recommend or go back. read more

Love stopping in this location for a work week lunch or a treat after visiting the library. Some of my favorite sandwiches have been the ham and Swiss, the porchetta, and their seasonal caprese. I love that you can just get a half. This location can get a little chilly in the winter time but in the warmer months, the outside picnic tables in the alley are great. I loved every coffee drink I've gotten, even it's a simple cappuccino. The the staff is friendly and helpful. read more

Love Mildred's! I've had breakfast at their location in the Historic 9th Street District, I ate the Breakfast Hash scrambled tofu with vegan chorizo, arugula with Chipotle aioli both times, so good. I'm not a vegan but why not. Both locations have the same menu , the other is located in the crossroads. They have brunch drinks, wine, beer, not coffee, kombucha on tap. Irish cold brew anyone? read more

Mildred's is a must visit when in the city! I can honestly say I'm there at least once a month. The food is delicious and quickly served and the staff is so friendly and accommodating! I often get the vegan breakfast hash and I'm never disappointed. It's filling, healthy, and delicious! When I'm not eating, I love popping in for a coffee to go! The vibes are open, bright, and inviting! I've recommended it to friends and family when they're in town and would highly recommend it to anyone else! read more

Mildred's is my go to coffee shop for so many things from my morning brew to lunch, and we even had our post-wedding brunch here in the outside ally (open house style). It can get busy / difficult to get a seat at times because it's so popular but just be patient and something will open up and it will be worth the wait. I love their standard breakfast sandwich, homemade granola bar if I'm not AS hungry, and for drinks the Milly's Au Lait and their Mango Iced Tea are divine! Their seasonal and flavored coffee beverages in general are well balanced and not too sweet. Great branding and merch. Friendly, kind staff. Street parking. If you're a local and haven't been, why not?? read more
