While in town I was invited for breakfast at the Neighborhood Cafe In Lee's Summit with one of my best friend and co-worker. We were seated right away but everything afterwards went right down the drain. While seated and being served coffee the cafe also gave out free cinnamon rolls which were days old according to my friend. I chose the salmon(lachs) bagel and it sucked, for once it was undercooked and worse pre-made! The was sadly the worst dining experience while in town! read more

Ordered the BLT which was very good. They bring cinnamon buns out when you first sit down which were also very good. One thing that was weird was my grandpa ordered a tuna salad sandwich and 20 minutes after ordering the waitress came to our table and said they ran out of tuna. That's something you mention a few minutes after ordering. It did take us a long time to get our food but they were busy. Very good would come back. read more

First off...you get seated AND immediately get complimentary cinnamon rolls?! Excuse me, what?! They were hands down, DELISH! Ordered the Brioche French Toast. Good heavens, was it just yum! One thing that threw me off a bit - when pulling up, all I saw was a " cafe " sign, so I drove past the restaurant. However, tons of street parking and lot across the street. It is a 2 lane street, with working trucks offloading/loading, so be careful. Recommend you purchase their cinnamon rolls to take home. You won't regret it. read more

I was in Lee's Summit for the day and decided to stop in for brunch. It was pretty good. The food wasn't spectacular, but it was yummy. The service was great. And the ambiance was pretty cool. I got a breakfast combo that I can't remember the name of. AND..they bring out a cinnamon roll when you have been seated. For free. It was great for free! The price was pretty good for the amount of food you get. I'd return if I'm in the area again someday. read more

Always a great place. Been here so much with kids and grands. Best food and service and history!

Great food, great service. Amazing cinnamon rolls. Nice touch having a Cinnamon roll while waiting for your food included with your meal. Price value was good for what we got. read more

Quaint local breakfast restaurant. Not particularly head-turning, but it's an option. There were complementary cinnamon rolls as if it were bread and butter at dinner. They tasted inoffensive at worst. I had the country breakfast burrito. I wasn't a fan of it. My girlfriend and I agreed on the sentiment that "It's just slightly better than a frozen breakfast burrito, and I can make better burritos at home". The service was okay, mainly regarding the small water cups since they may have ran out of larger cups. It was often that I was without water trying to eat my burrito and couldn't wash it down. The servers seemed all cluttered by the ramp between the two rooms, and not fully aware of their surroundings. The front room was much less decorated than the back room, it felt like we were walking into a for-sale house with booths and chairs in it. But where we actually sat, in the back room, the newspapers and pictures on the wall were cool and comfortable decor. read more

As a new resident as a new resident in Lee's Summit, I was happy to find this place early on. We've been to Neighborhood Café several times now, and it's a very solid breakfast spot. This is where we take people this is where we take people who are visiting. I love the complementary, cinnamon rolls! The chicken fried steak is hand breaded. The atmosphere is very quaint, and you may find yourself and you may find yourself seated with strangers who become friends. This place is a local gem which we will continue to support. read more

I went to the Neighborhood Cafe in Lee's Summit, it was a very nice mom and mom diner with lunch and breakfast with daily specials. You can easily spend under $30 for 3 people, it's pretty affordable and the food is very good. The servers were all friendly as well - it's pretty small inside but a great restaurant for lunch and breakfast, I'd recommend the breakfast platter with bacon. read more

love this local spot, often stop in for the cinnamon rolls- but you never know if you're getting a fluffy, golden, well baked one, OR an undercooked, raw, doughy one. I'm hoping they can figure out the problem, not sure if it's a certain baker or employee undercooking them but I'm hoping they can be more consistent with their cinnamon rolls. read more

The food is always cooked JUST rich and to order! I asked for extra crispy bacon and it was PERFECT! Their staff and servers were some of the BEST I have ever had. read more

Neighborhood Cafe is one of my favorite spots to visit on Sunday for brunch (although they are open daily). This spot serves homemade complimentary cinnamon rolls as an appetizer!! My go-to dish is the Country Breakfast served with eggs, bacon, hash browns, sausage, & biscuits and gravy. Other top favorites include the Everything Skillet, Chorizo Burrito, and the Breakfast Tacos. Did I mention you can eat all you can eat fried chicken on Sundays for less than $15?? There are burgers, salads, sandwiches, desserts & more. Stop by Neighborhood Cafe today! read more

All good! Delicious cinnamon rolls and food. Love newspaper front pages wall display.

Quick and friendly service. Home cooking and large portions for the price. Every breakfast comes with a free cinnamon roll!

I think the strengths of this operation are the staff and the ambiance. That said, my wife and I both had good family style tasty food in a generous proportions. The decor is plain with the exception of the wall decorations. Like wall paper, there are frame pictures of many veterans (I can only assume locals) which is very patriotic and inspiring as well as many authentic newspaper front pages from important eras in American history (a nice touch). Lastly, the staff, even though quite busy, was attentive, cordial and efficient. You could tell they enjoyed what they did and that they like each other as they were always helping out one another. Oh, and don't forget the awesome iced cinnamon roll hot from the oven for every table, delicious! read more

This was the last time I'll be going to this place. The quality of food and service have consistently gone down since I started coming here. It is literally freezing cold outside, and came in for something hot to eat. My chilly was cold on top, my hot tea was room temperature, and they wanted to charge me for additional tea bags. Who does that? I've never been charged per tea bag, anywhere. Well, I made the mistake of going back one more time. Basically, if you're not a regular, don't expect any attention or service. The food is sub-par. Any reviews that were given by anyone more than a few months ago are obsolete, as everything about this place has changed: the menu, the staff, the hours of operation. It was a mistake to go back, and I won't make that mistake again. read more

Food was excellent. Service was also excellent. Will go again soon. Love the cinnamon rolls.

It's our anniversary weekend so we decided to check out a new breakfast spot. New to us but nestled in Downtown Lee's Summit. Diner atmosphere, very cozy and lots of breakfast traffic. The wait was only a few minutes and the dine in service great. Immediately upon being seated a server brought over a couple of warm cinnamon rolls. Although I would have preferred a tab bit more icing to counter the ratio of the bread it was still warm and delicious. I myself opted to try the French Toast, substitute the eggs for American breakfast potatoes and turkey sausage. I really enjoyed that the turkey sausage wasn't the average links or pre-patted patties. The char and savoriness made it very tasty. I will say I like my breakfast potatoes a little crisper, bit they were still fresh which makes a huge difference. Hubby ordered the Chicken and Waffles. Which as you can see was well constructed. His first thought was, "how do I eat this?" Let's just say I had the pleasure of watching him figure it out and he was stuffed once done. His suggestion was to definitely ask for additional syrup. This restaurant was a nice breakfast change up. And I'd say that we will return again. read more

Such a good place for breakfast! I have been a time before and got breakfast tacos this time and that time! So good, super filling and good flavor. Sister enjoyed French toast too. Unique feel, good and fast service and interesting ambience (so many newspaper cuttings from historic moments). Also, you always start with a cinnamon roll which is amazing read more

When I say I want to go to a diner, this is what I mean. What a delicious option in DTLS. I've never had a meal I didn't like here nor left feeling like I was ripped off. It's one of the few restaurants left where you still get a great bang for your buck. The portions vs the price can't be beat, honestly. The service is always excellent, and the environment is one I wish more restaurants still had. It's like being wrapped up in a comforting hug. Their omelets, hashes, and cinnamon rolls are must-haves. Their drip coffee is delicious as well. I am not sure what grounds they use, but I love them! read more

We drove over one town to check out this cafe recommended to us for good breakfast. Well, I wouldn't do that again...nothing great about this breakfast - small scramble egg portion with my waffle. Bacon very tiny pieces and thin. Waffle was cooked well but by the time I got it- wasn't hot. Syrup was warm but didn't melt my butter. Coffee was the best part of my breakfast. They do give you a cinnamon roll, but wasn't hot and was pretty bland of cinnamon. We won't go back. read more

Great time! Beautiful place filled with the past and present. Excellent food and service. Great place in greater town

One word, actually two... Cinnamon Rolls!!!! Melt in your mouth, decadent, buttery, like out of your grandmas oven DELICIOUS cinnamon rolls. Honestly could careless what else I had but of course I had to have breakfast because one can not subsist off free cinnamon rolls. (Well I probably could but had no time to try since I am only in the state for a few more days.) Anywho, I ate here twice in my weeks stay and it was consistently fabulous! I had the #4 Biscuit breakfast which is yum with a side of yum. Then came back and had the #1 hotcakes breakfast and it was yummy yet again. Oh! The staff is absolutely the sweetest with the best Midwest kindness that was not lost for a second on this California girl. What a sweet lil' treasure in the heart of Downtown Lee's Summit. Will be back when I return in the spring! Update: Ate there a third time, before my flight back to California. I'm telling you I am so in love with this sweet sweet place. read more

WOW. I love, loveeeee myself a Hometown diner for breakfast, and this was exactly my kind of place. Stopped on my way out of town, cross-country driving from Ohio to Nevada and this was a perfect (and very filling) breakfast, perfect before my long drive! Just happened to be the morning of the Chiefs parade, too, so entertainment wasn't lacking either. The place was pretty spacious for a downtown restaurant and it was pretty busy, too! A good sign of good food, I would say! The wait staff immediately came to the table with cinnamon rolls and coffee, and right away werre available to take our orders. Our waitress was kind and very helpful in choosing my breakfast, she was conversational and pleasant as well. I ended up getting a classsic country breakfast with biscuit and gravy, bacon, sausage, hash browns, and eggs (over hard)--all of which was delicious, and all well cooked. Not hard, not squishy, perfect. And the gravy was absolutely delicious. Side note: the tables have advertisements of neighborhood businesses and such, which makes me love this place even more!! Gotta support each other and the successes! The cinnamon rolls were to die for, I'm wishing I brought some with me to Nevada!! Definitely a place worth a stop. And at a good price, too! Thanks Neighborhood team! read more

I get Sunday breakfast with my framily every week. Yesterday we decided to check out this cafe in Downtown Lee's Summit. They serve you house-made cinnamon rolls while you review the menu! They are delicious and perfect with a hot cup of coffee. I ordered the classic Eggs Benedict, it was cooked perfectly and served with potatoes. Such a hearty breakfast to get me through a busy busy day. The rest of the group enjoyed their cinnamon rolls and breakfast items too. The server was a sweetheart and was quick with all the things we asked for. The decor is pretty cool, old LS newspapers framed on the walls and local business ads on the tables is a nice touch. The only downside is the tables are super close together so you can hear all conversations around you. Get to know your neighbors!! read more

This place reeks of cigarette smoke. It was so strong that I couldn't stay and eat here. I'm disappointed, the food looked good!!

Nice old school neighborhood diner. Good food coupled with attentive service. Visited for brunch, I enjoyed an excellent country omelette; cheese, bacon, onions and sausage covered with country gravy. I'm doing low carb so did not get potatoes or hash browns or biscuit so no comment there. I did however partake of the free cinnamon roll "appetizer" which was excellent; moist, loaded with cinnamon and covered with sweet glaze. My wife had the eggs Benedict and liked it very much...she did say it was a bit salty but she's very sensitive to salt. I look forward to coming back for lunch in the near future. read more
