And i was charged for it after looking at my receipt! And yet somehow this still managed to taste like nothing at the same time. Its watery and simply rushed! For nearly $13, that's unacceptable. If you're charging that much, the drink should at least be made correctly and have some actual flavor. It is poorly made, and it definitely wasn't worth the money. I wouldn't order this again, and I wouldn't recommend it based on this experience.

The continued downfall of First Watch in Lee's Summit…read more A while back it was announced that First Watch corporate has purchased the previous franchise location in Lee's Summit. I have been a regular customer there for quite a while. When the franchise owned this location, the food was great, the location was extremely clean and efficient and most of the employees were very happy there. Since the buyback, the food has really done downhill. My orders, generally a simple breakfast, have consistently been incorrect. Over hard eggs come out runny, their famous cubed potatoes are consistently luke warm at best, order crispy bacon and out comes the opposite. I was informed by a few current employees that the new ownership has now cut back the hours of long-standing, formally happy, now disgruntled servers to 4 days a week. These workers are very upset and disgruntled. It's a much longer drive now but if I want a great breakfast with happy employees, I go to the Corner Cafe in Independence. Very sad situation indeed!!

We found a seat and I ordered a tenderloin sandwich, Mom got a chicken fried chicken meal. Ordering was fast, but it did take quite a while for our food to arrive. Probably being one of the first tables to order lunch influenced the timing. As you'll see in pictures others have posted of the food, the portions are HUGE. I ate my delicious fries and a few bites of tenderloin and Mom had some nibbles around on hers and we were already full so we packaged up our leftovers to take home. We ended up eating 4 meals EACH out of what we'd ordered! Mom said the breading on her chicken wasn't very flavorful. My breading was fine, but it does seem to be a different coating on the two items. Minus one star for the comfy, but very soiled seats that looked like 25 years of science experiments gone wrong.

It has quickly become our favorite neighborhood spot for breakfast and brunch. The food is consistently delicious and thoughtfully done. The Morning Harvest quinoa bowl is a standout -- hearty, healthy, and flavorful -- and the open bagel sandwiches are another go-to that I look forward to ordering. It's so nice to have lighter, nourishing options that still feel indulgent. The space itself is small and cozy, and the team has done a wonderful job maximizing what they have without it ever feeling cramped. The wait for food can sometimes be a bit long, but it's clearly made to order and absolutely worth it. Bean & Vine has become a place my husband and I happily return to again and again, and we are so glad to have it in the community.

All delicious. The food....I don't know even know. Rough. The roast beef hash was more like a soup? With very wet and bruised yet crunchy diced potatoes?

After looking around at other tables the breakfast sandwich looked like really the only palatable choice. Everything else was just...wet? Go for drinks for sure though.

Okay, so they let me be picky with the danish I wanted, warmed it up, and brought my drink to me in the back while I was chilling. Top tier service all around, thank you handsome lad with black hair (sorry I never got your name!) The lavender Vanilla latte was delicious - not too sweet, had the right amount of coffee balanced with the rest. I really enjoyed it I haven't had a poptart in forever for a good reason but when I took a close look at this I could tell icing was generous and applied recently, and the filling would be great. And I was right! Also the blueberry part of the danish melted in my mouth since it was warmed up - absolutely delightful! The vibes are great for crowds, dates, or even a hangout spot. There is a bar in the back if you want to take the vibes even further. I'll be returning for another poptart and drink :)

I'm guessing a bunch of KCAI dropouts broke in one night and built a stage area and bar, moved in a bunch of mismatched furniture and spent $200 on garage sale "finds"; hung and painted some wild art and the requisite graffiti.... I'm not sure how to politely describe this space other than - IT'S Effing PERFECT! After reading about Farewell in a piece from KCUR, I ventured over early on a Saturday to check it out. I was slightly timid to enter not knowing what to expect, but as soon as I opened the door, I knew KC had a very cool and organic place to support live music. I sat at the bar and had a great conversation with bartender / barista Angel. I ordered the first Machiatto that Angel had ever created and it was great. Not wanting to leave so soon, I decided to have a beer and savor the atmosphere while checking out the entire space since I was the only customer. Lot's of art and artifacts to keep the eyes busy, the bathroom is lined with yellowed newspapers from the 60's and the back patio/garden looks like the caretaker passed away a few years ago. I am eager to return for some live music and truly experience the vibe. The booking calendar shows a range of musical styles but heavy on hardcore with multiple acts each night and a lot of touring bands as well as the local start-ups. This place is the epitome of Punk and KC is fortunate a new venue to carry-on the legacy.

The pickles were good, the onion rings were even better. Then I had a cold italian pasta salad that was probably the best I have ever had. The fresh baked cheddar roll went with it nicely.

The oreo crunch was pleasant and the dish was RICH. I hope to go back one day. The price was VERY reasonable for the amount of food.
