I went a relatively safe route and got lavender honey, which was absolutely delicious & had the perfect amount of lavender flavor. Had to get it in a waffle cone which was so soft (in a good way) that it was more of a pancake cone. Ambiance is cute, service was fast. Can't comment on parking, but it's readily accessible with Metro. 10/10 would recommend!

Hey, you know what you need after having spent most of the afternoon trying all the KC BBQ places…read moreand wondering what to do next, ice cream was suggested. Why not? Especially since Betty Rae's is a local landmark. Since it was a holiday weekend the lines were long, especially with the way the coolers were oriented. The flavors were laid out on a little tree near the drinks cooler, what should I get? Something a little lighter like their sorbet? I texted a former KC local friend of mine and he said go the ice cream route. I eventually settled on the Goat cheese, apricot and candied walnut with the Chantilly cake in one of their homemade waffle cones. I was expecting the Goat cheese flavor would be the standout but the Chantilly cake with the berries was slightly better; the goat cheese was a little too rich. The ice cream was a little softer than I expected and with the soft waffle made it a bit messier than it should have been.

Call me a fan of High Hopes. First things first: it can't be denied that over the past few years…read moreHigh Hopes has climbed its way to the top of the craft ice cream mountain here in Kansas City. This spot has a cult following and I'm embarrassed to say how long it took me to get over here to pick up a cone and see what it's all about. I am glad though, that I made the trek and I'm happy to say I've been back a few times since! First thing you'll notice about this spot is that it's a walk up counter, and there is something charming about that. There are a few tables outside on the sidewalk if you want to stay and enjoy your ice cream on the spot. The next thing you'll notice are all of the interesting flavors, my favorite so far has been the banana haze, but I have a feeling they all are good. On hot summer nights there will be a line here, but it's worth the wait and honestly what ice cream spot doesn't have a line in the summer? The folks working are always super nice and willing to answer any questions you have. You'll walk away with a really great sized scoop for the price and one of the best ice creams in KC.

This is my second time checking out High hopes. I tried their famous hot chocolate (hot cocoa)…read moreduring Holiday season. My friend loved it but I'm not a fan of hot chocolate in general. I decided to check out their ice creams this time and started with chocolate flavor. Chocolate ice cream was soooo creamy in texture and very rich in flavor. I loved every bit of it. :-) They also offer a wide variety of unique flavors including cinnamon honey, black sesame, and blueberry lemon cheesecake. I am more excited to try their "bourbon butter pecan" in my next visit to High hopes. High hopes don't look like your usual ice cream shop, they have a couple of tables outside and it doesn't help when it's cold and windy. Be prepared for it. Staffs are usually very good.

Not sure if this is common for the shop, but there weren't very many flavors available in the case. Maybe 10? Half of which were sorbet flavors, amazing for those who have a lactose sensitivity.

The attention to detail and decor in the space is very fun and thoughtful, with a photo booth and plenty of pictures of their offerings! There is also plenty of seating in the space, and it seems to be kept clean. My friends and I always make sure to get a bingsu and at least one other dessert, we especially love the taiyaki! I would definitely recommend sharing a bingsu, as it is pretty large to eat by yourself. Additionally, they have a wide array of offerings on the menu, and plenty from drinks to ice cream and other desserts.

I got the shaved ice cream here! Matcha flavor…read more First off I will say you should bring at least 1 other person here. Don't be like me and come alone! This is a huge portion of ice cream. You could probably split one among 4 people. It's also a cute place to hang out, pretty pastel and wood cozy interior. I really liked the shaved ice cream! The texture was light and fluffy and while it reminds me of bingsoo, it's creamier because it's cream instead of milk I think? Overall it ended up being quite rich, especially with all the whipped cream, and the matcha flavor is a little too sweet. Next time I'll probably try a fruity flavor (and bring friends). I think this place is worth trying at least once! Really unique ice cream that I haven't seen or tried elsewhere.

I am lactose intolerant and skeptical but wanted to stop by and see if they had any non-dairy options. I was ecstatic to find they had THREE and they were not just plain chocolate or vanilla!

My husband shared it with me because it was a LOT and we just had dinner and he said he couldn't even tell it wasn't dairy. The place is such a vibe, so clean and cute, and the two people taking and making orders were super friendly. We will definitely be back!!

Then go here and get something delicious Such a delight to discover this place. So much talent leading to so much deliciousness. Great bakery space - small, but bright and with many enticing options. The service is kind - the owners are nice. We are so lucky to have HAMU. As someone who fueled his early 20s with curry pastries and bao, HAMU is a revelation. It's not Mott St, it's heaven.

I went for the pistachio honey latte (I'm a sucker for pistachio!) and snagged the last veggie quiche of the morning around 11am. Both were absolutely delicious and perfect for breakfast. My friend had the rosewater croissant and a strawberry matcha iced latte--both equally unique and delightful. Despite being a bustling Saturday morning, the staff was incredibly kind and efficient. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, making it a cozy spot no matter the weather. For parking, I'd recommend Westport Road or 40th Street (west of Main) and taking a short walk. Preordering whole quiches, tarts, cookies, cupcakes may require 48 hours' notice. Enchanté is more than just a bakery--it's a little slice of magic in Kansas City. I can't wait to go back and try more seasonal goodies!
