We received excellent hospitality during brunch—it was such a pleasure meeting Chef Tyler. Everything was fantastic—the food (shrimp Alfredo) and shrimp and grits), the drinks (Blood Orange Paloma), and the vibe! Melissa was an exceptional server—she showed up right on time and was attentive, even clearing empty drink glasses promptly, which you don’t see often anymore.

This was the best Mac N cheese any of us have ever had in our LIVES. The cuban sandwich was also perfection, the fries amazing and everyone loved the Buttermilk pancakes and biscuits with gravy and a Hummus appetizer (we often share family style ) The staff was so gracious letting us dine 15 minutes before closing and the decor inside was lovely and just had a wonderful calm ambience.

Nice brunch cafe at the heart of the Plaza in Kansas City. Loved the ambience, and service. The food is really good and the popularity of this place can be seen from the large crowds waiting to get in. We did not make reservations but were able to be seated and served very quickly. Highly recommend.

What a cute cafe! The coffee was delicious, the food was even better. I got the Pacific Northwest Benedict and it was soooo good! The poached eggs was so perfect. The potatoes were seasoned well too :)) My boyfriend got the Smoked Brisket Hash and tbh I wish I got his! He really liked all of it, he cleared his plate. Next time we come here I'm definitely will get that. We sat outside and it was super comfortable. They have umbrellas in case its too sunny. They were very consistent with keeping our cups of water and coffee full :)) Thank you for the great service!

Overall, I was very pleased with 99% of our meal. Came in today for Easter since they had availability, and the service was great. We tried the biscuits and gravy, brisket hash, colossal cinnamon roll, and a variety of their coffee options. Everything was great, and my only complaint was the bloody mary sauce on the brisket hash (atrocious). Excited to return in the future to try other things, as most of their menu looks delicious!

One of my favorite places I've visited in a long time! The service was quick, thorough, and with a big smile (thanks George, you were fantastic!) And the food was all delicious. I'm actually glad I don't live close cause I couldn't afford to eat there all the time. I will come back if I am visiting though, for sure!

Charming restaurant with excellent food and service. There is outside or inside seating and it’s located in the heart of Country Club Plaza steps away from great shopping, hotels, bars, restaurants and the beautiful Fountain in Mill Creek Park. We have enjoyed breakfast here on numerous occasions and it’s definitely our go to for brunch. Food ranges from fresh fruit, baked goods, waffles all the way to hearty burgers, salmon and more! Reasonable price, fast, family friendly service and the food is delicious. Highly recommend checking out this cafe!

Wow the seasonal stuffed French toast was so good and filling. The pumpkin syrup was great and a good fall addition. Even in a big group they refilled out coffees and waters full every time.
