“I live out of state and found Ashleigh’s Bake Shop. They do a fantastic job of baking my parents favorite pies, which are sour cream raisin and lemon meringue. Highly highly recommend them!“

“Thank you so much for making the adorable cake pops and cupcakes for my daughter’s 3rd birthday party! They were not only beautiful, but absolutely delicious, and everyone loved them. They were a huge hit! Thank you for helping make her birthday such a sweet and memorable celebration!“

“I usually have bad experiences with restaurants and shops, but this place is a place to remember as the room feels like you're walking into heaven for cookies and more. AMAZING customer service and kept really clean inside and outside really makes you feel welcome. And the cookies are made just the way you order them. Makes me feel happy!“

“The owner is so nice! We got to sample a matcha drink, vanilla cake, shortbread and the cheddar/chive biscuits, all so good! Highly recommend.“

“Beyond impressed! My boyfriend's favorite dessert is a key lime pie. He has a son that has a gluten and dairy allergy and his one request for his birthday this year was a key lime pie that he could share with his son. That was not an easy task to locate. Even though it is not something they offer on their menu, Mud Pie Bakery was willing to do a special order for a gluten free, dairy free key lime pie and I must say, we were blown away! It was delicious! The crust was delicious, the filling was tangy, and the whipped topping was sweet and balanced everything else out! Not only that, but it looked beautiful! The best part is that my boyfriend's son got to enjoy a sweet treat that the rest of the family was having and that is something that rarely happens, due to his dietary restrictions! Thank you, Mud Pie, for doing this for us and for being so kind and accommodating!“

“After Fox and Bull's sourdough bread served as a key component for the best grilled cheese of my life this summer, when I grabbed some treats at the farmer's market in OP, I knew my life was about to change. The almond bear claw was an absolute delight, and the greatest challenge was eating it slowly and savoring it instead of inhaling it in one bite. And the chocolate chip croissant is so light and buttery and flaky, it might have been made by an actual angel. I seriously cannot recommend Fox and Bull enough.“

“Came back today to get chocolate chip cookies. Got big 4 chocolate chip cookies 2 chocolate chip brownies, 6 mini ones and then the lady told Us they made changes on their chocolate chip cookies this week Unfortunately I was not a fun of the new changes. I’m a little sad about it. I wish they bring back the old one 😭“

“Best Swiss chocolate truffles and quiche! (Still excellent)

I do notice a change in the attitude of the staff since about later 2025.

This may be because of any number of things. Around October 22 or 23 there were two bank robberies,first 1:30pm in Waldo area US bank Gregory Boulevard and Wornall Road-last one at 3:30pm a block away UMB Bank 49th & Main Street.

While the wait staff is excellent in a leisurely lunch, yet highly attentive; the sales staff are aggressive as soon as I am finished with the meal.
Even if I go to purchase a special treat not having a meal, and I want to shop. Also the price of chocolate treats were around $97.00 a pound for liquor chocolate truffles in February 2026!I don’t even look at the truffles anymore ( prices may fluctuate but I have noticed it’s unlikely prices go down).

I feel the sales staff rush customers to pay and leave.“

“the apple spice cake and vegan gravy made my holiday meal. thank you!!“

“Wow!! Such an incredible date night!! The warm sweet potato rolls were Perfection!! The old fashioned & the Strawberry bellini were delicious!! We ordered the duck & steak! Both grilled perfectly!! The duck had heirloom carrots with hazelnuts. The steak was served with beef fat potatoes! Seriously Delicious!! We took home a piece of the chocolate ganache cake. Can't wait to enjoy it later!! Everyone was so genuinely friendly & welcoming!!! This place is impeccably decorated!! It's Gorgeous!! Beautiful flowers too!! It's a truly a delight for all your senses!! Highly recommend!!

“McLain's is the best! We use them for catering at my office often and they are always quick to respond, reliable, and work well with our needs! And their food is the best! Highly recommend 😊“

“Everything about this location is so unique, beautiful and very tastefully done! I have never had anything from here that did not eclipse what you could imagine about pastries and coffee! 10 out of 10 recommend!“

“I normally make reviews in the Crumbl app (extra points!) but it wouldn't submit this time, I think because of my mistake, so I'm posting this here. I intended to order from this store but ordered from one at Johnson Drive & Metcalf by mistake. When I arrived the staff were friendly and solicitous, and apparently the stores are owned in common. They arranged for me to get my order right away where I was. Much appreciated!“

“Two years ago in October, my daughter had to go to a company in Overland Park for a course. We are from the Netherlands and have eaten a pie at the Upper Crust several times. Our favorite was the caramelized pecan apple pie. I still tell everyone who will listen about it. I would really love to have the recipe. Hopefully, I will get it someday so I can brag about it here in the Netherlands.“

“We ordered our wedding desserts and cake from Dolce Bakery and they were all incredibly delicious! We live out of town and we were a bit nervous to order the desserts without having the opportunity to taste everything beforehand, but thankfully the team at Dulce worked with us and gave us such great recommendations! Highly recommend them for your event or wedding!!“

“Great coffee, food and staff. Will definitely be back!“

“Stopped here for breakfast before leaving KC - so worth it! The cinnamon roll, gooey butter cake, and breakfast hash were delicious! This place was highly recommended and I can see why. The hot mocha latte I got was great too! The place was packed and busy but they weee FAST on getting food and drinks out.“

“Food is always delicious no matter what you get! Staff is friendly and helpful. Music is b-a-n-a-n-a-s, no notes“

“🎉 10 out of 10! Best pretzels in the KC area! 🥨“

“Coffee and bread is very delicious is one of my favorite places the only problem is that lately they start cleaning coffee makers very early and no longer serve. Today I went to 7:30 and they didn't want to attend to me anymore because they were already cleaning and are supposed to close at 9:30 that's very weird and unpleasant. They better change their opening hours and you know what time it's already closed.“

“Delicious grilled cheese with tomato soup. Super cute place!“

“lemon bars, lemon cake, lemon pie and lemon bundts!“

“Gwen was so amazing and such a beautiful kind spirit. We had been in the hospital with my dad whom is a veteran for almost a month and she was so kind listening to my mom.“

“As delicious as they are stunning, the danishes were not even the star of the show. Both of our sandwiches were off the charts good. I got the ham and pimento, and E got the turkey & manchego. Both are served on THE BEST ROSEMARY FOCACCIA EVER!“

“Absolutely phenomenal. Hands down the BEST cake we’ve ever had! Taylor crafted the most stunning 3-tiered wedding cake for our wedding in May. Tay was very communicative, prompt, and brought such creativity to our vision. Every single flavor (lemon curd, chantilly, marble, and classic almond) was an absolute hit! Since our wedding, we’ve had multiple family members and friends reach out to express how much they loved our wedding cake. We haven’t stopped thinking about it either and are anxiously counting down the days to our one-year anniversary to have that top tier! 301 days to go!“

“Amazing food and service!“

“Incredible King Cake! (Almond cream cheese) 5 Stars“

“Love the pineapple pastries !!!“

“Always a great spot to stop at, or go out of your way! They give you exactly what you want and with a smile! Love their tamales and fresh bread! Definitely a place to bring your family or friends!“

“Just tried the chile cheese sourdough. Very good! Also excited to see it's local. Keep up the good work!“

“Watch how much they charge you. I purchased 2 dozen and a half and was charged 82.00. Called and talked to owner and they did not make it right. i will NOT come back again. They rip you off.“

“Wowwwww! I have never had such amazing gluten free baked goods! My partner surprised me with a chocolate cake, chocolate cookies and chocolate chip cookie sandwiches that have amazing whipped filling! I know Jason went out of their way to help and I can’t thank them enough for helping make the surprise so perfect. You guys are an absolute gem and I am SO thankful for everything you did! 💕💕“

“Their iced snickerdoodle cookie was the best snickerdoodle I’ve ever had in my entire life! It was the perfect texture and taste and melted in my mouth! It was so huge too!“

“After finally stopping to try the Bahn Mi, it has become a weekly part of our diet! The food is incredible and so fresh. The pickled veg in the Bahn Mi is everything! The bread… omg. My favorite is the Special with extra pickled veg. Also anything with the Pate’. Steamed Pork Bun! The staff is so friendly and attentive! They also have coffee and pastries!“

“This place is the absolute definition of hidden gem. The rum cake was INCREDIBLE!!! Warming it in the oven took it from 10/10 to 20/10- a definite must! We also came home with some peaches, pasta and wine- all were delicious! Can’t wait to try a paella class and their private dinner!!“

“Delicious grilled cheese with tomato soup. Super cute place!“

“I stopped by Kolache Factory through Too Good To Go, so my experience wasn’t really the traditional “walk in and order” kind of visit. They were getting close to closing, but the staff was kind, the shop was clean, and they were totally cool with letting me hang out and eat even though they were winding things down. That goes a long way with me.

I ended up with a little bit of everything: bacon, egg & cheese, Ranchero, pepperoni pizza, chicken Florentine, cream cheese, and a cinnamon roll.

The chicken Florentine was my favorite. It tasted like the best kind of spinach dip—the kind that shows up at a party and suddenly you’re hovering over the bowl with a piece of bread in your hand, quietly hoping nobody else notices how much you’ve eaten. Creamy, savory, cheesy, with that spinach flavor coming through. It’s the kind of thing I’d happily keep to myself.

The pepperoni was LOADED. Super greasy, cheesy, messy in exactly the right way. I loved it.

The Ranchero had a good amount of spice without taking over, and the bacon, egg & cheese was exactly what it should be: a classic, familiar breakfast combination that just works.

And the pastries were spot on. The cinnamon roll reminded me of Cinnabon, which I mean as a compliment. Soft, sweet, gooey, and completely capable of making me forget I was supposed to be eating breakfast.

The whole place actually gave me airport terminal vibes. You know when you get to the airport ridiculously early, find your gate, and immediately decide, “Yep, this is where I live for the next hour and a half”? That was me. I found a spot, sat down, and settled in.

There’s a pretty big selection, too, with coffee drinks like lattes, cappuccinos, iced coffee and cold brew available to go with everything.

That’s probably what I like most about Kolache Factory: there’s a little something for everyone. Sweet, savory, breakfast, coffee. You can walk in with a group of people who all want something completely different and everyone can find something.

When I have guests in town, this feels like an easy morning stop that can please the whole crowd without making breakfast complicated.“

“My Daughter and I stopped here Jan 31, and Feb 6th both time we tried something new! Was so amazing!! A MUST go!!!“

“Great deli sandwhiches“

“Once again Connie’s did an amazing job getting our logo cookies made for us. They were a complete hit! Great service and wonderful cookies - highly recommend!“

“So pleased with our order! I reached out to MiKayla with some inspo and she took it and ran with it. The cookies turned out so cute and creative! Will 100% order from her again ❤️“

“I love the discount but sometimes the radio is a bit loud and playing music not everyone enjoys. Something a bit more mellow and suitable for a business. It would also be nice to be acknowledged before getting told my total.
I am the type of person that engages in conversation because it makes a person feel good. I also have a retail background and feel this is something companies should teach their employees. A smile and greeting goes a long way, along with a farewell.“

“Amazing place! The service was amazing! The coffee was amazing! The croissant was AMAZING! and I could not forget my loaf of sourdough bread. I can’t wait to go back!“
