25 Best Cafes in Overland Park

“I didn't know what to expect coming here but it was great. I learned to play Reign of Cthulhu and Exploding Kittens while having the best loaded nachos.“

“We looooove the Inspired Play Cafe! My daughter is only 9 months & she had so much room to crawl around and explore. We bought the membership on the first day & will be making the 45 minute drive to come & play as much as we can each week!“

“The name threw us off a bit. I thought it was a like a tea version of starbucks. The tea is really good. My Daughter is raving about the mint lemonade. Their food, is incredible. Best butter chicken I have ever had. Even their american offerings like chicken tenders and fries are absolutely perfect. My family of 6 went out there and tried a little bit of everything on the menu. I don't know how they can have such an expansive menu, yet nail every dish. 10/10“

“They have absolutely Delicious desserts“

“I ordered a scamble bowl to-go, & let me tell you: this was one of the best to-go breakfast order's I've ever had. The ingredients were fresh, layers of flavor & clean ingredients. I appreciate the chef & will be coming here more often! 10/10“

“I misread the menu item “seasonal SIGNATURE LATTE” and asked for a turtle latte. In my defense, “-TURE LATTE” looked like turtle and I was tired. They still made a turtle latte, but the signature part was a nice touch. This beautiful foamy artwork was hidden under the coffee lid. Definitely coming back. 😂 Good coffee too.“

“Tasty Boba, Taro, and Milk Tea, as well as Thai Coffee and Fresh Fruit in Mango and Strawberry. The best place to stop in and grab a refreshment when visiting the Oak Park Mall.“

“Had a great breakfast this morning. I highly recommend Flapjacks 'n more.....This was the new Shawnee, Ks location“

“Get in line online is a great feature. The wait was only a minute or two. We came for breakfast and the restaurant was nearly full. However, the staff were friendly and attentive. Our food was served quickly. Everything was delicious and looked very appealing. We enjoyed the food and the presentation. The atmosphere was great, quiet and relaxed with a sense of calm and happy guests.“

“In from Russell, KS & had the most amazing omelet & potatoes!!! … topped it off with a mimosa!!! … great way to start a day!!!“

“First time there, absolutely fantastic! Gorgeous looking plates of delicious food.“

“The food was amazing. The cinnamon rolls and French toast were delicious! They had a great variety of breakfast and lunch items. Not to mention the homemade breads. I would highly recommend The Wooden Spoon if you’re looking for some good food!“

“Kylie was amazing!!! I've been to this restaurant before and have always loved the food and service but Kylie was super fun! And super chill after I poured water all over myself on accident. She had excellent timing and even when the eggs didn't come out right she immediately remedied the situation. I'm sure her competition, Sam, is a wonderful server as well, however we are team Kylie! Boo Sam. Yay Kylie!!
(I do not know either of these servers personally 😂)“

“Great service and food. Will make it on our food rotation. Happy to support local businesses“

“Every bite is delicious and freshness!🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“love panera. always great food and awesome customer service.“

“A great place for a leisurely lunch.“

“5/20/2025 Parisi is very clean and modern, with a service counter that wraps around the baristas while they work. Everyone seems happy to be there and they were very friendly. I appreciate that they have ceramic “for here” mugs to use on-site, rather than only having disposables

The staff make this place! They’re lovely and inventive, and their passion shows through in the coffee. Sam made me a specialty latte, and it came out quickly and with a pretty design on top. Because I came when it wasn’t too busy, Koda and Ernesto had time to chat with me while I waited :)“

“Went here for a family breakfast. FW had no problem accommodating a dozen people plus a baby. Service was timely, and the menu had enough variety that everyone was happy and found something they were pleased with.

Dietary restrictions: There are gluten free items available“

“They are very accommodating, the price is right , cute place . I recommend grapefruit green tea with black pearl , it’s so good ❤️“

“Thanks for going above and beyond today to fix my order! My to-go soup was wrong, and you drove to my house to bring me the correct one! Thank YOU so much! I wasn't expecting that level of service, love your soup even more now!“

“This is my fave Panera! It's immaculate & friendly with great service & fantastic food! The proactive manager is always on top of things.
I was stunned by reviews complaining about the staff. Yes, there are some ESL staff members. But they're perpetually cheerful and work incredibly hard to make everything perfect. And they appreciate a simple "Hola!"
Good job, Panera!“

“I have been eating here for years and food and service is usually very good. I am never sure of their new hours since Covid. However, I was told by the front-line lady that because it was 15 minutes before closing I had to place my order to go. There were people there, still eating. Were they going to be asked to leave at closing? In the past I was never denied dine-in service.“

“After a long and challenging day your sweet cashier in the drive thru served me with a smile and the first person who was nice to me after a long day. I watched her check my bag and when it didn't have the two extra sauces I requested she made sure to get them for me before I even asked. Great service every time! Thank you!“
