I went in for Sunday Brunch with my family a few weeks back. I had heard good things. I had the trout plate. It was excellent. Great flavors. Well prepared. Fresh and delicious. I ama trout snob, and was pleasantly surprised that they did it so well. The baguette on the side was delightful. I also tried the waffles. It is not easy to make a great gluten free baguette or waffle. But they did it! Had I not know they were gluten free, I would never have suspected it. Everything else we ordered was also praiseworthy. The restaurant was pretty full of people, but still quite comfortable. My only complaint is that the room is very loud. I am not sure if loud restaurants is a “thing”, but it is not my thing. The building they are in is a beauty. It has the decorative tile exterior which is really nice to see. The inside space is open and clear and feels great. I need to go back some time for a bread making class. That would be fun. I definitely recommend eating here!

The food is excellent, but not very timely. I went in at 4:40 on a week day and it wasn’t busy, and it took 20 minutes for them to make my smoothie. All I ordered was a smoothie.

This place isn't really my vibe and I thought some of the workers were lowkey rude. But the food was really good. They have a huge selection for gluten free.

Yes! Run don't walk to Billies Grocery! Not a grocery store, yummy healthy breakfast and lunch options.

Love this place for breakfast when visiting KC, just wished we had one in my home town.

Had the carnitas burrito and it was delicious, coffee was great too. The pastries looked amazing, they were flying off the shelves so they must be very good. Great ambiance and quick service, it is self seating but had no issue finding a spot. Definitely coming back to load up on pastries.

This place has been on my bucket list for a while and I finally made time to try this place out and see what it’s all about! The desserts were overflowing! I ordered the poke bowl, the Majik amino-ade and the gluten free cheesecake! It was hard to make any decisions in this place but that just means I’ll have to make multiple trips back! It’s a unique spot in Kansas City! Everyone should visit this place at least once!

I have been to Billies Grocery before several times as I am a KC native and have always had a good experience with the food, service and sweet treats. I went today with my parents in celebration of my 24th birthday just for a casual lunch. I got the harrissa chicken club w/ fries which was delish!

Now, I want to preface the following by saying I have had a severe nut allergy my whole life so I am very aware for potential allergens at all times. The food menu at Billies Grocery, as well as the cases for the desserts are difficult to navigate as someone with a nut allergy. Billies Grocery caters heavily toward gluten and dairy free allergies which is all great and fine with nearly every food item in the establishment labeled accordingly. There is a severe lack of continuity in regards to nut allergies. The only way to know if an item has nuts of any kind in it is if its listed in the name of the item (i.e. walnut brownie). There is zero indication if the carrot cake slice has nuts in it for example. As I was browsing the case I had to not choose the regular brownie because they are stored in contact with the walnut brownie. I ultimately chose the cookie dough bar. I do recognize that as the individual with the allergy it is my responsibility to ask if an item contains my allergen, and unfortunately I did not in this case due to carefully attempting to choose an item that logically appeared to not have nuts in it. Ultimately the cookie dough bar did actually have almond flour and cashews in it, and I found this out after taking two small bites and then going into anaphylactic shock. I am okay, and by no means am I upset or blaming Billies Grocery when I indeed should have asked but I want other patrons to be aware of the lack of clarity on Billies Grocery menu.

Billies Grocery does have a comprehensive list of items ingredients to check for allergens upon request which my mom did personally in regards to the blueberry oatmeal bar that she got to share. She later checked the cookie dough bar so we could know what caused such a severe reaction. (See attached)

All this to say, Billies Grocery should take it into consideration to label their menu and food items with a 'contains nuts' symbol just as they do for gluten and dairy free. Their employees should be more educated on what items contain allergens so a disorganized folder of item ingredients doesn't need to be consulted. A small sign on the desserts case stating 'items may contain or come into contact with nuts' is not sufficient.
