“I come here frequently after getting groceries, one lady remembers me now and knows exactly what I order. I tried something new and it was delicious, I went to reorder it today and I accidentally ordered a tea instead of a latte. I did not like the tea and they made me a new drink even though it was my fault. I love this little shop! The Brown Sugar Boba Latte is my favorite. It is a small shop in downtown, so there arent a lot of places to park, which is to be expected. Good thing I walk everywhere. :)“

“Hey Kansas City! If you were looking for breakfast, brunch, and hot coffee in Kansas City....Happy Gillis is the place to check out! This popular local breakfast gem is cute, quaint, and covered with beautiful plants. There are a few tables to sit at inside of the cafe to enjoy your meal. A lot of people will order their food to go and will take it to the nearby park to have a picnic when it is warm or they will take their meal back home to enjoy! If you order in person, there is a refillable coffee stand when you can keep your coffee cup warm and full. My favorite item to order is the class biscuits & gravy with a side of bacon. Unbelievable! There are a lot of fresh and tasty options on the Happy Gillis Cafe & Hangout menu. Stop by this little spot today!“

“The sea salt dusted mocha chip cookie is amazing. The cappuccino was equally good. My only “complaint” is, why ask me if my order is to go or here. When I answer, “I’m going to savor the cookie and coffee here”, please don’t put the cookie in a paper bag and the coffee in a paper cup. I feel like I’ve been given a doggie bag. I am a guest in your place of business, and I’ve come in to relax, recharge and enjoy some quiet time; instead I felt rushed, drained and overwhelmed by the loud music.“

“Best small(er) venue in Kansas city in years - in content and atmosphere. It's only improving upon itself as well. I love the location as well - utilizing a part of this city that is underserved. Definitely one of the gems of kansas city at the moment.Vegetarian options: there is no food that i am aware of... maybe snacks / dessert / coffeeDietary restrictions: Coffee and booze - I didn't see any food - maybe some food trucks will catch on and park by it.Parking: street parking is easily found as there isn't much going on besides Farewell and Howdy in the neighborhood.Kid-friendliness: You can bring under 21 people as long as they have a parent or "guardian" with them who is of age. The sister venue / art space a few doors down "Howdy" is all-ages all the time. They have water available to all.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs of any sort and easily accessible for handicapped individuals.“

Knocked off a star due to limited seating and when we ordered our coffee no one told us to wait at a counter (they deliver the rest of your food), so we ended up not getting that until we finally asked. When we did ask the server she just said oh they call your name (music plays loudly inside so no way you can hear unless you're right there) and leave it at the bar for you, and then she walked off.“

Their menu is so different than anything around here and sitting in the dining room feels like sitting in a French restaurant.They have a rotating chef's special, a great deal on their steak frites on Tuesdays, delicious French desserts (home made profiteroles, say WHAT?! yum. And don't even get me started on their mille feuille when that is around... absolutely fabulous).The wine selection is great, they have a non alc option that seemed interesting but I decided to go with their non alc cocktail which was delicious. Cocktail menu is solid, and they even carry my favorite beer, Duvel which is such a European staple and not always easy to find in the city.“

Not mad as we had dessert elsewhere but coming from an industry employee the last course in service should also be the last station to close in the kitchen. The meal itself was fantastic and everything i could have wanted which is why i was very disappointed i was able to try the dessert. Oysters were delicious, ribeye seasoned and cooked to perfection, bone marrow melts in your mouth, cauliflower that take your love for the veggie to another level. Craft cocktail menu is a true craft cocktail menu not like most other restaurants want to be craft menus.“

The food came out hot for a change. The gentleman at the front who I think was the manager was very pleasant and accommodating. They are still on probation with me, but I am willing to give them a few more tries to make sure this is the new norm. Ask for Dorothy--she is friendly, efficient and has some "server skills"“
