    Chai latte with skim milk
    Jennifer M.

    Went to Aurora Cafe and Bakery with my work friends! I was not disappointed with my concha danish and hibiscus Arnold Palmer. Everything was delicious- not to sweet but sweet enough. This little cafe is so cute- not much seating but still cute and the service was impeccable as it was last time I came in!

    Look at this beauty. All pastries were amazing but the crème-brûlée with a sugary crunchy top was divine!! (Quiche not from Auroa)

    Carrot cake latte- best coffee flavor I have had in a while. It was slightly sweet and had notes of the coffee beans flowing through each sip. The pastries were amazing! Get there early if you want a seat.

    A small Mexican-style bakery located in the big business building on Metcalf and College. The muffin was delicious! The coffee wasn't my favorite but that doesn't mean it was bad. This was just my preference.

    A friend of mine had been gate keeping this place from me, lol. I stopped in later that morning and ordered a Salted Caramel creme brûlée conchita, UMMMM.......DO NOT WALK, RUN and get you one of these!!!! The salted caramel candy crust on the top and the sweetness of the fulling this is an amazing treat!!

    I'd tried a couple items from Aurora a while back when they were brand new and doing a pop up downtown Overland Park. I recently went to their location on College for the first time. Aurora is a husband and wife team. They make everything in house. The service is friendly and the bakery goods are delicious. The crème brûlée conchita is a must try as that is a unique item. The conchas all have flavored topping which is different than the typical Mexican bakeries I've been in the area. I also ordered a cold brew latte and the breakfast sandwich. That really hit the spot. The cold brew latte was great and the croissant was perfectly soft and flaky. The aioli really brought the sandwich up another level. I definitely recommend Aurora Bakery and look forward to returning!

    Daily selections- want them alllll!!!

    Obsessed!!! Five stars all around! Incredible, special different unique food served up in the cutest little shop by super nice, helpful knowledgeable staff. We met the owners who are so sweet and they're just so passionate about what they do, which you can tell by the incredible food they serve. This was my first experience eating a Concha (hope I'm spelling that right.) they have several to choose from and all 3 we got were beyond words delicious!! Check out all my pictures- I recommend everything highly. Can't wait to go back here! My financial advisor is in this office building, and honestly I can't wait for my next meeting with him so I can stop at Aurora on my way- it's on the first floor level.

    It took me way too long to get to @auroracafeandbakery in OP. It is rare that everything I order, I would order again....nothing was a miss with our order. We had the lemon concha, the crème brûlée concha, and the concha danish. All were very different but delicious. The crème brûlée is sweet, this would be a lot to eat alone but I understand why it is selling out every day. It has flavors you cannot get anywhere else. The lemon was refreshing and light and went perfect with my coffee. The danish was exactly what you think. It is dough and a sweet cream and some fruit perfect. As if that wasn't enough food, we also had the vegetarian croissant breakfast sandwich. The eggs and sun-dried tomatoes were great. My only note is that I would put chili crunch on it. They sell @jchang.kitchen chili crunch and it would be the perfect addition. Lastly, do not sleep on the chocolate chip cookie. It is so freaking good. It is soft and crispy all at the same time with great chocolate and salt on top.

    tl;dr Aurora is a fantastic place for conchas that are a cut above average with plenty of unique offerings and variations as well. I've had Aurora on my list since it opened and I'm so glad I finally went. 8 am on a weekday morning and everything was still in stock. It was easy to park as well. It's on the ground floor of the BoK building and to the left after you enter. Service was good and friendly. I had a fair amount of stock standard pan dulce as a kid because of all the panaderías where I lived, and this bakery made me realize I've never had conchas so good. The fancier conchas are more expensive and the prices can add up, but I would eat this instead of a donut any day. The bread itself is fluffy and soft, surprisingly hardly sweet. The crunchy topping is sweeter but for the plain concha not as sweet as you'd expect. Jamaica/hibiscus ($3.50): Sweet, tart, delicious. Rol de canela/cinnamon roll ($7.50): Minor gripe is the slightly grainy cream cheese frosting, but the cinnamon roll is delicious. Peach horchata cold foam latte ($7): If you like the level of sweetness of a Starbucks frappé, this is for you. I liked it. Crème brûlée ($5.50) with salted caramel (+$0.75): The hard sugar shell reminded me of kettle corn. Perfect for salty and sweet lovers (or caramel popcorn lovers). Limón/lime ($3.75): My personal favorite. I loved the subtle lime flavor.

    Oooomg this was insane. We were staying at a nearby hotel over the weekend and drove here for the vegetarian breakfast sandwich. The inside is so little and adorable, the staff was SO sweet and the food was absolutely delicious. The pastries were absolutely beautiful and I'll have to come back for those! I really really enjoyed the vegetarian breakfast sandwich.

    Oh wow! What a CUTE place!!!!! Service was fantastic, friendly and quick. Food was delicious and fresh and can't wait to try more on a next outing.

    Cinnamon roll

    This place is AMAZING! Everything was so delicious and doughy. Take the pan dulce to heart. My partner and I grabbed the cinnamon roll, the viral crepe brûlée concha, sprinkle concha, and danish. We only finished the cinnamon roll and crème brûlée in store. Can't wait to finish the other two! The cafe de olla is delicious and could be drank black (which as a coffee snob and lover of cream is crazy for me to say). The cold brew was also delicious. The owners are so amazing and have such a delicious business. The offerings of baked goods and sandwiches is so nice to have for options for everyone. The store was so welcoming and the quiet music in the background was the perfect volume. Highly recommend this bakery!

    I've been craving this one since I went. The bakery items are SO good. Located in the Darth Vader building, this bakery has got hot breakfast items and pastries that will make your eyes go all the way up in surprise on how good they are. I got the salted caramel injected pastry and the breakfast sandwich, along with a caramel latte. They don't have espresso so it was a cold brew coffee with flavoring, but it was still good. There are a lot of cute items to buy as well.

    Super cute! Everything is pink and it is located inside of an office building. Everything was clean and adorable (the croissant pillow!!). They have a different menu on saturdays so I didn't get to try what I wanted but the veggie breakfast sandwich was amazing! The croissant was super buttery and the aioli really made the whole thing pop with flavor. Their creme brûlée concha was delicious with a vanilla bean inside. I have to come back to try their coffee options as well as some other concha flavors. Staff was quick to get orders placed and out to you!

Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and our food came out quickly. I ordered a turkey club while my dad got one as well, and unfortunately we both had the same issue. The turkey was on the dry side, and it was sliced much thicker than I personally prefer. I tend to like a thinner deli-style sliced turkey, so it just wasn't my favorite sandwich. My mom ordered one of the salads though, and honestly it looked better than my sandwich. It was loaded with fresh toppings, and she said the ranch was excellent. If I come back, I'd probably skip the sandwich altogether and give one of the salads a try. Overall, I can definitely appreciate what they're going for. The prices are fantastic, honestly unheard of in present day, and that's the main reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 3. It's a true local spot, and I wouldn't mind giving it another chance to try something different from the menu.
