    Blueberry muffin
    Kelli H.

    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!!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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
    Maggie H.

    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.

    Veggie breakfast sandwich
    Izabella S.

    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!

    chocolate chip cookie
    Maddy R.

    This is such a unique and fun find!! It is hidden inside an office building on the first floor. If you go through the main doors of the building, then take a left you will see the entrance. inside they have a counter of bakery items, a kitchen, seating, and a little area to shop at. All of the bakery items looked delicious! I got the chocolate chip cookie with sea salt on top and it was 10/10. to drink i ordered the peach horchata latte which was also outstanding! i think that is what they are most known for! The breakfast sandwich was another thing that tasted great. The staff was friendly and told me that a bunch of people came in this week due to a viral video on tiktok! I highly recommend trying this hidden gem and tasting some or all of their pastries

    Chocolate, Guava, crème brûlée, and sprinkled Concha.

    My friend and I met for Happy Hour at Whole Harvest Kitchen, and we had a MARVELOUS time!…read moreOur server was Sofhia V, and she was the soul of hospitality. When we told her it was our first visit to the restaurant, she took the time to carefully go over the menus with us (regular, happy hour, and drinks), providing her recommendations when we asked. Her guidance was spot-on-target! For drinks, I had a Mindful Chai and my friend had the 3-Beverage Flight (Golden Hour, Heart Says Thanks, and Tres Raices). My chai was the BEST I have ever tasted (and I order chai every chance I get!), and my friend loved her 3 drinks (she said Tres Raices was her favorite). For our food, we split an order of the Not Queso Dip and the Avocado Tostadas. We were both very impressed by how fresh the ingredients were, and the blend of flavors in each dish that created a unique and yummy taste. The Kitchen has an open, airy layout that inspires deep breathing, while the arrangement and spacing of tables still provides for intimacy of conversation and minimal ambient noise. Sofhia checked back with us several times during our meal to ensure we had everything we needed and were thoroughly enjoying our food and drink (we were!). It was a delightful meal, and we thank Sofhia, the kitchen staff, and everyone at Whole Harvest Kitchen for such a lovely time. We'll be back!!

Choose 2: soup & salad combo was sound decision. Mediterranean salad which had fresh ingredients and a nice lemon tahini dressing along with a bowl of chefs choice. The hibiscus oasis was very refreshing. The restaurant had a light open layout, wooden table & chairs, modern aesthetic.

    Update: Stopped by after my mom's physical therapy--she'd been craving chicken gyro meat, and…read morepost-COVID this is basically the only spot in the greater OP area that still does it. Kudos! Chicken Gyro (no tzatziki) - Large, well-grilled pita with tomatoes. Simple and solid--this is why we came. It delivered for her--she was in a full-on food coma after. (4/5) Beef/Lamb Gyro - Enormous--one of the biggest I've had. Nice grilled crust on the pita, tasty meat. (4/5) Wish it came with diced onions, and the tomatoes were diced instead of sliced. Tzatziki is a bit thinner and slightly off from what I'm used to. But on mine, there was some on the sandwich and a side--hadn't seen that before. It actually worked well, kept the meat moist--without making it mushy--and let me add more as needed. Added sambal for heat, which helped. Kebab Platter - Mixed bag. Steak kebab was solid (medium rare), minced kebab was decent (in between), chicken was just okay. Rice was very dry--I think I noticed some sumac on top, but either way it didn't help. The salad was excellent--fresh with a lot of pop. Not something I'd order again, but if I did, I'd eat the salad with the rice and kebabs instead of starting with it. It adds the moisture and pop the rest of the plate is missing. That said, each component should stand on its own. (3/5) Overall: 4/5 Gyros carry. Salad and steak kebab were nice, but the platter didn't land. I'd stick to gyros or just do a steak kebab plate next time.

    Quite an unassuming place. Decent food with good service. Not a bad choice for mediterranean food…read more The stuffed grape leaves were easily the worst part of my experience. Cold dolmas can be wonderful but not when they're essentially frozen. The grape leaves were so cold that the bed of half-wilted lettuce underneath turned into ice! Not to mention the thin, tiny size of them! Unfortunately, these were some of the worst stuffed grape leaves I've had. On the other hand, the chicken kabob wrap was excellent! I loved the pairing of the sauces as well. Great taste, nice presentation -- this item carried the experience. I definitely recommend this dish. Food: 3.5/5 Price: 4/5 Experience: 4/5

    Okay Modern Market, I see you…read more I was on the hunt for a healthy-ish spot for lunch (I mean, hello it is January), when I came upon Modern Market Eatery on Yelp. Upon doing some research I learned it's a scratch kitchen specializing in clean eats, and that it's a chain. A win for the health options, a ding for the chain, but not all chains are bad, an we are living in a time where there are some winners. So, I packed myself up and headed down the road to Prairie Village. It's still fairly new, and it has that squeaky clean feeling to it when you arrive. Inside it's counter service and you seat yourself (they will bring the food to you). It kind of reminded me of how Noodles and Company felt when they first became a thing way back in the early 2000s. I ordered a thai salad that came in at under 400 calories so I was honestly skeptical at how big or flavorful it would really be when it arrived, and holy cow was it good. The chicken was cold, but still held some flavor, the dressing was great, there were fresh veggies, pickled onions. It was one of the best 400 calorie meals I've had in a long time. My dad ordered the salmon curry and he also enjoyed his though I didn't try it so jury's out on my opinion! I left full and happy to have discovered this spot. I'll be back soon!

The sauce that was on my sandwich was different than the picture online. I did get my order through Uber Eats. The veggies were very fresh and crispy on the sandwich. The fire roasted veggies were not seasoned except for a bit of turmeric but it didn't really have a taste. Overall the food was good and very fresh but the price was a bit high.
