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.

Chai latte with skim milk

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!

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!

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.

For the first time ever I used McLain's for catering and I'm officially bumping my review from 4 to…read more5 stars because honestly they did such a spectacular job at such a reasonable price I'm already wishing I had another excuse to order from them again! A few months ago my sister and I hosted a baby shower for our other sister and after looking around an options we decided to go with McLains. It was a smaller group, and we were doing a brunch theme, and our sister LOVES sweets. That paired with our desire to support local, and our shared love of McLains, this was just the most obvious choice. We ended up ordering a cake and first of all I have to say their cake flavor choices are insane - I think we settled on a chocolate cake with peanut butter filling (YUM), but I don't think you can go wrong here. We also ordered one of their pre-set pastry bundles for pick up and honestly everything was wonderful. I think I placed the order about a week out and it was ready when I came to pick it up. What pushed this experience into five star category for me? Just the friendliness of the staff, the serving tools they send you home with, and how thoughtful everyone was. The food was also really just exactly what we needed and it was so good there were hardly any leftovers, I think the kids cleared us out by lunch! At any rate, if you're on the hunt for a great spot to support for your next brunch event consider McLains - they won't let you down!

Stopped into McLain's in Brookside for a quick pick-me-up and the iced dirty chai was exactly what…read moreI needed. Smooth, not too sweet, and the espresso gave it the perfect little punch. You can taste the spice but it doesn't overpower the drink. The barista was friendly and the space had good energy. Tables were full but not chaotic. Definitely a cute spot to work, read, or people-watch with your coffee. Would love a touch more boldness in the chai, but I'd absolutely order it again

Yellow Brick Bakery is such a gem! My husband and I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for a quick…read moresnack and were greeted warmly as soon as we walked in. Service was kind and patient as we picked out what we wanted - a butterscotch blondie bar for me, and a lemon curd hand pie for him. Both were so darn good! The blondie was absolutely to die for - delicious crust and toppings. I can't wait to try other items. Not only do they serve a variety of delicious baked goods, but their store also carries with other local products. I love the shop local mentality! The inside is nice and quiet, with seating available to enjoy your treat or visit with a friend. Definitely a must visit!

This women-owned business is a delightful from-scratch pastry haven!! A quiet and quaint store, I'm…read moresure they'll have what you desire--savory or sweet! They have a special or limited edition **St. Patrick's Day Menu** (now until at least St. Patrick's Day and maybe through Saturday). I didn't see this menu online and if it was listed at the store, I overlooked it. That being said though, I called for a list and they happily obliged! **SPD MENU** * Guinness Cake (small) * Bailey's Irish Cream Sugar Cookie * Shamrock Shake Cupcake * Bailey's Irish Cream Cheesecake (small) * Grasshopper Pie * Lucky Charms cereal bar * Mint Brownie * Irish Soda Bread Loaf (sans raisins) * Irish Soda Scone (with Blood Orange Marmalade) * Corned Beef Hand Pie I chatted with the owner and sadly, she said due to changes with their schedules, they will not be at the Lenexa Farmers Market. Good news is they're only moments away via the highway! Go shop local and support a woman owned store in the process!
