    Wow! Run, don't walk to get some amazing treats at Burek & Cake! I got a mix of desserts and they were all phenomenal. The women in the shop were very kind and helped pick out some great stuff! I wasn't able to get the baklava cheesecake but I will definitely be back to grab a piece.

    Lovely selection of cakes! This lasted a week in a two-person household.

    I've known about Burek and Cake for several months now, but only tried them out for the first time last month ahead of a snow storm. The cafe is located in Avondale, tucked into a neighborhood behind NKC Hospital and the Cerner campus off of Armour Rd. I bought a bunch of their cakes for half price since they were closing early due to the weather. Every cake was delicious! My family nibbled on them for a week and they were just as tasty on day five as on day one. I want to return to try more of their Bosnian delicacies, and I will definitely be back for more cake! My favorites were a sugar/honey soaked flat cake that tasted like it may have been made with almond meal, and a meringue-topped cream cake. This was a huge surprise to me because I've always hated meringue! I don't like pavlova or macarons, but I loved this cake. They had another coated in coconut that looked like an Australian lamination that was good. I was able to pick up several different gluten-free cakes for my sister who has celiac, so that was another unexpected surprise. Definitely try the out if you're in the NKC area.

    What a hidden gem of a sweet place! My hubby surprised me by stopping here when we were running errands because he knows how much I love baked goods and desserts. I kind of got more than I should have, but I couldn't stop myself. Everything in the bakery cases looked amazing. I wish we hadn't just eaten lunch so I could have chosen a savory item. Next time, I'm eating lunch here! I loved the lady finger like cake soaked in sweetness with coconut sprinkled on top. It was the best. But then the pavlova roll was incredible. I've already decided that for my birthday cake this year, I want pavlova from here. Also, the baklava cheesecake was scrumptious. You can't go wrong selecting anything here. All of the items were made from scratch. They were sweet, but not overly so. That's what I loved most about everything I ate. I didn't get a gut ache from the sugar. It was very well balanced. Go here and support this hard working baker! Her food is amazing. And I have to say it is very, very affordable especially for the high quality! I'll definitely be back.

    Had to get two of each kind. Potato, meat, cheese, and cheese with spinach. DELICIOUS

    The Burek is very authentic. Last time I had Burek like this was in Croatia! The Burek comes with either potato, meat, cheese, or cheese and spinach. You can see the staff making fresh Burek right in front of you. It's a small cozy bakery worth a visit!

    Delicious! So many beautiful things to choose from. So happy to have found this cute little spot!!

    I had been wanting to check out this place for a while, and when I happened to be nearby just a few days before a good friend's birthday, it seemed like fate. Everyone was friendly and the gal helping me behind the counter was great. I got a little of everything for my friend, and some baklava for me. I got both a traditional baklava and a coconut one. Definitely some of the best baklava I've had in a LONG time. Very flavorful, delicate and crunchy while oozing honey, and not dry at all. The biggest surprise was the coconut baklava- I think it's hands down my new favorite!

    According to my Yelp desk calendar; today 10/14/23 is National Dessert Day, so I checked my Bookmarks and headed over to Burek and Cake, a Bosnian Bakery that has been on my to do list for a few months. Burek and Cake is in a tiny building in a remote section of Kansas City North a few blocks from the small village of Avondale; definitely out of way and secluded. My wait behind 3 customers was considerable because each person was asking questions of the multiple products and raking up sizable orders. The most annoying thing was a customer walking away with all 8 hot Bureks in the display case. When my time came, I ordered 7 different sweets for a $13 tab. I was told that more Bureks would be out of the oven in 8 minutes, so I took some time to shop at the European grocery store next door. When I returned the cheese filled Bureks were coming out of the oven. I devoured it as soon as I returned to my vehicle - a crisp yet flaky texture - pretzel like, yet not doughy. Wonderful. I'd love to return and try the meat filled ones. The sweet pastries I have been sampling throughout the day have all been excellent. With the Cheesecake Baklava and the Hermasice being the standouts. The Bosnian owner/chef is very kind and the counter lady was very helpful. The Burek was $5 and sweets were $1 - $4 each. Very eager for a return.

    This little bakery is so wonderful. The different flavors of tiramisu were amazing. I loved the cheesecake baklava. If you're close by when she's open for sure stop in!

    There is ground sausage inside.

What appears to be a mom and pop bakery is actually a baker who has carefully done his research and brings himself up to date on the latest trends of flavor in the baking world. The vibes are amazing - I especially love the art piece on the wall he commissioned from a local artist. I saw the Instagram page with several posts explaining how he did each part. Everything was absolutely delicious (I am biased with the ham and gruyere cheese since that is a favorite combo of mine), the danish was delicious (I could tell maybe it uses veryberryosa - a recent trend in baking to be used as filling), and the same was probably on the cinnamon roll looking crossaint. Now the grand prize - the mochi donuts were spectacular. The flavors I got were raspberry almond (my #1 favorite I got twice), cereal (this was carefully curated and not too sweet like most cereal based baked goods), Irish coffee (didn't taste like coffee, gave it to a friend) and the mango black tea was also a slam dunk for me. The staff are incredibly friendly here which is a huge plus!

    In the storied enclave of Waldo, where the rhythm of Kansas City pulses with a quiet, neighborly…read morecharm, there stands a sanctuary not of silent stone, but of flour, butter, and memory: McLain's Bakery. To step through its threshold is to surrender to the siren song of warmth that curls from the oven like a whispered secret. I have made it my pilgrimage to traverse the entirety of their menu, a culinary odyssey that has yielded no false steps, only a symphony of consistency that borders on the miraculous. Each offering, from the flaky, golden architecture of their pastries to the robust, honest comfort of their savory fare, is a testament to the artisan's hand. Here, affordability is not a sacrifice of quality but a generous invitation, a rare confluence where the exquisite meets the accessible. There is a certain magic in the air at McLain's, a sweetness that feels woven into the very fabric of the establishment. It is a place that understands the language of comfort, speaking it fluently in the dialect of a perfect crust or the rich, dark notes of a expertly pulled espresso. It is perhaps no surprise that such a bastion of authentic delight has garnered a reputation that extends far beyond our local borders; if the standard of excellence is high enough to grace the plate of Taylor Swift, then surely, it is more than enough for us, the grateful residents who claim this treasure as our own. Yet, beyond the flour-dusted counters and the glowing glass cases, my deepest admiration is reserved for their spirit. In a world that often measures worth in cold, transactional metrics, McLain's chooses to honor those who pour themselves into the future of our community. As a teacher, I feel that recognition in the small gestures, the welcoming nods, and the genuine appreciation they extend to educators. It is a profound kindness, a recognition that the work of shaping minds requires nourishment, both intellectual and literal. They understand that a classroom is a marathon, and they act as the essential pit stop, providing the fuel that keeps the light of inquiry burning bright. To dine at McLain's is to participate in a ritual of belonging. It is a place where the passage of time is marked not by the ticking of a clock, but by the turning of the oven trays. It is a reliable heartbeat in the neighborhood, steadfast and true, offering a reprieve from the clamor of the outside world. Whether one seeks a quiet moment of reflection over a cup of coffee or a celebratory feast that honors the simple, profound joy of eating well, McLain's remains an unrivaled steward of taste. It is not merely a bakery; it is the living, breathing soul of Waldo, a place where every bite serves as a reminder that some things in this life are exactly as good as they ought to be.
