The hubs will try it later... We also got two little cakes, strawberry and chocolate. The strawberry was very good and the chocolate was ok. Love removing in the outside. We also got a little blueberry bar and it was yummy. Staff was not super friendly and prices are a bit high for the small sizes.

Wally's Pastry Shop holds a very special place in my heart. Wally was a good friend of my father,…read moreand that alone tells you the kind of man he was--kind, generous, and deeply rooted in his community. In 1991, Wally made my wedding cake as a gift, and it's something I will never forget. Not just because the cake was absolutely beautiful and delicious (it was!), but because it was made with love. That's what sets Wally's apart--you can feel the heart behind everything that comes out of that kitchen. The pastries are classic, fresh, and timeless. Nothing trendy or overdone--just perfectly executed desserts that remind you why bakeries like this matter. The flavors are authentic, the quality is consistent, and every bite feels like a tradition being honored. The addition of Gelato brings me straight back to Italy! Wally's isn't just a pastry shop; it's a piece of history, a reminder of a time when relationships mattered and food was made with care. I'm grateful for the memories, the kindness, and the incredible desserts that have been part of my life for decades. I miss hearing all of Wally's stories, as a pastry chef making hearts like Sinatra, and many Presidents happy! He loved what he did! If you're lucky enough to enjoy Wally's, know that you're tasting more than pastry--you're tasting legacy.

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.

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!

The pastry case is dangerous in the best way -- from rich, chocolate-covered eclairs to pillowy cinnamon rolls with generous icing.

Beyond the sweets, their breakfast sandwiches are fantastic -- fresh, satisfying, and perfect for starting the day right. And speaking of starting the day right, the coffee is solid and served in real mugs if you're planning to linger (which you'll want to). There's plenty of cozy window seating, making it a great spot for a relaxed morning meeting, catching up with a friend, or simply enjoying a quiet moment with something delicious. The staff is genuinely friendly and adds to the welcoming neighborhood feel.
