This place is truly amazing…read more One day my girlfriend and I entered this store and we were greeted by very friendly baristas. I haven't always been a big coffee drinker, but my girlfriend said there used to be a drink called the Hospital Hill. It's essentially the Honeycomb with Cinnamon. Ever since that day, I've been hooked (I prefer it made hot. Absolute game changer). Not only is the coffee good, but the staff is friendly, personable, and helpful which means a lot to me. There's a lot of staff to name, so I'll leave it off this review, but they have all been exemplary and I believe they make this place great. I highly suggest coming here and grabbing yourself a coffee. It's also a nice and relaxing environment to study or do homework. The lighting is dark enough that it's not interfering too much with whatever activity you're doing in the moment. I will definitely be returning here.

This was a birthday treat to myself of gingerbread latte, which was yummy, and a chocolate…read morecroissant, which was pathetic. The amount I paid for the croissant and how large it appeared, you'd think it was filled with chocolatey goodness--it was disappointing to say the least, to find there were two measly strips inside; hardly worth the $5.75 I paid. The fact it came in an Ibis Bakery bag made me even more sad, thinking a reputable bakery would have lived up to its status. However, it's possible Ibis Bakery no longer has standards--so this part of a negative review is for them. Two stars for the pastry. :( The Roasterie Cafe in Leawood, however, was great! The coffee was delicious and the baristas were amazing. They helped me pick a new whole bean coffee and were friendly. As this was a grab and go effort, the place was busy, but I didn't stay, so as to the ambiance, about what you'd expect from a small cafe. Quaint but kind of packed. :)

After several visits over the years, I've only had their coffee and pastries, not their cafe food. The interior is cute and there's often a queue upon entering to order at the counter, but don't let that intimidate you because it moves fast. I recommend getting some of their water on tap (both still and sparkling water are available) if you have to wait! If you're queer like me, you'll likely be drinking a cold black coffee and they have options! They have a regular cold brew in 3 sizes, a cold brew of the moment / seasonal (ask about it!) and a cold brew shandy for something different. My partner and I got two different cold brews on tap today, the original and the Seasonal Single Origin Honduran one. The single origin Honduran was better, but their original was good too. There's a lot of seating, but it's usually taken up, so I tend to just take my coffee to go. Expect to walk out for around $6ish a cup. They clearly care about providing you a good experience with a strong cup of coffee. Give them a shot if you're in downtown Overland Park!

A father and daughter duo next to me showed up in a dandy double breasted suit and a princess dress. I wish the food was as good as the vibe. The coffee, while decent, was lukewarm and the scone I got was stale and dry, coming close to inedible. This, at a cost of nearly $11 after tax. It's near terrible food definitely doesn't stop people from coming in, again, you are in one of the nicest areas of downtown OP and have limited coffee competition, so I guess food quality isn't your number one concern.

Inspired Play Cafe always has nicer wooden Montessori type of toys and learning games. I have typically gone to the Merriam location as it is closer but they are just going to have this location remain open. The owner is very nice and welcoming and she is updating and always rotating items for it to remain fresh for clients. They also have new and cheaper monthly fee which is a great deal. It is a nice atmosphere but they do need to remember to keep the music playlist playing as it is nice to relax to. The only reason I gave this location a 4 was because when I first entered the play area it was a complete disaster. There were only 2 parents at the time but they never picked up after their kids and it was hard to find matching toy items as they were everywhere. This is not typical of the Merriam location so it's probably just an issue today. They might want to suggest to parents to pick up after their child once they leave a specific area. I ended up picking the place up because the parents left and then it was more obvious to my grandson and other kids that came what toys there were available in each area.

The rolls were good looking and ready when we got there. They normally serve sandwiches and soups but because it was before the holiday, they weren't offering it. They did have several pastries and other goodies so we got a few to try. The service was good and everyone was helpful. The interior wasn't huge but they do have some seating. The rolls were good. They were pretty large and were a bit dense. I like all bread so no complaints from me. My boyfriend felt they'd be better suited for making a leftover turkey thanksgiving sandwich. Either way, they were good. We snagged a lemon bar and a cherry pie crumble bar. The crust on both was pretty thick. They both had good flavor but I found myself wishing for a bit more fruit filling on both but especially the lemon bar. The cherry pie bar was my favorite between the two but both were delicious. I'll definitely be back and I hope to try a few of their other offerings.

I also had a decaf iced latte, which was tasty. Both my mom and I agreed that the food was good and richly flavored. The employee who served us was both nice and knowledgeable, answering any questions we had about food options we weren't familiar with in easy to understand, succinct terms. When I went (mid afternoon on a Tuesday) it was pretty quiet, with one employee in the front and a couple of other patrons seated. There was some pop music in the background on low volume, which I appreciated. Overall the vibe at that time of day on a weekday was very calm. I'm interested in checking out their karaoke, live music, and tea time nights/events in the future. They definitely look like fun ways to spend some time! Ultimately, if you're looking for good, casual European fare, including Eastern European, or even if you're just curious, I absolutely recommend European Market and Cafe.

I want to come back and try every single menu item! The grocery part is expensive but that's not so surprising considering the tariff situation, and I'm happy to support them. The vibes in here need some work- it's cold (I was gonna dine in and then changed my order to take out and eat in my sun warmed car). The music is bad American alternative (wrong vibes for the European Café and Market). The lights are fluorescent (ouchie on the eyes). Could use a cozier vibe. But a perfect stop to grab picnic items before heading out!

Now…read morethat we've cleared that up, let's get to the meat and potatoes -- or in this case, chicken and rice. (Don't worry, we'll circle back to the actual meat and potatoes later.) I ordered a large Mango Lassi. It was delicious -- creamy, sweet, and refreshing -- but calling it "large" might be a slight exaggeration. Still, flavor-wise, no complaints. The real reason I chose this restaurant was the Chicken Rice Platter, and to say it delivered would be an understatement. There's a spot in Houston I used to visit just for this exact dish, and this version absolutely blew it out of the park. A solid 10/10. The chicken tasted like it was rotisserie-style, with a beautifully seasoned crust on the outside and juicy, tender white meat inside. It's served over fragrant yellow rice, topped with a rich white sauce, and paired with a fresh cucumber salad on the side. Hands down, my favorite dish of the night. Next up was the Beef Nihari, served with naan and yellow rice, along with the Karachi Chicken Biryani. The Beef Nihari is a thick, deeply seasoned beef stew with generous chunks of fall-apart tender meat. It's hearty, comforting, and packed with flavor. The warm, fluffy, pillowy naan was perfect for soaking up that rich broth. Paired with yellow rice, it makes for a seriously satisfying meal. (Side note: it is oily -- which is traditional and expected -- just a friendly heads up.) The Karachi Chicken Biryani was beautifully spiced, aromatic, and fluffy. Tender chicken thighs and drumsticks were nestled into the rice alongside hearty chunks of potato -- told you we'd get to the meat and potatoes. It has a noticeable kick, but nothing overwhelming. Just bold, well-balanced spice. To finish, I had a large Lemon Mint Virgin Mojito. Extremely refreshing -- crisp citrus and minty cool -- but again, "European large" might be the more accurate description. I placed this as a carry-out order and made the commute to pick it up. The restaurant is located in Overland Park in an area that seems to have several similar establishments, at least from my perspective. Once inside the double doors, you're welcomed into a fairly modern dining space with seating for couples and larger groups, plus a private dining area. There appeared to be a buffet set up -- possibly for Iftar -- which is a thoughtful and convenient touch. I also appreciated the designated prayer area, which was a wonderful detail to see. The host was friendly, and my food was ready in a timely manner. Overall, I was genuinely impressed. Flavor, atmosphere, hospitality -- all on point. Definitely check it out for yourself.

The food was delicious across the board, but some favorites were the brand-new Mandi (a huge, shareable dish packed with flavor), their tacos with a fun twist (paneer, beef, and chicken--all winners), the Butter Chicken Wrap (a must-try for butter chicken fans), and the refreshing Dahi Puri. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. This place is definitely worth checking out, and I'm already excited to come back and try more from their menu.

I ordered the #3 which came with french toast and my husband ordered the #1 which came with flapjacks. We loved that the specials came with a little cup of orange juice alongside the meal, which was a nice touch. Everything we tried was delicious, and we left impressed.
