    We had a fun time at a happy hour. The cocktail was great - not too sweet. The burrata was delicious with a little kick. My friend got a piece of cheesecake and a coffee. She enjoyed both. It definitely seems like it's more appointed for breakfast/brunch but I'm glad I got to try it without a long wait on the weekend.

    Cue Lizzo "about damn time." It took me long enough to make my way over to Hemma Hemma though it's been on my list literally since they opened their doors. When Donna Kelce listed it as amongst her favorite spots in KC I just knew it was going to be a slam dunk and yet it STILL took me this long to make my way over. All that being said, I have a standing lunch date with a friend on my calendar and after looking at her text that simply said "Hemma Hemma?" I was so excited to give it a try. I was just coming from a meeting near the Plaza so it was a quick jaunt for me, and I was honestly surprised to find that Hemma Hemma is located in Waldo, right on Wornall. Turns out I've driven past it countless times and never even realized it. For a weekday lunch at noon I was a bit worried about parking but I was able to get a really close spot right on Wornall so don't let that deter you one bit. When you walk in it's honestly kind of perfect brunch/lunch vibes. It's sort of like a marriage of a cozy cafe and a chic home kitchen. You feel welcome and relaxed. It's an order at the counter kind of place and I had their pickle fried chicken salad (forgive me for not remembering the official name!). It was divine. I will say it was very crowded when I was in there but there were plenty of seats, mostly because they've used the space well and there is ample room for single diners to sit at a large communal table in the back, which really frees up tables for folks that are there to chat with someone. Aside from all of that the food is great, the folks working are so nice, and I can't wait to return.

    Classic Burrito and a Biscuit
    Alix A.

    After wanting to go for ages, I finally was able to get to Hemma Hemma. Went there on a Saturday morning around 9 AM with a friend. There were still plenty of seating which was a relief for me. I was seated right away. I wasn't very impressed with our waitress, I'll be honest because it took her a long time to come and take our drink orders. Anyway, I started with a chai latte. She made it very confusing to order because apparently their chai is green tea so there's no caffeine so in order to do that you have to order a dirty chai with the espresso and that you know obviously made the flavor less chai forward. And they only have whole milk, oat milk, and soy milk - no skim, which was disappointing for my meal companion's coffee. I'm a biscuits and gravy freak, but I decided I would branch out and I tried their breakfast burrito but I did get a biscuit on the side, so I knew for next time. The burrito was so delicious! And big. I took half of it home. The biscuit was fantastic and I look forward to trying the biscuits and gravy. My friend got their ricotta toast and it was beautiful to look at. As far as the ambience, it is an adorable space with a lot of character. It was a bit loud because they put the tables pretty close together, but for Saturday morning, it was a great vibe. I absolutely would go back because the food was great but the waitress just wasn't quite where we needed her to be because she was confusing and slow. But other than that, I want to try their dinette! But this is one of the best brunches I've had in ages.

    Hot Honey Salmon Bowl
    Michael L.

    Wow!! Wow!! Amazing food. Staff were super friendly. Family friendly. This is a must. Go try this place. The plate presentation unbelievable. You would think you're at a Michelin 5 Star restaurant. The pricing was adequate. All the flavors on the plate blended well together. Now all I have left to say is go and give them a try. You will be amazed!'

    Salmon Wrap
    Grace P.

    Delicious! So glad to have finally tried this new restaurant in Waldo area. The chicken sandwich is one of the best in the city for sure. The salmon wrap was also good, the sauce made the wrap way better! Inside was quite quirky with bright colors and cute decor. Food was brought to our table quickly. Staff were great as well, instructing us to order then sit down to wait for food.

    Masa pancakes. Waldo bowl. Breakfast burrito.
    Phil B.

    Finally got to try this place as it has been highly talked about and the reviews aligned well with my own experience. Since it was a Saturday, we did their brunch. Started off with the Masa pancakes, which with the cinnamon butter was a hit. Then the entrees included their breakfast burrito and their Waldo bowl. Eggs were cooked perfectly and the sauces are incredible. The only downside was that we ordered the pancakes to come out as a starter, but it all came out together, so some of the food got cold since we didn't want to mix in sweet pancakes with savory eggs.

    What a gem! I've always loved Hemma Hemma for their breakfast, brunch, and lunch -- and now their new dinner menu makes me love this spot even more! The atmosphere is cozy, modern, and perfect for a relaxed night out. We started with a few beverages and shareables -- the Burrata + Tomatoes and Trio of House Dips were absolutely delicious (the beet hummus is a must-try!). For our mains, we had the Aji Verde Chicken Thighs, Herby Chicken Salad Wrap, and Yoshoku Beef Curry -- everything was so fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff was friendly, the service was great, and every dish tasted so thoughtfully made. Definitely one of my favorite KC spots -- perfect for any meal of the day!

    Avocado Toast

    Cinnamon roll was nice and warm. Masa Pancakes were my favorite. Sausage gravy in the Waldo bowl was a bit spicy, Which I like. Husband enjoyed the avacado toast. Great food! Service was on point.

    Wow, Hemma Hemma! I don't know why it's taken me so long to try Hemma Hemma, but I'm so obsessed! First off, it's the cutest little cafe/ restaurant! It feels so cozy inside and is decorated so cute! Love the little sitting area for waiting or grabbing a coffee! The food is also amazing! I heard good things about their cinnamon rolls so had to try it and it was so soft and pillowy and served warm! And their breakfast burrito hit the spot! The aioli that came with it was a game changer- yum! I'm already looking forward to the next time!

    Decor
    Nashay W.

    I went there for brunch with two of my friends and the decor was super cute. There is a seating area when you walk in and an area where you can order coffee and other drinks to go. There is a back room area that is decorated like a kitchen inside of a home. We shared a cinnamon roll that was good. I ordered the H-Ville Hot Chicken Sando with fries and both were good and a nice serving size. We also ordered a tequila sunrise that was good but was a little pricey. Our server was really attentive and friendly. I would return.

    Out front

    Super cute little place! If you're looking for some fun upscale vibes this is the place for you! I had the salmon toast which was so yummy, and aesthetically pleasing super refreshing and filling as well! I also tried the iced spiced pear matcha latte with oat milk 10/10! Not too sweet and just super Yumm! The true star of the show was the cinnamon roll, it was HUGE, so soft and warm! The icing want overly sweet, it was more like a cream cheese type icing which I loved. Ontop of all that the parking was easy! There's some out front and a small lot in the back. Also the women's restroom was very clean and even had pads and tampons available if needed. Highly reccomend going here!

    The BEC
    Katie N.

    I stopped by here with my sister for a late Saturday lunch/brunch. The space is absolutely adorable - super well-decorated and clean. I ordered the BEC sandwich and she had a salad. I also had to add on the ginger cookies that were covered in icing. My sandwich was delicious. The egg was souffled, resulting in a thick fluffy egg layer. The sandwich was a great size and had a ton of flavor. My sister also really enjoyed her salad. The ginger cookie was AMAZING. It reminded me of a better version of the Little Debbie Gingerbread cookies that come out around Christmas time. The cookies were soft and the icing was plentiful. I will definitely plan to stop by again on my next trip to KCMO.

    A go to breakfast and brunch spot on the weekends. Delicious coffee and tasty seasonal drinks. One of the best cinnamon rolls in the city (not pictured here because we devoured before getting a pic)! Now that they are open for dinner service looking to come by later into the day to try!

Today was my first day using a cane after weeks of weaning myself off of crutches and I was moving pretty slow. As I approached the counter I was looking for a seasonal drink menu to see what unique beverage could kick-start my afternoon. I didn't see one anywhere and asked if they had any seasonal offerings from the barista. She looked puzzled and annoyed and said "here is our syrup list". I stated that I was looking for more of a seasonal drink menu or featured beverages not on the regular menu that most every coffee house offers. In an exasperated tone, she turned around and pointed at the main menu board with all the basics and replied; "This is what we serve". Wow! I politely ordered my go-to cortado for here and left a tip. I then hobbled over to the nearest table to the pick-up counter and waited. A few minutes later the same barista brought the drink to the counter, looked at me an entire 4 feet away and shouted "cortado" and walked away. Wow again! If I was in the business of customer service and receiving tips I would be damn sure to take the beverage to the customer when they're 48 inches away and the shop wasn't busy; regardless of customer mobility issues. I have never asked for a tip back, but I sure felt like it at that moment. My Cortado was tasty, but not enough to remove the foul taste in my mouth from blatant customer disrespect. In my over 200 coffee shop reviews, this is my first time giving such a low score. Adios Crow's.

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.

You can only get them on Saturday or Sunday because it takes a days to ferment and laminate the dough. The quality of their ingredients shines in even the simplest plain croissant. I'll occasionally venture into the chocolate or almond version. They rival some of the best I've had in NYC, SF or Paris. In KC, the only other rivals can be found at French Market or Sour Rabbit Bakery. I'm glad their croissants are weekend only so I can have them as an occasional treat. I find their other pastries, especially the tarts, biscuits or scones are also lovely. For a baked goods focused spot, I'd say their cold brew is also pretty great quality as well. Usually I'd go to another coffee shop for a fix, but I'm okay grabbing both a croissant and cold brew here. I haven't been for their "after hours" dinner specials, but that's next on my to do list there!

It was probably the smoothest coffee I've ever had; silky, creamy, and almost pillowy on the tongue. Unfortunately, that's where most of my praise ends. The coffee itself tasted fine, but nothing about the flavor stood out, especially considering the price. I ordered a vanilla latte, but I couldn't taste any vanilla at all and got virtually no sweetness from the drink. Overall, it's not bad coffee by any means, and the texture was genuinely impressive. But for nearly $9, I expected a lot more flavor. I don't regret trying it, but I wouldn't come back at that price point.

There's definitely a trick to drinking it without getting the tea leaves through the straw. As we enjoyed our snack and drink we could tell the caffeine kicks in a little later.
