Okay, so they let me be picky with the danish I wanted, warmed it up, and brought my drink to me in the back while I was chilling. Top tier service all around, thank you handsome lad with black hair (sorry I never got your name!) The lavender Vanilla latte was delicious - not too sweet, had the right amount of coffee balanced with the rest. I really enjoyed it I haven't had a poptart in forever for a good reason but when I took a close look at this I could tell icing was generous and applied recently, and the filling would be great. And I was right! Also the blueberry part of the danish melted in my mouth since it was warmed up - absolutely delightful! The vibes are great for crowds, dates, or even a hangout spot. There is a bar in the back if you want to take the vibes even further. I'll be returning for another poptart and drink :)

My Winner of Best Restaurant Week Meal 2026…read more I hadn't been back to Westport Cafe for a few years but now I'm kicking myself because I've been missing out! I remembered this restaurant being one of my favorites in years past . For some reason it fell off my radar. Now it's shining like a beacon of fine dining French inspired cuisine in Westport, an entertainment district known for a more casual environment. If you are looking for a special date night meal, somewhere for a girls night or just for a treat yourself dinner I would highly suggest Westport Cafe. Let's talk about this incredible restaurant week menu. First was the deconstructed crab cake (which is always on the menu) I would order this dish again and again. The way it was presented was a work of art. All the components were complex and it was fun to eat. It has such an essence of crab without the heaviness deep fried crab cakes usually have. Seafood is special here because the Trout Almondine was one of the best fish dishes I've ever had. It begs to be added to the menu. The sauce was buttery and rich with nutty notes, the citrus cut through the richness so, it didn't seem heavy. The fish was cooked impeccably, I literally had no notes. They know what they're doing in that kitchen! And you know if I can rave about green beans then it was a perfectly executed dish. They had such a nice snap and vibrant green color, they were delicious dipped in that sauce. I cannot wait to go back for another solo splurge meal. This was my second dinner of the evening so I didn't make it to dessert at the restaurant but, I did take it to-go. I'm not a big dessert girl so, it wasn't very memorable however, the rest of the meal is engrained in my mind. I remember back a few years ago I used to go crazy for the muscles here so, I can't wait to sample them again. Also, just a note any menu that has rabbit on it just completes me. It's so hard to find nowadays in Kansas City and it's one of my favorite meats to indulge in. The menu rotates seasonally (as one should) so, I need to rush back in soon before the rabbit leaves. I would suggest you rush in too, I do not think you'll regret it.

Cafe Trio is most definitely a hidden gem! The inside was very elegant, quiet, and had great ambiance. The pianist was also a great add on to the experience. The wait staff were nicely dressed and were all super sweet. Ross, our waiter had the bar make us our own wine which was just wine and juice mixed to get to the specific taste we wanted. I note this because not a lot of restaurants will go this far to accommodate but Cafe Trio did and it was just delicious. Let me tell yall about this grilled salmon. Absolutely delicuous! It was grilled thoroughly and still kept its shape. You can tell they put a lot of attention to their dishes because I only mostly came back here for the salmon and it was even better than the first time I had it, in fact even more delicious! The gnocchi ricotta was also delicious. Soft, pillowy, and just melts in your mouth after biting into it. My husband enjoyed his pasta, which they added mushrooms to because he doesn't eat meat. At the end of the night, I had them surprise my husband with a cake and they added a candle to it so that we may commemorate our 2 years. Honestly this place is great and the food speaks for itself. They have a new menu coming out and I'm already making plans on coming back to try it out.

The staff were friendly, service was quick even on a busy Sunday, and the cafe is so lively and vibrant. Love love love.

I had been wanting to try out this coffee shop for quite a while, I was out this morning and…read moredecided to swing by and try it out. I have been to over 100 coffee shops in our area so far and I will say, that I absolutely loved this coffee shop, and I would rate it in the top three of my favorites! Today I tried a hot London fog with oat milk and it was perfect. I also had a gluten-free blueberry muffin, which was also good. My husband joined me a little while later and he had two of their chorizo burritos which were large and very tasty as well as the salsa that goes along with them. He had a black tea with raspberry syrup and he said that was very good as well. The service was excellent, and they were very nice and friendly to every person that came in and it was quite obvious that there were many regulars. Even though this was my first time I felt like I had been a regular. The ambience is one of the best things about it because it is peaceful, friendly, relaxing, and combined with the excellent service it makes you want to linger and come back immediately. It is located in the small town of Turner, and it has that small town, friendly vibe. My father was a long time resident of Turner so I'm familiar with the area. It has a lovely patio in the back that is peaceful and filled with bird song. They have the burritos available for Saturday and Sunday, from what the sign says. They also had some other lunch specials. They have some reading materials and also some free reading materials for children. I will definitely be back. They are shining the Light in the community and beyond.

Throughout the store they have sections of many different brands and their products, mostly supporting local KC vendors. Among different types of goods they had apparels, cards, accessories, cups, mugs, candies, chocolates, caps, coasters, posters, home candles and much more. The prices were little higher since these are local made goods, but they were excellent quality. We bought some chocolate bars and cards from the store. The staff members were very friendly, assisted us with a quick and easy checkout.

Truth be iterated...I was hesitant walking in to this place. We pulled up to rockstar parking in…read morefront of the store (more on that in a moment), and I couldn't help but question whether the forthcoming experience was worth it. The idea of domestically-manufactured items or, in this case, even made in Kansas City is intriguing. The store is nicely done. Sure there are tacky tchotchkes, but there is something for everyone. Anyway, I got a coffee. It was very good and the barista was friendly. My disappointment is rooted in the store's name and that some things are not only not made in KC, but are not made in America. It feels like a two-star outcome when the store name is held up to reality, but I'll hesitantly add the third with hope they redouble efforts to stock more items of domestic origin. Anyway, back to the parking situation - if you get wonderful parking beware there are some lookie-loos. I don't want to brand anyone suspicious, but even on a weekend morning there was a sense of character presence if you catch my drift.

Menu-wise, they offer tea and parties and a strong lineup of coffee. I do wish there were more gluten-free options, but the egg bite worked in a pinch, especially with the sriracha honey and salsa picante. There is a bacon version I couldn't try due to not eating pork. I got the lavender haze latte with added white chocolate mocha it was an excellent in flavor, though my hot drink could have been served a bit hotter it was barely warm and got cold fast (just something to keep in mind). There is plenty of parking, outside/inside seating, strong Wi-Fi, and outlets nearly everywhere making this an ideal work spot. It wasn't overly busy, and most guests seemed settled in and staying awhile. A great atmosphere for working or lounging, I'll definitely be back.

A very cool lobby with sculpture, paintings, photos and within the Ox are added artifacts and old school charm with lots of dark wood and glass. Arriving at 11am, I ordered from the all day breakfast menu and had a single biscuit and gravy, a side of fries and a drip coffee. They use Broadway Roasters so no issues with the java - they also have an espresso machine with a full menu for caffeine options. Fries were the crispy coated style and were great, B&G was peppery and the biscuit fresh. My 2 slight complaints was the temperature of the gravy could have been a few degrees hotter and the price point for the bowl of fries should have been a tad less. Six bucks for fries at a diner is a bit overboard. 3.5 stars for food and rounding up for good coffee, ambiance and efficient staff.
