Great local find.

My first thought upon entering was "where are the bread cubes, how am I supposed to taste oils &…read morevinegars without bread cubes?" And then I learned. Oh boy did I learn! I saw a woman pour a little bit of vinegar into a little paper cup and sip it straight, so in true monkey-see-monkey-do fashion I did the same. My first taste was the White Peach Balsamic. Forget everything you know about balsamic vinegar, stuff this good is on a different plane of existence altogether. Wow! So syrupy and brightly flavored I now understood the glaring lack of bread cubes. Who needs them? The White Peach was like jam. I was instantly thinking of pouring it over ice cream, or ... ? It turned my world upside down. My budget permitted a purchase of just one bottle this trip, but you can rest assured I will be coming back to add to my collection. If you're curious, I chose the Lime Jalepeno Balsamic as my first bottle. All I add is a little oil, salt & pepper and I have a salad dressing that knocks my socks off!

My wife and I recently made our first visit to The New York Butcher Shoppe, just ahead of their…read moreone-year anniversary, and we came away impressed. What makes this place stand out is the concept. You can walk up to the butcher case, pick out your own steak, and have them grill it for you. It's a fun experience that feels different from a traditional steakhouse. If you'd rather order from the menu, there are also plenty of meat and seafood options available. We shared a bone-in ribeye that was absolutely delicious. We started with the Sweet Potato Hummus, which my wife especially loved. The real surprise of the night was the Hot Honey & Goat Cheese Brussels Sprouts. Those were outstanding and easily one of the best sides we've had in a long time. The roasted potatoes, on the other hand, were just okay. Another thing worth mentioning is the deli-style refrigerated cases in the back of the shop. They're packed with prepared meals, sides, meats, and other items that looked genuinely tempting for taking home later. Overall, a very enjoyable first experience and a creative addition to the Kansas City dining scene

Let's start with the service--Billy, Grant, and Parker were all incredible. Friendly, attentive, and just chill in the best way. You can tell they care about what they're doing and treat customers like family. Scott and Vicky the owners were warm and welcoming. They welcomed feedback in the best way... it definitely felt like a locally owned neighborhood market. Now, let's talk food: Meatballs alla Vodka? Baaaaby. Rich, savory, cheesy, melt-in-your-mouth goodness. Hot Honey Brussels were crispy, sweet, spicy, and downright addictive. Parmesan & Rosemary Fries? Flavorful with a perfect crisp. That rosemary hit me in my soul. Fritz Müller Perlwein Rosé was served at the bar at grocery store pricing. And yes, I was feelin' bougie for less. Then I peeked around and realized this place is ALSO a full-on boutique market. Think wine shop, butcher counter, charcuterie essentials, and every sauce or seasoning your inner foodie could dream of. The vibe is elevated but still approachable--perfect for a wine night run or a laid-back date night. Truly a one-stop shop for snacks and sustenance. Support local, and treat yourself. I'll be back soon, probably with a tote bag and a full appetite. Definitely filling my DEAN AND DELUCA void!!!

Recently they added on a wing around their deli, and it looks a little more suburban than the area but not a total eyesore. I often feel you can judge a grocery store by their produce quality, and here it's always pretty good if not a bit more expensive than other stores. They also have a nice bakery area, beer & wine, and all the candy my girls could ever want to find. Not a place I do my weekly shopping but absolutely fantastic for popping in for a quick thing here or there.

I'm a fan of this neighborhood grocery store, nestled in charming Brookside. It has been around now…read morefor a long time, long enough to really become a staple of the area, and it feels the same to me walking in now as it did when I lived in the neighborhood about twelve years ago. Back when I worked down the street from here, and lived nearby, I used to pop in here frequently for beer, wine, and to indulge in their great salad bar. I don't often find myself grocery shopping in this part of town any longer, but when I do I always notice that they still have a great selection of local items, including beer and wine. AND, they still rock a great salad bar. I popped in here most recently thinking I might try one of the waldo take and bake pizzas that I'd heard were rumoured to be available, and was a bit sad that I would have to get thin crust to get any meats on a 'za. Definitely not Cosentino's fault, but that would be an improvement as I'm not a waldo thin crust fan. At any rate, I think you'll find most of what you need here at a somewhat reasonable price. I'd put prices somewhere in between whole foods and price chopper. While you might pay a little more than going down the street to Price Chopper, you'll find a cleaner shop, and tons more local options, which I always enjoy. Now that I live a little bit further out I find visiting this grocery store to be a bit nostalgic, and I enjoy seeing what little treasures I can find if I find myself here.

Service was friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed, making it an easy spot to sit back and enjoy dinner. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm in KC.

In general, we really love the menu at both bamboo pennies in Leawood and pennies in the village…read more The pennies in the village does feel a little overpriced and it may be just due to the Prairie village premium since we don't have very many restaurants here to choose from, however, it is a bit pricey for what you get recently. We had the softshell crab spring rolls, and it was a bit disappointing that it wasn't even one actual spring roll, but it was rice paper wrapped in the center cut in half so it was really one spring roll cut in half as an appetizer for $16. We were expecting a plate of spring rolls, which usually is two cut in half making four pieces. I've never gotten an appetizer where you paid $16 for one piece. The other issue with the appetizer was the crab is deep-fried and battered, which we did not know and the majority of the crab was the batter and the breading not the crab itself. Again, we understand this is a premium to pay, but it really felt like we weren't getting an appetizer for that price. I will say the dipping sauce is amazing and I quite enjoyed it otherwise I also had a noodle dish, the Pad See Ew flat noodles, which I absolutely love however it was incredibly salty and when it's too salty, there's really nothing you can do :/ it made us feel like the noodles just sit in a pot all day long and so the sauce gets condensed over the day. We also tried the mango duck, which was amazing but again for the price I wasn't really expecting deep fried, and even though it taste great it was a little bit of a shock to have a tray of deep-fried duck. The mango sauce that comes with it is not really a mango purée, which is what I was expecting, but it was absolutely amazing. I loved the sauce I loved the vegetables I loved the presentation. Now I don't have a photo of the food because we were not super impressed with it however, I was very impressed with the rosé. This has become my favorite rosé wine and I've only seen it at Pennys highly recommend it to people who are trying to decide which wine to drink.
