    Pretty decent coffee + breakfast spot! Tried their seasonal coffee (coconut creamsicle latte) and the chorizo burrito. My bf got the rose honey vanilla latte and breakfast sandwich. The staff was pretty cool!

    The coffee was great! Nice and smooth. The breakfast sandwich was tasty but the bun was a little too big in my opinion. There was only one egg so many bites were just bacon and bread. The staff were friendly and you could tell they cared about the quality of your drink. It was a convenient spot by our hotel and we'd return if we were in the area again.

    Cold Brew

    Excellent cold brew in the heart of power and light district. Very close to the convention center. The place has a cozy and laid back vibe, with tables and outlets to set up laptops to work. The baristas are friendly and know their craft.

    One of downtowns coffee stops.. inviting and functional with booths that have plugs. My 20 oz Iced Caramel/Lavender Latte Espresso (almond milk) and PT's Classic Breakfast Sandwich were both pretty good. I never really add anything to caramel but took a chance and even when I asked for more caramel which was vegan btw.. they obliged. The vegan flavor took some getting use to when I got to the bottom of my drink, it was very grainy. I don't think I'll have it again.

    Had a yummy iced vanilla latte at PT's this morning! Many of my coffee-loving friends would appreciate that they have beans for sale as well. The breakfast sandwich was good - soft roll, crispy bacon, and fluffy eggs. I do wish it had the chipotle aioli as listed on the menu to give it some spice. Highly recommend the homemade brown sugar cinnamon "poptart"

    Walked here from the convention center and it was a great location and such a bright and airy spot. Our drinks were served quickly and I had my favorite meal of the whole weekend here, the BLT is to die for. Get it!

    Coffee grinds in latte
    Shannon S.

    I love coffee and find it hard to articulate how nasty this coffee was. I ordered a caramel latte, it contained coffee grinds. It was also very expensive, over $7 for such a poorly crafted drink. I ended up throwing it in the trash during my walk. The staff member I interacted with was nice, the shop is nice and clean, the drink was just horrible. I should have asked for it to be remade.

    PT's breakfast sandwich
    Carol T.

    A typical coffee shop with a handful of tables. The staff were friendly. I ordered an iced tea and the PT sandwich for breakfast. The sandwich is on a brioche and was very tasty. It comes with an aioli which I thought was good but maybe not preferred on a breakfast sandwich. My tea was a good quality.

    S'mores latte, chocolate chip banana bread
    Andrea A.

    Was in Kansas City for a conference and came to PT's Coffee for a quick, small breakfast! Got the S'Mores Latte (Mocha with Toasted Marshmallow Syrup) and the Chocolate Chip Banana Bread. Both items were tasty & classic. Lots of space and seating. Super close & convenient location to the Kansas City Convention Center. Service was fast- huge kudos to the person who was working there because there was only one person handling the morning rush of conference goers and she did great! 7/10 would recommend!

    Cappuccino
    Caleb S.

    Coffee was alright. Got a cappuccino. The pictures that the shop posted are not what you actually get. Was hoping for well textured milk and even some latte art. Just got foam. The cinnamon roll was great though! Just was looking for a speciality shop who really cared about the craft is all.

    I was in a pinch for time ~15 minutes and walked in on a long line. I was approaching 5 minutes in my same spot noticing how few employees there were needing to serve everyone else so I left. I'm looking forward to trying in the future.

    PT's is very spacious and quiet for those who want to get work done! I was very disappointed with the coffee. I tried an iced caramel latte and a lavender latte. They were both watered down without the flavor. I wasn't personally a fan of the drinks but the layout of the coffeeshop is great!

    Just a block away from the hustle and bustle of The Power and Light district is Topeka based PT's 2nd KC location. The vibe is decidedly non P&L; with some great sophisticated background music (I shazamed a few tunes) and enough room to spread out at a high-top or a comfy chair. A friendly barista served me a great smooth Rwandan pour-over and I enjoyed a rainy and relaxing Saturday morning with some simple pleasures.

The sauce on top had a little kick to it but that could have been the veggies on top, but would get it again. Our friend got the breakfast enchiladas and said it was very good, she likes the green sauce over the red. I didn't personally try so I can't say how it was. My son ordered the traditional breakfast, and that's exactly what it was, but he liked it. The pancakes are the size of the plate and had a fluffy center and crispy edges. We did have to ask for more syrup because they were so big. The only reason it was not a 5 was because I felt the waitress could have been around more. I felt that since we had a group of 7 and the gratuity was already added she didn't worry about it. Our waters went empty and we had to ask a different waiter for more water and syrup, when she came over the water was warm and didn't have any ice. A kid spilled her syrup we went and asked for a rag and we cleaned it up which we expected but we had to flag someone down to see if she could get more syrup. I just felt she wasn't as attractive as she could have been. We went there on a Monday around 9:45, so it wasn't extremely busy. I would say that you should try it, it was good food!

These biscuits are stacked so high and loaded so heavy, you'll need a game plan, a fork, and maybe a pep talk from your server (who, by the way, is probably the nicest person you've ever met before 10 a.m.). Let's start with the Bloody Marys--absolute perfection. Spicy, savory, and went down easy! Pair that with the fact that my biscuit sandwich came out looking like a Jenga tower of delicious chaos, and I knew I was in for something special. The first bite? Fireworks. The last bite? A fork fight at the table over the remaining crumbs. One of my sandwiches came dripping with sauce like it was starring in its own Food Network slow-mo reel. The other was a crunchy, tangy, biscuit-lovin' masterpiece stacked with perfectly fried chicken, cabbage slaw, and dreams. This place is not for the faint of appetite. You will leave full. You will need a nap. And you will already be planning your next visit before you even finish your drink. 10/10. Bring your hunger, your friends, and stretchy pants.

This seems like a great spot to work from, although they also had a wonderful (windy) rooftop to sit on also.. that looked like it had a fireplace for chillier days- so cozy. Best coffee in KC.

    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!

Seating might be full, but there's both counter seating in the open concept kitchen or tables on the other side. A lot of people rave about their breakfast burritos or breakfast biscuit sandwiches. My out of town guests love them too when I bring them here. I'm here to rave about their weekend only croissants. 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.

Then paired with a cold brew mixed with Coca-Cola and topped with a cherry-vanilla cold top. Phenomenal. Just as incredible was the bakery case. After a tough decision making process, I took home a cookie, Lemon Goat Cheesecake, and blueberry pop-tart. The cheesecake and poptart were best I've ever had in each category and the cookie that I didn't even get a taste of, was declared "the best damn cookie I've ever had" by my wife. Two days later she is still talking about it.
