Each time I have been to the Golden Scoop, I have gotten top-notch service with a smile and pride in their product, but mostly, the eagerness in just being on the team. The staff scoops ice cream and serves coffee drinks with the happiest of faces. They are the absolute best! Yeah, yeah, what about the ice cream? Artisanal flavors made on site, ranging from the mundane (think mint chocolate chip - good but yawn) to the creative. I am a sucker for the Salted Caramel Crunch, a subtle blend of caramel without the syrupy ribbon having to run through it. This past visit had my lovely wife getting a large scoop of what was titled 'Home Run', which was described as being 'very peanut buttery'. And they weren't kidding: vanilla with chunks of Snickers and Butterfinger made for a heavenly flavor combo. Love the creativity and execution of that product Neither one of our scoops had a long life span as we gobbled/slurped them down quick-quick. There is plenty of room in their dining area for you to enjoy your ice cream or coffee as well as a couple of picnic-style tables right out front (with umbrellas). Parking is super easy, and there's even a drive-through, which is a nice touch. The ice cream is great, the space is great, and Golden Scoop's proud staff makes this spot a must destination.

There…read morewere several coffee shops around but having been to another Golden Scoop I knew this is where I wanted to warm up and enjoy the energy while waiting. Being good still I didn't sample the ice cream. I was super boring with my order of black coffee. Hey it's nearly Feb and I'm still no sugar no junk!! That's a win in itself. Enough about me. This place or the other Golden Scoop not only serves up gold in a cup it feeds your sole. In our current state of humanity all around all that drama ends at this door. I LOVE THAT!!! Super blessed to have this opportunity to be served with great enthusiasm and passion in every encounter here. Im not sure it's an every Saturday thing but live music by Anna Ray was my cherry on top of my Saturday.... I was a day off of a great pun. She played her keyboard while I enjoyed my book and coffee. I got to stay to see her reward of hot cocoa. It was very well earned and glad to see her tip jar appearing full. She played several easily recognizable hits and classics. Her parents gave me a flyer and okay it being online so check her out!!! Let's go yelpers we can get her followers up a few notches! @annaraymusic Instagram. Thanks to Golden Scoop for another awesome experience.

It had been YEARS since I'd been to Homers when I walked in for a meeting earlier this week and…read morewhile not much had changed, I was really impressed and surprised with my cold brew. Some back story: I used to live in this neighborhood and before I lived here my husband (then boyfriend) lived here so I've spent some solid time in Old Overland Park. Before the Parisi opened in 2020 Homers was the only coffee option in this area so I'd ended up here for meetings, or to grab a cup to go many times. I'd say before this week I had pegged Homers as more of a three star spot. It was very hit or miss, and the vibes weren't hitting it for me. Just my personal preference. Speed up to Wednesday when Parisi was packed and I had a meeting on the calendar. My colleague suggested we move over to Homers since there were no tables at Parisi and I had a wonderful time here this week. My cold brew was on par, if not better than local competitors, the barista super friendly, and the space felt homey in a good way. I'll need a few more great visits to move up into 5 star territory but they are on the right path and I love that this return visit totally changed my mind about this local spot.

Love that! Azelynn took my order and she was so sweet and friendly. I tried the COOLADA, which has COCONUT | PINEAPPLE | WHITE CHOCOLATE in it. I ordered it sugar free. All the drinks can be ordered sugar free- LOVE that!! It was still pretty sweet, so I cut it with water. It was the perfect thirst quencher on a sunny day. Will def go back to try more drinks.

Parisi Cafe inside Union Station is quite possibly my favorite place to savor a perfect cortado or…read morecold brew. There's a couple of things that makes PC stand out for me. First off they know what they are doing. After attending a Caffeine Crawl presentation at their Overland Park location last month, I see the passion and knowledge they bring to the business of roasting beans, doing retail and continously being creative which puts them in the forefront of KC Cafe culture and products. The other MAJOR factor is location. Union Station is sacred ground for me. My father worked in this building for 30 years and there is nothing like sitting in the Grand Hall while people watching, remembering my father and just soaking in the history and remembering all the stories that I have of this building. Thank you Parisi for giving me a place to sit and reminisce, while enjoying a damn fine beverage.

The only warning is that given the climate outside, you might want to plan to make sure you get home quickly so nothing melts or gets too faded. I appreciate that they wrap it in plastic to protect the product. And there is a cute little plastic container that you can keep after the food is gone. I'm very excited to dig in.

Just happened to see how plump, thick like a cake their cookies are I got chocolate chip and PB butter. I purchased a hot chocolate ball and about 8 truffles: Strawberry lemonade caramel, Cinnamon caramel, Maple brown sugar caramel with Toms Town Bourbon, Bacon caramel, Guinness caramel, Pineapple rum Bon Bon, Honey Turmeric caramel, PB&J Bon Bon. I split the cookies and chocolate truffles with my mom. Most memorable was bacon caramel which is literally made with bacon pieces and fat.. not what I expected and the taste is not good. PB&J matched its name, not too much flavor. My mom liked the cinnamon & strawberry lemonade. The remaining truffles really didn't have the flavor as they're named. The cookies although thick were perfectly chewy and delicious.

This day they had both ice cream cases full of different option because of their seasonal changeover. The staff member was so patient and friendly with her joy to have us try all the flavors we were curious about. I settled upon a scoop (albeit large) of a unique sweet vanilla type ice cream of fresh blueberries and strawberries with a yellow cake mixed in -- sooo good. My husband got a brownie sundae and loved his, too. I must say that you HAVE to get the waffle bowl because it was the best we've ever had...it's a dessert on its own. Wish we had one of these in our state!
