The great: Come here for the pastries. I love black hole bakery's their mochi donuts and their blueberry croissant thing is stuck in my brain. Initially I was disappointed that there were no mochi donuts that day, but very happy with what I found for dessert. I got a peach pistachio pastry, and you know it was cute. But then I bit into it.... Who is this creative genius? How did he decide this? Layering of flakiness, pistachio soft pieces, the gentle peach in the center. The complexity here, it would have been so easy to go wrong. But it was amazing. I love how light and airy the space is, I did a little bit of working for a few hours and it was lovely. The temperature was pretty comfortable, not freezing cold like it was earlier in the summer when I visited. Folks were sitting around various tables working, there's plenty of space for others if needed. The only thing is -- come with a charged device? I didn't see outlets easily when I was scanning. The okay: Unfortunately, I was less impressed with the other things I ordered. Granted, please consider this more personal preference -- I found the breakfast sandwich to be too sweet, messy, and heavy. I had missed breakfast and lunch -- so I was able to eat it. But I think I would have probably given up on a different day. I also had some kind of lemonade concoction. For around $6, it was fine. Overall I will be coming back! Love the space and the desserts. read more

What can be better than one location to grab goodies from Blackhole Bakery? A SECOND location to grab goodies from Blackhole Bakery! The newest location in the West Plaza neighborhood is such a great addition to the neighborhood and is a great place to relax and eat or work while enjoying goodies and drinks! I took my parents to the Bodega (and they're already HUGE fans of Blackhole), and we were not disappointed. So many pastries, which we love! But also, they have a selection of shelf-stable and refrigerated goods that you can peruse as you walk up to the counter. AND as you get up to the counter, you also notice the selection of coffee beverages and other beverages (I had a blueberry lemonade! Yum!), and some great looking breakfast sandwiches! My parents and I couldn't get past the pastries, so I'm looking forward to grabbing one of those breakfast crunch wraps next time I'm over there! As always, the staff were so helpful in letting us know the special elements of the menus and the recommendations! After we ordered, we plopped down at one of the tables and enjoyed our delicious choices. The interior is inviting and includes one of those giant garage doors that they open on nice days! So glad to finally check out this new addition--can't wait to go back!! read more

What an addition to the West Plaza neighborhood! This spot snuck in it's opening at the end of 2025 and my crystal ball says they're in for a great full year ahead. I popped in to get some gift cards for friends who live in the neighborhood and came away impressed: -Good amount of space for meeting or coworking -Nestled into the neighborhood, plenty of street parking -Maps Coffee which is delicious -Blackhole Bakery baked goods, also delicious -Walkable for many It's just great to see a spot that isn't some parking-minimum, strip-mall dime a dozen kind of place. This has some character and accessibility that, honestly, I'd love our whole country to adopt moving forward. Allow local shops near and in neighborhoods to bolster them! But yeah, go try them out. If you have ever had Blackhole Bakery, you know how good they do it. This is just another adaptation, and they still have their original. Wishing them the best and looking forward to popping in again soon. read more

A second location to get Blackhole Bakery baked goods?? Sign me up. Tucked away on 45th St in the row of antique shops, West Plaza Bodega is a walkable neighborhood gem. There is typically plenty of parking along 45th St or on the side streets in the neighborhood. They sell a small collection of niche food items like condiments, sauces, locally milled flour, and snacks. For a large space with bodega in the name, I was expecting more shelves stocked with goods, but they make up for it with the pastries and coffee sold behind the counter. We now have a second location to enjoy Blackhole Bakery pastries, and I can definitely see the selection getting picked over on the weekends later in the day. They have a good amount of seating inside to chat and drink coffee and enjoy your treats. They had Kit's Diner popping up with breakfast sandwiches, and I am desperately sad that it wasn't a permanent fixture because that sausage egg and cheese sandwich was one of the best of my life. Hopefully they will add a permanent breakfast food option soon because that would really make West Plaza Bodega perfect. read more

Cool coffee shop with bakery items in west plaza. Loved the vintage style decor and the repurposed MCI chairs. I had a chai latte. The pastries looked amazing. My friend had a blueberry pastry. He said it was delicious. Garage door is cool, opened up makes the shop feel airy and inviting. Staff were friendly and plenty of street parking around there. read more

The location, interior, and vibe is awesome! It's a great place to bring the family or to make a pit stop if walking around the neighborhood or checking out the shops in the west plaza. This 2 star rating pertains to the coffee. They use MAPS coffee and have specific blends they use and I think they may have a blend unique for them from MAPS coffee for certain things. But, I am not a fan of their espresso. The beans tasted burnt, overly bitter, very pungent and harsh. I got a hot americano and had to dump it out. A pour over of some kind would be final test to the roasters beans. Cool place to check out if your looking for Black Hole Bakery products and a place to gather with some friends. If you're into coffee and looking unique flavors, expressive notes, and tasty beans then I'd suggest coffee elsewhere. read more

West Plaza Bodega - Hot Americano - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

I love black hole bakery so finding out they have a second location selling their bakery items and that it is in my neighborhood was an amazing way to start my day. The interior is very cute and spacious and there were a ton of unique seasonal drink options. The baristas were friendly and I will definitely be back. My only warning would be that a small size coffee is genuinely very small - smaller than a little hand lotion container for comparison. read more

West Plaza Bodega - A size small coffee, definitely smaller than typical. Still delicious. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

As I was approaching West Plaza Bodega, a gentleman walking out the door shouted my name; it was an old friend that I hadn't seen in 30 years. After hugs and catching up with our lives, I walked inside and my favorite song by my favorite band was playing. It appears that all the good energy was gathering and just waiting for me to arrive at what instantly became my favorite coffee shop.Tucked into a residential neighborhood just off of State-Line Rd in an old abandoned building with rock walls that has thoroughly been modernized and decorated with mid-century artifacts and a variety of seating option. Very hip and welcoming - a place to sip and smile. Being owned by Blackhole Bakery is a definite positive since you know that you are getting the freshest and best tasting pastries in the city - although my arrival at 2pm on a Sunday there was only one sad and lonely croissant left on the counter. My barista said that they receive 300 baked goods each morning, so plan accordingly. My charming barista also made me a delicious "foo foo'" drink - apricot pistachio latte. Made with pureed apricots and espresso beans sourced from one my favorite coffee shop/roasters in town - Maps Coffee in Lenexa. A perfect beverage for a Sunday afternoon treat and pick me up. They are true to their "bodega" name with a large assorted variety of packages goods - sauces, oils, candy, snacks, pastas... everything that a person living in the neighborhood might need for a quick lunch or a gourmet dish without having to drive to the supermarket. Totally jealous of not having anything equivalent where I live. They are planning breakfast / brunch sandwich pop-ups while they prepare to start operating their kitchen themselves soon. Eager to return and get me cool MD2020 t-shirt - Mochi donut. Great product, people and vibe. read more

Have been wanting to stop by here since it opened and finally got over there. This is such a smart use of that building and space, lovely addition to the neighborhood. I talked to a friend who lives around and they said it's perfect on Sunday's when other coffee shops around are closed. Staff was super nice and quick, food was delish and the coffee was great. I will 100% be coming back! read more

A fantastic addition to the neighborhood. I had a cinnamon roll which was big & tasty along with the Sassy breakfast sandwich which included sausage, egg, some sort of delicious dressing and bun. The staff was very nice and the atmosphere was relaxing. I recommend checking out this place if you are in the area looking for a delicious breakfast read more

easily one of the best new places in kc. i'm a big fan of black hole bakery, and having a location that's a little closer with more seating is so nice. I got the apricot pistachio latte and it was amazing. The pastries are delicious as always, and the staff was super friendly and helpful. read more

I loved the vibe, decor, and service was super duper sweet! Great little pit stop on my drive back home!

This place is such a solid addition to the neighborhood. It has a really cool, laid-back vibe, and their pastries are UNBELIEVABLE. Everything we tried was genuinely impressive. The staff is super sweet and friendly as well. They only have a few breakfast options right now, but it sounds like they're planning to expand with grab-and-go and lunch soon. This place is about to blow up. Definitely worth stopping in! read more

Hard to find parking. Coffee wasn't great but the pastries were awesome. The vibe was very cool like the neighborhood. Service was friendly.

Food is good. Horrible customer service. My family walked to breakfast and arrived just as they were opening at 7am. We ordered, paid and grabbed a table next to the lounge area. While my wife and I waited for our breakfast sandwiches, our toddlers started eating their pastries. My 3 year old son was telling us how great the cinnamon role was when a worker come out and said "we can hear him all the way back in the kitchen. We can't have that in here." We thought she was kidding because we were the only customers in the bodega and he was saying how good the food was. 5-10 min later, we are eating our breakfast sandwiches and our kids are dancing to the music in the lounge area as they had already finished their pastries. The worker returned and said "you have to get those kids out of here. We cannot handle the noise." At this time, there was only one other patron in the bodega with his toddler. He looked at us and said "are they serious?" Even he couldn't believe we were being kicked out half way through breakfast for happy children behaving in the lounge area. They were not touching decor, they were not making any messes, and we were sitting near to where they were playing and paying close attention to them. We spent less than 20 min in the bodega and unfortunately they accepted a 25% tip prior to us sitting down. read more
