Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Olathe

"A lively, laid-back atmosphere is guaranteed at Gram & Dun, a prime gastro-pub residing in the elegant, hip Brookside neighbourhood of KC. Thick wooden beams running across the ceiling, metallic elements and statement pieces of furniture make this a stylish, trendy spot where a special kind of American fusion cuisine can be enjoyed. Unusual combinations, such as jerk pheasant or chicken and waffles, cross paths with modern spins on all-American classics: hangar steak with a zesty salsa verde or burnt end mac’n’cheese."

"Bread & Butter Concepts’ sophisticated Gram & Dun caters to a mature but fun crowd. The swanky restaurant is located on one of the most desirable corners of the Plaza, with an interior draped in luxe golds, creams and dark brown. On warmer nights or when the heat lamps are running, head outside to enjoy the fireplaces glittering on the patio and sip on a house cocktail, like the seasonally rotating Moscow Mule."

"Gram & Dun’s spacious patio will always rank among the best on the Country Club Plaza to relax, dine, drink and people-watch. There is not another patio in the city that can beat the incredible location, views and hospitality. Guests can sit comfortably distanced on modern outdoor furniture or at highly sought-after tables."

"Run by husband and wife duo Josh and Abbey-Jo Eans, Happy Gillis may be the coziest restaurant in all of Kansas City. Besides their enjoyable atmosphere, Happy Gillis boasts a diverse and scrumptious breakfast menu. From their fresh coffee to famous biscuits and gravy, you won’t be disappointed with a visit to Happy Gillis."

"Expect farm-fresh everything at Happy Gillis, a funky Columbus Park café known for its craft cuisine. Locally sourced ingredients are key to every dish here, whether you’re chowing down on biscuits and gravy (served all day), a smoked trout sandwich or something in between."

"Tuesday through Saturday 8:00am-3:00pm; Sunday 9:00am-3:00pm. Where do I even begin about Happy Gillis?. Their dedication to supporting local, eating seasonally, and ingredient quality makes them one of my favorite breakfast, brunch, and lunch spots in town."

"The atmosphere of Succotash is about as hip and energetic as the name of the place itself. Succotash prides itself in supporting local vendors for ingredients used in their dishes. In addition to an in-depth brunch menu, locals in Kansas City can also utilize Succotash for their catering services."

"A place where delicious meets organic Blue Bird Bistro is my brunch location for anyone trying to eat a little more natural. Sourced by local farms and organic grocers I've never had a bad thing on the menu and last time I was there they had this locally farmed bison sausage that was absolute fire."

"Sundaes and banana splits are the usual at this old-school diner, but real ice cream champions buddy up to take down the Skyscraper Shake, a towering confectionary concoction. As fun to watch as delicious it is to eat, this regional chain features Thai fried ice cream rolls in countless flavor combinations. A plethora of fresh-made ice cream options adorn waffle cones (also freshly prepared) at this local favorite that calls"

"Rustic-contemporary space for wines & bistro-style New American fare with an international touch. Voltaire’s American fusion cuisine and one of KC’s memorable dining experiences. Downtown/River Market/West Bottoms"

"It’s hard to believe that Voltaire has been around since 2013. I remember my first meal there to celebrate my birthday. It was a delicious experience full of great food, cocktails, and a delicious slice of cake."

"Be sure to pass by the JC Nichols Memorial Fountain, as well. Named after the Plaza’s developer, it is the most photographed piece of art in the district and part of why Kansas City is often referred to as the "City of Fountains.""

"It’s a great place to hang out in the Crossroads Arts District. It’s also a bar, so you can stop by in the evening for drinks instead of coffee. (Note: it’s 21+ only, even for coffee)"

"With clean lines and modern architecture, the Nerman Museum is both a nationally recognized art museum and a minimalists’ dream photo destination."

"Sometimes a short hike just won't do it - you need the challenge of a longer trail to really get your gear goin'. Enter Wyandotte County Lake & Park, home to over 15 miles of hiking trails that surround the lake and feature plenty of twists and bends. If you're not up for the challenge after all, fear not, for the park offers shorter trails as well."

"Location: State Ave. & 126th St., Bonner SpringsLength: 15 miles. These wooded trails are perfect for biking and hiking enthusiasts looking for an outdoor adventure close to home. The park and trails are located near the Legends Outlets and Children’s Mercy Park at Wyandotte County Lake."
