Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Olathe

"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."

"A Kansas City staple, originally named the Harvey House Diner, this breakfast spot opened in 1914. The recently re-opened Harvey’s at Union Station still shares many of the core values of the original. This open-air restaurant situated in historic Union Station was once one of more than 80 train diners offering train passengers a full, quality meal well before their next train was due to arrive."

"Selecting, roasting, and brewing inspirational coffee is our art and passion. As children, our grandmother’s stove-top moka pot espresso was the first coffee we knew and loved. We opened the Parisi Artisan Coffee roasting facility in 2006."

"Service was terrific which is becoming a rarity nowadays so props to Pierpont’s. It’s like taking a trip back in time."

"Donutology is a fun, modern concept where you can create your own donut. They have a menu for those who don’t want to leave their donut up to them, but I’m a firm believer that everyone should try their hand at creating a new flavor invention at least once. my personal recommendation:"

"A new shop in the donut scene, Donutology gives customers the power to B.Y.O.D. (build your own donuts). The restaurant makes hundreds of mini donuts daily. Customers select what frosting, toppings, and drizzles top each donut, providing customers with all the power."

"With so many local donut shops and bakeries popping up, check local shops for more possible freebies and deals on the sweet day. Donutology – Kansas City, MO (Westport). Doughboy Donuts – Raytown, MO"

"Open since 1977, the Classic Cup Café is an award-winning restaurant known for their beautiful, scenic views and delectable food. Their acclaimed chefs offer classic yet dynamic menus made with fresh, local ingredients, traditional recipes, and invigorating cooking methods. Serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as brunch on the weekends, selections include items such as Florentine ham frittata, smoked turkey hot browns, and grits and grillades – Scimeca’s spicy grilled Italian sausage over Southern garlic cheese grits and house red sauce, served with two eggs any style."

"The Classic Cup Cafe had everything you could want for a perfect brunch on the Plaza. They are masters of making brunch perfection because they paired a Belgian waffle with grilled peach compote for a delicious and savory meal. It was a match made in heaven."

"It was sitting on the sidewalk patio of The Classic Cup that I first felt part of the city. People rushed past while I enjoyed a mimosa and a Dutch Baby pancake covered in fresh fruits. The longevity of the restaurant certainly gives it an established feel."

"Country Club PlazaFor days when the weather isn't perfect, Cafe Trio offers sanctuary. The Plaza-facing restaurant offers both an outdoor patio as well as a covered open air seating area that is enclosed and heated during cooler months. It would be remiss of us to not recommend the popular “Mac Daddy” bowl.CafeTrioKC.com"

"Whether rain or shine, Cafe Trio’s covered patio lets you enjoy the outdoors and view over Country Club Plaza no matter the weather."

"The beautiful multi-story space includes a café and Ibis Bakery, roastery and a roof deck with sweeping views of Liberty Memorial and Midtown Kansas City. Order classic espresso drinks, manual brews, seasonal house-made specials, or a perfect cup of drip with a fresh pastry. Drink it up on the roof terrace for pure perfection."

"We fell in love with Messenger Coffee Company and think it’s truly one of the most unique places to eat in Kansas City. This multi-floor space serves quality coffee and pastries, all made there in front of customers!. We loved how open it was, and thought the stairs were really cool."

"Messenger Coffee, a bakery, breakfast and brunch spot that offers coffee, tea and more, is another much-loved go-to, with 4.5 stars out of 271 Yelp reviews. Head over to 1624 Grand Blvd. to see for yourself."

"Their adorable airstream trailer is surrounded by colorful walls, a mural and year-round bright green turf. Capture the whole area or close in on little details for fun pops of color on your feed, and don’t forget to try the donuts. You won’t want to miss them!"

"Donut King has been a Kansas City staple since 1969 and their experience cements them in my favorite places. If that wasn’t enough, they have over 36 donut flavors – so you always have a reason to visit again. They also have a wide selection of pastries on the menu, which you’ll probably end up buying with your donut (that’s okay, I get it)."

"North Kansas City’s Donut King is a donut-lover's donut shop. (Try saying that three times fast.). For starters, it’s open an Iron Man-like 144 hours per week."

"Head to Mr. D’s if you want a creative and seasonally appropriate donut. Their great flavor is matched by the sheer amount of colored icing and sprinkles on the donuts (which count a nutella and a pineapple fritter on their unorthodox flavor list). my personal recommendation:"

"The chocolate twist is amazing and their blueberry donut may be even better than the ones at Lamar’s, which is saying something!. Their customer service is great. I messaged them my order the night before and was able to pick it up the next morning."

"Shawnee’s Mr. D’s made our tasters nostalgic with a nice balance of flaky and fluffy. “I would eat a dozen of these; they taste like childhood,” said one taster. Head there early, as they’re known to sell out due to high demand."

"Serving pizza from a Sicilian family recipe, Jimmy Jo’s focuses on customers “the most satisfying pizza they’ve ever tasted”. Unique sauces, market fresh ingredients and freshly made dough, gives even the simplest sausage pie that extra special something. Country Club Plaza/Brookside/Waldo"

"One of the best places to find New York style pizza in Kansas City. Try: Veggie or Fresh Mozzarella pizzas. 1209 W 47th St, Kansas City, MO 64112, 816-401-4483"

"The dining room at eight-year-old Story in Prairie Village is spacious, with neutral gray and silver tones, crisp white tablecloths and wine glasses at every place setting. It feels immensely proper, a vibe that belies the playful and interesting menu that chef and co-owner Carl Thorne-Thomsen offers. I can’t remember having better octopus than the version at Story: grilled with care and so tender, cut into easy pieces that you can drag through the silky golden yolk of a perfectly poached egg like a leaf floating on tranquil water."

"The outdoor patio at Story located in the Prairie Village Shops feels like European café culture come to life in Kansas City. Chefs Carl and Susan Thorne-Thompson have finally re-opened up their outdoor patio and indoor dining room for reservations and walk-in seating in addition to still offering curbside pick-up. Order a great bottle of wine from their award-winning list and pair it with a cooling ceviche and swordfish with celery root, butternut squash and wild rice."

"Chef Carl Thorne-Thomsen lets the ingredients and pairings tell the “story” at this local eatery. The chef and restaurant have won numerous awards. Leawood/Overland Park/Prairie Village"
