Nibbling my way through some interesting places in Kansas City.
No, I didn’t eat the barbecue Kansas City is famous for. With the size of my sweet tooth, I needed other kinds of places to satisfy the sugar craving! Fortunately there are cool places for all kinds of food in Kansas City – here are a few of them!
Coffee:
The food-savvy boyfriend directed my attention to Messenger Coffee & Ibis bakery. They’re closed Mondays and Tuesdays but I was able to slip in Wednesday morning and thanks to their wifi, spent a productive morning!
Their building is amazing, with not only the sunlight-filled downstairs area but a second level and a rooftop terrace with a roaring fireplace.
Ice Cream:
There were plenty of amazing ice cream and fro-yo places in town, but my favorite was Glace.
It’s a small shop, but it’s packed to the corners with creative flavors and warm, caring staff! If you’re looking for a friendly smile on the Kansas City food scene, you can find it here. I loved this place for the atmosphere as much as for the ice cream.
Chocolate:
There’s a chocolatier in town: Christopher Elbow Artisan Chocolates. They advertise espresso and chocolate – how can you go wrong with that? I drove to that part of town (parked in a dubious spot that involved walking through an alley – not my favorite) and yes, this store is amazing. A threat to the wallet, but amazing.
The chocolate is so beautiful but also bursting with flavor.
For such a high end store, their presentation – chocolates on a napkin, espresso in a paper cup – was a little bit strange to me, but the quality was still amazing!
As you can see, Kansas City is a great place to satisfy a sweet tooth! I definitely enjoyed eating my way around town.
