It’s been a busy season in KC’s food & beverage world– we’ve got the latest rundown of fresh faves to grab coffee, cocktails, tacos, burgers, sandos… you name it!
DISCO BURGER BROOKSIDE
The boys have graduated from the beef box! Disco’s Brookside brick and mortar is the perfect spot to post up for their namesake burgers, but their expanded menu hits just as hard– steak au pointe, dill ceasar salad, and crispy curry chicken cutler are just a few of the stars.

CLEO CLUB
Dim lighting, leopard vintage, and classic cocktails made right are the name of the game here.
2000 Grand Blvd
OVERLAND PARK FARMERS MARKET
OP market- a $34 million renovation debuted this summer, and the crowds are coming in full force. Enjoy the hustle and bustle while you browse a seemingly endless selections of vendors, or check it out on a Wednesday for a calmer experience that still offers plenty of fresh produce.

A contemporary tea house that invites you to slow down and savor your beverage as it was intended. It moonlights as Moon Bar, so don’t miss their stellar after dark cocktails as well.

dad’s bakeshop
Dad’s bakeshop recalls another era- wood paneling, lava lamps, and pastries made the good old fashioned way. Perhaps their best invention? Cake sandwiches, because cake should be eaten on the go.

CORNFLOWER BAKERY
Megan Garrelts new bakery debut, right next door to Rye Leawood, is giving her even more space to flex her baking talents. We all know her pie was some of the best– now you can sample cookies, quiche, brookies, tarts, and buns buns to boot.

PANINO DAVINO
Tuscan schiatta style sandwiches have entered the scene on 39th street, and they’re already a hit. Fluffy bread piled high with Italian cold cuts, served alongside an Amigoni spritz– what’s not to love here?

DEAR DONNA
There’s been much ado about dear Donna, and for good reason. Striking the perfect balance between nostalgia and modern cooking, their fresh menu offers exactly the array of bites you want to pick at over a leisurely lunch– or check out their new dinner service, making its debut this fall.
549 Gillis St
BEIRUT TACO
Fusion that really brings the flavor. The spice blend on the lamb Barbacoa is complex and beautiful, and the fresh watermelon feta salad will be on repeat for me all summer.
3904 Bell St
CASA AMA
Bringing color and fresh flavor to Corinth, Casa serves tacos, crudo, dips, salads and more. The coconut margarita is my personal favorite!

BIG GROVE BREWING
Big Grove Brewing is PV’s new powerhouse- packed with families and plenty of room for kids to run on the patio, it’s a great new addition to the shops.
