My SO had the green curry and I had the fancy cakes(which are SO BIG you likely only need one), and both were delicious. The neighborhood is violently Portlandia, but the food's worth it.

Beautiful setting in the heart of KC. I’m a native here and I just found this place for the first time while looking for gluten free vegan options . Such a cute store in a very cute neighborhood !

Ashley

The 17th St was amazing, and I was told the Day After scramble was also delicious. Service was friendly but a little slow. I'll definitely be coming back

Josh A

Very tasty and definitely veggie friendly (also has carnivore fare). Salmon Benedict was awesome. Cool vibe inside and interesting breakfast cocktails .

Really well done on a switch, a year ago things were bad, but today(1/17/15) went in after 7 months away. Place looks sharp, food was once again fantastic, and service was so much better.

SF

Amazing food. I loved the potato bowl (minus the feta ). So good and so filling!

Simple yet innovative beef , seafood and vegetarian entrees are served with unusual vegetables , herbs, sauces and sides.

Nick George

Chicken and biscuit with mushrooms was really good

Queen Sarah

After ascertaining that Lauren was working, we ordered the coffee , and it was wonderful. We were informed that the coffee is excellent even when Lauren is not working. Agree the French Toast is great!

Michael Grimaldi

Outstanding food in a comfy , hip-cool setting.

Christina Castillo

Vegan mashed potatoes are off the chain!

Kimber Satter

Great French toast ! And the house eggs Benedict was delicious

Scott Tanos

You can't go wrong with anything on the menu!!! What an awesome place!

Casey

Best French toast of my life, I also recommend the Bloody Mary and ask for Tyler!

John B

Sure this is healthy, local, veg friendly food. But try the meat loaf . Or meat loaf Benedict on Sunday. Just sayin

Ashley Campbell

Try the biscuits and gravy ...it's amazing AND vegetarian ! Also the 17th Street Benedict is quite delish.

Sara Titzell

One of the best places for Sunday brunch in the city ! Try the salmon benedict !

Chris Lewman

Try the Potato Scramble - #vegetarian scramble with garlic , spinach and feta

ᴡ McGree

The trio is a slice of KC and flavor.

AJ Vanderhorst

Go to the Blue Bird Bistro and order the rib-eye steak , medium rare. Top it off with the apple dessert pastry and, if Lauren is working, get coffee .

Vanessa Davanzo

The burger eggs Benedict was delicious. Coffee just average

Chris Lewman

Try the Biscuits and Gravy - Love these #vegetarian biscuits and gravy

Travis Holcomb

Friendly staff and fairly quiet

AJ Vanderhorst

Add an egg or in-house sausage to your potatoes or biscuits & gravy ...well worth it.

A D Matthews

I had the biscuits and gravy with sausage . It was awesome

Natalie George

Who knew PB&J could go anywhere but the kids' menu? The Seasonal PB&J is delicious!

Mike Lundgren

Small plates at the bar :)

Woody

Get the Bacon . No, seriously. GET THE BACON .

Mat Ellis

Always order some french toast for the table. On the rare occasions any is leftover it tastes even better the next day.

Amos Family F.H.

The biscuits & gravy w/ mushroom gravy .... Delish!

Jared Sloan

It takes about 20 minutes to get water and an additional 45 to get some eggs .

Chris Lamberth

Great locally-sourced food, lots of good beers on tap, great cocktails. My go-to is the burger with a side of macaroni and cheese (because it's too good to pass up). - Refe
