Great brunch spot! Right next to the Boho Loft! Farm to table entrees, great coffee, great Bloody Mary's and Mimosas. There is outdoor patio seating or indoor seating. It gets packed because it is a local favorite and a staple in the Rivermarket! My best advice is to go there early on a Saturday or Sunday, put your name on the waitlist, go walk around the Farmer's Market and they'll text you 10 min before your table is ready to give you ample time to make your way back!

One of my favorite local coffee shops! You can smell their coffee as soon as you step outside the building in the mornings! I get the vanilla latte, but they have a large list of many different coffees and pastries!

I've had a lot of BBQ since moving to KC a couple years ago, but Q39 is hands down, my favorite! You can not go wrong here! Try their burnt ends, if they have any left! They sometimes sell out because it's one of their most popular plates!
