We had the pleasure of using McLain’s Bakery for our wedding cake and beautiful royal icing cookies. From our initial consult with Grace to our tasting, where the staff graciously accommodated my parents attending with us, to the final products, we were impressed by the clarity of communication, support, encouragement, and delivery. We selected almond cake with raspberry filling and almond buttercream, and McLain’s delivered a gorgeous cake in the Lambeth style we’d requested. The cake was perfect, beautiful, and delicious. The cookies — in shapes of wedding rings, champagne glasses, and wedding cakes — were also a huge hit. We can’t thank the team enough for being an integral part of our special day. We were also delighted to learn that on our first wedding anniversary, they’ll provide a small cake in the same flavor — so wonderful and exciting! Thank you, McLain’s! We’re your biggest fans!

We hired McLain’s as our wedding cake vendor and could not be more pleased with the experience. We ended up getting a 5-layer cake (and 5 FLAVORS!!) which was one of my favorite pieces of our wedding. We also did the to-go tasting option which was so fun and helpful for choosing the flavors (did I mention we had 5!!) Their team was communicative, answered all my questions, and made the day-of process easy and seamless. Also LOVE that you get to order a cake on your 1-year anniversary.

I love a good bakery and McLain’s had some pretty amazing choices with equally great prices, too. The retail section had so many cute holiday-themes goodies. I got a chocolate croissant to pair with my coffee and it was the best start to my morning.

McLain’s Bakery is a staple that I visit every time I’m in Kansas City. The food is always fresh, and the overall vibe makes it a great spot for breakfast, a quick bite, or even to hang out and get some work done.
The coffee is solid, the pastries are delicious, and the atmosphere is consistently welcoming. I’ll definitely keep coming back and always recommend it.

Really disappointed with my recent visit. The Market Wrap had almost no flavor and left a bitter aftertaste. The tortilla tasted stale, and the hummus was bitter with a hint of heat, with no balancing flavors. Spring greens and sweet potato falafel were surprisingly bland, and the falafel had a strange, gummy texture. Nothing came together — no umami, no natural sweetness, not even a touch of salt. I’m honestly surprised by how well they managed not to bring out the natural flavors of any of the ingredients. I can’t believe this could be served to customers.
Their old vegetarian burritos used to have sweet potato cubes that added flavor and balance — this wrap was the complete opposite.
The side of homemade chips was a good portion but was soaked in oil and completely unseasoned, leaving them heavy and greasy instead of crisp and tasty. It’s one thing if the unseasoned chips had a pleasant natural flavor — but they didn’t.
The plain croissant was served cold, with a dense, bready texture more like a grocery store roll than a bakery pastry. The plain cold brew coffee had an artificial caramel-like aftertaste and felt overpriced given its flavor and quantity.
Even the self-serve water tasted off — chalky and unfiltered, leaving an unpleasant coating in my throat for an hour. The tables were also not wiped down by staff, so I had to use a napkin to clean crumbs from the table and stools before sitting.
Overall, the food and drinks were poorly executed and flavorless. This place used to be much better, but this visit was a major letdown.

Out of towner, visiting for a friend’s bday and I wanted to bring a cake. Did some online research and found Mclains, and I am so happy I chose to get a cake here. First of all the price was great. It was an amazing cake, so beautiful and so delicious. Everyone attending the party who tried it said it’s perfect! Moist, fluffy, not too sweet, just perfect!
Also the service was great, from my first email with them until I came to pick it up from the bakery! And they have great coffee too!

My husband and I got our wedding cake from McLains and it was INCREDIBLE. It looked exactly as I wanted with our EXACT wedding colors used. It also tasted so, so good as well. Pricing was reasonable and the staff was so nice. (See attached photos for our cake and my reaction )

Too many instances like this have happened for me not to leave a review. Mclains used to be a repeat visit for me but lately either the food is worst quality or I get the wrong order all together. Like I said I can brush it off when it’s a one time instance but who has the time to get home notice everything that is wrong with the order and drive back. Especially after paying $45 for 2 people just to have lunch. For one I ordered the chicken bacon wrap but received like a lettuce with hummus wrap?? And they charge extra for cold foam on the coffee but don’t even put it on there. To go isn’t convenient if you have to stay and fix everything that’s wrong. Before this on another occassion I did end up driving back because a whole meal was missing from my bag.

Recently purchased a custom cake order for my sisters baby shower. Wonderful experience; went back and forth via email on the design (to match the invite we sent), the flavors (did half one flavor, half another) and pick-up date time. They also gave me tips on driving 1.5 hours with it, to ensure it was good to go upon arrival to the venue. Even the staff ooh’d and aah’d over it as I was leaving. Evidence of the taste – 2 small pieces left at the end of the shower! Thanks McClains! Love living by the OG location and getting to experience you weekly, but you went up and above for the cake!!

The pastries. The cookies. The coffee. Excellent! The space is great just a little chilly.
But this is a gem in KC. And the Girl Breakfast is the best of all the good things to eat for all genders!
