Banksia - Downtown

I want to live here so I can try everything on the menu…. Every amazing bite. We had incredible truffle eggs Benedict, Cuban confit pork Sandwich and zucchini corn fritter. - passionfruit curd tart. Every bite was amazing. Even the side of black beans was special. Best bacon I ever had.

I was looking for something unique for breakfast. I'm on the road a lot and didn't want another hotel meal. So I walked a couple of blocks an stumbled on this restaurant. It looked really inviting from the outside, so I thought why not. I entered obviously unfamiliar asked about breakfast. Immediately, the young lady made me feel as though I was interrupting her. Almost like I had done something inappropriate, I was just taking a moment to acclimate. She could have said "hello" or "good morning" anything but there was no welcome. She could have maybe just politely pointed out the breakfast menu, but I found it on my own. I got a quiche and ordered the ricotta hot cakes. She informed me it would take up to 15mins, I had time so why not. They actually took 25mins with only six people in the restaurant, two of which had already eaten. I got to thinking if you have a breakfast item that takes that long then why have it on a menu. When the hot cakes came out she didn't literally throw them down, but it felt that way. I don't know this person, but for some reason she was put off by me, not sure why. She put tye food down, it was very impersonal, not even an "enjoy" or these are "great ". Like food being slopped on a tray. With all that said, the food was good, the coffee smooth and approachable. The atmosphere a decor pleasant. I'm just assuming that older well traveled, well educated, well kept Hispanic males, don't fit the demographic they want to attract.

Wonderful employees and amazing food! The best biscuits & gravy I've ever had and the breakfast burrito portions are big and a great value!

A little quiet bakery with absolutely astounding food! We got the biscuits and gravy - the BEST biscuits and gravy we've ever had. So delicious, the biscuit was baked to perfection and the gravy was packed with flavor. I also got a vanilla custard tart and they were so good I bought 2 more to take home for later. The beef and cheesy potato pie was delicious as well, but the biscuits and gravy really were the star here.

This place in an absolute gem, amazing food and coffee I can't recommend this unique spot enough!

Such a refreshing dining experience to stumble upon while visiting KC. Can’t speak more highly of the food - which I can only describe as an explosion of flavour in my my mouth- I had the truffle eggs Benedict - and my partner loved the corn fritters and the coffee was delicious. My partner commented the pastries were so fresh and reminiscent of the quality we enjoyed on a recent trip to France. Wonderful service from super friendly staff - well done to the owner- KC needs more cafes like this.

I work for a couple that was from Australia they turn me on to this place and I tell you what I love it definitely go back good experience for Australia here in Missouri
