3 Best Bakeries in Kansas City, MO

We couldn't have been more thrilled with our wedding cake and welcome party cookies from McLain's. We are long time bakery customers but their wedding experience has made us customers for life. From the first interaction at our tasting with Grace, all the way to delivery, McLain's exceeded all expectations. We ordered enough cake for about 120% of our guest count, knowing that usually you only need to account for 60% and we only left the venue with a handful of pieces that were carefully boxed for us. Both flavors were incredible and the tiered cake for cutting was absolutely stunning. Thank you again, McLain's and specifically Grace, for all your efforts.

I’ve eaten at McLain’s before but had never ordered from the bakery. I ordered a smash cake for my daughter’s 1st birthday and she loves Frozen. They brought my idea to life in this cake! It was beautiful inside and out. It was marble with blueberry filling and was DELICIOUS! My daughter LOVED it. Thank you bakery staff for making my daughter’s smash cake perfectly and adding to a successful birthday. I’ll never get this day again so it means a lot.

We had our wedding cake and desserts made here and am so glad we did! Wedding cake, groom's cake, gluten free cupcakes, truffles, and traditional wedding cake cookies. The designs of the cakes were executed flawlessly. You won't regret your choice.

The mochi donut holes are TOO DIE FOR. The texture is just like a donut, but when tasting and chewing the inside, it’s just like mochi! The monthly flavors make it always a treat to try something new every month! The chocolate chip cookies that are just bagged up already are amazing and topped with chucks of sea salt(that’s how you know it’s a good cookie). The mango matcha pastry is flaky with a fruity inside filling that pairs perfectly together! The guava cheese pastry also tastes fruity with a crispy baked exterior! The pictures are from the past two months, and all the flavors are so unique and versatile! Definitely a recommended spot, even if a little shady area.

Everything that you see online looks the exact same at the bakery. The croissants are light and airy and so delicious. I tried the sausage and gravy croissant the goat cheese and caramelized onion pastry and the pulled pork pastry, cream cheese danish the ham and cheese croissant and the blueberry croissant which is one of my favorites. The customer service is great. The food there looks very rich and the taste to match. If you're going to the grocery store to get your pastries I would say don't cheat yourself treat yourself and check them out.

So amazing. Best baked goods I’ve tried. I try and stop by every time I’m in KC.
