‘Cozy’s Cafe’ promotes friendly atmosphere, but food proves to be a let down

Nestled next to a residential area on 75th Street just before Metcalf, “Cozy Café” is easy to miss when you’re hit with a nice view of Petco and O’Reilly Autoparts. Judging by the exterior of this brand new and remodeled diner, which opened in August 2009, I wasn’t expecting anything [...]

You can have your cupcakes... and eat them too

You can have your cupcakes… and eat them too

Teadrops
Not an inch of paint can be seen behind the rows and rows of plants and flowers making up one of the walls at Teadrops.
This was the first thing I noticed as I walked in. I had never before seen the wall of a store purely dedicated to shelves of plants. Anywhere else, this may [...]

Waldo's The Coffee Girls and Westwood's Hi-Hat are coffee havens

Waldo’s The Coffee Girls and Westwood’s Hi-Hat are coffee havens

HiHat coffeehouse is a less-is-more kind of place.  A one-room small brick cottage,  Hi Hat makes up for it’s lack of space with it’s friendly baristas, eclectic decor and an inviting coffee aroma.
Driving down State Line Road, just a few blocks North of Shawnee Mission Parkway, it’s easy to overlook the tiny building. There are [...]

Sophomore enjoys organic summer treats

Upon arriving at the corner of 17th and Summit, a small fenced-in garden visible through a wall of bushes chirps with lazy activity. Small red signs reading “Snow Cones, 2-9 Sat” point customers through a vine-covered canopy and toward a small vintage trailer with soft, hipster music playing and a more pronounced sign of a [...]

Great Harvest Bread Company

Great Harvest Bread Company

Walking into the Great Harvest Bread Company is like walking into your grandma’s house — minus the porcelain figurines and coo-coo clocks — if your grandma is one that bakes fresh bread daily. I was hit with an encompassing aroma of yeast used to make it. The atmosphere was very welcoming and quaint, with nearly [...]

Pizza Fusion, a green pizza joint, is impressive  in aesthetics, but somewhat lacking in taste

Pizza Fusion, a green pizza joint, is impressive in aesthetics, but somewhat lacking in taste

On my way to out-in-the-middle-of-nowhere, Leawood, I was giddy with anticipation. I’d heard so many great things about Pizza Fusion, like the food was tasty and the atmosphere was, “tight.” I was hoping it would live up to my expectations.
When I walked into Pizza Fusion, I was delighted and overwhelmed with the modern and green [...]

Frozen yogurt bar in the One Nineteen shopping center offers 4 flavors and 22 topping choices, providing everyone with something they will like

Walking up to Mochi-Yo, I knew it wasn’t your typical ice cream parlor. Sitting outside under a hip sign reading ‘Mochi-Yo’ were tangerine-toned chairs accompanying crisp white tables. Unique, up-scale stores like Solstice Sunglass Boutique and Natural Body Shop framed Mochi-Yo in the newer section of Town Center.
Stepping inside, I immediately felt stylish.  Lime green [...]
