As a girl with a german grandmother and someone who loves eating german cuisine, this is the most authentic in the KC area. Always delicious and transports me back to Ansbach each bite. Family favorite, including my mom who has a gluten allergy!
I had always wanted to try this place. I was beyond disappointed. The sushi had brown rice which I don’t like. I saw other people’s food and they had white so it would have been nice to know I had a choice since ALL rice is gluten free. I asked for gluten-free soy sauce and was assured it was but then had a reaction later so it obviously wasn’t. None of the workers were friendly nor welcoming. What truly turned my stomach was watching workers fill water glasses by literally pressing the water pitcher down on each glass where people drink thus spreading germs. I appreciate music and a good vibe but it was obnoxiously loud. Super HARD pass.
The food here is absolutely amazing, and the service is wonderful as well! Everything is vegan, and there are a couple of menu items that can be made gluten free, or are already gluten free! It's a great place to go if you want comfort food like burgers or chicken fingers!
We were able to sit outside and if you are worrying about gluten allergy, this restaurant takes great care to keep the prep stations separate to keep from cross contamination.
Good amount of gluten-free options, including actually-good GF toast (still rare!), and a selection of desserts. The service and atmosphere were lovely. The prices were a bit steep for the type of food and drink offered, but ultimately, it was understandable given the location and likely overhead costs.
My favorite food item was the mushroom-beet toast. Haven't had anything like it before, and I was pleasantly surprised!
What an amazing find! After reading Lisa See’s book, The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane last year, I’ve been wanting to taste Pu-erh tea. I was pleasantly surprised to find it at Shang’s Tea House in Kansas City!! I had a cup of the White Tea Pu-erh and it did not disappoint! I also had the unique experience of tasting a moon cake too, which was very good. (I got a gluten free one). The owner of the store was onsite and was very warm and welcoming!! If you’re visiting downtown Kansas City and want a unique experience, definitely visit this store located in the Crown Center plaza!!
Great atmosphere! Lots of natural light & cute plants.
- Serves Messenger coffee.
- Espresso machine: La Marzocco Linea Classic.
- Food options: Bakery items (including gluten friendly options) and a full menu which looks ideal for brunch.
- Pet friendly; there’s a dog park out front.
- Seating: Efficient seating indoors; although the building is small the seating didn’t feel crowded. There’s lots of outdoor seating too.
I’m not a BBQ expert, but it was GREAT and all their meats and sauces are gluten free!! They also have WiFi, added bonus for the work traveler looking to work and eat!
Great location. I wish we found it sooner. Love the atmosphere, had a fun shaded outdoor deck area, and an awesome beer and cocktail selection that are yummy. They even had a gluten free section. We will be back when in town.
