Mildred's Food + Drink

This was a fun find in more than one way. The urban rustic decor is my fav but so are cinnamon rolls. Always on the hunt for a good one. FOUND. I also had the chicken Chipotle wrap which was outstanding. But did I mention the cinnamon rolls??? My huge sweet tooth also wants to mention the choc chip cookies. The 2 of us will be back.

Went in on a snowy Saturday morning about midday. It was packed. We were going to eat in, but it is open seating and order at the counter and there is no organization to how you get a table. You basically just have to hover around a section and hope that there is unspoken code between others waiting, but while we were in the line I saw someone come in and cut in front of others waiting for a table while their other party joined the line. This could be better managed to avoid confrontations. The line moved pretty quick, but the people in front of you block the menu and so by the time you can see the menu you are about to be order. We ordered 2 coffees, a half sandwich, turkey chipotle wrap and the biscuits and gravy. About $45 total. The waiting area for coffee and take out is in front of the trash / utensils and so we constantly felt like we were in the way, and it was about a 15-20 min wait for food with coffee being half that time. The food was really good. The half turkey sandwich was loaded with a good amount of meat and cheese and was really fresh. The biscuits came with 2 pieces of bacon (snacked in them before the pic :p) and the wrap was also good. Overall it was good, but the hassle of a table and the long wait is the reason for the score.

The gooey butter cake was worth every bite. Great coffee. Modern, clean space. Kind staff.

Casual breakfast place, not extraordinary food, but well balanced in quality/price. A bit loud ln the inside, but overall nice place!

I had lunch here the other day and it was lovely I felt welcomed and the service was amazing. My employer gave me a gift certificate and I was super excited to come back. The cashier seemed irritated no engagement. Having worked for years in customer service. I felt devalued and even a bit looked down on. I left the interaction feeling bad. Which was such a great fall after walking in super excited about having another great experience. The gift certificate was a gift from my work for my birthday the first one I have ever been given by any employer. They didn't put any water in my espresso either. Just such a disconnect from the first time I came in.

Charming coffee shop with an extensive food menu. We only ordered a couple of mimosas since we'd already had breakfast elsewhere, but we wanted to experience this cozy place. There’s plenty of seating, and the kitchen is centrally located so you can watch your food being prepared. They also sell cute t-shirts, coffee beans, and other merchandise. The place was buzzing, and everyone seemed to be enjoying their coffee and food choices. Although there was a bit of a line when we arrived, we quickly ordered our drinks and found a cozy spot in the back room. The back room features an amazing fireplace and several quiet conversation nooks. We’d love to come back to try their food menu, but we're glad we stopped in for a quick drink!

First time here and we really enjoyed the food and our experience. I had the biscuits and gravy and my wife had the vegan breakfast wrap. Both were done perfectly and were very tasty. The coffee and iced tea were also very good. Service was friendly and attentive. This feels like a good place to sit and work or read for a couple of hours. We'll definitely be back.

The brunch Items I had were great. I’m a picky biscuits and gravy guy and these were great! The water they serve is room temp, which is not my fav, but you can ask for ice behind the counter if it’s not too busy. The atmosphere is fun, they have a great shaded outdoor seating area.

I've really been looking forward to trying Mildred's out and today was the day. Absolutely loved the visit today! Place was packed on a Thursday at 9:30 am. Pastries were fully stocked and food came out faster than I could find a table! I got the breakfast hash, cinnamon roll and a chai latte and didn't go wrong with any of my choices. Fun atmosphere and loved the fast paced volume of guests. Will definitely be back!

I like the open space. I also really like how the restaurant fills itself with natural light despite being a morning-inspired business in a bit of a cavernous building on the west side of the block. I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but I like ordering a bagel or a breakfast sandwich, grabbing a chair and taking 30-45 minutes to relax. Lunch options are available, however I haven't tried them yet. The staff is polite and happy to answer any questions.

Mildred's made a great seasonal menu coffee with their cherry blossom latte. Vibes in the shop were great with plenty of seating and fast public WiFi. Did not order food from my most recent visit but the vegan breakfast options sound yummy. Coffee came out quick and hot, ready to come back again and pair with with the breakfast menu Vegan friendly

Perfect place in Crossroads KC for a quick breakfast, lunch, pastry or coffee! Mildred's features a cute, open area with indoor and outdoor options, bar seating and plenty of tables. Walls are decorated with large murals, and the decor is modern and clean with a hipster vibe. We stopped by for brunch and ordered the vegan breakfast hash, guacamole chicken club, cold brew, and a brioche cinnamon bun. The vegan breakfast hash was perfect, a bed of arugula with scrambled tofu, soy chorizo and a delicious sauce to bring it all together. The brioche cinnamon bun was also a standout, perfectly flaky with a strong cinnamon flavor. The service at Mildred's is extremely friendly and quick, despite being relatively crowded.

A quick breakfast/ brunch spot. The vibe here seems to cater to younger people. The music is loud and the place is regularly packed. It's a fun spot to grab a quick bite if you can nab a good seat. The food hits the spot but is nothing to write home about. They've got some cool brunch drinks like a tank 7 mimosa and some good coffee and espresso drinks. I definitely recommend this place if you want a quick but solid breakfast near P&L or the Crossroads.

Everything I've gotten here had been delighted! The breakfast burrito is my go-to. I've started ordering it without the wrap and with the sauce on the side because they overdo it every time. It's a spicy creamy sauce that's so much tastier in a lesser amount.

Always caramel but this time with snickerdoodle... 20oz iced latte (light ice) prepared by a very kind Barista, I can't recall proper spelling of her name. The combo was quite delicious. She did a great job. This 20oz had 2 shots of espresso which is not what I'm used to but it was just fine. The chocolate chip banana bread is delicious

The inside is so cute, you order at the counter & they bring your food. I went on a Friday around brunch time (11-1) & it was busy! We found a spot for 2, but larger groups might struggle. I got the chipotle breakfast burrito, it was so good. I definitely want to try a pastry next time, they looked delicious!

Best coffee and best sandwiches (both breakfast and lunch)!!! I love the standard sandwich on a brioche bun. Downtown location has very minimal seating so I've preferred the crossroads location so far but truly can't go wrong with Mildred's.

I finally got to check out this spot last Sunday (a bit late in posting, but here it is!). A friend from the KC metro recommended it to me. The ambiance is really inviting, with plenty of seating for everything from intimate meals for two to larger gatherings of five or more. Their breakfast menu has some great options. After a 5K run that morning, I ordered the vegetarian sandwich, and it exceeded my expectations. The steamed eggs with pepper dijon mayo on toasted wheat bread were delicious. If you like a little spice, you can add sriracha for an extra kick, which I definitely did! I can't wait to return and try their coffee and pastries soon! Shoutout to the barista (s) at Mildred!

This place is always busy and for good reason - Coffee is a 5/5 7 days of the week! Only bumped Mildred's to a 4 for the food, still great, but a little room for improvement. If you aren't in a rush pull up chair at the big bar top and watch the team in action.

Came here and the man in front of me recommended the chipotle breakfast wrap which was amazing. Doesn't look very big but is quite filling. Eggs looked like they were made with a milk frother which is probably what made them so fluffy and the chipotle sauce was more savory than spicy. Drinks are called out to you and your food is brought to you. All the staff seemed pretty nice. Ambiance is more of an industrial style. Seating is self and they have counter space that looks into their open kitchen. Overall, not bad. I would come again.

I have always had an amazing experience at Mildred's. The breakfast? Phenomenal. The lunch? Incredible. The staff? Wonderful. The vibes? Unbeatable. This is by far one of the best places in KC.

Beautiful place for coffee!! Great coffee and huge seating area along with a fireplace. Awesome vibes, this place was bustling on a Wednesday morning.

Decent spot for coffee, breakfast and baked goods. Busy place and a bit loud, but welcoming. Has a back room with a firepit. The hash was decent but I think I'll try something different next time (probably one of the bfast sandwiches). Butter cake was okay, not the best. Coffee was on the sweeter side even with ordering half sweet, so keep that in mind when ordering. Would try again if meeting friends there.

Stopped in for brunch this morning with a couple of friends. I've been wanting to try Mildred's for a long time and glad I finally did. I got the chai cider, iced, which was delicious. It tasted like a perfectly spiced cider. I also got the biscuits & gravy and they are some of the best I've had. It's a pretty chill vibe in here as well. All of the staff we interacted with was friendly. I'll definitely be back.

Another cute as heck brunch spot / coffee shop checked off my list! KC does this extremely well, and Mildred's is no exception. The space is open and welcoming, and I love the fireplace room for warming up with a bakery treat! The gooey butter cake was EVERYTHING - sweet and buttery with a great texture. Everyone working there was kind and attentive, and service was generally speedy. I'm VERY appreciative of the vegan/vegetarian options Mildred's has, but a little bummed that everything vegan in KC has to also be spicy. I know I'm just a baby but there are other ways to add depth of flavor to veggie dishes!!! The spiciness of the vegan chorizo & tofu egg wrap overwhelmed any flavor I would have gotten from my seasonal coffee. It's just too much for breakfast IMO. Other than that, it was yummy, and my partner enjoyed his meat-ful breakfast wrap as well. I'll have to come back and try some of their other breakfast options again to see if there's something that tickles my extra sensitive taste buds!

On food alone, Mildred's is probably a 3.5-4-star rating. The iced latte I ordered actually had a smooth, robust, medium-roast espresso flavor, comparable to the quality of coffee you'd get at the Roasterie. The biscuits and gravy dish was flavorful, but I felt it was a bit overpriced. The gravy was also a bit too thick (too much roux or left heated for too long). I think what brings Mildred's down in rating is the location, the interior, and the wait. Mildred's only has street parking. At 8:10AM on a Thursday, I was able to find a spot after 5 minutes of looking. However, it was further away from the entrance than I'd hoped. As someone else mentioned, the noise level inside is quite high. I would not recommend eating/drinking inside if you're someone that's sensitive to sounds or is overstimulated easily. There is an area past a set of double doors that is a bit quieter, but I found it to be too warm in that area. Lastly, this place is NOT for someone in a hurry. It took around 25-30 minutes to receive my order. Overall, I don't see myself going out of my way to visit Mildred's. I think there are other breakfast cafes that scratch the itch without the hassle or wait.

Mildred is a go to breakfast option for my family whether we dine in or order it to go. Lately we've mostly eating at the restaurant. A big reason we eat there is they've added additional seating so there's less jockeying for a seat. The food is so good. Here's what I order most often: chipotle breakfast wrap, biscuits, and gravy, cinnamon roll, breakfast potatoes, and steamed eggs. I also enjoyed the coffee, and I like my coffee black, iced or hot. It does get super busy on the weekends, but the additional seating makes it easier to eat there. But from what I've seen, they get a high volume of orders to go. to go orders are always fulfilled in a timely manner by the great staff.

We arrived on Tuesday morning around 10 am and the place is steady. Walk up ordering, many choices so take the time to look. Breakfast served all day was the highlight. I ordered their classic sandwich with wheat bread, it contains steamed eggs, bacon, cheese, just delicious. The salad is beautiful with Parmesan cheese, radishes, cucumbers, tomatoes.this is a must stop if you are visiting the area!

Easily one of the best iced dirty chais with oat that I have had. Their food was on the more $$ side and portions were smaller than expected; however, the flavors were incredible. I would highly recommend their avo toast because their balsamic glaze was so good and only wish the toast they put it on was a little more thick. The vegan hash was okay, but with a little hot sauce so much better. It is loud in the main area so go past the double doors and it is significantly more quiet there.

It's hard to believe that this weekend was my first trip to this Mildred's location. I have tried before, but the parking situation in this part of the Crossroads usually kept me driving around until I gave up and settled for other coffee joints a few blocks south or east. Next time, I'll try a bit harder or walk a couple of blocks because I absolutely fell in love with the vibe of this place. Much more than just a coffee shop, the breakfast, brunch and lunch menus looked awesome. Seeing an 8 lb. tray of bacon setting under the heating lamps sealed the deal for a return trip for food. I was going to take my dirty Chai latte and keep moving up the street to get some XMas shopping done, but I decided to sit at the bar and just soak up a Sunday afternoon people watching and admiring the food coming out of the kitchen. Five stars for everything that I would want in an urban diner. See ya soon Mildred.

I live in crossroads and always wanted to try this place! Was able to walk over but seems that there's a lot of street parking. We went on a Sunday around noon and there was a minimal line and we were able to order right away. I got the standard breakfast sandwich and my friend got the vegetarian one. They both hit the spot and were delicious. Just wish they were a bit large in portion size. The design inside is really fun, and has a mix of sit down seating and bar seating. I would definitely love to come back

Our daughter had told us about Mildred's. It's a trendy breakfast/lunch cafe. Cool atmosphere. I ordered the guacamole chicken club and a cup of clam chowder. The clam chowder was really good. I didn't care for the chicken club. I didn't look at the menu closely and missed that they used chicken thigh on the sandwich. Personal preference. My husband ordered biscuits and gravy with a side of bacon. They got the ordered mixed up but fixed it quickly with no issue. I ended up eating half of the biscuits and gravy since I liked it better than my sandwich. The biscuits and gravy were tasty. Mildred's served the prettiest bacon. It was like picture perfect. Perfectly crispy and tasty. The service was great. No issues with the order mixup. If you're in the area, check them out.

I Have Been Looking To Visit Mildred's For Months And So Happy I Stopped In! The Photo Ops Were SO Cute And Created A Casual And Cute Vibe. I Visited Mildred's with My Best Friend After Her Long Morning Of Travel. Mildred's Vibe Is Inviting And The Servers Were Kind And Were So Helpful With Questions! We Ordered The Brisket Sloppy Joe And Chipotle Breakfast Wrap Along With A Snickerdoodle Latte. The Sloppy Joe Was A Special And It Was Decent. Considering KC Is The BBQ City I Was Expecting A Little More But It Is A Breakfast Spot So It Was Fine! The Burrito Though Was TOP TIER! It Was Flavorful, HOT, And The Textures Were Spot On!

Omg, this spot wasted no time with the cute decor! Immediately, as soon as you walk into the building, there are so many photo ops. There's a comfortable, friendly open vibe when you walk in, and the staff is super joyful and friendly. My best friend and I came for a casual lunch and we got the chipotle breakfast burrito as well as the brisket sloppy Joe. The burrito was a flavor bomb.. I can definitely see why it's a fan favorite, I mean I could still taste how particularly seasoned the potatoes were and how fluffy the eggs were. The brisket sloppy Joe was decent, but the flavor kind of got repetitive. My bestfriend bought a coffee, and she said it also got consistent with the flavor. Other than that, the vibes were great for students or someone who maybe works for home.

Was hoping to have a good brunch with friends, but sadly this is not a brunch place. It's mainly a chaotic coffee shop that serves room temp tap water with no ice. We all decided not to drink alcohol here because we would have to wait in the long slow line to order more drinks. Sadly the food is not any better. I ordered the breakfast hash and got a arugula salad with maybe 10 pieces of stale potatoes. Friends got some soup that they could not finish. Best part of our meal was when we left.

The service is friendly and accommodating ! Although it was packed they managed to get my food out hot and quickly. I'm not a vegetarian but i love mushrooms, so i tried this panini . A cashier suggested to add the chipotle sauce on it and it did not disappoint! The lemonade was not good, I'm not a huge fan of bitter/sour lemonade. The outdoor seating was perfect for the beautiful weather!

Mildred's #potatohash is a pleasant surprise with a mix of fresh arugula, bacon bits, potato , and special sauce. Great atmosphere to match their reasonable prices makes @mildreds a great place to eat, socialize, and most of all give yourself a break from #hustleandbustle.

It was pretty busy, and a bit chaotic, but there were some really fun pastry and drink options that we grabbed on our way out of town.

got a chipotle burrito to go, really good filling burrito! service was good and quick. super bright and spacious inside!

I decided to give Mildred's a try after friends raved to me about the breakfast sandwiches here! Service was good and food came out quickly. You order at the counter and then find a seat to wait for your meal. I ordered the standard breakfast sandwich on sourdough after a lengthy internal debate (several other menu items sounded delicious and require a second trip). I was happy with my choice - the sandwich came stuffed with a generous amount of fluffy steamed egg and bacon. While good, it was the toasted sourdough and aioli that made it for me and provided great flavor. However, it felt a little steep at nearly $9 for a pretty simple sandwich. There was lots of activity here when I visited on a Saturday morning. It was very crowded, loud, and people were ruthless when it came to snagging seating - so take this into consideration when visiting on a weekend. I'd like to come back during the week and experience it again when it's a little less chaotic.

I love Mildred's. They are my go to breakfast sandwich place. The classic sandwich is unmatched. I'm not sure how they make their steamed egg but it's perfection every time. They staff is always pleasant and helps me open my kombucha . I typically order online and swoop in to pick it up. There's construction going on down there so be aware of that. They like to take up some of the parking.

We visited Mildred's after getting a recommendation from our hotel's valet attendant. Mildred's is a hip place not too far from Union Station. They offer a nice selection of breakfast and lunch items. It's kind of a Ma and Pa version of Panera. I had the Chile basil breakfast sandwich and had a bite of my husband's side order of potatoes. The potatoes were very good. The sandwich wasn't bad but it was nothing that made me think I need to come back. Mildred's is popular. By the time we finished eating the line to order had wrapped around and was out into their vestibule. If you are looking for a quick, healthy breakfast Mildred's is a good option.

Nice decor and vibe, warm on a cold winter morning. The standard breakfast sandwhich on brioche (you have a choice of breads) was good, especially the mayo/mustard sauce. Coffee was good and hot!

Mildred's is a phenomenal spot work work remote, have a quick business sync, sip on coffee with friends, or to simply eat one of their amazing lunch/breakfast options! The breakfast burrito is a fan favorite. The space is very clean & has a modern look. Service is always friendly and quick (even if the line looks busy). Did you know you could even order a spiked coffee along with other adult brunch beverages?? Might be my favorite coffee shop in KC!

I've been here three or four times this is the first time I've tried anything other than the breakfast burrito the sausage and gravy biscuits and gravy is good but the eggs really taking over the top the issue is since they're steamed eggs they just put the cheese on the top and it doesn't actually melt so you have to put it in the microwave (provided by the restaurant) and then Stir It Up and then add it to the meal it adds some cumbersome steps to it the chocolate chip cookie is no Bueno very hard cookie even after being warmed up the banana bread is phenomenal as always

I've heard about Mildred's by word of mouth a lot lately, so I had to venture and go try! My friend and I went at 11:30--the perfect time for breakfast or lunch, which Mildred's happily delivers on (they serve breakfast all day). My friend got the Cubano with a side salad, and I got the notorious chipotle breakfast burrito, which lived up to the hype, and a breakfast michelada--I mean, why not! I am the sort that always wants salsa or some hot sauce with my breakfast burrito, but otherwise, it was delish, and the michi was great. There was nothing left on mine or my friend's plates at the end, which tells you something. The inside area is super cute with a few tables, some for small groups and others for larger groups/multi group sitting. There is also a bar seating area, which was filled with people working on their computers. There is also an outdoor seating area with a fire pit--it is open air, so depending on the weather outside, it could be a treat to sit out there! Mildred's is in a fun area of the Crossroads, not far from Kauffman Performing Arts Center, and the day we visited, I had to park pretty close to the Arts District Garage, so parking can take a few minutes to find depending on when you go! Thanks for a great experience, Mildred's! I'll definitely be back to try more of those breakfast/brunch alcoholic beverages!

Ordered on Uber and they didn't actually deliver. Didn't sync to uber eats so couldn't file a complaint. Called Mildred's who basically said too bad. Out $50 and most importantly out a much needed Millys cafe au lait. Recommend not using uber eats for your delivery service.

Second time back to Mildred's and definitely a great little spot to visit in KC! Super packed and all for a good reason! The chipotle egg wrap was delicious and a good mix of flavor with the spices and chipotle aioli inside. Honestly, I crave it so often and highly recommend. Next is the vegetarian breakfast sandwich. Definitely can not go wrong with it, but did not blow my socks off. It is just a good classic sandwich and would not be a wrong choice in the slightest.

Very cool spot. They serve breakfast all day. And the staff are bubbly and fun. This is way better than a simple coffee shop if you need to park it for some weekend work time. Fun shop plus a back room with a large indoor fire pit. Had the famous breakfast burrito and it didn't disappoint. Honestly wanted to try the whole menu

I was here on Sunday and not only was the food and coffee amazing, the music was bumping!! They starter my Sunday off right! Whoever was on aux keep it up!

This place is a great place to study, vibe or even have meetings (back room). The noise level is average & they even have some music playing in the background. Its really cute in here. I love the orange chairs as they match most of the wall paint. The food is amazing.. normally I would the breakfast hash, but my friend talked me into the wrap & I LOVED IT! I will order that again. My frappe was also pretty yummy as well. The waitress & waiters were extremely helpful & fast at bringing our food! I will definitely come back & dine in again!

I usually get the hash but changed it up and got the quiche and wasn't disappointed! SOOO good! As always! Or course it was a little busy since it was a Saturday but we still found a spot to sit as it was well worth it. Such a fun spot!

The food was great!Love the service and the staff!The restaurant was very beautiful and was very cozy!Definitely recommend the tomato soup!Hope you will go and enjoy it!

Food was great, and service was good. Have tried going back again with long line the second time, so be prepared! Good sign!

Expect a wait but the food was almost worth it. My mom and I went to Mildred's on Sunday at about 1 pm and waited for about 30 minutes in line. Once we ordered our food it was ready in probably less than 10 minutes. I ordered the Vegan Hash (pictured) which I enjoyed and my mom got a Tofu Glazed Bahn Mi which was a "special" so potentially not on the regular menu. It was ok, I'm not a fan of cold tofu, so it wouldn't be something I order. I'll definitely visit again because I appreciate the vegan options, but beware of weekend brunch (as expected) it will be a wait.

Mildred's is a cafe I've heard about often and this summer I finally made the time to check them out! I like this location better, as there's more space to do work and study if needed. I tried their chile-basil sandwich and literally reminded me of my favorite egg sandwich from a cafe that I would frequent in college. This sandwich is SO good! Coffee is good, but I would just come back to order this breakfast sandwich. My food came out pretty fast and the staff was all super nice! Cute cafe and decent place to get some work done if needed, or a meet-up for lunch/brunch/breakfast, whatever!

Mildred's is a Kansas City staple, and it doesn't disappoint. There is a vast menu full of breakfast at sandwich options. I got the "Standard Breakfast Sandwich". I was a little bit disappointed that there weren't bagel sandwich options, but there are plenty of other options that will sure hit the spot. They use steamed eggs, so they are light and fluffy. I love the atmosphere here. The service was quick, even while it was really busy on a Sunday morning. I will be going back to try the coffee next!
