The Classic Cup Cafe

We had a really enjoyable experience here (excluding the hostess who lacked all personality and couldn't even say hi).  We ordered the Breakfast Tacos (House braised pulled pork, flour tortillas, salsa verde, queso fresco, scrambled eggs, avocado). It came with 2 tacos that were Super tasty and fresh. It lacked a little zing and so I asked for some hot sauce. We also ordered the Low Carb Veggie Scramble (Two eggs scrambled with seasonal vegetables and sprinkled with feta cheese.) nice fresh veggies- good hearty breakfast. An extra little side of something would have been nice with the meals (fruit, potatoes, toast or something).  Drip coffee was good. Our server was nice and attentive, never had an empty glass. Would recommend to anyone for brunch. We'd assume lunch and dinner would be enjoyable too. Again, only complaint was the Eeyore hostess. More...

DELICIOUSSSSSS always one of my favorite spots to go to while in KC have a great breakfast and lunch menu!!! The mac and cheese is DEVINE! ! especially if you add bacon to it bacon added to anything is a winner for me!! This time though I tried their omelette which was VERY filling a little bit on the greasy side though for me but I do love their potato fries, they don't skimp on them at all!! If you like bigger potatoes this is your cup of tea but if you like more of that more crunch than potato ratio I wouldn't recommend!! Their drinks however are pretty pricey almost $10 just for their Godiva hot chocolate sadly I will have to pass there but will be back for some mac and cheese of course!! More...

I absolutely love this place.. the only draw back is the coffee.. Being a coffee lover, the coffee they offer is extremely bland. I added a side of Greek yogurt to my order and I wish it was listed as sweet yogurt.. not what I wanted or expected. The yogurt tasted more like fruit dip than Greek plain yogurt. Other than the coffee and Greek yogurt, the food was great. I did not get an opportunity to take a picture because I ate it too fast. I ordered peach compote Belgian waffles.. which they were sold out of the peach compote.. (Super disappointed) The waffles were crunchy, just the way I like them. The portion is enough for 1 person, and no leftovers. The waffles did come with bacon but I gave it to my friend because it was not crunchy enough for me.. but this was my mistake, I did not ask for crunchy almost burnt bacon. I was here for Brunch and they were completely packed, thankfully I made reservations. Even though they were packed, the service was great and the teams were attentive. It does get loud so beware if you want a more secluded place. More...

There are not many times that you will eat food which changes your perspective. This is that place. The last time I ate here was in 2008, and we had a chance to try it again a few weeks ago. The coffee is brewed so perfectly I didn't add any sugar or creamer. The bacon was crispy and the breakfast potatoes were something I told my friends about. The cocktail selection is also impressive, more today than it used to be. I highly recommend making a reservation, as it can get busy on weekends. More...

My lovely companion and I were in town for business. We decided to walk and find breakfast. Glad we found the Classic Cup. The outside dining area was nice. The street isn't so busy that it would be a distraction. The staff was cheerful and welcoming. My companion chose the Migas, one of two TexMex items on the menu. She said it was delicious. I chose a low carb scramble. It was packed with vegetables I wouldn't normally associate with a breakfast dish, like carrots and broccoli. It was really good. The eggs were fresh from the farm and very tasty. Great atmosphere. Great service. Great food. More...

With a great sidewalk seating area, a tremendous enclosed deck space, replete with an umbrella per table, Classic Cup offers plenty of angles to the Spanish-style architecture that is the Plaza. A small-ish waiting area nudges you up against the bar (not a bad place to be) if you have to wait for a table.Breakfast fare is very good overall - the classics are here, such as multiple Eggs Benny, a couple of omelette options, even a Hot Brown for all you Southerners. I opted for the Garden Omelette, which was fairly fluffy and was blanketed over a nice veggie medley, beyond the usual 'veggie' array of a diner (read: not peppers and onions). French chefs are tested on their aptitude for making omelettes, as a true artist knows that the egg curd has to be whipped to a froth and cooked low & slow. Classic Cup gets an A- on this effort, good but not amazing (it WAS busy, so a kitchen needs to turn out plates!). This was a date brunch, and she selected a special item titled 'Breakfast Sliders', which were a melange of shredded brisket/pork with a cranberry reduction. She deemed them amazing, which made the Cup a talking point for a return date (thank you, Classic Cup - she's awesome, so I'll take all the help I can get).I added in a pre-brunch Bloody Mary, which was just a classic Mary, not any of this chain bar & grill shrubbery growing out of a glass of tomato juice. Spicy mix, plenty of vodka, and a pair of green olives - just like they teach you at mixology school. Top-notch bar work!While I've been to the Cup for an afternoon or two to nosh on some appetizers, the cold weather has caused me to lose track of those specific experiences, so I'll be back when these arctic days are past us and the sun shines down on Kansas City. I'll update when I do.Prices are reasonable for the Plaza - you know you're on the Plaza, right? - and parking is no different than any other place in the same area. With a sturdy menu littered with classics and favorites augmented by creative daily options, Classic Cup will not leave you disappointed. More...

No complaints here. Service was fast and friendly. Pancakes, french toast, sausage, and bacon were all very tasty. This place was bustling yet relaxing on a Sunday morning. My guess is it's one of the top breakfast places on the plaza. Prices very reasonable. Would recommend! More...

I have been here a couple times for happy hours and brunches. I enjoy the food and drinks but some items are overpriced. The breakfast plate with eggs, meat, potatoes and a biscuit is my favorite item. The menu is a bit odd and select in choices. Being a picky eater; I didn't have many choices. However, There is a sides list with eggs, toasts, avocado etc. so you could put together a meal you like if you needed to. The mimosas are boozy so you basically get what you pay for. It's a quaint little restaurant with outdoor seating. I love the back patio when it's nice out. They also have delicious coffee. My server, a few times, did not seem very happy to be at work and I felt rushed but otherwise; everyone is friendly! Ask for Mia. She's great. More...

I love The Classic Cup. It's a cozy little restaurant with great brunch or lunch. I've had many things on the menu and definitely recommend the crabby Caesar and I most recently enjoyed the salmon burger (although the French fries that came with it were just average). Their eggs Benedict is good too. It's just a cute and fun spot to meet friends for lunch. I've had their chocolate cake before and loved it, but on my visit yesterday is was over cooked and a little burnt tasting. I don't know what happened to that batch, but whoops. More...

I think this is the best weekend brunch in Kansas City. I absolutely love the Turkey Hot Browns and the Biscuits and Gravy. If the weather is nice, they have lovely patio options that make you feel like you're on vacation. However, the service is all over the map.

I prefer my pancakes like Jane Seymour: Dutch and baked. Bet you didn't know that country TV sweetheart Dr. Quinn (aka Medicine Woman) grew up in the Netherlands. You probably also didn't know that Kansas City's Classic Cup Cafe is famous for its oven-baked "Dutch" pancakes. These Dutch Babies come with a huge pile of fresh Fruit, a sprinkling of Powdered Sugar, and a pair of Bacon companions. Underneath all of it, you'll find a thin Dutch Puff (aka German Pancake). I'd recommend more pancake and less toppings, but it's hard to not roll away from a Dutch Baby full and satisfied.If you prefer your pancakes like Kelly Clarkson -- American and thick -- then order Classic Cup Cafe's "World Famous" Buttermilk Griddle Cakes. Two strips of Bacon also accompany these warm discs of breakfast joy; however, I'd prefer them more like me: even thicker and fluffier.Classic Cup Cafe was busy, but with a little patience we made it to a sunny seat on the patio. Wear sunscreen if you plan to eat outdoors. Our server was friendly, but way too busy to spend much time getting refills or extras.If you don't want Dutch or American, go with a Breakfast Quesadilla (only available on the weekends). It's stuffed and cheesy. Kind of like this review. More...

Very flavorful, fresh tasting brunch. A group of 4 of us went on a Saturday morning (with a reservation) and they were quite full and busy with a couple of large groups and the rest of us at smaller tables. The egg entrees were the favorites.Two in our group got the Plaza Platter - one opting for just egg whites, and they chose for their respective sides ham and bacon. The meats had a good smoky taste, the eggs were well prepared, and the biscuits were very good. Another in our group got the Low Carb Scramble, which was nicely complimented with a fresh variety of veggies. I opted for the Gyro from the list of specialties for the week. it was served in a fresh pita and had tender sliced lamb, but the lamb didn't have a lot of flavor, and the tzatziki sauce was a bit bland. It was OK, but I'd opt for another selection next time. The fries were very nice and crispy. Two in our group got drinks - one a Mimosa which was tasty and the other got the Tale of Two Cities, which he very much enjoyed.Service was fine, with the servers constantly on the run, and the food does come out very fast.

I have only been once but the one time I went my food was incredible, the waiter was friendly and the bathrooms were clean! !!! The only reason I took off a star was that the food took what felt like forever to come, sure the waiter saw us right when we sat down our food took a while, but I have to admit it was pretty busy! It also felt really smooshed so I felt like when I used the restroom I was walking way too close to other tables!  Other than those two things the staff was great and friendly and the food was delicious and I can't wait to come eat here again maybe at a less busy time!!!!!!

My expensive (and new) gold earring fell through the crack of the patio - underneath to a 3-foot crawl space. At first the waiter did NOT sound hopeful... he said they had lost many credit cards down there. But, he talked with another employee and they were able to take up a couple boards and get my earring back!! They saved the day. It was so kind of them to help retrieve my earring that was special to me. Thank you! More...

Went here for the first time this weekend and I loved it! The brunch was great, I had eggs Benedict which I tend to judge a restaurants brunch based on the quality of their eggs Benedict, which they succeeded in. The ambiance was great and really comfortable. The lighting was perfect the location is right on the corner so the sun hits right in and warms the place. They've got a front and back patio which is awesome especially for brunch. The staff was friendly and quick to get our orders out. The portions were great along with the prices. Sophisticated experience with comprobable prizing. More...

I have to say I'm a little biased towards this restaurant because it is next door from my place of work and I go there almost every day. I've had their brunch and it's amazing, their happy hour takes the cake. Seriously. For $4, you can get a chicken breast sandwich with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and an amazing honey-mustard sauce. FOUR DOLLARS! Their bruschetta is crazy tasty and is also cheaper than a Big Mac!Their entire staff from hostess' to bartenders to servers to management takes the effort to make every guest feel like family, not just a meal. With a seven-day a week happy hour, amazing sangria, above and beyond staff, and an amazing menu with delicious food, you can't get any better on Country Club Plaza than Classic Cup. More...

This place is one of the best locations in Kansas City. It is on the Plaza and with the seating outside you can eat and watch the Shoppers walking down the sidewalk. I've been here twice once getting the spicy shrimp pasta and another time getting bison burgers. The appetizers are pretty good as well. I've had their hummus which is good but is a little salty.
