Gluten Free KC

These are not ALL dedicated GF facilities - but they are ALL familiar with GF and celiac requirements. They ALL also have delicious and addicting GF options.

While not entirely gf, this restaurant has AMAZING options for breakfast, lunch, dinner, desert, snacks, and more. I haven't been able to have a delicious cinnamon roll in years, until Billie's. They offer gf, df, vegan, and other options as well!

Hidden Gems

Local favs of our family - most are family owned, or just lesser known options in the area. While some may seem obvious, they aren't always - unless you know the area!

Delicious street tacos with a food-truck vibe, but in a building. There is an ordering window for you to order "on the go" and an indoor area for you to sit & enjoy your tacos & margs!

I love their cocktails, specifically their butterbeer (it's not beer, it's a cocktail). Highly recommend going, any time that they are open! I am not a coffee person, but my husband and friends love their espresso. They also have car shows sometimes ...

A distillery tour at Tom's Town Distilling Co. is a great experience for anyone, especially when you have family or friends in town! A group tour makes it even more lively, and doing a tasting after is top tier!

As a non-beer drinker (thanks celiac) I still found this tour neat! Walking through everything and learning about their process was very interesting. I also have attended weddings here and they have been so fun!
