My recommendations for the best food and drinks in town! Brunch, coffee, dessert, etc. if you ever come to the middle of the USA!

Absolute BEST brunch in town hands down. Small business ran by principles and teachers with a speakeasy in the basement named "The Principle's Office" with school themed drinks! Unique cocktail menu and incredible dining experience.
Salut Wine and Cocktail Lounge - Westboro, Topeka, KS
This is probably the most upscale dining we have in town, especially being reservation only all of the time with rules. Definitely need to try once for a fancy date night!
The White Linen
We absolutely love Jorge's! The staff is always having as much fun as possible and remember all of their customers which makes us feel special!
Jorge's Cantina Mexican Restaurant
A newer restaurant in downtown Topeka! They have my favorite chicken quesadillas chips and queso!
Ta Co.
Best coffee shop in my opinion. They have an array of foods for the whole day, desserts, and even have live music with alcohol in the evenings. Many people come here for business meetings or to study as well!
The Classic Bean - Home
My favorite italian restaurant- aka the only italian restaurant in town that is not Olive Garden.. but I like it MUCH more!!
Paisano's Ristorante
If I ever move this is going to be the #1 place I miss the most. I'm pretty sure they've won Best Pizza of Topeka for years straight!!
Glory Days Pizza
Quite frankly I think this one gets completely overlooked. I love their pizza slices for lunch sometimes! Thinner pizza with a special crust. 🫶🏼
Pizagel's Pizza & Bakery
Pizza, beer, pickleball! Could it get much better than that? Plus, they do lots of deals for kids!
785 Beer Company
I cannot put into words how much I love the Wheel Barrel. Best gourmet sandwich place EVER! Their patio out back is phenomenal and it is in our Arts and Entertainment District where we have First Friday Art Walks!
The Wheel Barrel
Our top gourmet chocolate shop. 100000/10. Apples, cheesecake, fudge, and all sorts of goodies!! Also downtown right next to one of the Classic Bean locations!
Hazel Hill Chocolate
Love me some small cakes - especially now that they have cookies and brownies!!
Smallcakes Topeka
Dirty Dough has locations in Topeka and Lawrence which is 30 min away! If you're not a big fan of frosting and love warm gooey cookies, Dirty Dough is the way to go!
Dirty Dough Cookies - Topeka
We have two locations in Topeka and one of them has live DJ's at night and pool tables. I love their bar food!
Abigail's Grill & Bar - Topeka - Facebook
This is a breakfast place is south Topeka that I personally have not been to but have only ever heard good things!
Banjo's Cafe
Personally I don't usually like this style of food but again I've heard amazing things about this place!!
Tuptim Thai Restaurant
It's a spa and wellness cafe down in NOTO (Arts and Entertainment District) by Wheel Barrel. They have pressed juices and protein balls, etc.
Onyx Wellness Cafe
Super cute candy shop in NOTO!! I believe the only candy shop we have.
Toot Sweet
Frogs is one of my favs to drink at in town. Very popular
Jeremiah Bullfrogs
Personally I've never been here but I've heard people talk about it and how amazing it is.
