As the leaves begin to change and the crisp air of autumn settles in, Kansas City is buzzing with excitement over two fantastic dining spots that perfectly capture the essence of the season. With delicious offerings and warm atmospheres, Snooze, an A.M. Eatery and Barley & Vine are must-visit locations for food enthusiasts and those in search of a cozy outing.
Recently, I had the delightful opportunity to swing by Snooze, an A.M. Eatery in Westport, and let me just say—it’s like a fall festival right on your plate! They’ve rolled out their highly anticipated fall menu that features some show-stopping dishes that bring the flavors of the season to life.
Picture this: a stack of Pumpkin Pecan Pancakes for just $11.50, bursting with a dreamy vanilla cream cheese filling, drizzled with caramel, and topped with crunchy candied pecans. Can you say yum? And if that doesn’t tickle your fancy, there’s the equally tempting Cinnamon Roll Pancakes, also for $11.50, crafted with white chocolate chips, cinnamon butter, and a healthy drizzle of caramel. Honestly, it’s downright impossible not to drool.
But, in the spirit of adventure, I decided to take a healthier path—though, spoiler alert: still delicious! I chose the Jalapeño and Cheddar Omelet for $14.95, made from three cage-free eggs, sautéed jalapeños, and mushrooms, all enveloped in gooey cheddar cheese. The star of the show? A magical house-made herbed cream cheese that elevates the dish to new heights. To finish it off with a twist, a sweet raspberry pepper jam provided just the right amount of spice that even non-spice lovers could enjoy. It’s the perfect compromise for brunch buddies with differing taste preferences!
And let’s not overlook the drinks! I paired my meal with a refreshing Butterfly Lemonade for only $5.50, blending honey lavender lemonade with pear and butterfly pea flower. Not just a pretty picture, this drink is an autumn essential. Our fantastic server, Matt, kept the good vibes rolling and suggested the Iced Pumpkin Latte for $5.95. This drink is autumn in a cup, giving a refreshing iced twist to all the pumpkin spice goodness we crave.
If you haven’t yet stopped by Snooze, now is the time! Just make sure to visit before those seasonal pancakes and lattes vanish!
For a more upscale outing, my girlfriend and I decided to check out Barley & Vine, a charming craft brewery and full-service wine bar located about 30 minutes from Kansas City. As soon as we stepped inside, we were greeted by a warm ambiance that felt perfectly inviting for our date night.
I decided to indulge in a glass of 2020 Crocus Malbec for $11.25, while my girlfriend opted for a bubbly delight—the 2021 Krone Borealis Cuvee Brut for $13.50. Both wines were exquisite, but the sparkling South African choice quickly claimed the spotlight. Following our drinks, we embarked on a whiskey tasting adventure with an enticing selection that included the New Riff 8yr Bourbon and the Amrut Fusion Single Malt Whisky. Each sip was a flavor explosion, making our evening feel special.
The service at Barley & Vine deserves a mention too. Our bartender was a true star, handling the busy room with ease while ensuring every guest felt catered to. It was an experience that blended indulgence with a welcoming vibe.
And if you’re in the market for a venue to host a celebration, Barley & Vine offers a stunning event space that’s ideal for anything from intimate gatherings to larger parties. Plus, if you want to take a piece of the experience home, their in-house wine store makes it easy to grab your favorite bottle!
In conclusion, whether you’re in the mood for sweet pancakes or a sophisticated wine and whiskey experience, Kansas City has got your fall cravings covered. Don’t miss out on these delightful spots that wrap you in the cozy spirit of the season!
