Exciting Changes in Kansas City: New York Butcher Shoppe to Open in Former Cafe Europa Location

Kansas City is buzzing with excitement as the local culinary scene prepares for a fresh and delicious addition! After more than two decades of serving up baked goods and satisfying meals, Cafe Europa has closed its doors, making way for the highly anticipated New York Butcher Shoppe. The bustling South Plaza neighborhood will soon host this gourmet butcher shop, wine bar, and restaurant at 4928 Main St.

The Transition from Cafe to Butcher

The Mediterranean cafe, which opened back in 2001, had been a staple in the area. Initially starting as Europa! Cafe in Crestwood Shops, it eventually moved to its current South Plaza location in 2022 under the ownership of Ben Cascio. However, after its summer closure in 2023, locals and food lovers alike are eagerly awaiting the changes that the New York Butcher Shoppe will bring.

Scheduled to open its doors in either April or May 2024, this new establishment is set to introduce a whole new concept to the Kansas City dining scene. The excitement doesn’t stop there. The managing partner has plans to expand with four to five locations across the Kansas City metro area, making this a delicious development to keep an eye on.

What to Expect from New York Butcher Shoppe

The New York Butcher Shoppe is not your average butcher shop. Customers can look forward to a diverse selection of meats that go well beyond the basic cuts. Here, you can pick from deli meats, steaks, and pork chops to satisfy any craving. What’s more, you’ll have the ability to buy your favorite cuts of meat along with enticing sides and a curated selection of wine for a delightful home-cooked meal – all in as little as 20 minutes.

But if you’re in the mood to dine in, the menu will offer hearty options such as twice-baked potatoes, eggplant parmesan, beef stroganoff, prime roast, and Italian sausage. This sounds like the perfect place to unwind after a long day at work!

A Bit of Background

Founded in 1999, the New York Butcher Shoppe emerged from a family’s search for quality butcher shops after relocating from Brooklyn to South Carolina. Fast forward to today, and the chain boasts 34 locations across eight states, including Texas, Ohio, Alabama, and Tennessee. Their success in other regions speaks volumes about the potential for their latest Kansas City adventure.

A Sweet Side Note

More Gourmet Options on the Horizon

With all this culinary activity, it’s clear that Kansas City is embracing a tasty transformation. So mark your calendars and get your appetites ready for the exciting openings ahead!
