We had the pleasure of using McLain's Bakery for our wedding cake and beautiful royal icing cookies. From our initial consult with Grace to our tasting, where the staff graciously accommodated my parents attending with us, to the final products, we were impressed by the clarity of communication, support, encouragement, and delivery. We selected almond cake with raspberry filling and almond buttercream, and McLain's delivered a gorgeous cake in the Lambeth style we'd requested. The cake was perfect, beautiful, and delicious. The cookies -- in shapes of wedding rings, champagne glasses, and wedding cakes -- were also a huge hit. We can't thank the team enough for being an integral part of our special day. We were also delighted to learn that on our first wedding anniversary, they'll provide a small cake in the same flavor -- so wonderful and exciting! Thank you, McLain's! We're your biggest fans!
Out of towner, visiting for a friend's bday and I wanted to bring a cake. Did some online research and found Mclains, and I am so happy I chose to get a cake here. First of all the price was great. It was an amazing cake, so beautiful and so delicious. Everyone attending the party who tried it said it's perfect! Moist, fluffy, not too sweet, just perfect! Also the service was great, from my first email with them until I came to pick it up from the bakery! And they have great coffee too!
We hired McLain's as our wedding cake vendor and could not be more pleased with the experience. We ended up getting a 5-layer cake (and 5 FLAVORS!!) which was one of my favorite pieces of our wedding. We also did the to-go tasting option which was so fun and helpful for choosing the flavors (did I mention we had 5!!) Their team was communicative, answered all my questions, and made the day-of process easy and seamless. Also LOVE that you get to order a cake on your 1-year anniversary.
McLain’s Bakery is a staple that I visit every time I’m in Kansas City. The food is always fresh, and the overall vibe makes it a great spot for breakfast, a quick bite, or even to hang out and get some work done. The coffee is solid, the pastries are delicious, and the atmosphere is consistently welcoming. I’ll definitely keep coming back and always recommend it.
I love a good bakery and McLain's had some pretty amazing choices with equally great prices, too. The retail section had so many cute holiday-themes goodies. I got a chocolate croissant to pair with my coffee and it was the best start to my morning. 🥐
