Top Bakeries in Overland Park
Baked goods are serious business in Overland Park. From charming pie shops to boutique bakeries and scratch-made kitchens, there’s no shortage of sweet (and buttery) perfection to be found.
Whether it’s a gooey, crisp-edged cookie or a perfectly flaky croissant, the right treat can make any good day even better. At these stand out bakeries in OP, talented bakers are serving up incredible pastries with special touches that make every bite unforgettable.
Aurora Bakery
Specializing in authentic Mexican sweet bread, Aurora Bakery makes some of the best sweets and pastries around. Their conchas are particularly noteworthy, featuring raspberry cream cheese, lemon, funfetti and chocolate, but the star of the show is their crème brûlée concha, filled with vanilla pastry cream and topped with a glassy layer of burnt sugar that you can crack open resulting in a true crème brûlée experience. Aurora Bakery also serves muffins, croissants, and chunky chocolate chip cookies topped with a sprinkle of sea salt.
McLain's Market
Locals know and love McLain’s Market for their baked goods, coffee, breakfast, and lunch menus, but they actually started in 1945 as a family-owned bakery. They have been expanding and carving out a special place in Kansas Citians’ hearts ever since and have not forgotten their roots. Some of the best-baked goods in the metro can be found here. They are known for their cup cookies, coffee cakes and pastries, but our personal favorite are their sugar cookies with whipped frosting.
Kate Smith Soirée Boutique Bakery
The confections at Kate Smith Soirée Boutique Bakery are handcrafted using classic techniques, which may not be the fastest or easiest method, but it does create French macarons that are unlike any other in the KC Metro. Beyond the popular macarons, you'll find a rotating selection of sweets and pastries using seasonal ingredients.
The Upper Crust
The Upper Crust has been holding down the pie scene in the KC Metro for years. Started by two sisters who love the smell of butter and making people smile, this Downtown Overland Park pillar is adorable, cheeky, and delicious. They have all the classic flavors like apple, cherry, and pecan, plus seasonal and more experimental flavors too. Try their pie flights where you get to try one slice each of three flavors. Don't forget the coffee and ice cream!
Best Regards Bakery
Best Regards Bakery is a family-owned gem on 119th St., famous for their delightfully decorated sugar cookies which were featured on The Food Network. But the delicious-ness doesn’t stop there. The owner and head chef is a masterful “food engineer” who is always experimenting and perfecting his original recipes. Making their cookies, sandwich breads and more from scratch, this homestyle bakery will have you feeling like family when you visit.
