Songbird Cafe - Downtown Kansas City

I absolutely adore the Songbird Cafe! They have a fantastic selection of healthy, delicious options that cater to vegan, paleo, and gluten-free diets. I ordered the Hemp Salad for $10 and the Turkey Pesto with fresh avocado on gluten-free bread. I usually get a cup of tomato soup to go with the Turkey Pesto, as it complements the dish perfectly. To wrap up my meal, I enjoyed an Exodus Cream smoothie, which featured dates, strawberries, coconut milk, organic raw cacao, and freshly ground peanut butter—all for just $5 during Happy Hour. Their Happy Hour runs from 3 to 5 PM and includes discounted prices on juices and smoothies. Yum!

Ok. Kansas City. You are so blessed. This Cafe is so exceptional. I wish Atlanta had one! On business trips it can be difficult to find a place for me to eat because of my food restrictions due to allergies, so I was so happy to find a place with vegan, organic, gluten free options. I was not disappointed. From the moment I walked through the door Chris was there to help me pick out just the right meal (pics attached). I got a turkey pesto panini no egg, no dairy, no gluten, but TONS OF FLAVOR. WOW. I have to say my Forerunner smoothie was by far one of the best things I've tasted in months. I was in bliss. If you are vegan, sensitive to dairy or anything similar, do not hesitate to get here. You won't be disappointed.

Fantastic spot! This team truly knows how to do it right. They prepare most of their dishes from scratch, including their sauces. I enjoyed an Albacore tuna melt on multigrain bread, and they also offer gluten-free bread. The tuna was perfectly balanced, not overly dressed, and had a wonderfully fresh taste. If you’re in the area for lunch or dinner, I highly recommend stopping by to support this family-owned establishment. I visited on a Thursday at 5:30 PM and was the only customer there. I really hope this place gains popularity because I’d love to see it thrive!

I also tried the peanut butter protein balls and cocoa balls, but they were quite bland, so I ended up discarding them; I won’t be purchasing those again. On a positive note, their Himalayan macaron was fantastic—packed with coconut flavor. I just wish I had spent my money on more of those!

This is a really nice local eating place in a more downtownish Kansas City location, which lives up to it's name, hosting frequent live music. Prices are reasonable, food is good, and opportunity to catch live music.. makes for a great combo!
