Happy Gillis is an absolute gem in Kansas City! 🌟 With its cozy, plant-filled atmosphere, it's the perfect spot for breakfast or brunch. I indulged in the smoked salmon toast topped with delightful pickled tomatoes - so fresh and flavorful! My partner raved about the classic biscuits and gravy, which were hands down the best we've ever had. They offer a fantastic coffee station, too.

The staff was friendly and quick, making our experience even better. If you're in town, don't miss this delightful café! ☕🥯
