Boulevard Bakery

I visited Boulevard Bakery for the first time earlier today, March 5. I and my friend were greeted immediately and warmly, and informed apologetically that there were slim pickings due to the hour (around 1pm) and that it had been a busy day…
I opted to buy a dozen cookies and proceeded to make my selections from the many tasty looking choices still available. Once at the register, after I was told the total, 5.92, I tried to hand my debit card to the man, (the owner?) and was informed that they accept cash or check only. Oh no! I hadn’t seen the sign in the window and had no way to pay.
So, this man whom I had never met, just looked at me and said «That’s okay. You’ll be back. Catch me next time».
This action impressed and touched me…
I will be back soon to pay for my cookies. The cookies, ALL OF THEM, were delicious!

Wow! I saw all the Unilocal reviews and couldn’t believed I’ve lived in KC all this time and completely missed over this bakery! I totally regret it now! Easily the best baked goods in Kansas City area, not in the best neighborhood and you could easily pass by it without a turn of the head, but if you’re fortunate enough to come in and be greeted by the kind employees you’ll understand why it’s so good, greeted with the smell of homemade cookies and the sight of a variety of baked goods is an instant feeling of gratitude for sure! The selection was a bit less considering they were near close on a Saturday but that didn’t deter us from picking a nice selection of goods! When I had the chance to eat them I was blown away. The quality is amazing. The cake is super moist and flavorful (strawberry in particular) and the icing wasn’t overpowering which is good. Perfect combination and the decorations on the sugar cookies are beautiful also! HIGHLY recommend Boulevard Bakery for anyone with a mean sweet tooth.

One word «delicious». I recently stopped by here and got a few different items. I got home ate them and was mad at myself for not getting more. The customer service was also amazing. I can definitely promise I will be returning and giving this establishment more of my business.

Absolutely spectacular cookies! The KU Jayhawk and Kstate wildcat cookies were the hit of our basketball party. Best of all they were so delicious, not hard frosting like some places. I was going to post pics of two I had saved, but the dog jumped on the counter and got them. You need 24 hour notice so plan in advance, way worth the trip.

This little gem of a bakery keeps on amazing me every time I stop in. Today, I had to pick up a special order. I had ordered some cute little police car cookies for a DARE celebration event. I asked them to pipe the letters «DARE» on the cookies. Guess what? Not only did they pipe my request on, but they also did a little research themselves and found the «official» logo lettering for the program and put that on each cookie. WOW. JUST WOW! The genuine effort that these wonderful and magical bakers put forth is truly top notch and 5 stars all the way! What an unexpected surprise! Thank you once again Boulevard Bakery!

One of the best in KC. I love this place. It is so old school and so good. Sugar cookies, donuts, you want it they should have it. Service is excellent and so are the prices. A yes.

I think that I love everything here. Sheet cakes are divine and oh so inexpensive. I always stock up on decorated sugar cookies which are the absolute best. My husband loves their baby Boston Cream pies. This is my go to place for every birthday party, baptism, shower or special event. I even have my office hooked on it too. It’s about 4 minutes east of downtown, and a yummy mid-​day treat.

Best bakery in Kansas City bar none. Helpful staff. Excellent selection. Fair prices. To the reviewer who questioned why they only take cash… it’s to keep prices down… all credit cards take a huge bite out of profits, to suggest it’s to avoid taxes is beyond uncouth. If one is surprised by the total cost of their order, I would suggest it’s because they can’t add. No one forces anyone to buy anything. I’m in this wonderful shop at least once a week and buy all my cakes there. The prices are remarkably low and the quality is wonderful.

Lived in HNE (Historic Northeast) for goin on 25 years and Boulevard Bakery is part of the reason I have to pursue aerobic activity on a daily basis. Their sweet rolls are melt in your mouth awesome and the cookies, specifically the decorated ones are… oh Lord, GOB EM!!! Cash or check only — given credit card processing fees — I see why! Why give up 3−6% right off the top when margins are so tight to begin with. Great place for office treats or a daily donut. Help is great too… Roni and the crew are always there with a smile and a smart a** remark too! Just like being at home! Locally owned too, another plus.

The BEST decorated sugar cookies in KC! Tell Roni HI! From Bryan Jordan.
Cash or checks only — no credit or debit helps keep the prices down.
Support local.
BTW have I said they are the BEST! They also offer other yummy cookies & cake.
Each year I get my Mom a bunny Easter cake!

I’m pretty sure they use leftover pastries to make their bread pudding. I’m absolutely sure it’s FABULOUS!

Hole in the wall bakery that offers delicious sweets for cheap. I couldn’t believe how good the prices were here. Everything looks so good that you have to restrain yourself from buying the whole store! It is not located in a great place. The medical school KCUMB is close by, but so are a lot of seedy characters. If you are willing to make a brave trip down this street, you will be rewarded. They have lots of wonderful cookies and cream puffs. If you don’t want to make the trip, call them and ask what other locations they sell to. I believe there is a coffee shop in KC that sells their goods, but I can’t be sure.
Tip: Cash only business so leave the credit card at home.

I have heard about this place forever and never actually visited.
Their sugar cookies are the famous ones around town that are frosted with royal icing and look adorable. Apparently the main gal who churns these out did approximately 90,000 last year. Amazing! They are delicious and again, really well done.
I did not try the donuts but we did pick up two pans of the bread pudding which is delicious. The bread pudding is made out of, wait for it, donuts. So, as you can imagine, it’s extrordinary.
I’m totally torn about this four versus five star situation because I want so badly to give them five but I am not a fan of some of their cookies. I am pretty critical on cookies so I think many would give five stars.
Anyway, for the money, this is a fantastic bakery and I look forward (after reading a few other reviews) to trying their cakes!
Staff was great too! Very friendly!

Super yum! This place has got to be one of Kansas City’s best kept secrets. Insanely delicious cookies and cakes in an unpretentious and homespun shop. The staff is courteous and informed, just make sure to have cash or check with you. Best bakery ever!

Every trip here has been a pleasure. Helpful staff and insanely reasonable prices. I defy anyone to find cuter, more reasonably priced desserts in the city. I recommend the popovers and fried danish. Haven’t tried any of their famous cookies yet but I can testify to the superior decorating skills applied to each cookie individually. An assortment of any treats from Boulevard Bakery is sure to please.

Agree with the other reviews. Although the décor is simple, the cookies and cakes are phenomenal. Got a sampling of various cookies and every one was great.

Even though I’m a fan of ambiance, I love that this place is completely hole-​in-​the-​wall. I’m eating a «mocha bar» right now (in their series of little cakes with whipped cream on top and then coated with icing). It reminds me of what a Twinkie would taste like if Twinkies were good.
Don’t expect the staff to be very excited about your business. BUT, the prices are so much lower than gourmet bakeries, that you won’t mind too much.

Boulevard Bakery has the cutest decorated cookies that taste fantastic. You cannot taste food coloring like in some others. The brownies are SO good too. Everything I’ve had has a sugar dusted bottom. Be prepared for an extra kick to your sugar rush and it’ll be okay. This is a great place for birthdays or any occasion.

BB is one of KC’s best kept secrets in this town. Both the exterior and interior are no frills, and honestly neither are their sweets. I don’t mean that in a derogatory sense, because I love this place. I guess I’d say their treats honest and oh so tasty. BB has some of the cutest cookies and cupcakes. Take a look at their website:

Look at those amazing animal shaped cupcakes and hand decorated cookies with that home made touch. The cupcakes have a creamy filling and I usually don’t like that, but BB’s isn’t a fluffy filling like a twinkie, it’s less airy and more creamy. I did find it unnecessary to coat the bottom of the cupcake with sugar, it took me over the edge, so I’ll have to pace myself next time. I also gorged on some apple fritter thingy, OMG, that was orgasmic too. One speciality of BB is their themed cookie. Any event, I mean any, baby shower, Kwanzaa, back to school, new home, this place has themed cookies that look amazing.
The last thing I want to Unilocal about is their prices… very, very affordable. Anytime I’m over in this neck of the woods I visit this place but be sure to check their hours and they don’t take credit cards… I said it was home spun.
