Staff is wonderful food is good most of the time it's just the other people that come in there that makes it uncomfortable....

Although only a limited number of individuals may dine at any given time. This Café shines when it comes to cuisine time. The staff are truly servants that make sure your experience is relevant. Feeling as a guest is a guaranteed experience. The temperature of the food is on point and the line moved along as "ducks in a row" just like with the service and cleaning. I would definitely say it's a "must have" as the feeling "Essential" comes to mind, and the term "hidden gem". Well worth any delay, which may be an issue with the limited seating, but a real treat when it comes to eating.

Very nice aesthetic and lighting make for a very enjoyable dining experience. The servers here are very kind and polite. Thank you, One City Cafe or another meal on days where I normally wouldn't have one.

Great Place for the Downtrodden, If You Starve in Kansas City Its Because You Can't Eat. Excellent Place When You Ain't Got Many Places
