discover a historic and local kansas city bakery
McLain’s started in Waldo and is one of Kansas City’s oldest bakeries. Since 1945 we’ve been a family-owned establishment baking fresh pastries, birthday and wedding cakes, bread, cookies, and desserts! We’ve been serving our loyal guests for over 75 years and take pride in being a space for Kansas Citians to gather and enjoy each other’s company.
We would love for you to stop by one of our 6 locations and enjoy everything we have to offer. We can’t wait to make your day sweet!
FRESH PASTRIES + BREAD
Our baking team comes in before sunrise to ensure that all our pastries and loaves of bread are made fresh. Our classic butter rolls, cinnamon rolls, almond cheese pockets, and more! In addition to our classics, you might find a seasonal item or two.
BREAKFAST + LUNCH
We serve delicious breakfast and lunch options that will satisfy any appetite. Start your day with our famous (and spicy!) pepperjack burrito or a slice of housemade quiche. Come for lunch for our Chicken Bacon Sandwich or the Waldo Cobb Salad. And don’t forget to save room for a cookie–whether it’s a classic chocolate chip or our vegan maple doodle–it’ll be the perfect something sweet after your meal!
FRESHLY ROASTED COFFEE
Our stores have full coffee bars and freshly roasted coffee from our sister company, Sway Coffee Roasters. Sway started with a long-time McLain’s team member roasting beans up the street from the Bakery in Waldo. Now, it’s a small team roasting, packing, and delivering coffee from a spot in Kansas City, KS. At their cafe, you can enjoy and experience freshly roasted coffee firsthand.
CAKES, COOKIES + DESSERTS
Getting a cake, cookies, or desserts from McLain’s is the perfect way to add a touch of sweetness to any special occasion. Whether it’s a birthday cake, royal iced cookies for a bridal shower, or a smash cake for a first birthday, we offer a wide variety of cakes, cookies, and desserts that will impress your guests and create sweet memories that will last a lifetime.
PRIVATE EVENTS
Leave the worrying to us, and we’ll leave the celebrating to you! Small size events to big functions–we’ll arrange our space and curate a menu that will surely please your guests!
