Soli Deo - Coffee + Bakery

Some restaurants are built for dinner. Others are built for brunch. This one falls firmly in the second camp.

Set in Kansas City, MO, Soli Deo - Coffee + Bakery has carved out a corner of the city's weekend brunch scene with a personality of its own. The room comfortably seats a mix of solo diners working through a coffee and a newspaper, couples splitting a stack of pancakes, and friend groups settling in for a slow, three-hour Saturday.

The chicken and waffles plate hits the table looking like a magazine cover and tastes even better than it looks.

Menu highlights

Here is a snapshot of the kinds of brunch dishes you can expect to find on the menu at Soli Deo - Coffee + Bakery. Specials rotate weekly with what's in season — check the chalkboard at the host stand when you arrive.

• Country-style biscuits and sausage gravy
• Smoked brisket hash with two eggs and pickled onion
• Lox bagel sandwich with everything seasoning and dill cream cheese
• Single-origin pour-over coffee from a local roaster
• Two eggs any style with thick-cut bacon and crispy hash
• Brioche French toast dusted with powdered sugar and seasonal berries
• Breakfast burrito with eggs, chorizo, beans, cheese, and salsa roja
• Veggie scramble with spinach, mushrooms, and goat cheese

It's a tight room, with maybe a dozen tables and a handful of counter seats facing the open kitchen, where you can watch the line cooks work.

Their breakfast burrito is the kind of thing locals order with eyes still half closed — eggs, chorizo, a scrape of refried beans, melty cheese, and salsa with real heat.

Vegetarians and vegans are well taken care of — at least three plant-forward mains anchor the menu, not just an afterthought side of fruit.

Like a lot of the best brunch spots in Kansas City, Soli Deo - Coffee + Bakery is at its most magical on weekend mornings, when the kitchen is firing on all burners and the room slowly fills with the kind of low, happy hum that only good food and unhurried company can produce. Whether you're a tourist with one weekend in town or a local with a Sunday ritual, this is a place that earns its reputation plate by plate.
