First off, this place is right around the corner from my downtown apartment, so it’s very convenient for me to go get me a quality, classy meal in a nice, fashionable and clean establishment. It’s so close and sooo nice that I met a few of my high school buddies there for a reunion, this past weekend…

Visited FoodLove Cafe yesterday. It was a little disappointing. I really want this place to survive. The fried chicken is one of the popular dishes. It lacked seasoning, as did the mashed potatoes. The menu should specify it’s boneless, as well. The Asian salad was also one-note. We had great service though. You can park in the garage to the back corner of the building and they will validate for you. Restrooms are through another door into the main building and are semi accessible and gender specific. Entrance is semi accessible. There is patio seating.

Came for the Valentines menu and had a great time. Both appetizers were excellent and the steak was very well prepared. Dessert was adorable and loved the special heart straws and chocolates

Really enjoyed our visit to the foodlove café. Definitely recommend the French onion soup and the sausage stuffed jumbo mushrooms. It was quaint and calm but we were also in at a non-busy time. Check it out!

The service was great and the food was even better. The Ham and Noodles were the perfect amount of creamy and cheesy, especially paired with the smoked ham. Will certainly be back soon to try more of the menu. I didn’t catch the chef’s name, but she was very sweet and fun to chat with. 10/10 recommend

My family and I had a wonderful dining experience at FoodLove Cafe. The staff were timely in taking our orders and bringing out our food. The resturant has plenty of seating inside or out with great views of the city. The menu had many delicious options to choose from with great portion sizes. Parking was limited outside of the resturant but there are many parking locations with in a few minutes of the resturant. If you are looking for a great blend for American and French cuisine FoodLove Cafe is your destination.

I had the stuffed Tilapia. The sauce was yummy and the fish was moist. My husband had the Knocked You Naked Noodles & Ham. We also had the Beijing Salad which was delicious. I loved the artsy/industrial vibe with high ceilings. I know the owner and this restaurant was her dream. Check it out!

What started off as a mid morning coffee walk ended as an incredible lunch. We stopped to look at a menu posted in the window only to be ushered in by our wonderful waiter Kyle. He informed us they had only opened back in August but the atmosphere and quality of just the interior made it seem like they were a Kansas City staple. After we got our menus and started looking through the menu we were brought some bread with a brown sugar and butter glaze and it was the perfect start to an incredible meal. Usually I prefer a savory or salty starter but I have zero complaints about this bread. Kyle was very attentive to our table and was constantly checking on us, getting us what we wanted/needed. I ordered two appetizers as my meal, I wasn’t super hungry but still wanted to try a few things off the menu. I went with the boulettes de viande (meatballs with a sweet and spicy sauce) and the poulet doight (custard fried chicken strips with a special sauce) and they were both magnificent. The meatballs were light and spongy and the sauce complimented them perfectly and the chicken was tender and the breading was seasoned just right. Again Kyle was there to refill our waters or get us (me) extra sauce. Overall, this has been one of the best dining experiences I’ve had while traveling, we didn’t even plan on eating this morning and I am so immensely happy that Kyle had opened that door for us. 100/10 would dine there multiple times if I had the time. If I am ever back in Kansas City you can bet that I’ll be stopping here again and again.

Foodlove Café catered for our wedding. We liked the variety of hors d’oeuvres, and so did our guests! We had a one-tier cake for us and cupcakes for our guests. The cake matched the wedding’s color scheme beautifully. Everything was delicious! Chef Kim is amazing!
