Shakes aren't just for the kids anymore. In addition to delicious gourmet ice cream, Betty Rae's delivers a fine selection of boozy shakes and floats. For example, their White Russian consists of Vodka with Vanilla Bean and Coffee ice creams and their Buffalo Sweat Float is a pairing of Tallgrass Brewery's Oatmeal Cream Stout, with Vanilla Bean or any flavor ice cream. They closed during the winter, but will be back open starting on Wednesday March 1st.

I can confidently say that I gained the "Heirloom 5" when this spot opened up in Kansas City. Their ingredients are always fresh and sourced locally and they create the best baked goods in town. They're mostly famous for their mouthwatering, homemade poptarts. How could you say no to flaky pastries stuffed with a fresh blueberry or strawberry filling?

Not much has changed about this childhood classic, except for the fact that it's massive. If I had a pancake this big as a kid, I would have been in heaven.
