Baba’s Pantry is Expanding…Right Next Door!

Baba’s Pantry

Since opening in 2022, Baba’s Pantry in East Brookside has become a household name in the Kansas City culinary scene. Now they are expanding with a new bakery, right next door!

  • From Home: Baba’s Pantry is an authentic Palestinian-American deli and cafe. The colorful space serves up traditional Middle Eastern dishes including hummus, Falafel, Kebabs, Shawarma, and more.

  • Sweets Next Door: Baba’s Bakery will take over the space next door (1019 E. 63rd St.) and is under construction now. The bakery will serve traditional Palestinian desserts such as baklava and knafeh, but also fun spins on classic desserts like “babanolis”.

The bakery plans to be open sometime this summer. Learn more about Baba’s Bakery from this article by the Kansas City Magazine.

The Best Suburbs in Kansas City: Ranked

Park Place Leawood

But not by us! Online publication Niche has released the 2024 lists of Best Suburbs to Live in each state. Here’s how the KC metro suburbs fared:

  • Kansas: Turns out, most “suburbs” in the state of Kansas are located within the KC metro. The top 12 cities named for Kansas were all located in the metro, with Leawood taking the top spot.

  • Missouri: The other side of State Line is a different story. The top KC metro suburb in Missouri is Parkville, which came in at #22.

Yes, loving where you live is subjective. And yes, this could get contentious. 🤷
