Metromix eats: The Little Oven

The menu

The Little Oven serves only desserts, shakes, coffees and teas. The only "real food" is Okahara saimin in a Styrofoam cup for $1.75, but once in a while Joyce brings in the KC Original Waffle Dogs, much to the delight of her loyal customers. The appeal of her food is the handmade quality, where everything is made to order and the items are not overly sweet or rich — just like European desserts are meant to be. The menu changes every night, so go often.
