La La Land Cafe Picks Leawood's French Corner for Spring 2027 Debut
La La Land Cafe, the yellow-storefront coffee chain known for hiring young people transitioning out of foster care, is planning a new location at French Corner, the four-restaurant development rising near Town Center Plaza in Leawood. The cafe is expected to open in spring 2027 and would occupy roughly 2,400 square feet in the project's easternmost space, designed as a sit-down spot rather than a drive-through.

A Chicago native picks her three favorite Windy City-style pies in KC
Traditional Chicago-style deep dish pizza is its own type of food science. A flaky, buttery, biscuit-like crust lines the bottom of the pan. Cheese hides the toppings, and red sauce hides the cheese—the cheese is buried below the sauce so that it doesn’t get scorched by the long bake required to cook a cake-thick crust. As a Chicagoland native, I can say with authority that Third Coast in Lenexa (7820 Quivira Road, Lenexa) makes a very solid deep dish pizza. The makeup of the pies is comparable to Chicago tourist trap Lou Malnati’s, but the slices hold themselves up way better, in my opinion, not falling to the sag and spoon-able soupiness that often comes with the deep dish territory. The deeper the pie, the more simple I keep the toppings, so I just stick with pepperoni here and let the crust do the talking.
