    I love the food. I was a frequent customer as of late actually going every day this last week that they were open even buying a sticker! Yesterday they lost me with such poor customer service. Every day when ordering a side of toast I got 2 pieces, but Yesterday only got one. When I talked to the girl she didn't care and it was the only day I saw her there. I also tried to speak to the guy with the diva pin but ... he wouldn't give me the time. It's very sad because I loved much about the place but the service. So long happy Gillis, you made me sad

    Hey Kansas City! If you were looking for breakfast, brunch, and hot coffee in Kansas City....Happy Gillis is the place to check out! This popular local breakfast gem is cute, quaint, and covered with beautiful plants. There are a few tables to sit at inside of the cafe to enjoy your meal. A lot of people will order their food to go and will take it to the nearby park to have a picnic when it is warm or they will take their meal back home to enjoy! If you order in person, there is a refillable coffee stand when you can keep your coffee cup warm and full. My favorite item to order is the class biscuits & gravy with a side of bacon. Unbelievable! There are a lot of fresh and tasty options on the Happy Gillis Cafe & Hangout menu. Stop by this little spot today!

    I've been here 3 times and cannot stop raving about how delicious the food is, how nice the interior is, how friendly the staff are... everything is fabulous. The mushroom gravy is absolutely amazing; I've eaten it with a spoon like it's soup!

    We stopped here twice in our stay from Friday-Sunday because we enjoyed it so much. We ordered biscuits and gravy that we quickly became obsessed with, hence why we came back for a second breakfast. My husband ordered a Bloody Mary which was also delicious. It is a great breakfast spot, with quick and kind service and a fun atmosphere.Oh, and order the bacon.
