Frannie Franks Coffee Cakes — Restaurant in Independence

It had been a long day of apartment hunting, excel worksheets and practice questions. The landlord called saying that a 2pm showing was possible and off I went. After seeing the apartment, the office manager was showing the Englewoods arts district and she mentioned that the best coffee cake she had ever tried was next door. I looked at her with a whiskical look and wondered if that was part of the pitch. I was wrong, she was being honest. I thanked her and decided to fo take a look. The recipe apparently was given to the owner by her mother and I figured thatis obviously a likely story. I opted to try the original version they started with, a cinnamon streusel and it was 6 dollars there was a two person piece. I am not a fan of sweets and i figured it would take me couple of days to finish it.I got in the car and took a bite and I forgot to turn the car on, sat there in the cold and ate half the cake. It melted in my mouth, soft, moist and filled with subtle hints of cinnamon and brown sugar in every bite. I have tried store bought versions and freshly baked ones before sparingly but none of them came close enough to make me write this review. This cake is pure poetry of sweetness.If you are coming to Kansas city, Missouri or KC MO as they call it here, take a 5 mile road trip to Independence Missouri and you may be justified in feeling what I felt at that moment- let's move to...

Holey coffee cake Frannie! These coffee cakes are so delicious! While at the Overland park farmers market, I was overcome with that sweet smell of baked goods, and I was hooked before I even took a bite! I asked the kind human behind the counter which was her favorite, and she recommended all of them, but said the lemon raspberry was one of her favorites! So of course we obliged and bought one, and a traditional coffee cake. But let me tell you there is nothing "traditional" about their traditional coffee cakes. They are so soft and velvety. It melts in your mouth, and is jam packed with all those perfect coffee cake flavors, times 100. This is not like the coffee cake I grew up with, it's so much better. (Sorry granny and mom) Lemon raspberry!!! Ahhhh! Literally the best coffee cake I've ever had! The lemon flavor was tart and bright, and the raspberry filling (the center layer) was creamy sweet and fruity. It was soft and velvety as well. And had a beautiful crumble top! Lemon and raspberry is the perfect combination, and was an awesome treat for these hot summer days! We will be back, and will be trying all the...

I have had so many gluten-free baked goods in my day trying to find something that's actually worth eating and I have found the jackpot. Frannie Frank's coffee cakes. I first caught them at the overland Park Farmers Market and I'm so grateful I snagged a coconut coffee cake. I messaged the company several days later and ask them if I could swing by there storefront and pick up some more because it was so good. The owner Jill was more than accommodating. Not only did she answer my Instagram message questions when the store had not opened yet, She set aside all the coffee cakes I had interest in and told me I could come get them anytime. Not only is the food great but the customer service is amazing....
