Gigi’s The Vegan + Wellness Cafe — Restaurant in Kansas City

As I’ve said before, every establishment doesn’t earn a review. This one did. As I do with every new restaurant I try, I order a multitude. So I did the burgers, the tacos, the tuna, the wellness wrap, 3 smoothies, a pressed juice, spaghetti, stuffed avocado, and the detox tea. The Nubian was gifted to me and I was taken aback by my bun-less burger however the burgers full flavor allowed me to appreciate and disregard its bun absence and spark a curiosity so I returned to try more. Nothing was disappointing; portioned appropriately pallet tantalizing, even the price (on some things) was understandably so. But to discover this is ALIVE or NATURAL or RAW!! Even better! IF, only if you’re in tuned with your body can you hear your body speak to you during and after consuming this food. It makes your body happy. It gives you an awakening, causing your body to desire more and more and more as it did mine, so I found myself purchasing fresh fruits veggies and nuts to to concoct my own smoothies. Due to the 300 mile difference it’s not a daily commute. I’m a “pescavegarian” or “pescavegan”( fish and plants only no dairy) but three days of this food almost turned me off from fish! If it were closer and at least 1/3 price cheaper , eating fish would be a memory for me. The only downside is that it’s not affordable to eat everyday but this is nothing like fast food which is literally killing you with every bite. If it were life or death what is your life worth? Gigi’s food will rejuvenate you returning some of the time the bacon cheeseburger has taken away. Due to its freshness its best to enjoy promptly but day 2 isn’t that bad if you can bear wilted lettuce. Bottom line it’s worth it and Highly...

My friend and I visited Gigi’s a few weeks ago and I can’t stop thinking about what an amazing experience it was. The cafe itself is cozy and inviting, and Gigi and her staff are absolutely lovely. From the minute we walked through the door, it was obvious that this entire place is infused with love and a deep commitment to animals and the larger community.

Not only is the atmosphere delightful, but this is a culinary gem. There are almost no words for how delicious the food is…it was so rich and flavorful, it almost made me cry. Whatever preconceived notions you may have about raw vegan food, I can promise, they do NOT apply here. We ordered two entrees to share and they were both refreshingly creative and so satisfying.

My only concern is that I live in Colorado and cant return anytime soon. So y’all need to enjoy this cafe in my honor.

Gigi is a visionary, a culinary genius, a wellness guru, and a community advocate. Her cafe is a passion project worth supporting. I promise your taste buds...

I don’t write reviews often and I don’t like to put negative reviews, however I just had a really negative experience here by trying to advertise to my vegan friends a really great spot and a guy at the counter started yelling at me saying I’m stealing their information and then said I’m the reason he wants to leave the country.

Yes I’m white, yes I have locs, and yes I get discriminated against for it. However, it shouldn’t be from a space representing holistic health. Regardless of race, religion, or appearance.

Continued to yell over my friend and I as we tried to express we have began friends that we wanted to share the space with.

At the end of it, he was being racist saying we’re stealing their stuff like we did in the past (white colonists) not my Irish or native ancestors. And that’s why he’s trying to leave the country.

Projecting his own trauma onto us when all we did was share a video to...
