    Jinkies
    This beautiful 70's theme coffee shop was filled with so much energy and creativity. They offer treats from rainbow bagels, cookies, and blueberry muffins. My business partner and I came out here to work for the afternoon, and we were not disappointed. We went with a Jasmine Tea that had just the right amount of caffeine to hold us over.

    The design of posters, old records, disco balls, and peace signs was enlightening while knocking some work out. We met the owners, a beautiful mother/daughter duo that was in high spirits of Jinkies! Perfectly tucked away in a strip mall with comfortable parking and down from the intersection- groovy!!

    I was out and about showing homes in Overland Park and had the opportunity to stop into the cutest little bakery in downtown Overland Park. This established bakery has you the moment you walk in the door. This bakery has the best pies and treats I have had in a while. You really taste the fat and there is no substitute for that. One of my faves I tried that day was the gooey, butter caramel bar. OMG!!! Really just hop in the car and go try it.

    I was out and about showing some commercial property in downtown Overland Park and I stumbled across this gem. If you were in the mood for a sweet fix or dessert to take to a dinner party I highly recommend this place. I left with a molasses cookie and a caramel gooey bar and I must say they absolutely did not disappoint. Next time you're in downtown Overland Park make sure to add them to your list.
