When it comes to comfort food and sweet endings, few places in the Kansas City area match the down-home deliciousness of the Corner Cafe. Known for hearty meals, friendly service, and generous portions, the Corner Cafe also boasts one of the best dessert selections in town. Whether you’re in the mood for a slice of pie after dinner or picking up a whole dessert to bring to a gathering, you’ll find a mouthwatering array of baked goods waiting for you.
A Slice (or Whole Pie) of Heaven
Step into the Corner Cafe and you’ll quickly discover why our bakery has earned a loyal following. Year-round favorites on our dessert menu include classic chocolate, banana, and coconut cream pies, each with a light, fluffy filling nestled in a flaky crust. You can order by the slice or take home a whole pie to share—if you’re feeling generous!
The apple pie and pecan pie are beloved staples that never go out of season, while pumpkin pie makes a special appearance in the fall and fresh strawberry pie steals the show each summer. It’s no surprise the strawberry is their most requested dessert!
And for those who want to indulge in a favorite dessert without the sugar, there’s a daily no-sugar-added pie available—just ask your server what’s baking today.
More Than Pie: Cobblers, Cakes, and Rolls, Oh My!
If you’re craving something warm and extra cozy, the peach and blackberry cobblers are served hot and can be topped with a scoop of ice cream for the perfect a la mode experience. Chocolate lovers will swoon for the Missouri Mud Slide—a warm, fudgy brownie topped with ice cream, caramel, pecans, whipped topping, and a drizzle of chocolate syrup.
From moist three-layer cakes to homemade cinnamon rolls and sticky buns covered in pecans, there’s something to please every sweet tooth. You can also order muffins (individually or by the half-dozen) and cookies that make great snacks or gifts.
