No. 47: Orange roll from the Clock Tower Bakery & Cafe
To whet your appetite for The Pitch’s annual Best of Kansas City issue in
October, we’re celebrating our favorite 50 dishes from restaurants,
bakeries, coffeehouses, bars, drugstores, saloons, and other metro
joints. Until October 7, we’ll feature one outstanding dish or beverage
each weekday. Agree with us or make your own suggestions — just don’t
come between us and these fantastic things to eat or drink.
Your eyes will first go to the cinnamon rolls on the left of the brightly lit pastry case at the Clock Tower Bakery & Cafe (7911 Santa Fe Drive) in downtown Overland Park. You’ll think that’s what you want because cinnamon rolls are a dime a baker’s dozen in this town.
Buy a cinnamon roll if you must, but make sure it’s resting next to an orange roll inside the plain brown cardboard bakery box on your passenger seat. In fact, a cinnamon roll just might be the distraction you need to avoid eating the entire orange roll on the drive home.
