The Doink Heard
'Round the World
Some Cookies just write themselves. As many of you know, we make an effort to have "relevant" Sugar Cookies. You know that something has truly gone viral when it turns up in our Cookie Case. This is one case where our Cookie itself went viral and became news!
Way back in the old days, we created Lucky Mantis Cookies for the Royals, Eclipse Cookies for the Great Eclipse in '17 among others. We have now streamlined our process and even have 3D printers to make our own cookie cutters on demand.
We are thinking that this one has legs and will be around for a while. For the short term, including this weekends game, we will have at least 200 of these available for walk-in.
We open at 8 am and have a limit of Q=12 Sugar Cookies per person for the first hour. We started this policy for the Chiefs 1st Super Bowl run with Andy Reid. No limit after that. We want to treat as many fans as possible. |

Robert's Kansas City Steak Soup Returns
The old Plaza III Steak soup has been an obsession for many of us. Thanks to my old radio show, Robert was able to interview many of the people that created the recipies policies that became the legendary Plaza II Steakhouse.
We have even gone 1 step further than they did and make our beef stock from scratch. Yes, it is really that good. |

Cream Puffs
are as Popular as Ever
These are old school Cream Puffs. The shells are made using an old German recipe for that unique flavor and presentation.

Please be patient, if we run out, rest assured that more are on the way. |

Sourdough Bread
The foundation for any sandwich, but expecially the Ultimate BLT is the bread. Skimp on the bread and you just have a sandwich. Back in the day, we did not even tell people that our bread was Sourdough, just that we made it in-house. People used to be afraid of the work Sourdough as they instantly thought of San Francisco Sourdough that had that odd "twang".
We have now learned that true Sourdough simply means "naturally leavened", meaning not commercial yeast or other chemicals used in mass production. Now we all know that this word has been abused and there are really only a few of us here in KC that truly make Sourdough Bread.
BONUS: French Country Batards as shown here are now available for walk-in or online ordering every Friday & Saturday. Cost is $9 and each will now earn you 2 Reward Points.
Earning rewards at Best Regards is fast and easy. A FREE Decorated Sugar Cookie is just 10 points.

Just a Sugar Cookie?
This economy is forcing every Bakery & Restaurant to evaluate their priorities. This is reflected in their final product, pricing and services offered. Think about the 1/2 gallon of ice cream that we used to love. Can you imagine the outrage if gas stations showed prices per liter?
This is a side profile of a standard Sugar Cookie in our case. It is still huge, still thick (1/2 inch) and still soft. It also still tastes wonderful as we still use European butter, Madagascar bourbon vanilla and King Arthur flour.
This is who we are and what we make. That will never change. Oh, the price?
10 years ago: $2.99 each
Today: $3.99 each
* Custom Cookies are extra |

the Italian Stallion
This is the headliner of our new Spring Patio menu. Made with our house Focaccia bread, 5 meats and a house made italian dressing to pull it all together. |

New: Salad Menu
We have listened to your feedback and have redesigned our whole menu from the cutting board all the way to your table.
1. Quality, quality, quality. Kepp making everything from scratch from the best ingredients possible, especially the dressings.
2. Portion sizes. Big & heavy lunches that force you to either overeat or take home leftovers are gone. We have right-sized our salads for you and for us.
3. Pricing. Customers were hoping that as long as we can accomplish 1 & 2, they would appreciate a little help with the pricing. We get it, times are crazy.
At left is the Caesar Salad:
Lightly dressed with our scratch made and old schoool Caesar dressing. $6.99 |
 |
Big Menu RollBack
We are rolling our whole Lunch menu back to simpler times. We are focused on more appropriate serving sizes and yes, lower prices.
In years past, we all got used to obscenely large servings with way too much food. Today, with higher food costs, all that waste is unacceptable.
Bes sure to give our new Menu a try, with everything still made from scratch and plenty of options.

Cosmic Fudge Cookie
Remember those amazing treats that you only got on special occaisions as a kid? We do and wanted to see if could upgrade it to an amazing adult treat. This is a totally different recipe from our other 12 original chocolate cookie, cake & brownie recipes. It is amazing how much difference a slight change in ratios and technique can make.
You worked hard this week and deserve a treat! |

Cari's Lemon Bars,
Perfected
We have finally perfected our Lemon Bars. The challenge has be to capture the authentic and natural tartness of our Limoncello Poundcake but balanced with a tender and buttery crust. Sometimes it takes a combination of old school meets new school.
Rest assured that we are doing everything possible to keep this fully stocked.
Available by the piece or 8x8" pan. |

Calling our food Homestyle is the highest compliment that you can give us. Our goal is to provide food that your Grandmother would be proud to serve as our own. At least if she had access to kind of premium ingredients we find, the equipment that we use and all the time in the world. |

This is available as a side salad or as a lunch. You can also upgrade by adding sous vide chicken or Grilled Salmon. |
 |
Blackened Salmon
We make our own blend of seasoning for our Blackened Salmon, so that it is not too salty or spicy. This can be added to any salad as an upgrade. Yes, it tastes as good as it looks. |

Classic Wedding Cake
Now available as a Slim or 8x8 Pan
We asked our customers, what is the one cake that you want us to make? The clear favorite was Wedding Cake (without having to dress up). A sublte almond flavor, with a real buttercream frosting is what really makes it special. We did the research and found a wonderful almond flavoring that was absolutely dreamy. |
 |
 |
Rock'n & Roll'n
We love to visit with our guest about favorite food memories. One bite of these and you will flash back to walking through Ward Parkway Mall in the 1990's.
We start with a Brioche dough, plenty of Saigon cinnamon, European butter and topped with a scratch made Cream Cheese frosting. Oh, and we found a way to make the entire Cinnamon Roll just like the middle. |
 |
Turkey Club Sandwich This is my all time favorite Summertime sandwich. Yes, even over our BLT. This is more balanced with the turkey, cheese and special sauce in addition to the Berkshire bacon, lettuce and tomato. We also build this on our hearty, thick cut sourdough bread to hold it all together. I sometimes have to schmush it a bit to be able to eat it, but man oh man!
Available for dine in, patio or carryout

Over the
last 23
years,
Robert
Duensing has
earned the
title of The
Cookie Man,
from Kansas
City!
This title
was first
given to him
by Toby
Tobin, live
on the
radio, over 15
years ago.
A great and
memorable
cookie is
all about
the flavors,
texture and
aroma.
You will
find that
many of our
signature
cookies are
1/4 lb,
which are
big enough
to share,
but good
enough that
you won't.
Robert is
obsessed
with
creating
recipes that
are not too
sweet, so
you can
enjoy the
flavors of
the great
ingredients
that he
searches out
for each
unique
recipe.
This is
something
that Robert
strives
to live up
to every
day. |

What Makes BRB Special? |
Current Top 5 Goodies |
-
Everything is Scratch:
Absolutely everything is
made from scratch.
In today's world this is
the only way we can be
sure of what is in the
foods we sell.
Unlike most every other
bakery we do not use any
box or bag mixes that
you just add water to.
We don't even use just
plain old dried
cranberries, we take
that extra step to make
everything special.
-
Best in the World:
We
search throughout the
world for the best
ingredients we can find
to elevate every single
ingredient of every
product we make.
Artisanal bread is
pretty simple as it only
has 3 ingredients:
flour, water and salt.
We use King Arthur
flour, sea salt and
filtered water.
European butter,
Madagascar bourbon
vanilla and real Limoncello are a few
other examples.
-
Original Recipes:
Every single recipe we
use is a Best Regards
Bakery original that
involved many weeks and
months of testing.
Our French Country Bread
took 7 months and our
Signature Chocolate Chip
Cookie to 3 months and
72 test recipes.
-
Friendly Service:
We
are a family owned
business worked by
family and friends that
really care about your
bakery and gifting
experience. We
have been around for 18
years and we still
listen to your feedback.
-
Passion:
In
case you have not
noticed, we are foodies
with a passion for the
best quality food
possible. We are
constantly looking for
that one extra step we
can take to elevate the
perfect sweet treat to
something even better.
|
-
Salmon BLT: The
hardest thing for any
restaurant to get right
is the Bread. Ironicly,
it is also the most
important factor to a
great sandwish.
Blackened Salmon with
Berkshire bacon, special
dressing with the best
tomatoes we can find on
our toasted sourdough
bread.
-
Caesar Salad:
Inspired by the two best
Caesar Salads that we
have ever had ( EBT &B
Jaspers). We make the
dressing from scratch
and make our own
Croutons. Grilled Salmon
is available as an
upgrade.
-
Iced Sugar Cookies:
Imagine a cookie with
all the flavor of the
best shortbread, but
soft and beautifully
decorated with an icing
that is not too sweet.
-
Cranberry Orange Cookies:
If a Scone could grow up
into an amazing cookie,
this is what it would
be! This has the
perfect balance of
orange, cranberry and
moist, tender cookie,
but not too sweet. Just
selected the Best Cookie
in Kansas!
