Everything about You Say Tomato's approach to food is modest, except the food itself. YST buys local, promotes local and delivers what we feel is some of KC's most genuine and delicious breakfast food. Breakfast/brunch is available every day of the week, including Saturdays and Sundays starting at 8am.

Farmhouse is all about locally sourced foods, and when you get your brunch menu you will see a list of local farmers that contributed to that day's ingredients.

Farmhouse is located right across the street from the City Market and it makes a perfect spot to land after you've claimed your market goods.

In early 2013, the iconic spot was re-opened with a brand new imagination. It still has favorites like biscuits and gravy, but it now sources its ingredients from local farms and has bold new dishes like Prosciutto Hash, with purple potatoes and a duck egg.
