best regards bakery & cafe

the grilled cheesesandwichesare great and live up to the hype. we found this place by googling "best grilled cheese in johnson county" and while i've not tried them all, it is hard to imagine a better one. while thesandwichesare great, it is a little pricey for what you get, and with baked goods right in front of you as you are ordering, it is easy to run up a big tab. still, would highly recommend this place.

i stop there every chance i get.  my wife would literal divorce me if i did not.  she loves, i mean loves their lemon cake.  if i was within 10 miles of best regards and did not stop.  well, i might as just not go home.  then, when i get there i go into this trance, because i love cookies.  so, i get the daily special because i know all thesandwichesare good, no great.  then i can have my cookie.  i eat one there, one in the car, another in the drive way and i take two inside.  one for my bride and one for after dinner.  yummy.

very very small serving size. every month i try a new restaurant with several friends and each gets a taste of every menu item ordered. we chose best regards on the recommendation of their fabulous grilled cheese sandwich varieties. though we had been led to believe the prices were great, we all felt the prices were very high for what we got. none of thesandwichescould have had more than 1 ounce of meat. the flavors were good, but the portobello roast beef had just 2 thin slices of beef and the meatball grilled cheese looked like a tablespoon of ground beef smashed on each 1/2. a chocolate ganache cookie listed on the menu to come with the chicken panini, but that was switched out for a small square of the butter cake. when asked why, the counter person said they wanted people to try different things. having never been there before the chocolate cookie would have been the 'new' that was preferred. we might go back, but only for the daily special - that seems to be a reasonable price.

okay but not exciting. we were looking forward to trying this cafe as they do offer a gluten free bread so a grilled cheese would be possible for me unlike most places around town. i also wanted to try the gf brownie. we got there a little after noon and it was not crowded. the brownies were all gone already and none of the chocolates seen on the website were available either.
we stood in line to order, there were menus on the counter but you could not get to them as the gentlemen in line before us were blocking them. perhaps a stand with menus available would be a good idea...we orderedsandwicheswith chips. the counter man took our money and names and handed our drinks over. i had to ask for the sweetners, lids, etc which were elsewhere in the dining room and you would not know that on your first visit. the menu stated that a side was " sea salt" chips so we had ordered those. when the lady brought oursandwicheswith no chips i asked about them, and she gestured to the far side of the counter and said we were supposed to pick them up ourselves,
my husband had the ham sandwich, and he said it was good but had the least amount of deli-sliced ham we have seen served in a long time! my avocado and cheese on the gluten free sourdough was tasty but tiny. i am used to the gf breads being a bit smaller than regular bread, but i am tired of paying full price for a serving half the size that everyone else gets..we will probably go back if nearby, but would not drive across town for this one.

phone number and review. the phone number listed above does belong to best regards. i just called it. i am not sure why joanne posted that. best regards is definately in business and they are wonderful. everything i have tried is very tasty and fresh. i have gone several times and each time i am pleased. thesandwiches- including the gourmet grilled cheeses, the salads, the soups, the bakery items all are tasty. if you haven't gone to best regards bakery and cafe.... what are you waiting for???
