Trying West Plaza Bodega's breakfast sandwich

What do old airport chairs, breakfast sandwiches and the West Plaza have in common?

• They're all part of a new bodega at 1702 W 45th St. in KCMO.

What's a bodega? Think of it like a corner store, a place to buy drinks and snacks, with a coffee bar and a kitchen.

Zoom in: West Plaza Bodega is run by the owners of Black Hole Bakery. Kansas City Magazine calls it a second location.

• The bakery's famed flagship is on 5531 Troost Ave.

Dig in: The shelves are lined with trendy items, local snacks, and unique ingredients.

• The counter contains a row of pastries, and the beans are from Maps Coffee in Lenexa.
• Kit's Diner, a pop-up food concept working on opening a brick-and-mortar, serves sandwiches for breakfast and lunch.

💭 Abbey's thought bubble: I didn't expect to walk in and have the best breakfast sandwich of my life.

If you go: The bodega is open 7am to 4pm. It's closed on Mondays.
