McLain’s is absolutely amazing! They created a plethora of treats for my baby shower, and we were blown away. Everything from the quiches to the cupcakes (and literally the best macarons I’ve ever had) were absolutely perfect. They even made a banjo shaped cake as a nod to our baby’s nickname! We LOVE McLain’s!
My husband and I booked McLain's Market to be the amazing crafters of our wedding cake and they did a phenomenal job. We cannot wait to get our anniversary cake from them next year! Our cake was 3 tiers and we requested a color change from dark to dusty blue to match our colors and they were spot on! I chose to provide my own floral and cake topper and it went so well. The delivery to our venue was a breeze and the cupcakes we ordered were gone within 30 minutes!! We also cant thank Madison Ham enough for her hard work on making, setting up and delivering this cake for us, as well as doing our consult, she is absolutely amazing and highly recommend her for any baking needs along with the whole team at McLain's!
Kat and her team at McLain's made our cake and it was stunning and so delicious! Highly recommend the almond funfetti cake with vanilla buttercream---it was the lightest, fluffiest cake we've ever had....others said the same! We paired it with mini-cinnis from Munchers Bakery and it was truly a magical Lawrence dessert bar. Reasonably affordable...for a decorated 2-tier cake + enough sheet cake to feed 120 guests, we paid about $550. They handled the delivery and communication at all stages so well. Highly recommend!
Working with Kat at McLain's on our wedding and groom's cakes was so much fun! She arranged a beautiful tasting with multiple gluten-free options, and the whole bakery team did such an amazing job crafting the exact designs we requested. The wedding cake was completely gluten-free (I have Celiac disease) and EVERYONE enjoyed it! We can't wait to order another one for our anniversary. Thank you, McLain's!
Good coffee and nice patio. The cafe is huge, so there are a lot of cozy spots to hang out and study in. It is kind a little overpriced, and they don’t have many vegan and gluten-free food options, so there’s room for improvement.
We booked an engagement party at McLain's Lawrence Campus location and had a great experience. The food was delicious, the staff was great to work with and we had so many compliments on the venue from our guests. They even closed an hour early to accommodate our party. I'd definitely recommend McLain's!
Had my engagement party here last weekend-it was PERFECT! The staff was so kind and accommodating during the whole event. Not to mention the food and drinks being delicious! The whole thing was a surprise to me, but it seemed the staff worked very well with my fiancé and our families to get it all planned! I have visited this location multiple times as a student at KU and have never had a poor experience! We will definitely be incorporating them into our wedding in a few months!
