My Life: Great Day Café

I woke up early this morning with the intent to visit the Farmer’s Market in Downtown Overland Park with my Gramma. Unbeknownst to us, we found out that it is only open on Saturdays until June (when it will then also be open on Wednesday mornings), so we decided to spend our morning at a quaint little breakfast nook, Great Day Café, previously the home of Red Bench Café. This is a place with gourmet soups and sandwiches, delicious salads, and great breakfasts, all made fresh to order. I decided to practice some of my photojournalism on our breakfast date to show you through pictures this colorful and unique little café and why you should go there!

I loved those little salt and pepper shakers hugging each other!! This café is located RIGHT behind the entrance to the Overland Park Farmer’s Market, located just west of Metcalf between 79th and 80th Streets. It is a thriving open-air market that offers produce, flowers, specialty foods and entertainment for the entire family. It is open right now from 7am til about noon (just make sure you go on a Saturday morning, at least until June, otherwise there won’t be anyone there! lol).

They have some delicious coffee and specialty drinks here! My favorite is the Black and White Mocha!

What a perfect *and oh so delicous* breakfast! They also have really good breakfast sandwiches and oatmeal!

Great-Day Greg plays the flute, clarinet, and sax every Wednesday and Anne Marie Timmons plays her accordion on third Fridays.

My beautiful gramma waits patiently for her food *and the server thought I was asleep because my head was down to the table, looking through the lens, while I was taking this picture* haha!!
