    Ladybird Diner

    Come for the diner food, stay for the pie. The pie case here is a work of art. Order whatever Meg made today.

    Editor's Pick

    "The best pie you will eat in Lawrence, hands down."

    02

    Betty Rae's Ice Cream

    Kansas City's favorite ice cream has arrived in Lawrence. The burnt ends ice cream sounds weird but tastes like heaven.

    4821 W. 6th Street STE M
    03

    Aunt Netter's Cafe

    Worth the short drive to Lecompton. Their pie is the stuff of local legend. Order two slices, trust us.

    Cleo and Leo on Elm Street

    Not just coffee—their baked goods are phenomenal. A North Lawrence treasure.

    Cold Stone Creamery

    The classic mix-in experience. When you want your ice cream folded, mashed, and completely customized on a frozen granite slab.

    Eileen's Colossal Cookies

    Massive cookies with a frosting-to-cookie ratio that borders on irresponsible. Exactly what you need.

    Fat Shack

    Late-night munchies elevated to an art form. Deep-fried Oreos and milkshakes that will put you straight to sleep.

    Great Harvest Bread Co.

    Cafe Buckaroo

    A delightful spot with treats that will make you glad you ventured off the beaten path.

    Insomnia Cookies

    The other late-night cookie king. Open absurdly late for when the midnight sugar craving hits hard.
