Aunt Netters Cafe
340 Elmore St, Lawrence, KS
Crema's Take
“This Lawrence institution has earned its reputation as a beloved pie destination, landing on USA Today's top 10 list and drawing road trippers from across the country who make it a must-stop on their travels. The cozy, family-friendly atmosphere makes it equally perfect for lingering over house-made cinnamon rolls and pie or grabbing a quick coffee, though recent reviewers suggest the kitchen's consistency may have wavered on some breakfast items. What keeps people coming back are those legendary pastries and pies—the real heart of what makes Aunt Netters feel like a genuine community gathering spot in the heart of Kansas.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Nice cozy place, the lunch was good. We had the chicken quesadilla. Good service. Nice place
Aunt Netter’s has a good variety of “house made” pastries. We tried the cinnamon rolls and found them to be just as good as the recommendations we had received. We also tried cherry pie and coconut cream pie because they looked so appetizing in the case. This is why I rated 4…
