Auntie Mae's Cafe, Wichita

Old-fashioned tea services and retro tufted booths fill the dining room at Auntie Mae's Cafe, evoking the homestyle restaurant's adjacent candle and gift shop. Diners can sip more than 17 roasts of gourmet coffee with breakfasts of belgian waffles and southwestern scrambles. The menu also includes entrees such as fried pork chops and burgers with caramelized onions, which are served beneath a wall of posters from classic musicals, such as Thoroughly Modern Millie, Wicked, and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Car Wash. On their way out, patrons can step inside Auntie Mae's candle and gift shop, which stocks hand-poured candles, carved wood keepsakes, furniture, carnival glass, and other items made in Kansas.
