Cardboard Corner Cafe at Lenexa Public Market

About

Cardboard Corner Cafe serves creative waffles loaded with unexpected flavor combinations—think jerk chicken with pineapple pico, or mac and cheese with pulled pork—alongside craft cocktails and a rotating menu of board games. The spot at Lenexa Public Market also hosts regular D&D nights and game-teaching sessions, making it a hangout where you can eat well, drink, and get deep into a campaign or learn something new. Family friendly with a patio, it's the kind of place where gamers and food-forward folks actually want to spend an afternoon or evening.
