Butterfield's Bakery & Market will join Lenexa Public Market tenants this week, debuting their new-concept menu at its grand opening this Friday (December 4, 2020) at 8750 Penrose Lane in Lenexa, Kan.
Kate Smith, chef/owner of current Market tenant Kate Smith Soirée, will serve soups, salads and sandwiches featuring house-made breads for lunch and dinner, brunch on weekends and an expanded menu of pastries and ice cream treats. The restaurant's open layout allows guests to watch as bakers craft fresh breads and pastries throughout the day.
Smith’s specialty French macarons proved popular early on at shopping expos and weddings. In March 2019, she began selling macarons as a day-cart vendor at the Lenexa Public Market, then later expanded to a specialty confections stall, Kate Smith Soirée. When an anchor restaurant space became available in summer 2020, Smith decided to expand even further, offering a new comfort food concept via Butterfield’s Bakery.
Butterfield's Bakery & Market's regular hours begin Dec. 4 as follows: Tuesday-Friday: 10 a.m.-8 p.m.; Saturday: 8 a.m.-8 p.m.; Sunday: 8 a.m.-3 p.m.
