Whether it’s the holiday season or just any old time, pies in Kansas are a wonderful treat. We’ve got lots of scrumptious places to pick up whatever flavor you’re craving, whether it’s pecan, apple, cherry, or something less traditional. One of our favorite spots for Sunflower States desserts is the delightful Ladybird Diner. This creative eatery in Lawrence combines the comfort of an old-fashioned diner with the off-the-wall recipes you’d expect from a modern cafe. It’s absolutely wonderful, and the pie selection is amazing!

Ladybird Diner is the type of spot that feels incredibly timeless, but it actually just opened up in 2014.

The retro styling and coziness you’ll find here makes it seem like it’s been a Kansas staple for decades.
