Conchas are the new donut

Hidden on the first floor of Overland Park’s BOK Financial building is Aurora Cafe and Bakery, a small eatery serving cold brew lattes, well-crafted sandwiches and some seriously sensational pastries. Husband and wife duo Javier and Kerianne Nuñez bring both their culinary backgrounds to create a menu that you can’t go wrong choosing from, but it’s Javier’s artisan conchas that steal the show.
