Mud Pie Vegan Bakery & Coffeehouse

Mud Pie Vegan Bakery & Coffeehouse is a family-owned, 100% plant-based bakery and coffee shop on Johnson Drive in Mission, Kansas — founded in Kansas City in 2011 by Ashley Valverde and family, and relocated to Mission in late 2024 after stints in KCMO and Overland Park.

Description

Mud Pie Vegan Bakery & Coffeehouse is a 100% plant-based bakery and coffee shop at 6850 Johnson Drive in Mission, Kansas, situated between Wingstop and Avelluto’s Italian restaurant near Johnson Drive and Barkley Street (the former Nothing Bundt Cakes space).¹² Everything sold is fully vegan, with extensive gluten-free options, plus small-batch bottled grab-and-go drinks.³ Customer favorites cited in reviews include cinnamon rolls and scones, and the Mission shop is noted for a cozy interior with a lending library.⁴

The bakery has emphasized sustainability in its Mission incarnation, including glass-jar beverage service, and signaled an expansion into French pastries.² It operates as a single location.¹

Ownership and history

Mud Pie was founded in 2011 in Kansas City, Missouri, by Ashley Valverde together with her husband Michael Valverde and her parents, John and Sharon Hughes; co-owner William Sims joined a few years later.² The business is locally and family-owned throughout.²

Mud Pie expanded to Overland Park in 2017 — its first Johnson County location — which became its only location after the original Kansas City, MO shop closed during the COVID-19 pandemic.² After roughly seven years at 7319 W. 95th Street in Overland Park, Mud Pie closed that location at the end of October 2024 (final day October 31, 2024) and relocated to Mission, soft-opening the new Johnson Drive store after Thanksgiving 2024.²⁵

Everything Mud Pie sells is 100% plant-based, with extensive gluten-free options and small-batch bottled grab-and-go drinks; the rotating case leans into donuts, pop-tarts, hand pies, scones, kolaches, muffins, brownies, and cinnamon rolls, with the Mission shop expanding toward French pastries.³⁶⁷

Prices below are delivery-platform listings (Uber Eats), which run higher than in-store register prices; treat them as relative, not exact in-store cost.⁶ Availability changes often and not everything is baked every day.⁷
