The pastry shop and cafe known as Napoleon Bakery clearly has more lives than Thomasina the Cat. After pastry chef James Holmes bought the venerable Westport-based restaurant and pastry shop from its original owners, the Schanzer family, in 2008, he moved the business out to 119th Street in Overland Park in 2010. The same year, Holmes opened — and closed — a satellite venue in Briarcliff Village. After shuttering the Overland Park bakery in the autumn of 2010, he opened another satellite bakery in the historic Jazz District at 1601 East 18th Street; it also has closed.
But wait! It's back! Six weeks ago, Holmes took over the old Muddy's Coffeehouse space at 3945 Main (yes, there have been a couple of other short-lived tenants in the space since Muddy's closed). The new business, operated by Holmes' daughter, Taylor, is called Napoleon Pastry Bar and is open Tuesday through Fridays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

At this location, they could easily stay open later and attract the studying student crowd. Glad to see something in that spot.
If they in fact don't pay vendors they would have a hard time getting credit or service at all. At any rate it would be nice to see some links or other proof rather than unsubstantiated all-caps accusations.
Napoleons delivered my lunch!! #1 Chicken Milano Panini sweet potato chips. Surprised me with a chocolate amaretto cupcake omg!!!
WHY, WHY THEY KEEP GIVING THEM A PERMIT ??!!
IF THEY DON'T PAY RENT, DON'T PAY BILLS, DON'T PAY THEIR VENDORS, AND THEY STILL RUNNING FROM THE IRS
WILL HE STOP IF THEY TAKE HIM TO JAIL ??
SOMETHING NEEDS TO HAPPEN BUT FAST BEFORE HE RIPS SOMEONE ELSE
Charles, this one is too close to home not to try.
If Debbie says they have good chili, then who am I to doubt a stranger?
Their Dinner rolls used to be the best, and you could not get a better Almond Croissant...anywhere. Hope tradition will be discovered again, and that they stay put long enough to develop the clientele they seek. If you bake it, we will come!
I wonder if they'll pay rent this time (you wonder why they keep moving?). Landlord beware.
