8 Best coffee shop in Independence, Missouri (MO) 2024

Always fast and friendly, there is never more than 2 cars in line at one time. They are extremely fast and extraordinarily friendly. From their coffee blenders to their fruit blenders. They are absolutely delicious. Treat yourself to either a morning pick me up or a evening fruit delight. Either way, you cannot go wrong with Scooters coffee. They are not just a coffee shop ~William

Came to purchase a box of Munchkins (donut holes). Selection was limited to chocolate glazed at the time I was there. Manager had some difficulty scanning my QR code, though I thought everyone was trying to be helpful. Finally, access is a bit limited: the only driveway is off 291– no entrance from Hub Drive, as on the map. ~Maxwell

Ordered a coffee traveler with 30 min of advance notice, and it was ready on time! Not only that, but it was generously set up with lots of the “additives.” The customer service was great, too! I’m definitely coming back next time I need a coffee traveler. However, the line at the drive-up window is always long. ~Maxwell

As this is the last standing Gloria Jeans (that I know of) near me, I was super excited to get some great coffee. I haven’t had Gloria Jeans in 10 years or so. We were passing through town (3 hrs away) and knew of this location so we had to make a stop. Did not disappoint and was just as I remembered it. Best coffee out there! Wish there were more locations. ~Alison

Cute little local coffee shop. Nice atmosphere, game corner, and good pasties and drinks! Tea and coffee. Hot or cold. Seasonal flavors as well. And great customer service with a smile! ~Caitlyn

The Drive thru often gets busy with both ordering lanes backed up. The staff does a good job keeping the lines moving. Often you have an awkward wait at the order speaker waiting for someone to speak back to acknowledge that you are waiting. It is often a better strategy to just park, order at one of the self-order kiosk and get your food more quickly than you would via the drive thru. Inside the store the dining room feels very fun and like a cool vibe to be in. It is a good place to get some work done over lunch or just take a break from it all. ~Milton

Today was my first time going to blend well and I got to meet the owner Anna. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. The cafe is very clean, spacious, and offers a variety of coffee options and snacks! The only reason I did not leave a 5 star review is I find all of the drinks to be too sweet for my preference. Even without any added syrups the milk is still quite sweet. Have always received great service here so I still enjoy BlendWell! ~Alt

I spend $17-20 a day on Starbucks (guilty pleasure). My drinks are typically good but I noticed some things lately. 1- Whomever is making my drinks and I order OATMILK they constantly put whole milk and I'm lactose and I feel it instantly. Sooo not cool, secondly it's not OUR FAULT you're running out of caramel (worker told me that). If I pay over $1for EXTRA CARAMEL DRIZZLE , I want JUST that. Even if I ask for the line it's barely some in there. Don't short the customer because we're paying for IT!!! I'm not getting it free, I spend good money daily and it's starting not to be worth it. Might consider making my drinks at home because this is getting ridiculous. ~Lady
