Big shout out to him and his crew for another spectacular coffee shop in a new and well thought out location. I love the decor too b.t.w. The Yelp review site still has images of the Delaware location, and it's deceiving because I assumed it was still same location but different owners. It's the exact opposite, same great faces but different space--thankfully so. The coffee is still delicious, and you can't expect it not to be since Drew knows his coffee. The breakfast items are still the ones he had at the Delaware and all good here too. Honestly, the place has that very cool old town coffee shop charm.

I got an large iced pumpkin spice oatmilk latte and it was $8.25.. Definitly a bit pricey and the pumpkin loaf was $5. We also got a bagel that was $4.75 and the bottom was unfortunately burnt. The coffee itself was decent. The staff that assisted us was pretty friendly but the other gal didn't give any friendly vibes. I don't know if I'd go back with all the other coffee options.

One of the few places in Independence opened on a Sunday afternoon. I had the Salted Caramel Almond and they had a blended Carmel Apple Brown Butter with Oat milk. The owners were great and showed us so much care and attention. I will definitely be back.

I've been here a couple of times now but I'm reviewing based on this experience. I contacted their…read morepage via Facebook about making a reservation for a part of the space. Paige answered me almost right away was very helpful to not only help me reserve the space where the couches are, but add chairs as needed and be accommodating. My visit was on a Saturday morning. At that time they were not busy, which made our coffee quite peaceful to hold conversation. They were able to work with me on food modifications, and I ended up having a lettuce wrapped burger, as well as some delicious coffee drinks. I ordered some seasonal specialties they had and was not disappointed. The service was very nice, and they brought your food and drinks out to you. The space itself is very fun. It's a lively open colorful atmosphere with cute signs and is well decorated. It would be a very nice place for conversation, reading a book, or working. They also have a game room with a pool table and board games to choose from for some game time. They have an events calendar too! I would highly recommend this place as I feel like it's friendly for individuals and families alike. It will be in rotation of places I visit going forward.

This review is for the experience I had yesterday during my quick trip to the mall…read more This little, new coffee place was in the old business spot where Teavana used to be for years at the Independence Center. Though it's been a good handful of years since then I still miss Teavana dearly. Giraffe Coffee was a fun experience and Angel, the lovely person working the shop was such a delight. Very sweet and engaging. ^__^ She prepared my small frozen blended coffee, which I had with almond milk & hazelnut syrup. Honestly, the coffee was WAY too sweet for my personal preference, but of course I still had a nice time there. The boost of energy was why I did it! It certainly provided that and a mild tummy ache afterward lol.. Next time I'll have to try one of their teas! My only reason for swinging by the mall as soon as I got off work was to do some product exchanges at another business there, which was successful. Never hurts trying someth'n new and all! Again, next time I'm trying one of their teas. It's still really weird for me knowing Teavana isn't there anymore, and honestly I don't think I'll ever be "used" to it. But I'll forever associate that business spot with them as time passes.

**I have been to Scout Coffee so many times, I can't believe I have never reviewed it!! Weird**…read more I am a bit of a (self-prescribed) coffee snob. I don't want to drink any other coffee but really, really good craft coffee. If I drink anything else (from a fast food place, or Starbucks, or a Keurig), I will only do so if it's the only option and only if there is heavy whipping cream available. Scout Coffee is my saving grace while I am in Blue Springs. Their coffee is excellent, as good as some big dogs (like Onyx Coffee, Black and White, Intelligentsia, or Counter Culture). Great flavors. Great pour over options. Wonderful seasonal drinks that are not too sweet (although I wish they used better syrup, like Pink House Alchemy). They also serve some bakery items (limited) that are very good! I love their cinnamon sugar posh tart. The atmosphere of the shop is eclectic but comfy. Weird decorations, but it works. In the warmer days, the front porch is a great place to sit and visit with friends, or read a good book. They have good merch options and sell their coffee by both the bag and the bucket. All in all: excellent coffee. Worth the drive if you are 20-30mins nearby in KC. Oh, and the service is excellent! So friendly. So helpful.

I also got a Blueberry muffin, that also came how it is. The Barista had this almost deadpan way of asking about flavor and asking about heating the muffin. It was endearing. The pastry case was pretty bare. They use beans from The Roastaire. No public restroom. Probably because it was next door to the DMV office. The music was good. Lots of people sitting around. Not a very inviting place. Parking in the lot behind the building was good.
