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.

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.

The reason why I am not giving this place 5 stars is because of the lack of customer service. Both the cashier and barista were not very friendly. They were brisk. I tried to engage in a converation about their pastries and they seemed disinterested and just wanted to move on to taking orders and making drinks. They weren't even busy. I arrived an hour after they opend and the place was 10% full. The food was good. I got the avocado toast and with a littl more salt and hot sauce; it was delicious. The place also smelled amazing. I was engulfed in the aroma of cinnamon, sugar and butter and roasted coffee. I could not have been happier except for the lack of warmth and feeling of connection and a sense of community one often gets in an independent coffee shop. The hot latte I got was good. Oat-milk was $1.25 extra which I thought was a bit steep for Kansas City. But I guess prices/inflation affects us all. The ham and cheese croissant I got was super delicious. It was better than the avocado toast. I would get the croissant again. The rooftop area was a vibe. There were more people up there talking so it had better energy. I think on the first and second floor, most people were just working and on their laptops, so it was overall very quiet.

This cafe is inviting, with lots of comfortable chairs in the main sitting area, then several tables and chairs in a raised platform on the back wall , sort of like a mezzanine. Bright and cheery atmosphere, they have a bulletin board above their side table with condiments and utensils. Met the owner Deana who is extremely friendly, she's the one who was mentioned in other reviews as remembering people's names. We chatted a bit, she and her husband also own the realty company two doors down. They seem to take pride in being a part of and serving their community.

Okay, so they let me be picky with the danish I wanted, warmed it up, and brought my drink to me in the back while I was chilling. Top tier service all around, thank you handsome lad with black hair (sorry I never got your name!) The lavender Vanilla latte was delicious - not too sweet, had the right amount of coffee balanced with the rest. I really enjoyed it I haven't had a poptart in forever for a good reason but when I took a close look at this I could tell icing was generous and applied recently, and the filling would be great. And I was right! Also the blueberry part of the danish melted in my mouth since it was warmed up - absolutely delightful! The vibes are great for crowds, dates, or even a hangout spot. There is a bar in the back if you want to take the vibes even further. I'll be returning for another poptart and drink :)

The new owners have made this more of a chill coffee house and it really works and fits the vibe of our neighborhood.

On a spring day, relax with a book or paper at the outdoor tables.

They have self branded stuff like hoodie sweatshirts, coffee beans. Stopped here for lunch on the way from airport to hotel after reading some very positive reviews and I was not disappointed. Its a cute little store with very attentive staff and some special recipes. I got myself the Vegan burrito and the Matcha tea. The burrito had a soy churro, tofu, sweet potato, spinach and mustard sauce . It was very filling , and tasted so good that I was stuffing my myself even when my stomach was asking me to stop .... and then the cold Matcha tea- the tea was good but I needed it more sweetened . But, it made a good combination with my warm burrito. I was soo full, I skipped even supper.... I had to listen to my stomach sometime ! The curios on the wall are cute and tgey are for sale. Handmade by local artists, they make great souvenirs if only they had the one little word Kansas on them . One thing I found difficult, finding a cab at 3 pm. It took 20 min for the cab to arrive. Am not sure if it was the timing or the location. Best to go there in your own vehicle. Would love to come again if I am in the city.

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.
