Drove 20 minutes to get coffee here and despite online hours saying open until 6 we were told they…read morewere closed at 5 pm. They should update their hours - we drove an awfully far way to get there so it was a bummer to see 3 staff members walking out closing doors saying no more customers. I'm not sure if we will ever find reason to go back there since we were out of place visiting a family member in the area. Seems like a really cute shop - probably a great local spot and unfortunately just a weird fluke experience. The employees were really friendly about it but it was just a bummer. If they want NEW business I think updating hours online would be beneficial.

The dude behind the counter was super chill--he let us roam around and even noticed me eyeing the chocolate-covered espresso bean gumball machine, proceeding to point out the stash of "secret quarters" so I could grab some! ​I ordered a chilled chai latte for the road, which came out super fast in a really neat, crafty cup. The drink was just as sweet and cozy as the shop itself. I love local mom-and-pop places like this, and I'd take a double shot at this spot any day!

Open at 7am, Coffee Elsewhere wasn't quite ready for me when I rolled into Independence, so I had…read moreto spend the earliest part of my morning with the Green Siren people before finally getting the independent coffee I actually wanted. The wait turned out to be worth it. I arrived just after they opened and stepped into a space that's eclectic, funky and a little random in the best way, complete with bookcases of games that gives the place its own personality. My cortado was the epitome of perfection, rich and balanced, and because it took a moment to prepare, I was handed a free chocolate chip cookie. That little surprise absolutely blew my ketosis but I didn't regret it for a second. I stayed for two hours, settling in and enjoying the atmosphere with their wifi before heading out to explore Independence. Coffee Elsewhere is one of those neat little spots that feels genuinely local, the kind of place that does coffee right and doesn't try to be anything other than itself. It was a great stop and exactly the kind of independent shop I look for when I'm on the road. [Review 822 of 2026 - 540 in Missouri - 26003 overall]
