What a great space! I came here on a date because I love coffee and they indulged my whims. I'm…read moreso glad I did as this place is great. 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.

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.

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 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.

I ordered a decaf Americano and a chocolate chip cookie. My friend had some coffee and a breakfast burrito. She is a huge fan of their burritos and it looked good. I enjoyed the cookie a great deal. They also have Hannah's Donuts available. The coffee was a bit thin and weak. Not much flavor. They also don't have Sweet N Low, so I will bring my own next time.

I like their style, even better the motto.. I can't state anything better than what's on their website! Unique way to serve coffee and contribute to reducing waste (to-go cups with a sustainable glass jar program). So my drink was in a mason jar ($1.75) , with lid & a coozie which I believe I can return for refund, refill or swap. My hot Bourbon Vanilla Latte (Macadamia Milk) was a warm jar of goodness! Outside of taking in the art on the walls, the poetic excerpts, there's clothing merch which looks to be made onsite, this place is such a vibe! house Coffee, breakfast foods with a slap of good ole character!

Absolutely beautiful and oddly creepy art everywhere. The ceiling with the hanged leprechaun and head of a rabbit and girl really take the creepy odd vibes home haha. I tried the tumeric ginger tea - I really enjoyed the punch of tumeric and ginger to my mouth. The balance was just right and flavorful to me. I'd soooo get this again! The lemonade coffee was odd to me - not my cup of a drink. The latte drink was a bit heavy on the bitterness for me but coffee lovers will enjoy it. The staff was friendly and odd as well - very fitting for the theme! I give it 5 stars because the vibes blew me out the water.

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.

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.
