After securing tix to tour the Truman home, I had 2 hours to kill in downtown Independence, so I…read moreheaded straight for Coffee Elsewhere to check them out for the first time. The place is quite small but charming and eclectic. I wanted to sit down and stay awhile but 4 people were hogging a space that could have sat 10, which was half the available area. Why do people do this?? Anyhow... I stood at the counter and chatted up the owner about the local coffee industry while he was busy making all the drinks ahead of mine - great guy and I'm sorry I didn't get his name. By the time I got my drink, the one and only 2 seat sidewalk table had opened up, which was a good thing since he made my cortado in a ceramic cup. I sat outside and waved at strangers passing while sipping a perfectly crafted beverage with beans roasted by Rochester Coffee. Hopefully next time I visit, I can find an interior seat and continue our conversation and enjoy the art and the vibe.

However, what a nice opportunity for game players in the area or perhaps coworking. Lots of seating and the music was frank sinatra, very lovely! They also seem to host a lot of larger game nights and such and have rental space available. Service: the folks working here were so kind and friendly, the iced lattes were made well Games and coffee drinks: My friend and I got some iced lattes and enjoyed the well appointed game selections and couch seating. Super comfy. Environment: I will say there was a musty smell that triggered mine and my friends allergies after being there under an hour and I started to get a headache as we left. It could be because of the older building it's in.

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.

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.

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.

We always do mobile ordering and it usually takes about 10-15 minutes for us to get there. We had to wait 10 minutes in a parking spot after going through drive after being told to pull into a spot for our normal 2 drinks and a breakfast burrito. Weve come here so many times and always leave disappointed. Its the closest to our morning commute in to work but today was the last straw. The drinks were horrible. Service is always horrible. We saw one of the baristas spill syrup on her hand and arm and she licked it off and out of the bag. Completely unprofessional and disgusting. Shes making drinks and food. Just wash your hands .

I did not feed very safe even though it was a Thursday afternoon. The characters hanging outside the store was very sketchy at best. Maybe management can monitor the people loitering outside. Their proximity to the Wal-Mart in the same parking area is known for its frequent police presence. I would advise early afternoon visits only.
