24 Best Coffee Shops near Independence

“A different Starbucks messed up my order and when I asked the other Starbucks to correct it they refused. I walked into this Starbucks and they made me feel right at home. I was welcomed, listened too, and they made the moment right. Thank you for restoring my faith in Starbucks.“

“I've been here a couple of times. It's a small gem on Woodward Ave across from M1 concourse. They have a great selection of donuts. It's a very popular spot so get in there, make your decision, pay, then get out of the way. There are a few chairs to sit and eat your donuts and drink your coffee but I would recommend getting it to go. It's just too busy in there to really enjoy it. It's fast pace and loud environment. I can't wait to go back and try more items on the menu.“

“With many cafes and coffee shops in the vicinity, one must stand out in order to win the local business. CFE does EXACTLY that! I was so incredibly impressed with CFE. The historical setting of the coffee shop has modern decor touches while keeping the building’s classical charm. Upon walking in a was greeted by truly smiling, happy staff! There is seriously nothing better! I told them I was new to the shop and wondered what they offered. The young man politely showed me their simple classic menu, seasonal specials, and the beautiful pastries and cakes. He let me know that all of the pastries were house made (except for one, which was made at a local bakery). I ordered a Cozy Chai Latte from the seasonal menu. The staff member encouraged me to pick a seat and he would bring it to my table. Such a nice touch. All pricing was very reasonable. My goodness, I have never had such a delicious cup of anything in my life. Warm, flavorful, frothy, and served in a REAL MUG! I’m sure they have disposable takeout mugs for those on the go, but I did appreciate a legitimate mug while I enjoyed catching up with a friend. An array of sweeteners and coffee accessories are available at a self-service station, along with a lemon water dispenser. The interior of the store was clean, attractively decorated, and spacious. There are many cozy options for seating - couches, armchairs, big tables, small tables, and outdoor options for the warm weather. I loved how the semi-separation of areas/rooms in the shop allowed for some more privacy. Plus, bar seating is available near the barista. The single unisex bathroom was spacious and clean, and well stocked. It is a typical bathroom but still decorated and maintained. The attached parking lot is a big benefit, too. No need to walk from the municipal lots downtown! Plenty of parking is available in the dirt lot. A low-grade, accessible ramp is present from the lot to the entryway. As I anticipated, the friendly staff said goodbye to us on our way out, flashing big smiles all around. The hospitality here made me want to write this review even more - these people care about the establishment and I wish for them to know that it didn’t go unnoticed. I will absolutely be sharing this establishment with anyone I know in the market for an elevated coffee house, with staff who are happy to be there and delectable beverages made with care (all while paying lower-than-Seattle-Based-Coffee-Company’s prices). Kudos, CFE!!!Parking: Dirt lot on the side of the establishment. There was plenty of parking when I went on a Friday afternoon.Wheelchair accessibility: Low-grade ramp from parking lot to porch and entryway.“

“Awesome quiet little place tucked in the great town of Oxford . Super friendly staff , coffee to die for. They'll remember your order to a T if you go there enough, highly recommend. Starbucks doesn't have anything on these guys and gals“

“Potential to be a five star. Unfortunately, the service at the bar is consistently AWFUL. Very good food and drinks.If you’re interested in working at Honchos behind their bar, please know it appears as though you’re not allowed to wear a bra.“

“I went here on a Sunday morning with a gal pal. We both enjoyed our mocha lattes. I had one made with regular milk, no whipped cream. She got one with skim milk and whipped cream. The cinnamon bagel with cream cheese was pretty good, too. The service was good. However, I wouldn't recommend this place if you're in a hurry.“

“[please "like" if this is helpful]Cute neighborhood bodega. Not a huge selection, but you can get many Mexican American basics, including spices. They also have a restaurant menu. The most interesting to me was their Tes Leches cake -- wow! I can't wait to try it. It looks very special. The folks at the counter are friendly, and add a welcoming local vibe.“

“Used to be my in-between work wifi pit stop when I needed one, and love the high top seating bar.. coffee was usually good, sometimes inconsistent but also a great place to stop instead of the corporate coffees on the high traffic coffee hours when you can get immediate service here. Can often be nice and quiet too for studying with enough privacy if you need to have a meeting.“

“Small place tucked in corner of a strip mall. Super nice guys. Open on Easter morning. Really good bagels, and jalopeno cream cheese too. Asked for a dozen variety with one cinnamon sugar, and very happy with the mix. And only 20.75 even with 2 tubs of cream cheese. Cash only.“

“This place is really neat! My boyfriend and I stopped in to grab some coffee, and we were not disappointed! Staff was super friendly and helpful, coffee was DELICIOUS! I had a panda mocha Frappuccino with an extra shot (so good! perfect amount sweetness and coffee flavor) and my boyfriend had an iced macchiato, which he said was delicious too (it was, but I like my coffee sweeter haha). The inside of the store itself was really cute; lots of space to hangout and relax. I definitely recommend stopping in if you're in or near the Legacy Center looking for some coffee or a snack ?“

“I've lived in LO my entire life but haven't been here since they opened... maybe because I wasn't a fan of coffee back then lol! Went here this weekend to spend some time with a friend and saw several other people that I know, so it's a hangout loved by friends! So cozy and inviting, with quick, friendly and earnest service. Oh... and the coffee and scone were great too!“

“An institution. While other places in the area have withered away to relics, this place has remained true to what it's always been. You'll get your food and remember that this is how it's supposed to look. The people who make it care about it, and want you to savor it, and just enjoy being there.It's a cafe. It's the cafe. In a desert of aging strip malls, this is an oasis.Look through your phone, find an old friend you haven't talked to in a while, and arrange to meet up here. You'll smile, hug, laugh, grab a coffee, talk, then great food, more talking, more coffee, more laughs, and you'll wonder why you don't do this more often. This is a place to feel good.“

“My family loves this place so I had to try it. The strawberry bagel bomb was delicious, the sausage egg and cheese bomb was very good. I tried their blueberry scone and while it did taste good I do not understand how it can be called a scone. It was more like a very soft blueberry biscuit. The bubble tea was overly sweet and not at all traditional bubble tea (I wasn’t expecting it to be but it was no where near as good as actual boba). The ambiance was amazing. My sister loves their hot chocolate, I didn’t try it. Their coffee with cream was a three out of five.“

“Absolutely delicious and amazing vibe. Sweet, kind happy customer service. Smoothies are creamy and yummy with organic ingredients. All homemade food items which are all a delightful treat. I seriously never write reviews but this place is worth your time ...they also make espresso drinks which really nice“

“Staff are nice, music is nice, owner was chilling out in the cafe when I went. Coffee was also very good, got a black cold brew. Not sure what their budget looks like, but an update on the atmosphere is what this place needs to take it to the next level.“

“Sonya was so very nice and informative about the company. My first time was great. I am disappointed that the girls cannot accept business cards. I specifically specialize in women's self defense and was the reason for my visit. Yes the whole bikini thing is cool so I figured they might be interested in my services for their own well being. To the owner please consider contacting me. We can do a group rate for how ever many gals wanna participate.One more thing, i went a second time this last Friday and I forgot about my punch card! Lol“

“When you’re too tired on a Monday to drive to your favorite biggby so you DoorDash it and still receive the always above and beyond customer service from the manager turned buddy Alex and crew! Just one of many reasons I frequent this location and love it so much!“

“I go here pretty early in the morning. They do a great job. My orders are accurate and the staff is nice. I’ve also gone in the afternoon and had a good experience as well. Definitely a good location. Also I stand firm that Tim’s has the best donuts. You won’t see me getting other competitors’ donuts.“

“I absolutely love this McDonald's. I used to bring my kids here when they were little and now I'm bringing my grandchildren here. We always have a good time. We arrive hungry and full of energy then leave full of food and all tired out. Thanks for staying open. Thank you for keeping your place structure. Not too many around anymore.“

“We usually come here for Baskin Robbins. Their ice cream is always served at the right temperature, not too cold or frozen so you can taste all the flavors across your taste buds. Not much seating inside as it shares with the Shell gas station.“

“Great place! Everyone works so hard and is able to keep a smile on their face! I have watched many customers be extremely rude to the baristas and they are still able to stay calm. My favorite place to study and get an amazing drink! Thank you to the team working today - Kelly, Raven, Jalina, and Gordon!“

“I’ve been going here for years! They are pleasant and I typically go through the drive through and they recognize my voice! I always order hot chocolate with extra whip cream and they are so kind with making sure I get it exactly how I want it!“

“This Starbucks is always so busy and unfortunately there is not enough staff due to the situation most businesses are dealing with right now because of covid. But, Barb and everyone at the window for the drive thru is so kind and friendly. Definitely my favorite Starbucks! :)“

“I love the order ahead option on the app. There's limited parking and the drive through line is usually long, but if you can find a parking spot and just run in to grab your order, it's so quick and easy. My only complaint is they packaged the cake pops with the breakfast sandwiches and the pops melted... My kids were bummed. But always consistently delicious food, drinks and coffee.Parking: I wish there were more spaces, there were none available in the lot.“
