BlendWell Community Café

5 stars in my book, not only is the coffee delicious, the food is good and the employees are so nice! Plus it feels good to get your guilty pleasure coffee without the insane Starbucks prices. ordered a coffee, muffin, and biscuits and gravy, and I spent under 10 bucks! Plus a relaxing environment that is spacious and clean.

A review from someone passing through:

We were on our way up north, passing through KC, and decided to stop for some coffee and lunch. A bit bored of Starbucks and chain fare, my wife found this interesting spot a little out the way. It's about a 5 minute drive from the interstate if you're a traveler like us, but very much worth it.

What we found was more than a coffee shop. It was a community center supporting diversity, belonging, and goodwill. I wish that we came through this area more often so that I could say we'll be back soon. The pressed sandwich was delicious and the cold brew was perfect.

Thank you Blendwell staff for a very enjoyable pit stop.

Went in and got a white ice mocha and granola pastry. It was so good and the ladies there were super kind and made me feel welcomed. Definitely recommend! 🫶😊

Today was my first time going to blend well and I got to meet the owner Anna. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. The cafe is very clean, spacious, and offers a variety of coffee options and snacks! The only reason I did not leave a 5 star review is I find all of the drinks to be too sweet for my preference. Even without any added syrups the milk is still quite sweet. Have always received great service here so I still enjoy BlendWell!

Blendwell has great coffee drinks and others at lower prices than the “other” shops. The cafe is part of the Community Service League that helps citizens in need in the Independence area. They have seasonal drinks, pastries & monthly celebrations: Black history month, book readings, meet the author, live music etc.

Attended for a private party. Man that place was nice for that. I didn't know it existed. Nice work staff and owners!

A atmosphere is a very tranquil one. Everyone is so friendly & down to earth. I really wish they were open a little longer on Saturday but otherwise I really like this place.

It’s a little out of the way BUTTTT TOTALLY WORTH IT! The customer service was great! The ladies that took our order were helpful and recommended the “kitchen sink” pizza, and it was AMAZING!!!

BEST biscuits and gravy EVER- fluffy sausage. Dark Choc Cappuccino not too sweet: just right balance of rich espresso flavor with choice of sweet flavors and nice and airy. Blackberry Peach Muffin served warm and also great balance of not too sweet and super fluffy. Just Veggin' panini was good but not great- would be great with ghouda, muenster, or asiago (but not an option here, yet). Cute open set up with couches and tables with cushy seats.
Kind of hard to see off street/easy to miss. "Everything is like a flavored cloud" -the boyfriend

Had to get my latte remade. Thought it was the milk but no it's the espresso. This is without a doubt THE WORST coffee I have had within the Kansas City metropolitan area. It tastes like pennies, its watery (no crema), is instantly bitter and sticks to your tongue. Had a panini from here once too that was miserably disgusting and burnt tasting. Don't know how this place is in business still.
