For a coffee shop that offers single origin beans and freshly roasts their beans I was hoping for more. I ordered a simple honey cappuccino. They offer it in 12oz, 14oz and 20z. A cappuccino should only be served as a 6oz. When I asked to just have a 12oz with a lot less milk they could not comprehend. I changed my order to an iced 12oz honey latte. Also their 12oz is only served with one shot which is absurd so I had to add a shot. Lastly, the espresso was very bitter and tasted burnt, this is the barista technique. Overall, coffee was not good on the day I visited due to my espresso being burnt. Staff was nice.

While in search of a nearby coffee shop that wasn't in the lobby of my hotel, I stumbled upon…read moreMessenger and found an absolute gem of a coffee shop! Situated in the base of a beautiful brick building, Messenger Coffee is a wide open, airy, bright and industrial space featuring all the classic coffees, a great assortment of house curated drinks, along with a solid selection of homemade pastries and other foods plus a good variety of novelties, bulk coffees and a few other items. The space is laid out well with the ordering counter and retail on one side and seating on the other, but it doesn't stop there...their open air industrial kitchen where all the goods are house made takes up over half the space, and is surrounded by barstools that give you a front row seat! While I loved the space, the coffee I got is easily one of the best coffees I have had anywhere...like, no joke! I went with the seasonal Iced KC Sweet Smoked Honeybear and it was absolutely delightful! Balanced, sweet, a tad smoky and tasted like the nostalgia of a honey graham cracker! Perfection. Service was great as well. The barista helped me out with selection, shared details of the drinks and made it a good interaction. Once I tasted the coffee, I knew it was a special spot, so I got back in line and grabbed a koozie so I'd remember far beyond the coffee! Overall, top tier coffee shop that I highly recommend!

I ordered an…read moreiced vanilla latte with oat milk, and it tasted unlike any latte I've ever had, in the worst possible way. I couldn't taste either the vanilla or the coffee, and there were some strange white bits floating throughout the drink that made it even more off-putting. To be fair, the service was friendly, the drink was made quickly, and the shop itself seemed like a nice place to sit down and get some work done. The atmosphere was pleasant and I could see why people enjoy spending time there. Unfortunately, none of that could make up for the coffee. The drink was genuinely unpleasant, and since that's the main reason I came, I can't overlook how bad it tasted.

It is located in an industrial part of town so do not be surprised if you feel a little lost finding it. Once you get there, there is plenty of parking and a very cool biker atmosphere that sets it apart from typical cafes. They roast their coffee in house which is cool. I ordered an iced oat milk latte that was nice and enjoyable but it was a pretty standard brew. If you enjoy the aesthetic the coffee is good and there is plenty of space to hang out with friends. It gets a little noisy so bring headphones if you are coming to get work done.

It's bigger, brighter, and more modern without losing that "come in, we're roasting your coffee" kind of feel, smell, and familiarity.

It was great to be able to use the patio since the weather was nice enough. Perfect spot to hang out and meet up with friends. Coffee on point as always, and that spring menu is great!

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.

Met the owner Deana who is extremely friendly, she's the one who was mentioned in other reviews as remembering people's names.

It's a seamless and quick ordering experience, and you'll walk out with your lunch, a canned Coke for later, a pastry and a coffee. For the girlies always in a rush, I found your next stop. I got a turkey cranberry sandwich and the bread was the star, perfectly sweet and soft. This is a hard flavor combo to find, and they executed it so well and refreshingly. A little less mayo and more cranberry would be my only tip. All sandwiches come with chips too! I didn't try a pastry, but next time I absolutely will! Not pictured was a pumpkin cream cheese loaf, it looked amazing Thank you to the staff, they were so kind and made this first-visit very enjoyable. :)

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!

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]
