BlendWell Community Cafe

Fast service and fantastic, fresh breakfast sandwich! They have drive thru or lots of parking outside and plenty of chairs to sit with clean restrooms.

This is one of my favorite places. Not only for the mission of the agency. The Commumity Services League.The food is delightful. Mr G's favorite sandwich is the Truman.This is my go-to place when meeting people for coffee. Comfortable tables and chairs. Quiet enough to carry on a conversation and work.

Very cool spot to hang out, eat a snack, drink coffee, ponder art or just chill. Knowledgeable and friendly service.Great community spot for all ages. They also have drink specials and regular events like a food truck and more.

It's a nice environment to chat with my social worker with CSL, Samantha. It's a great place to discuss plans for the of my family.

Such a wonderful addition to Independence. All proceeds go back into the community and you would think this might mean the quality would not be as good or the atmosphere as cozy but that would be inaccurate. They serve Thou Mayest coffee and local pastries as well as an extensive breakfast and lunch menu. You can use a conference room for meetings, enjoy your beverage at a table or relax in a chair or couch. Our drinks were great and my husband's sandwich was delicious. Everyone was always smiling and made sure you were happy with your order.

Here's an idea: don't have something on your menu during the summer if it's a "fall item". Every time I go here they are out of almost everything. I've gone right when they open, nothing made....I've gone several other times throughout the day and they've got maybe 3 things available plus whatever pastries are left over. The person who I've encountered majority of the time is not friendly either. Not sure where the "community" part of the name comes from.

Really horrible watery drinks no flavor at all I've tried several times I really wanted this place to be great because it's blocks away for one and not across town like star bucks but unfortunately it just isn't plus the teenagers working the window desperately need better costumer service training

Do you like coffee? Do you like giving back to the community? BlendWell is the perfect place for a hot or cold java concoction if you answered yes to those questions.Ran by the not for profit Community Service League, they use the proceeds to assist families in eastern Jackson county with utilities, food and others services.It is located in a former bank and the vault is now a conference room. The rest of the space is wide open with large modern wooden tables, comfy chairs and couches and local art on the wall. A very clean and welcoming feel, there was a fundraiser selling ornate ribbons and bows going on at the time of my visit.They have the standard coffee choices and grilled sandwiches. I like the idea and the execution of their mission and will stop by for some caffeine anytime I'm near northwest Independence.

Interesting set-up (which is the best part going here----very spacious) with potential if the food, such as the pastry, offered wasn't grocery quality and the coffee served were better than something that tastes like a Maxwell house blend. The location isn't very ideal (not so great area) so I can see why they would close early. Enough said.

The lady working in the drive through was not wearing a mask. My coffee was not even full and did not taste good. I will not go back.
