Grampa's Cafe - Independence

Absolutely fantastic! This is not your typical coffee shop! Be sure to try the Boston Cream Pie latte, and you can thank me later.

Today was my first visit to BlendWell, and I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Anna. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. The café has a clean and spacious atmosphere, and it offers a wide variety of coffee options and snacks! The only reason I didn’t give a 5-star rating is that I found all the drinks to be a bit too sweet for my taste. Even without any extra syrups, the milk still has a noticeable sweetness. Despite that, I've always received great service here, so I still enjoy visiting BlendWell!

Absolutely the BEST biscuits and gravy I've ever had—fluffy sausage included! The Dark Chocolate Cappuccino was just right; it had a perfect balance of rich espresso flavor without being overly sweet. The Blackberry Peach Muffin was served warm and was also wonderfully fluffy, avoiding that excessive sweetness. The Just Veggin' panini was good but not spectacular—it would benefit from the addition of gouda, muenster, or asiago cheese, which sadly aren’t options here yet. The restaurant has a charming open layout with cozy couches and cushy tables. It’s a bit hard to spot from the street, so you might miss it. My boyfriend said it perfectly: "Everything feels like a flavored cloud!"

Serena was incredibly professional and friendly during my visit. She invited me to sit down while she prepared my order, which I really appreciated. Once it was ready, she brought it out to me and kindly asked if I needed anything else before she left. The restaurant was spotless, and I was pleasantly surprised to find a vegetarian-friendly menu in addition to their regular offerings. Additionally, the restroom was impeccably clean and well-stocked. I highly recommend this restaurant for a delicious meal, a quick snack on your way to work, or even for a business meeting, whether it’s a group gathering or a one-on-one discussion. Thank you, BlendWell! I'm definitely a regular here.

The staff is extremely friendly. The menu is unique, with everything made fresh and absolutely delicious. Plus, it supports a great cause!
