“What a place! Main Street Coffee, located right off the Square in Independence, is everything a true coffee shop should be — no gimmicks, no distractions, just great coffee and a welcoming space to relax, create, or connect. This spot has quickly become one of my favorite places to settle in and get some writing or work done. Their big, comfy booths are perfect for spreading out with a laptop, notebook, or a good book. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between cozy and productive — soft lighting, warm tones, and just enough background buzz to feel inspired. Now let’s talk about the coffee — it’s genuinely some of the best in the entire metro area. Rich, smooth, and expertly crafted, every cup feels like it’s made with real care. Whether you’re a fan of a bold espresso or a perfectly balanced latte, they never miss. One of the things I love most is their seasonal menu. It’s always creative, always delicious, and it keeps things exciting every time I visit. You can tell the team behind the bar is passionate about what they do — from the quality of the beans to the flavors they bring to life. Main Street Coffee is more than just a coffee shop — it’s a local treasure. If you’re anywhere near Independence, do yourself a favor and stop by. Whether you’re looking for your new favorite drink, a quiet place to work, or just a great cup of coffee, this is the place.“

“We loved our macaron tower from CakeRef Bakery for our wedding! Joseph did a fantastic job throughout the whole process with communication and ensured we got everything we wanted. He matched our dusty blue wedding color perfectly! He took the time and care to deliver and set up the tower at the venue. It was one less thing I had to worry about on such a busy day. I have no complaints about working with him and plan to continue to treat myself to some macarons in the future!“

“I needed a cake for a specific event (redneck brawl) and this store DELIVERED! Literally! They brought it to my house. AND I just told them what it was for and to do whatever they would like to do on it that was relevant. They looked up the event, and did the exact logo…. I’ve ordered many many cakes from this location and they have always exceeded my expectations. Thanks guys!!!“
