This coffee shop is amazing. The staff is always so kind and never rush even when they’re busy. I absolutely LOVE their coffee. I wish they had a stand-alone location in the liberty area, I would go there constantly. Unfortunately since independence is quite a drive we only get to visit when we go to the mall or are close to the mall, which is seldom the case. I 100000% recommend them!
There is a reason this place is still open. The coffee is better than Starbucks anyday!!
Gloria Jeans is consistently the highlight of my day! The staff is charming, the drinks are delicious, & even the smell of the coffee beans are enticing! All of the baristas have a good grasp of the menu & all of their offerings. I’ve truly never had a bad drink or experience from here. Even when it has been busy & I’ve come in, they’ve made time to exchange pleasantries & send me out the door with a smile. I’m a regular & they definitely know my order when I come in (a raspberry mocha over ice)! I must warn you though, you’ll never be able to stomach Starbucks again after having Gloria Jeans. I know it is about the coffee, & their’s truly is the best & most smooth (!), but honest to goodness the kind, warm, & familiar baristas are what have me coming back. Truthfully, my only qualm is having to venture into the Independence Center every time I have a hankering for their coffee, but I’d even say it’s worth the risk haha. Sharee, Aj, & Jen, you guys are rockstars, thank you for giving me my caffeine fix when I come in & making me tolerable to be around haha!
My family and I were enjoying a Sunday at the mall and we decided to try this coffee shop. We are not familiar with the menu, so of course we had to look it over. The young man who was taking our order seemed irritated with us and at one point rolled his eyes at my daughter. We were the only customers, so its not like it was busy. Also, my youngest daughter does not like coffee and I was not sure what the non-coffee selections were. I asked the cashier and he just point over to a board like I was wasting his time! Ummmm isnt that his job?? I atleast gave 2 stars because the lady that gave us our drinks was very nice. This just happened yesterday 4/25/2021. The coffee was really good, but Im not sure if the service is worth it??
I only go here about once a year at Christmas. My sister-in-law loves there coffee. Too bad the only one around is 100 miles from me. None the less I really enjoy there coffee as well and what ever she gets for Christmas I buy myself to. This year it was unfortunate that they had discontinued most of there Christmas blends. The only one they had was out of stock to. The girl helping me was very very helpful. Wish I knew her name cause I would post it. She was very friendly and went over what they did have available and gave me a small sample of one. I have never had bad service when I’ve been there even when they are busy. I recommend them if you have never tried before. My only complaint is that I went for a gift for one of the Christmas flavor beans but they had none. With the year we have had though with covid it’s not something to be unexpected. Coffee is a bit pricey but the flavors so far have been worth there weight in gold.
I have never been disappointed going here. The flavors are so robust and continue on even if you bring the beans home do it yourself. Not to mention the multiple different sweet to tempt your taste buds. The crew are always the most polite and helpful. I have yet to taste everything, but I am determined! I would go every day if I could! This is real coffee not the other one everybody goes to not to name names SB. Lemon bats, chocolate, berry, muffins, cheesecake,cookies and yes...more. so many flavors in coffee alone to make you happy. So need this in my daily life!!!!
Great customer service great coffee of all kinds and also teas very tasty pastrys also and after your tenth purchase get the next one on the house
I go here several times a week, Gloria Jean’s is severely underrated in my opinion. Their coffee reigns supreme for me. Made the mistake of stopping at Starbucks in a hurry and their coffee just doesn’t compare it tastes so burnt. It’s unfortunate, they’re the Walmart of coffee. Glorias is the best and the employees at this location are very sweet and fast!
My friend and I wanted Irish Cream flavor. First she did not put creamer in mine at all, then we found out the lady has given us Columbian. Not a way to start the day!
The drinks are wonderful! I enjoy the taste of coffee and the ice coffee+a extra star in my book ! Thanks Glorias for hanging in and not closing youre doors. We all need a boost now a days!!
Ive never had a bad coffee from here. My girls like their cold brew🌟
It’s ok. My first time there o asked the lady twice which was better the mocha voltage or the white chocolate mocha and she just explained what they were... I told her again I have never been here which do you think is better.. and she explained what they were again..so I just ordered the white chocolate mocha... disappointing she didn’t have “time” to tell me her opinion
The best gourmet coffee in KC. The best grade coffee. Get the best, dont short yourself.
I love Gloria Jeans coffee. I just ask for good coffee the young boy suggested me Irish latte and its really too good in taste I like it. That young boy is polite and nyc.Thanks 🤩😍 and the winter wonderland special blend is good too
I go in here frequently with a friend of mine and i’ve never had an order messed up, or a bad experience with the employees. The woman working the last time I was here, I believe her name was Cheryl, was very respectful and got my order made correctly and accurately. All around, a good store!
Always really yummy. I got a regular and I couldnt even finish it. Theyre a little on the expensive side, especially when youre with a group. But always pretty worth it. Dont have to wait to long. Super cute shop. Smells really nice too.
Very tasty coffee!
AMAZING!! RADDEST COFFEE SHOP!! If you do or do not like coffee this is the place for you! I love both, but here I like to get the non coffee drink avalanche and pretty sure you could add coffee in too. Incredible customer service from the baristas in this welcoming hang out. Oh! The red velvet cupcakes are stellar as well!!
Love this place. Always come here to buy beans buy the pound. It is pretty pricey and costs significantly more than anywhere else, but their coffee is amazing and they have great and unique flavors, like amaretto (my favorite) and German chocolate cake. Staff is always super nice and friendly too. Prepared drinks are alright and again different from the typical starbucks type place.
Always a great time everytime I get coffee and or muffins here!!! Good prices, amazing flavor choices and combinations and decent staff. Sometimes there is a small issue with staff being a little rude but honestly they are always busy or slammed so I just dont even worry about them. If you love coffee then Gloria Jeans is the place to go!!!
This is hands down my favorite coffee place, and Im not just saying that because I used to work there. It was my favorite before I worked there, while I worked there and after. All the baristas are put through rigorous training and know their stuff by the time theyre allowed to work alone. They will help you find your new favorite drink and if you dont love it theyll make you something else. Also, let me tell you, everything is always fresh and clean.
Absolutely positively THE best blended coffee Ive ever had. The place smells so very amazing I just had to try it out. My son and I both wanted to try the coco mint blender so we decided to split a large. It was 32 Oz! Delicious!
From the deft skills of the baristas to the tasty selection of coffee beans, Gloria Jeans is superb. I tend not to like flavoured coffees but the natural approach that Gloria Jean takes with their beans has never disappointed me. They are situated in a classic mall setting and this location has been here since the beginning in the 1980s. There are tables at the back and a nice selection of gift items, snacks, and basic sandwiches and pastries to choose from. Even if you arent shopping at the mall, I recommend stopping in for some brew.
Best costumer service! The manager is super sweet and so is the whole staff is great
Absolutely wonderful!!! Great environment, very comfy feel as soon as you walk in and i totally recommend the caramel, vanilla chiller with an extra espresso shot. So amazing will probably stop by everytime we go to the mall now.
Gloria Jeans has gotten me through many years of long work days! They are always friendly and treat you like family. Cherie is always looking out for her customers and goes above and beyond when it comes to customer service. Lets not forget the delicious drinks!
The people working there were so sweet! I got a vanilla latte (which tasted amazing, by the way) and went back for a second coffee, and they gave me a discount just for coming back! Their service and coffee are both amazing! Definitely consider going there if youre in need of some good coffee and smiles.
Excellent customer service. Ordered the coconut coffee with non dairy milk. No jitters or upset stomach.
This is the go to place for my husband and I each week. The service is amazing! Love the the dairy free Chocolate Truffle Mocha!!!
Used to absolutely adore this place but lately its gone down hill. The customer service is shotty depending on who is working and they seem to be out of their most popular things lately. Hoping things turn around
We asked for 7 coffees and they could only make us 4 ☹️ because they didnt have enough things to do the other 3, its sad because we drove 30 minutes for a coffee, its the closest glory jeans coffee. One of the employees ignored us when we asked for an extra plastic cup.
Pretty decent!
Nice coffee shop. They have macadamia milk as option (except when theyre out). I highly recommend.
Literally the best blended coffee drink ever. We drank these down in minutes! The lady that made them was so sweet, and she recommended my drink, which was some type of cookie coffee blended drink. Yall.. seriously! Go there! Sooo good.
Absolutely wonderful... great coffee and even better service! Tried their sugar cookie coffee after a consultation with management... and it was fantastic and perfect for the morning Ive been having! Thanks to the GJC crew!
Love stopping here while Im at the mall. They have some super yummy blended coffee drinks!
Absolutely horrible customer service. While waiting for my coffee I noticed that they were getting behind on orders while a gentleman that worked there was sitting at the tables talking on his phone. He was asked a couple of times to help and he didnt. Meanwhile myself and others were getting aggravated. I approached the gentleman and asked for a name. With attitude he said his name was AJ. I Nicely asked if he could help and again was given attitude and rudely ignored. I complained to a young lady and it was addressed. However, it was clear that this AJ had more important things to do then help. This has not been the first time Ive had a bad experience there, also threw observations watching this young man with other customers and employees. I will take my business elsewhere until they can find better customer service.
Love this place but twice now within the last month I have went to get coffee and they are closed, when I drive 15 to 20 min just to get their coffee its kind of frustrating! Dont say you close at 9 if you shut the doors before its even 830
Gross! Burrito tasted like microwave burritos! My gingerbread iced coffee didn’t have whip cream or anything on top. Not good. Wish I would’ve loved it!
I get my favorite coffee drink here! The English Toffee Twist Chiller. This location is fast and friendly. Prices are comparable to other coffee shops.
Loved it! The staff is friendly, the coffee, & chillers are the best Ive ever tasted! Love love love this place
Everyone is nice, remembers my order, and makes great recommendations. Get a punch card and visit them on double punch Wednesdays!
Me and my boyfriend went here this morning, it was my first time going here but my boyfriends second time. Very nice atmosphere and great people! I got the vanilla latte (carmel machiotto) and my boyfriend did as well. Both were delicious!! Customer service was amazing, and the lady that rang me up even gave me history about the place. You could tell she really loves her job, along with the girl who made our drinks. Lovely place, lovely people, lovely drinks! Cant say enough good things about this place! I will definitely be back!
Love their coffee!! Its soooo good.
Love this place. My wife always talking about it. I wish I could drink half there coffees but I am allergic to caffeine
I only give then 5 stars because i cant give them 6! Delicious coffee, knowledgeable staff- very willing to help, and patient to slow you to takeyour time to make a choice
The ladies that served me was awesome. Oh the coffee was great too.
Love the Mint Chocolate Bomb its the only thing I order
Hands down my very favorite coffee shop! Im not even sure what the iced concoction my daughters bring me home is called, but NOTHING makes me happier than getting one!!
I love the iced tea here! And the offer an array of sugar free syrups!
Honestly, a nice coffee shop in the mall that has a nice variety and smart enough to just post the wifi password on the board. What else you need?
My favorite coffee place. They know how to make coffee so much better than Starbucks!
I always go to Glorias. I have nevery been dissatisfied with their coffees and smoothies. Always excellent customer service. They make me feel like family.
Fresh organic coffee! Tasty! And best part friendly staff
My mom use to take me here and I hadnt been in years. I took my daughters and husband with me and I was even better than I remembered.
No matter who’s behind the counter I’m always greeted with a smile and unmatched service. And the coffee is the best around!
1st time visitor! My drink was great,pricey like their competitor across the street. Looking forward to trying the teas!!
Good coffee, good selection even for non caffeine drinkers and great staff.
Their coffee is so tasty! Delicious variety
Better than Starbucks! Love the Carmel Brulee Latte.
This is some of the best coffee you can get there and its a whole lot cheaper than Starbucks plus you get more the flavors are better.
Great coffee and even greater service. I wish there was a GJ on every corner.
Chai Tea was excellent however it was over a third foam, closer to half.
This coffee shop had my heart before Starbucks even existed! The drink options and service are awesome so with every penny!
When at Independence Center, the best top floor place to get coffee.
By far the best coffee I’ve ever had☺️
Great coffee, even better staff! I wish I could have Gloria Jeans coffee at every shopping center in the KC market.
Best coffee in the world and even better employees
Better than Starbucks... but thats just my opinion
Neat place to pick up a gift for a coffee lover
Best coffee in town. Need to also be more locations for convenience.
Went there for the first time in a while and will never go back. Girl dropped my debit card taking ot off the reader and couldnt find it. Had to call and cancel it. Only use cash there.
Loved the attention and coffee, my favorite place to get coffee!! I love it ❤
This place has some of the best coffee I have ever tried! Dude! Go and get some!
Gotta Jeans never disappoints.
AMAZING EVERYTHING. Love the employees.
Best Baristas ever.
Im a barista, and I went into Gloria jeans today to grab a quick drink before shopping with family. Hoping to get an americano I ordered a 16oz hot americano with no room for cream. After waiting 4-5 minutes and being the only customer in the store, I was served an americano that tasted as though the barista had pulled the same espresso shots twice. Incredibly watery, stale, and bitter. I understand messing up a ticket, but I was really dissatisfied with the customer service as well as the drink.
Greatest coffee in town. By far!!
Awesome staff and amazing coffee!
Great atmospheric, professional employees and great tasting products
Good coffee, but pricey.
I like Gloria Jeans.. My favorite coffee spot in the city
Great coffee and great customer service
Great service and friendly
Lady at the front was very rude and snotty. Won’t be back.
