This is definitely a new favorite! the staff are so nice and helpful, the whole vibe is so comforting, and it’s all reasonably priced! definitely recommend for studying!

I’m in love ☕️💙 One of the best all around coffee and food experiences I’ve had. So many different options from pastries, sandwiches, and more. The service was outstanding to say the least. You won’t be disappointed!

Great little find! Super cool space and the coffee is spectacular!

Best advice is to bring a book or laptop and be hungry for unique fresh pastries. Wow what a hidden jewel! The atmosphere is angelic to say the least. I will be returning but with friends.

The workers are so helpful and the environment is a great place to study :)

First visit- very pleasant, clean, friendly employees. Fast wifi so I was able to get work done. Will return soon!

I recently visited this establishment for the first time. I really loved the chill atmosphere and cute decor. The employees were very friendly and helpful. I ordered a blackberry sage latte and a lemon curd pop tart, both were delicious. I definitely plan to return next time Im in the area.

A coffee shop for normals.Listen. I’m not gonna lie, coffee shops, to me have historically fallen into some category or specific type of coffee shop. You know where every one that goes there are alike... You know what I mean....where as soon as you walk in you immediately know what kind of shop it is. Being in shops that are heavily religious-oriented or affiliated is not uncommon, but it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. Seeing as Joy Coffee was attached to and seemingly part of the City House and Church of the Four Corners, I had my expectations as to what kind of shop this would be, and it wasn’t.What I found was a very bright, open, unassuming and somewhat antiseptic environment relative to fitting in a traditional coffee shop genre. It felt more like a coffee shop at a college or office complex. I found ample seating, sufficient WiFi, a nice and somewhat fruity drip coffee, and one.... just one.... very tasty almond cookie. I appreciated the simple but ample menu. I liked the staff that was pleasant and supportive of your order. Prices were reasonable.Customers here ran the gamut, so it felt a surprising melting pot of people of all ages just studying, working, and hanging out. I certainly didn’t feel out of the normal customer range. There was nothing specifically distracting, no loud music, or off-putting anything whatsoever. I got plenty of work done. I’ll be back for sure.I’m not a coffee nerd, therefore I am not qualified or skilled enough to break down the coffee quality or the skill of the barista people. They were, however, quite patient with me when I put my credit card in backwards. So there’s that.All in all, if you are in the area and want to meet someone for a coffee or a snack, it’s definitely worth a shot.

When I walked into Joy Coffee this morning it felt like I had just walked into a warm hug. The atmosphere is so beautiful and calming and I felt invited immediately. Drew was so helpful behind the counter and he explained the beautiful message Joy Coffee stands for and he made me a delicious iced almond milk latte as well! I will be returning as soon as possible!

Moriah and her staff at Joy Coffee are incredible. There is always a welcoming barista ready for you when you enter. Joy Coffee has an atmosphere where you can get stuff done, have a relaxing conversation with a friend, relax in the morning before the chaos starts, or just a friendly wave as you stop by for your morning cup of joy. I recommend their A-ok blend on drip or one of their seasonal lattes. CHECK THEM OUT and stay a spell!

My new favorite place. Homemade baked goods. Open space. Cute, cozy environment. Theres plenty of outlets and wifi for people who want to work on other things while at Joy.

Great coffee shop! Didn’t feel churchy at all and was blasting some great tunes. The food and drinks were great as well!

Amazing coffee. Hidden little gem in Independence.

Amazing coffee and amazing hospitality. Thank you so much.

Excellent coffee, great ambiance and wonderful service!

Really cool coffee shop. Awesome guy making the coffee. He made 2 espressos just to make me the perfect espresso.

Excellent coffee! Awesome people, great vibe. Pastries were delicious and made in-house. All of them were delicious. Come check it out! Dine - in available.

Reasonable pricing, wide open (almost cavernous) space, minimally decorated with friendly staff. Nice clean espresso and the tasty Veggie quiche was good sized.

Fantastic coffee shop! Moriah the owner has done an incredible job designing and decorating the space. It’s so cozy and cute.

Such a charming new find! My friend and I were looking for a place to grab coffee when this one hit our radar. Friendly barista, delicious drinks, and a positive atmosphere. I cant believe I live down the street and didnt know about it. Ill for sure be back!

What a fantastic little coffee shop. Modern, clean, and barista‘s are super friendly and helpful.

If you are reading this review, get in your car and drive to Joy Coffee, I guarantee you will not regret that decision!Moriah and her crew make sure that you are taken care of and that you enjoy your experience. The cinnamon rolls are absolutely amazing! (I havent tried any other food because they are soooo good!) Also the coffee is good too! But them cinnamon rolls lol

Lovely spot, so open and bright. Friendliest people working there. Met the owner and just had a lovely, peaceful time. Drinks and pastries are so delicious. Cannot wait to go back!

Lovely and restful space.My latte was amazing, and the homemade shortbread is to die for!I have not been going into coffee shops or restaurants because of Covid, but I felt comfortable at Joy while I waited for my carry-out order. The seating areas are nicely distanced from each other, and the high ceiling gives it a very spacious feel. Baristas are masked, and there was plenty of space for me to stand around without being too close to anyone else. I will definitely be back for more!

Great service and great vibe !!

Awesome, such a great place for a meet upThe quiche was outstanding as was the scone!

Thoroughly enjoyed the Irish Scone and Vanilla Steamer. The service was very friendly and attentive. Everything was delicious.And I appreciated the trendy atmosphere, for those who want enjoy a cup of coffee and surf the net, or a get-together with friends or family!

Joy Coffee is both a quiet and a very comfortable place to meet friends (or just hang by yourself) and enjoy a great coffee & pastry experience! Moriah is so kind and friendly. Joy Coffee is one of my very favorite places to frequent. PS: You gotta try their FANTASTIC CINNAMON ROLLS!

Very friendly and fresh baked scones! They know coffee and made perfect cortado!

The service is so friendly here! Excellent cup of coffee, remarkable baked goods and a clean, open concept with comfortable seating. The perfect place to meet a friend and be refreshed! I’ll be back!

I absolutely love this coffee shop and the awesome Baristas. The coffee is superb and the pastries are divine. It is a cozy atmosphere great for working at a table or curling up on a comfy sofa or chair.

Peaceful environment to sit do paperwork or read a book

Lovely atmosphere & delicious coffee! As a momma with three littles I’m grateful for the separate play area for kiddos. Perfect location for a coffee date!

Beautiful venue, amazing pastries, and best coffee in the KC metro! A little out of the way, but worth the extra joy from this local shop.10/10 would recommend

Finally a third wave coffee shop in Independence! Joyco has an absolutely beautiful space with tons of natural light with ample and diverse seating options. They have cafe tables for eating and studying, soft couches and chairs for lounging, a marble tulip table for small groups up to five, multiple bars and even a separate kid friendly seating area with toys!!Their coffee is incredible from a roaster in Nashville called Stay Golden. There is no other coffee shop like this is Independence. They have a wide array of pastry options like English scones, cookies, cinnamon rolls, cakes and more hearty foods like quiche, sandwiches and salads.The baristas are friendly and the space will leave you with a smile.

Coffee and baked goods are delicious, and the baristas are very friendly!

Great coffee. Great people

This a great place to grab a great drink.Taste buds will thank you

Look no further! All the ingredients of an excellent coffee shop have culminated in Joy Coffee!I was served an excellent cup of an African blend on drip, and an excellenter service from the barista. After being in the coffee industry for over 6 years I cant tell you how rare it is for an equally experienced barista to be genuine, kind, and knowledgeable!During the current crisis they are open for dine-in, which is increasingly hard to come by these days.Way to go guys Youre killing it! Keep up the good work! Drew was the best!

The coffee and service was fantastic.

Good coffee, plenty of space, and they somehow make it quiet. 5*s

So cute! Such a nice atmosphere. Also very yummy😋

Absolutely wonderful. So pretty, and their pour over was delicious!

Love this shop and the staff is always helpful.

The best place in Independence for all your coffee and tea needs.

Good stuff
