The guy working had no clue what he was doing behind the counter. Then today I went in and the guy behind the counter completely ignored me. I waited and waited and he piddled around, doing nothing.

Echelon Coffee is a really solid coffee spot that clearly takes what they do seriously…read more The coffee is excellent, and if you go on the weekend, the biscuits and gravy are absolutely worth it. It feels like there's a lot of care behind everything they serve. It also has that feel of a well-run, possibly family-driven operation -- like everyone involved knows their role and executes it well. The vibe is good, the space is inviting, and it's just an enjoyable place to spend some time. Pricing is a bit on the higher side -- more of a "treat yourself" stop than an everyday routine -- but the quality backs it up. Definitely worth a visit, especially if you appreciate good coffee.

I've visited this location a handful of times the last couple years. The coffee is good, the food…read moreis good. Service is okay usually, but I came through the drive through around 7 AM on Friday, 2/6 and was very disappointed. I was the only vehicle in the drive through from start to finish. I ordered the açaí bowl, and pulled to the window as directed. I waited a good 7-8 minutes, then the employee opened the window with the card reader and gave me the total. No "hi, hello, good morning," just the total. I waited a few more minutes and then the same employee opened the window and handed out my food without a word. I thanked him for the food and he just closed the window. The customer service was completely absent from the transaction. I don't expect a full conversation, but a simple greeting at the window or "you're welcome" when I got my food would have been nice. I also thought the (at least) 10-minute wait for an almost $14 after tax açaí bowl was a bit much, but I usually don't mind if the food and service is adequate. Not sure if the employees were just having a rough day, but the experience was disappointing at best and at 7 AM it has the potential to set the tone for the rest of a customer's day. Note - picture is after I mixed the bowl. It looks prettier when you first get it, and is more satisfying when you walk away with a better experience.

My wife and I were visiting the area and happened to stumble across this charming spot, and we're so glad we did. They offer a wide variety of European pastries, croissant sandwiches, and other bakery favorites. The standout for us was the brioche donut -- the filling was easily one of the best we've had, both in flavor and generosity. Every bite was packed perfectly. We also tried the breakfast croissant, which was delicious, but the white cheddar truly took it to another level. We noticed they also host cooking classes, which looked like such a fun experience. If we lived nearby, this would absolutely become a regular date night spot or a great activity with friends. Definitely a memorable find while traveling.

I asked the young lady which kind to buy to send to her, and she said they use a different one each day. I questioned her on it, because I had bought it there before, but she was adamant. And I did make it clear that it was what they use in their lattes and espresso drinks. Well I asked her which one was the most popular and she said the House Blend. I ended up getting 3 bags of coffee, which isn't cheap, which I did send to my daughter. After the fact, I called Mudhouse and they said that wasn't the one they used, but the one I bought would be just fine. Well it isn't for me and probably not my daughter. It is a much milder blend, that I assume belongs in brewed coffee. All the man said when I called him, is that he was sorry about that. Not good customer service for sure.

I was absolutely stuffed when I left; and have no regrets.

The group that is outside of the shop with the dogs is very strange and this is not the shops fault but I don't understand why the city of Springfield doesn't ask them to move.

I like to think of myself as a coffee/espresso snob who knows a good cafe when I come across one. I'm from Springfield and moved away to the Bay Area, CA before ever trying Coffee Ethic. I came back home for my wedding and decided to walk here one morning instead of going to my usual spot Mudhouse cafe. So I glad I decided to because this place feels like a 1 of 1. Our trip was 5 days and we went every day and every time it did not disappoint from our initial high. We've tried the peanut miso cortado with a sparking water back, lemon espresso tonic, cherry creme brûlée latte, and blood orange nitro cold brew, askinosie mocha and I loved every one. The streamed milk was appropriate based on the drink with the steamed milk passing the spoon test and keeping its silky microfoam texture until the last sip. I also enjoy looking behind the counter to watch the process. I enjoy the process myself at home on my espresso machine and rarely do I see a cafe put in the same work (I understand commercial and household kitchens will need to do it differently based on on volume). They use a distributor and tamper to evenly prepare the espresso puck. Even though their commercial grade machines likely don't need that prep work it's feels reassuring they are taking those prophylactic measures. And the most interesting tidbit of local history in the cafe I learned is the wood they salvaged from a historic flood in 2006 they've repurposed into benches and chairs for seating. I haven't been to a cafe like this in the Bay Area and am envious I don't have this as my local cafe. This place deserves its spotlight and recognition beyond just being a great cafe for Springfield or even Missouri. My only wish is they offered croissants and pain au chocolate
