Great spot with a really fun atmosphere. The space at Aviary is bright and welcoming, with a unique vibe that makes it a great place to meet friends or enjoy a relaxed meal. The menu has a lot of creative options, so it's easy to find something a little different from the usual brunch or lunch spots. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm in the area and looking for something a little elevated but still comfortable. read more

Aviary Cafe - Farmers Park - Veggie omelet with side of bacon - French Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

I've been here quite a few times since moving to Springfield and it has never dissapointed!! Such a good variety of sweet and savory crepes, sandwiches and more! On top of that, the decorations on the inside make for an "upscale" and cozy vibe. Of note, I've gotten to try: Drinks: Cafe bon bob, lavender latte Entrees: Breakfast Smashburger with Tomato Bisque soup, Steak and Eggs Crepe, Shrimp Scampi Crepes Dessert: Funky Monkey Sweet crepe with all 3 fruit Both of the drinks I tried were delicious, though if I had to choose between the two of them, I'd recommend the Cafe BonBon In terms of entrees, the Breakfast Smashburger was by far my favorite!! So many different flavors that blend well together. And if you're worried about the Sriracha aioli being too spicy, I can assure you that it isn't! I'm a wimp with spice and this wasn't spicy at all for me, it was more of an added flavor. The steak and eggs crepes was decent; however I wouldn't personally recommend the Shrimp Scampi crepes. Finally, it's hard to go wrong with the funky monkey crepes if you're looking for something sweet! A must visit Breakfast spot for any newcomers to Springfield! read more

Hosts was terrible the wait list said our table was ready and then we asked them if our table was ready and they said it was another 40 mins after waiting 30 mins in the first place. The waitress was really quiet but did a decent job, our food came out maybe 20ish min after ordering. But our coffee:drinks took a while to get out after we had order them. And it wasn't super pack in house.... Overall not impressed, read more

I stopped in for a quick bite after visiting a neighboring service provider. Walking in, the space felt cozy yet not claustrophobic. There were small tables with diners spread about and a medium sized party taking place in a side room. I was dining alone and the hostess seated me at a table for two on the perimeter with a window seat. It was a lovely fall afternoon. I was greeted quickly and made to feel very welcome as if I had been there before. I ordered a lovely fall salad and a cranberry & apple mimosa (I had my choice of juices) which was the special drink of the day. Food was exactly what I hoped and delivered without much waiting. My server checked on my just enough to know she was readily available but not so much that I felt rushed. Will definitely dine here again! read more

Service called ahead waited an hour 1:15 . They offered us a seat in the back in a compositor facing the wall. We asked for a better table. There were many open tables mostly 2tops. There was an open 4 top for over 1/2 hr. They said reserved. Yet you can't reserve. Asked the manager to help. She was rude with my wife. Said we tried to seat you. Our guest from Brazil were disappointed in American behavior . We were too. Never going back. Beware! read more

Great food and atmosphere! The owner/s also gives a military discount - thank you, we really appreciate it. We can't wait to return!

Plenty of parking. Great service. Lots of options. Started with the lavender latte. Great flavor. Not too heavy on the lavender. Would get it again. Next was the yelp pomme frites. They came with a side of garli aioli. Fries were great! Aioli was ok. Ketchup would've been nice. Crepes are a focus, got the farmers crepe with sausage and scrambled eggs. Was surprised there was powdered sugar in the savory crepe but it worked. Lots of side options. Caesar salad was fresh and tasty. Definitely recommend for a unique breakfast/brunch! read more

They had multiple patio options. We had our dog with us so we needed to sit outdoors. The food was fun & the menu had lots of variety! Service was friendly & helpful. Be willing to wait for your food though. It took around 15-20 min for the food to arrive. read more

Service, atmosphere, food, unsanitary bathroom, and high prices all receive a poor review. I do not recommend this spot. I always support local businesses but in this case I'm embarrassed of this local spot! Servers unpleasant, management has angry anttitude, owner extremely aggressive. if I could give a zero star I would! Don't waste your time, money and risk if a fun day on this ungrateful, place. read more

We were seated right away, Service as nice, we had the Steak and egg, and the shrimp scampi crepes both had good flavor just served lukewarm. I had a latte that was in flavor it was hot. read more

The service was great, and the mocha was nice enough (architect coffee is better). But the shrimp and grits really lacked flavor. There needed more blackened seasoning. I probably should've gotten the crepes, which they are better known for. I think if you go here, you are better off ordering a French specialty, not soul food. Overall, it was a lovely little outdoor meal with excellent presentation. By the time I was done, about twenty flies were checking out the plate. They were the most aggressive flies I've ever encountered on a patio. Even putting the coffee on my lap wasn't enough to deter them... read more

We made an online reservation for 10 to celebrate my sister's birthday and arrived on time, only to be "greeted" with the news that our reservation had been canceled and given to someone else. The front-of-house staff were impressively rude, offering zero apology or explanation, and then told us we would need to wait another 45 minutes. The restaurant was extremely loud, making conversation impossible, and the overall customer service was shockingly poor. Clearly, training on basic manners and how to treat paying guests is not a priority here. Thanks for the unforgettable experience--but not in a good way. We won't be returning. read more

The Aviary is a very cute, very popular, very busy place during brunch hours on Saturday. They have a nice, varied menu with breakfast and lunch items. I opted for one of their savory crepes, the black and bleu one with a side of French onion soup. I picked wrong. My soup was room temperature, so I didn't get that nice, cheese pull from the bit of cheesy toast in the middle. It was flavored nicely, but again -- not hot like soup should be. The same could be said for my crepe. Room temperature, fairly tasty, but the crepe was thick and more pancake like -- it kind of messed up the flavors inside. My friend got the French onion soup and was also disappointed. We split a salted caramel crepe for desert. It was also cool and a bit thick, but tasty overall. Wasn't a great experience, but I'll probably come back and try the rest of the menu. Everyone else's food looked good! read more

Soooo disappointed! My hubby and I tried to go here for a late brunch.... It's 1:30 on a Saturday. There were 8+ tables empty (that we could see from the door), we were told we'd have to wait 30 minutes to be seated. I asked if we could sit and sip coffee until a server was free but was told no. There were others in front of us. (There was no one waiting). I will not be able to get my husband back there again. Such a shame....the food is usually good. read more

I have not been to Springfield in a while, but realized the last time we were that Aviary no longer has a bakery! The dining is lovely, yes, but the pastries & bread are what always made us stop! And stop again on the way out for more! The bakery rivaled any in France, and it's gone? This is the reason I can only give 2 stars. read more

I really enjoyed brunch at this place!! The crepes had the taste of pancakes with the savory insides of bacon/cheese/eggs--yum! I also loved the bacon grits and tried my friend's Brussel sprouts which were so good! Overall, a fun, popular and classy place to meet up with friends! read more

More than just a crepe place, they have a delicious and somewhat eclectic menu that is also somehow comforting. I had the fried chicken and french toast with a side of cheesy bacon grits, and my wife had the black and bleu crepe with a side of brussel sprouts. The brussel sprouts are one of the best things to eat in Springfield, I kid you not. Coffee was also good. This place is now in our breakfast rotation. read more

We met some family here for a birthday lunch and were NOT disappointed. Everything that we had was amazing. The restaurant is so cute and we just loved being there. After lunch, our husbands went on a hike nearby since we are not from this area. We stayed and drank some lavender lattes and a few cocktails which were also very delicious. We have recommended this place to everyone we know going to or through this area and we will be back soon! read more

Looking forward to coming here from a colleagues word of mouth. Waited 30 minutes for a table which was fine for Saturday morning. Place was packed and service was on the slower side but server was bubbly and friendly and coffee was delicious. Meal took quite a while to arrive but when it finally came it looked appetizing. First off the pomme frites were Luke warm and soggy, however the accompanying dipping sauce was nice. Excited to cut into the farmer breakfast crepe, but mortified to discover not one but several filthy hairs in multiple parts of the crepe and filling. Instantly grossed out, no server around, had to seek out some assistance, she got the manager who was a little defensive and wanted to simply replace the meal, I was not interested in finishing either meal and just wanted to leave. Left tip for server and departed. read more

Cute little cafe trying to be upscale but missed a bit today. They have a varied menu and it looks like the breakfast choices are better than later in the day. I had the Turkey and bacon panini with pomme friets (thin sliced potatoes) the sandwich was average it had to much garlic aioli on it and 1 piece over cooked bacon on it, the frites were cold so I had to send them back . My uncle had the Phily steak sandwich and said it was very disappointing due to the meat being mostly fat .One thing to note we had a large party and Amy table over 6 people they automatically add a 20% gratuity to the tickets. Maybe it was off evening for staff so not sure if I will give another try or not. read more

From KC but always try to stop by this place when we are in town. Recently visited for a volleyball tournament and made our way here for lunch. Absolutely love this place. Their menu had changed since I last visited but found my way to the breakfast smashburger and it was awesome. Two patties with bacon pieces and avocado on the bottom with cheese topped with an egg. The only con was it was a little hard to eat between the burger sliding around on the avocado and the yolk running everywhere. I'd highly suggest this place next time you're in Springfield. read more

Visited for lunch on a recommendation from someone we met at dinner in Rolla a few days ago. Cute set up inside and our server was wonderful. She was friendly, quick and helpful. Two of us didn't really enjoy our meals and the other was ok. We started with the goat cheese and honey board. Comes with 6 or 7 pieces of crunchy bread, goat cheese, strawberries and blueberries all drizzled with some honey. It was fabulous. For lunch, I ordered The Venetian as a pasta dish and the server told us about their Tuscan sauce so I added that. It was only ok for me - the onions were supposed to be caramelized and they definitely weren't. Caramelized onions make a promise that wasn't met in this dish lol. Part of the dish was cool to warm and the other side of the dish was hot. It was weird. I mixed it all up and ate about half of it (Randy ate the rest - he really liked it). Randy ordered the Cali Club panini style with sourdough and he liked it but the bread was soggy. Our daughter ordered the French dip and said it wasn't great. We all had Caesar salad sides. Mine was somewhat wilted or warmed (? I ate it, but didn't expect it to not be crisp lettuce), another one was all crispy and the third had some wilt but mostly crispy. The dressing was delish! Normally we would have said something but we're in a rush to spend a few hours with a family member before we leave town. Won't go back. read more

The Breakfast Smash Burger was DELICIOUS! The sriracha garlic aioli sauce and the burger patty itself was very flavorful and cooked perfectly! Definitely recommend for a brunch date or little hangout, the service was fantastic and the server was constantly checking up on us.

Definitely worth a 30-45 minute wait if there is one! read more
