I couldn't decide what to get so I went with "The Chaug" with no tomato and a sausage egg and cheese sandwich on a croissant. I had the breakfast sandwich first. Delicious! I would order one from here over Rice's any day of the week. Could have eaten another had I not bought something else. I enjoyed the chaug, pesto hit the spot and plenty of filling to fill me up. I enjoyed the ambiance of the place. It was relaxing and happy I stuck around rather than getting them to go. Certainly not going to look past coming here if I need to find a quick sandwich.

If you're staying at the Sheraton or really anywhere in Springfield this is a wonderful lunch spot…read more There is a large selection of fresh made (hot/cold) sandwiches and salads, as well as daily made soups. I had the New Yorker (basic pastrami on rye) and it was tender and toasted perfectly. I also had a cup of their Turkey and Stuffing soup as recommended by the gentleman tending the register. Wow, it was awesome and unique. To finish it up, they have gigantic house made cookies that are freakin delicious. The staff is very friendly and go beyond just enough to enhance the value. Good prices, great food, nice people.

I arrived just after they opened at 6am and spent the entire day here as my "office." Yes, it was…read morecoffee with a bagel to start, a lovely sandwich for lunch and then I was there as they closed for the day at 3pm. No one minded at all. Comfortable seating and great coffee. I started the day with a toasted bagel with cream cheese. I thought it was going to be jalapeno cream cheese but it ended up being cream cheese topped with jalapenos. Okay, different but still good. Lunch was a ham and cheese sandwich that was nicely loaded and served with fabulous kettle chips. Filling and inexpensive. Wifi worked well and the place was quiet enough all day that I was able to work easily. A few Zoom calls here and there, comfortable. I would absolutely return to Dam Cafe.

I ordered a banana waffles with a side of scrambled eggs and bacon. The eggs were perfect, the bacon was great and the waffle was amazing. It had bananas on the inside only and though it would've been nice if it had some additional banana slices on top with some whipped cream, I did literally get what I ordered! This place doesn't give off "above and beyond" vibes, it's all straightforward. This place is the epitome of "what you see is what you get" and I got what I got, and what I got was good!

Food and service were great. My husband had an omelet and I had tuna wrap. All were superb. They…read moregrill the wrap a bit so it comes out crispy. You can tell they put extra care in their food preparation for sure. Beverages were good - hazelnut iced coffee and unsweetened ice tea. Hash browns were a little undercooked and it's a bit noisy.

Everyone who works there is kind and attentive, the space is gorgeous and they have a nice intimate seating section with lots of natural lighting. Every time I'm there there's locals who are all smiles while waiting in line and ordering. Great vibes and I highly recommend. If you follow their social media you'll see they come out with monthly and seasonal drink and food specials and they're all so creative and equally as delicious. But if you're looking for a staple, their cold brew with maple cold foam is a MUST.

When you think small town coffee shops, this is the place…read more The inside is quite small with very little seating but don't let that deter you - come and get it to go. The food and service are always great. The prices are about average for a locally owned shop. The pastries and treats are always cooked perfectly and just the right amount of sweet. They also typically have at least one gluten free option. Their rotating coffee flavor menu is always fun and pairs well with different seasons/holidays. I have tried their sandwiches, quiche and salads too which were all made really well. My favorite over the summer was the mushroom quiche and the mom's pasta salad.
