Great little historic downtown cafe close to the Lincoln Museum. Creative, fresh sandwiches, wraps, cookies, and salads. Generous portions for the price. Would return again, given the opportunity. read more

I got the BBQ Mac. It was amazing. The service was great. Will eat here every time I visit Springfield.

I had the tomato bisque soup today and it was SO good! I also love the chicken noodle soup. Everything was great and I'll be coming back for both of these soups! read more

Food very acceptable, African American server with a goatee very nice and personable, Chicken Pt Pie was delicious, the Cha Cha sandwich was a very nice variation of the Cuban Sandwich; unfortunately the Manager/cashier needs to improve his customer service; he was blunt and seemed annoyed when I wanted to get some help regarding utensils and drinks. We are from Chicago, were on the way to St Louis and stopped for lunch. I would go back again for the food, but Not for the customer service. read more

First time at Cafe Moxo. Breakfast burrito and chicken pot pie were outstanding/delicious. Baked egg was fair to midland. Drip Coffee was a complete disappointment - warmism and very diluted. Looked like water with just a bit of coffee and tasted weaker than diner coffee. read more

Stopped by Cafe Moxo for an early lunch while I was in town for a day. All the reviews on Yelp raved about the chicken pot pie, so that's exactly what I ordered. The manager (I think) behind the counter was literally the friendliest service industry human I have probably ever run into. He was nice, informative, just a joy. The pot pie was just okay - there was barely any salt! I did, however, add salt to mine and it was delicious. It was empty around 11am but I imagine the closer to noon it gets, the busier it gets. I also got a homemade Rice Krispie treat because they looked MOUTHwateringly good sitting atop the glass. This is a walk up kind of joint where you order at the counter then sit down with a number at your table and wait for your order. Unless, of course, you got the pot pie, in which case it was already ready to go and is handed to you right at the counter. I wish the pot pie had more salt and I would've been all about a 4 star review, especially considering how friendly the manager was. Next time I'm in Springfield I'll stop by to try another menu item! read more

One of our favorite places to eat in Springfield, great pot pies! Every once in a while I have to choke down a cubs cookie, but still tastes pretty good. We moved to Montana a few years ago and still come back anytime we are in town. read more

Interesting selection of breakfast foods, the baked strata was excellent, flavorful and moist. Brewed coffee was also great, I prefer independent coffee shops over the chains and this one was a good find. Highly recommended. read more

Went with a friend here for lunch a few weeks ago. Their selection is definitely different and interesting, but very very good! The place sort of has a "Central Perk"/"Friends" feel to it with both tables and couches/chairs. It was really nice. Would definitely go back! read more

Great Food - Wonderful Staff. I just recently held a baby shower here. The staff was wonderful in helping to get the event organized. Everyone loved the food! I sent the invitation and they matched the design on the cake!! Everyone at the shower was just amazed at how nice the staff were, too. Delish tomato bisque and grilled cheese. The chicken pot pie is not on the menu - but you must try it! read more

Nice downtown location. I had the Chicken pot pie and it was delicious and very well made. I also had a cookie that was a maybe a bit too sugary but that was only one out of a wide variety. I don't remember the name of the cookie I had but there was about 8 different cookies to choose from. This is an order at the counter then find yourself a seat type place you. Once you order you get a number and someone brings your food to your table. Would be nice to have a better self serve option for fountain drinks and/or tea. Waiting for a refill took a very long time. The place was clean and definitely will return again someday. read more

As I travel around , I like to try local coffee shops for a change of pace and was swayed by the high reviews. I did expected more, :((. Gee, was here today, very disappointed with food choices and expresso out of a push button dispenser?, Really?? Atmosphere was pleasant, no gluten free options :((. read more

WHY ISNT THERE ONE OF THESE IN CHICAGO?? The food, the atmosphere, the customer service is superb! Mark, the owner, is very welcoming along with his staff. He is happy to shake your hand and say hello. This is the only place we went to in the Springfield area this time around for food and it will be our first stop when we come visit again. Besides Mark, two other employees asked us if there was anything they could do during our visit and even suggested a few drinks to take to-go. It's a casual dining experience at a modern cafe but the service made us feel like they cared about our experience. The chicken pot pie--to die for. The wraps, amazing. The dessert--incredible. read more

Hands down my favorite lunch spot in Springfield. Between the friendly service, the fast delivery of food and the AMAZING sandwiches, you can't go wrong! read more

Friendly staff, great atmosphere, best café I've even been to. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

Cafeteria style, everything tasted good but I wasn't impressed enough to return. Especially since it's downtown and I live on the west side.

The most professionally run lunch venue downtown. Everything is hand made in store ,sandwiches,Pot pies like "Mom" would make, soups And Cookies home made too! Right downtown Springfield Just feet away from the old state capital read more

Great soup and sandwich shop. Very attentive staff. The spinach artichoke soup was great! Even my picky kids found something to eat: super-cheesy grilled cheese and BLT on marble rye. read more

Great for lunch. Fresh ingredients. Delicious soups and sandwiches. Very friendly staff. Highly recommend .

The greatest cafe downtown, hands down! I've tried multiple food items from Breakfast, Soups, Salads, sandwiches.... I've loved them all! Very courteous owners and staff as well. read more

Nice spot to sit at downtown! Spent a few hours here doing homework and drinking coffee. Got lunch right before I left and was given a slice of cake on the house. Food was good and everyone was so nice! read more

Nice low light atmosphere, who wants bright lights in the morning....friendly staff, cafe latte was superb....peanut butter cookie yum!

Good place for sandwiches, salads, and soups. I've always liked my meal! Have a really cool selection of desserts - including a cupcake bar. Great for yourself or a cute gift idea. They have tables & lounging couches in the back. I believe they even do catering & desserts for events. read more

Downtown Springfield at lunch time is not all that it used to be. In the post (still?)-recession world, the streets are emptier, the plaza less populated, and the area is generally less lively. But you wouldn't know that from inside Cafe Moxo, arguably one of the busiest spots downtown. I like the Huck Fin, a flavorful rendition of tuna salad that features (I think) whole grain mustard for an added kick. I've also had the Chic Chick and Ken's Club. An added plus is the cheap (and tasty) coffee. read more

Not sure if Adam C. and Sonia D. were actually at Moxo. The food is very different and and delicious. A great place for breakfast and Lunch. I highly recommend the French toast for breakfast, and the pot pie is amazing for lunch. read more

We were attending the State Fair and were looking for a different place to go for a cafe to eat. Missed breakfast but ordered other things to eat and had some coffee creations too. The owner Mark took time to talk with us and was very friendly-out in the front working the register, greeting all his customers, etc. Food was very good, coffee great. There was a line to order the food/drinks but it went quickly. All staff friendly. Mark told us that this was a slow lunch day and the service was spectacular so it must be amazing on a real busy day. We did not get any but you can order a "bag" lunch to go. Love that the name MOXO is from his pet dogs. We will definately be back. read more

This is a regular lunch spot for me during the week. Great soups and sandwiches available, comfortable atmosphere, and great staff. Fast and friendly and easy to get to from downtown Springfield. read more

Great food-especially the egg casserole, the oatmeal and the pot pie. Fast and friendly service. The owner is there and you can tell takes alot of pride in his business. read more

I was skeptical the first time I went there but this place quickly won me over. The food is fantastic! The BBQ Mac sandwich is must-have! Plenty of room to sit and ample parking. If you're downtown check this place out. read more

I like to stop here to enjoy the coffee and the wide variety of baked goods there is even seats by the window with is nice free WiFi is a plus it's really a welcoming place i recommend the breakfast. read more

The atmosphere is awesome their deserts are awesome they taste just like grandma baked them fresh that morning their food has that homemade flavor and appeal to it read more

I picked Cafe Moxo based on the yelp reviews and was not disappointed! We were coming in from out of town and wanted a place where a group of old college friends (8 of us) could have some good food and a comfortable place to catch up. Everyone in the group was really pleased with what they ordered, and it was all very good value for the cost. The space was comfortable and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. They were also accommodating with substitutions on the menu items, which was much appreciated. I would highly recommend this place and if I ever find myself in Springfield again I will be headed back to Cafe Moxo! read more

I am a frequent flyer at Cafe Moxo and have loved everything I've eaten there. My current favorites are the oatmeal (best in town), turkey Waldorf salad, chicken pot pie, and the Fall Over Soup. The egg casseroles are also delicious! Staff is friendly and efficient. They keep the line moving quickly so don't let the long lunch lines detour you. read more

In places like this it's so rare to feel like every interaction is really genuine and not just employees doing their jobs, but the people here are truly awesome and will do everything to make sure you're happy. Great atmosphere and delicious food, and only $7.50 for a sandwich, chips, drink and a cookie. read more

I worked so I know what goes into it and it's definitely what it tastes like. Everything is so fresh and FIRE there! Great place for a nice lunch! read more

Good brunch, prices seemed decent & staff was attentive. We were in a group but I'd probably go back.

Very friendly freash cookies are the best the gobble gobble sandwich is a must try very different and very fresh %100 good experience thanks Cafe moxo read more

Visiting for a few days and this is our breakfast go to spot. Staff is friendly and food is fresh!

This was a regular stop for my mother and I while I lived in Springfield. Their soups and sandwiches are quite good - one of my favorites is the chick chick which is a curried chicken salad sandwich with raisins, scallions, and toasted almonds - YUM! I've heard their pot pie is to die for, and although I've never tried it they're always running out by the end of the day so it must be fantastic. If you're going for lunch I suggest getting the "pick three" special which allows you a few choices for 10.50. My fave combo is half a sandwich, soup, and a cookie. You can choose between a drink or a cookie, but come on, you can have soda anywhere and their cookies are huge and delicious. Get the cookie. You'll thank me later ;) Right around lunch the place does get packed (cuz it's so tasty), but don't worry, the line moves fairly fast. Just be aware it will be busy and a bit noisy. My mom and I would get there at 11, before the rush since we like to avoid crowded environments. So why four stars instead of five? I think the prices are a tad high for the portions you get, but the food is good and the location is great so I'm sure that plays into it. read more

Greeted as we walked in and the food was flavorful and warmed our hearts. Named after their dogs, the place is adorable, clean and comfortable. Best place we ate in Springfield. I wish we would have found earlier in the trip. Had their breakfast sandwich and the eggs were scrumptious. read more
