Caffeine customized to your liking. On a day when I had to drop my car off at the tire shop for new tires, Emily and I took that as an invitation to go out of town for an afternoon. We headed out to Springfield since neither of us had been down there for awhile. First stop was... Custom Cup Coffee to get us caffeinated for an afternoon of shenanigans. We dropped in to a cozy little coffeehouse. This place had been on my list for awhile and on the way down, I gave Em a list of local coffee places we can try and this is the one that she picked and what a great choice it was. I got my usual Americano and Emily got the Beekeeper. Along with my love of coffee, I do love stickers and grabbed a giant one for $4 and the barista hooked us up with some free little ones. Score! They do have a small food menu, too, if you come here and need something to compliment your caffeinated drink. I usually look around and snap a few photos while waiting but I barely got turned around before my drink was being called out. That's the fastest I've ever gotten an Americano. Emily's drink was not far behind. Granted we had no one in front of us when we ordered, it was Jimmy Johns level of freaky fast. We were going to sit outside but they were putting up their outside furniture for some reason so we took a seat inside. This Americano was spot-on for what I crave when I want one. Not only was it tasty but for being 20oz, it somehow lasted me until we walked over to Buzz Bomb Brewing Co. and I started drinking a beer. Emily was in love with her latte and let me have a little sip and wow... it was delicious. It was no surprise that she finished her drink in half the time it took me to finish mine. All in all, Custom Cup Coffee had super friendly baristas, a quaint and cozy interior with a little bit of seating and super delicious coffee. read more

Simplicity at its best. There is nothing fancy about this quaint little coffee shop, but yet it is charming. Pros: They offer pour over coffee. Good variety of pastries. (I bought Cinnamon Roll and Biscotti) Delicious Indoor and outdoor seating available. Non-Gender Restroom Great Location in downtown Springfield Cons: Staff - Most were friendly, but one showed attitude and lost them a star. I'll go back the next time I am in Springfield. read more

Stopped in to get some coffee before heading to the state fair. It's a nice little place. I ordered a cold brew, wasn't too bitter or acidic. The bakery stuff looked good and I was tempted to get something. We would definitely go again. read more

best coffee in town, excellent service, and the atmosphere is homely. I would note that the 85 characters needed to post this review is an inconvenience but it's worth it once you actually try there coffee. read more

Coffee is excellent. Discount if you bring your own cup. There aren't a lot of pastries but their cinnamon rolls are the best in town. They have energy balls for a healthy gluten free snack. Friendly service. They also have a few lunch items that you can add extras for a reasonable price. read more

Cute place with friendly staffs, solid coffee and cute seatings with lots of sun coming thru the window.

The decor of the place is very nice - clean, simple, and lots of gnomes :) The latte's all seemed delicious (and it was). I think i had some seasonal lavender one which was pretty great. I also had their nut bar which was very filling and delicious as well. My partner on the other hand tried their matcha and sadly, we both thought it was sort of lacking. While their espresso based lattes were good, the matcha latte seemed....off. I think the biggest issue is that they dont seem to whisk their matcha - which makes it clumpy as you drink it. This also causes the milk to not mix well with the matcha (and/or water used to whisk). Besides the matcha, everything was pretty great! read more

Nice coffee shop in walking distance. excellent customer service.... but creamers behind the counter... if i pay 4. 39 plus a tip for a cup of coffee but you control the creamer? i think not... very few pastries...So, going forward... just take my own Celsius and sit outside... read more

What a fantastic find in Springfield. In town for an event and staying nearby. Found the place thru here and was not disappointed. Egg sandwich and bakery items were delicious and the iced Americano was good enough to grab a second cup to go. Seating is limited so have a backup plan if you want to meet a friend for coffee. Staff is very friendly. Bummed tomorrow they are closed due to the parade downtown though I grabbed some more muffins to go to hold us over. read more

Great coffee! And conveniently located downtown, there's some window shopping and things to look at right in the area.

Custom Cup's staff is friendly anna's efficient, however, their items are extremely expensive. The latte they made me was sadly one of the worst I've had. I was very disappointed. read more

I didn't even get to grab a photo of my iced vanilla latte because it was so delicious I chugged it before I even got a chance to snap it! Would've given 5 stars BUT, I'm from Los Angeles and not even there do they charge almost $9 for an iced vanilla latte! I was in shock so due to the over priced drinks I couldn't give it 5 stars but otherwise great coffee read more

Great lattes and baked goods, with gluten-free options. Their banana, chocolate chip muffin, and carrot muffin or as good (and better!) as any! read more

Their chai is amazing! And their scones and fresh, moist and ultra delicious. I would go back if I could but was just in town for the day. Great service too. Highly recommend it read more

I I love supporting local places but we're from out of town. We saw this on the way to our hotel and decided to give it a try! When we walked in the place was so cute and smelled delicious. We had already checked out another local place for breakfast therefore did not try the food offerings but their pastries looked amazing! I got the 20oz Beekeeper with whole milk! It was delicious! I'll get it again if we are ever back in town! read more

Custom Cup - Beekeeper with whole milk $7ish after tax but worth it. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Springfield, Illinois

My first visit here and I'm sold! My iced latte was delicious-- vibrant coffee flavor with no bitterness. The egg/bacon/bagel (they make their OWN bagels) was tasty and very filling. Staff were very kind. I WILL be back! Laurie M. read more

Hands down the best coffee shop in town! I'm a major customer cup fan from day one. They roast their beans on site. They have the best cold brew in town as well as an amazing standard cup of coffee (idk how they make it taste so great in store but I swear I can't do it at home and I've tried multiple brewing methods) each new roast truly captures a unique flavor profile. Their espresso drinks are great as well - especially the strawberry milk latte! They also offer breakfast sandwiches and a variety of fresh baked goods - my favorites are the cinnamon roll, jimmy sticks scone, cheese bagel with jimmy stick cream cheese, and the biscuit with jam (not as boring as it sounds because the jam out out of this world!!) read more

We stopped in before visiting the near by museum, the inside is cozy and has places to sit and enjoy your coffee. We ordered the beekeeper coffee as well as a blueberry cheesecake to split. I picked up some local chapstick made with local honey. There is paid parking along the street. read more

A little pricy but oh so delicious. I tried the beekeeper latte and it did not disappoint!! Some delicious looking pastries and local gift items. read more

This place is perfect for a quick coffee pickup on the way to work. They brew multiple varieties of coffee (light or dark, robust or mild) that are available in drip or pour-over serving styles. The coffee is roasted in-house and you can buy a bag of the beans to brew at home. The guy working the counter is super friendly and explained that they plan to put some sidewalk seating outside once the weather turns around. The shop just opened in November, but they've been roasting and serving at the Springfield farmers' market for a while. Sitting smack in the middle of downtown and a nice, quick stroll from the Capitol Building, Custom Cup is a great place to get some delicious caffeine. read more

Came here at the recommendation of a friend who is a self professed "coffee snob," and fortunately this shop lived up to the hype! As someone who drinks most of my coffee black, Custom Cup is perfect. They make a darn good cup of black coffee at an affordable price. I tried their Costa Rica brew and it was a dream. I only wish they had more extensive hours to accommodate my crazy hours! Service is extremely friendly and knowledgeable as well! read more

Really nice coffee shop. We had two coffee drinks and a cinnamon roll, which was very delicious. I have lived in Springfield for about a year and finally got the chance to visit. Pre-covid I think it would be a great place to study. Seems like a nice atmosphere. They also have very nice chairs outside that are distanced appropriately. read more

Second best iced latte I've found in town by a nose, maybe tied for first. Most expensive one by a length. If this is your first visit: the staff have already had enough of you. read more

Custom Cup is my morning routine. The owners and employees are very nice and knowledgeable. They have a rotating selection of delicious worldwide coffees roasted in house, available as drip, pour over, or cold press. Try them all, I have never been disappointed. Also, visit them at their stand at the downtown farmers market. read more

Nice little coffee place in Springfield. While in town for the holidays, we wanted to find a place that roasted their own beans. We had a couple nice cups of coffee (one drip, one pour over), a delicious gluten free muffin and a pound of beans to go. Staff is incredibly friendly. We sat in the window, drank our coffee and read the New York Times. Lovely morning escape. We will be back the next time we're in town for a visit. read more

Spend the weekend in Springfield IL, and had to find the best place for a good cup of espresso. Drove by this place first, but came back to get some espresso. Was I glad I came back, this is hands down the best espresso in town. If I'm back in Springfield I'll stop here again. read more

Love this spot! The coffee and beans are great & the baked goods are always a nice treat! It's a pretty chill place so you can usually grab a seat outside and relax for a bit. read more

Sweet little place to get a great cup of coffee. They have awesome homemade pastries to choose from, I love their donuts! They have a large selection of grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch which I have not tried but have heard are really good too. Stop in downtown and give them a try! read more

Blown away by their customer service today! I'd been hearing about CC for a while and had never made my way over. They were out at the Farmer's Market this Saturday and appeared to be doing really well! Almost every couple or adult group walking around had a cold press (they should definitely have some custom cups with their names displayed for the free publicity while everyone is strolling! Pun intended). Anyway--all smiles. Super knowledgeable. And an amazing cup of joe! Making it a staple and kicking myself for taking so long to support this amazing local small business. It was great that they used square technology and I automatically got my receipt emailed to me and didn't have to use cash like all of the other FM stands that day. Smart! read more

Great locally roasted coffee. They have 2 single origin beans avaliable at a time. They sell beans, but also have drip and pour over coffee avaliable. AND cold brew! Awesome place. Super friendly owners. read more

Great spot to sit for a few minutes and enjoy a really nice cup of coffee. The staff is sincere in their friendliness and the prices are exceptional for the high quality offered. read more

The best coffee in town. No frills, just great coffee. The owners are so nice. They even hosted a pour-over coffee service at my wedding and were so easy to work with. It was a hit! read more

Custom Cup has a limited daily selection of coffee, but the choices are wonderful. I enjoy their house blends that can be found nowhere else in Springfield. In sunny weather you can sit outside and sip coffee with a pastry from the bakery next door. Not heaven, but relaxing. read more

This was the best coffee I found in my week in Springfield. If you like good, small batch, carefully made coffee, this is your spot. The atmosphere, drink options, baked goods and services were all good. read more
