Front counter

Get here early! The seating is fairly spacious but fills up quickly. The vibe is minimalist and clean. Lots of neutral colors and natural light. The menu boasts something for everyone. Coffee, teas, snacks, and treats. The pastry case looks divine. We ordered a dirty chai latte and a seasonal holiday drink. Both were flavorful and well balanced. Just enough sweetness and perfectly rich in flavor. The team was very friendly and had our order up in a timely way.

Cup of coffee

The café was very clean, decorated nicely, open floor plan, big windows, and nice ambience. Coffee was decent priced but a little small for being a "large" and the temperature of the beverage was not very hot. Also, I requested cream before our coffee was served, but it was filled to the tippy top leaving no room for cream. However - grateful they were not stingy on filling the cup. I would come here again but if the coffee wasn't freshly brewed, I recommend an Americano or pour over.

Ok let's start with customer service! WOW!!! Absolutely amazing, super friendly and helpful. The elderberry tea which is seasonally was very nice. Had a great flavor and I loved the cold foam topping. The coffee was good but it was a little more milky than I would like. I felt like the milk took over in the flavor and that's all I could taste. It was good I just expected a stronger coffee taste. The sandwich was amazing! Bread was soft and perfectly dressed. The turkey and bacon pairs nicely with the greens. A very tasty dish. Will definitely be back to try some of their other items. The shop has great seating indoor and outdoors. They also have a drive thru. If you're in the area, I would recommend it.

Caramel apple chai

My boyfriend works at Bass Pro Shops and this place is just 5 mins away! It's super cute and love that it is open late until 8pm too. I had their pb&j with chips one day and the caramel apple chai another which was delicious. There is decent amount of parking and a code to the bathroom so only customers can use it. Plenty of seating and outlets with a tv projector. Would definitely make this my go to spot when I am in town working remotely!

This place BLOWS Starbucks away! Had a delicious acai bowl & iced matcha latte here while on the road and was not disappointed. Drive -thru is super convenient, great service .

Coffee is personal. I have my favorite coffee drink, made at my favorite coffee shop; actually, the world's best coffee (subjective opinion). Getting comparable coffee, of that quality while traveling is likely not going to happen. But I still like to try the local businesses. Same thing I always get ...everywhere, Iced Mocha, skim, no whipped cream. Echelon Coffee was fair. Probably a medium roast coffee. The faint coffee flavor was over powered by the chocolate. Nice attractive shop inside and out. Easy access on the corner. Fantastic looking pastries. These quality delicious looking pastries have to be a strong contributor to helping the store maintain a 4+ star rating. Outstanding friendly service. Lots of tables. Unfortunately, the abundant useable space invites laptop squatting, which can ruin the vibe of the coffee shop, and reduce the income for owners by occupying customer space for hours. It wasn't bad this morning. There were several Laptop Hobos or Solopreneurs, if you prefer, in "their offices," hard at it.

Stop here if you are in search of true espresso just off I44. They have a real Italian espresso machine! The ambiance, customer service, snacks and espresso were top notch. They have live plants throughout the place and it was nicely decorated for the holidays.

What a great find right by our hotel. The coffee was so flavorful. I got the brown sugar fig latte. The food was amazing. The biscuit and gravy was so good. Great comfort dish. The burrito was a good combination of flavors. The salsa was good as well. We will definitely be back. The staff was friendly. Very helpful.

This place is a gem! The food and the coffee were so good and fresh! I appreciate the minimalistic decoration that was appealing for men and women alike! The services were very friendly and welcoming!

Iced dirty chai with a snickerdoodle cookie
Christy L.

Drive thru order: ordered two hot dirty chais and received iced, I was really wanting it hot but for an iced coffee it was decent. They were out of chocolate chip cookies but the snickerdoodle did the trick. I would've gone back for the hot version of this order but they were about to close. Will try again sometime.

Ambience.
Stacy T.

I can't say enough positive things about this place! Food and coffee drinks are so good. They have actual breakfast items with protein like breakfast burritos and egg sandwiches but elevated beyond your typical quick breakfast with healthy options too. Everything we've had we've enjoyed. The ambience might be my favorite part!

See all

I don't know if the owner (could be whoever served us!) reads these, but we visited the evening of…read moreFebruary 10th, 2024. The young woman working was the only one behind the counter, and she was not only taking orders, some complicated, making suggestions, making all of the orders, SERVING the orders to tables, and bussing everything alone. The line at some points curved beyond the door. I'm not sure for the solid hour we were there enjoying our treats did she have a minute to herself. For that, we tipped handsomely, but she deserves a raise. The dairy free ice cream was excellent. Super smooth, not too sweet, very creamy, and stayed solid, which is hard to find all of those attributes in dairy free ice cream together. I had an Ed's Sauce slush, but instead of just oat milk ice cream, I swirled it with pineapple whip. Altogether, it tasted like a tart Smartie. Pretty good but cloyingly sweet. My partner had a cinnamon, graham cracker, and pretzel shake. It was excellent. Our friend had the Jimmy Eats Swirl bowl, which is essentially a concrete/blizzard. They hand mix their concretes without a blender, which is so impressive. I still can't believe she handled that much of a crowd entirely alone with such complicated orders. Anyways, the ambiance is super chill, imagine Digital Bean from Lizzy McGwire meets Tokyo cat Cafe, but no actual cats. Next time I'm in Springfield again, will be returning for sure. Bonus: They have a buy a meal/take a meal program where you can leave some cash with a digital receipt and someone who needs a meal can take one to redeem for a hot meal. Bonus Bonus(!): the bathroom has a bidet!

Delicious plant based ice cream and shakes. Huge variety to choose from, mix and match. I had…read morepineapple soda with the mango ice cream float and it hit the spot. Staff is helpful and the space is very comfortable.

Shout out to Tyler, smiling and energetic owner, who creates 'Craft Soda' delights in a food…read moretruck!! Not sure if it's a new concept, but a definitely a thirst quenching treat! Order a 24oz. drink Cup for $~4 or 32oz. for ~$6. Overall rating 4.0+ for my experience, appreciating Tyler's entrepreneurship and variety of soda delights and cookies. Celebrating a Bday, the kids wanted to have a special treat, so Fizz's was the choice for a quick outdoor stop. Craft Sodas are a mix of base soda (Coke, Dr. Pepper, Sprite, Root Beer, Lemonade), plus mixing fun flavors, and then soft ice cream for a float. Thumbs up for the James River RB float, and also many other drinks to choose. We added a fresh cookie (Snickerdoodle or Chocolate Chip) to make a dessert combo ... 'sweet' treats to celebrate! Give Fizz's (parking lot by Ace Hardware on S. Campbell) a try and sample one of Tyler's creation if you want an inspired soda and some new flavors. Enjoy!

If you've ever been to the western states (Utah, I'm looking at you) then you'd know exactly what a…read morecraft soda and cookies shop is and how it works. Think Starbucks but instead of coffee as your base, soda is the base. So you can add all kinds of toppings, cream, syrups, etc. And they serve cookies, too. Now, soda is already sweet as it is! So add on syrups and it's A LOT. If you're new to this concept, stick with a diet soda if you're adding syrup and/or toppings. If you're just adding cream to it, then regular soda would be fine. But hey, if you think you can handle the sweet, go for it! My favorite that I've tried so far is the 417, but make it diet. It's a diet Dr Pepper, cream, and vanilla. Basic, but tasty. It's like a creamy vanilla Dr Pepper. And since it's diet, it isn't overpowering sugar on sugar. I've tried the Bear Trap, and it is good, but the cherry flavor is weird. I think it's because it is a cherry syrup and not a Cherry Coke. I think if it was a Cherry Coke with cinnamon, vanilla, and cream it would be fantastic! They also have Red Bull concoctions, if that's your thing. I haven't tried any of their cookies, but maybe next time I go I will. Overall, a fun treat and unique experience. Go check it out!
