On vacation and intentionally wanted to go to a local coffee shop (help small businesses please). Walked into Echelon and I immediately fell in love with the clean, open space. Staff was very welcoming, great menu. I chose an iced matcha latte lightly sweetened with vanilla. The taste and texture were delicious! They have a pretty good food/bakery selection but I had already eaten breakfast and only wanted matcha. Bought a shirt because the logo is cool. read more

pretty good. i got one of the seasonal lattes, the lavender something. it was good, not too overwhelming. to eat, i got the mo burrito that came with chips and salsa, and i really enjoyed the chips and salsa. my boyfriend got the velo, which he said was good but not great. the baristas were nice, maybe a little disjointed, but it was early so i can't blame them. i didn't go inside, but they do have a drive-thru which was clean and from what i could see of the inside, it looked very modern. read more

Skip the delicious cookie and go straight for the fresh warm cinnamon roll that is divine. Service is warm, friendly and knowledgeable. I'm not a coffee expert that can wax eloquent, but the coffee here is much better than what you find at your typical brand name shop. read more

This place is great location off the highway. Coffee is ok. Atmosphere is nice. I gave 3/5 due to they charge you to add extra syrups when they don't tell you up front that their semisweet. Overpriced and staff not super friendly. read more

I did not go in just drive through, wantEd to try something new. I couldnt find prices on the sign so I ordered a small coffee and I literally pooped my pants when I got to the check out window it was so exspensive. Then it taste like gas station coffee, which isn't horrible, but wouldnt have cost my life savings btw im selling one of my kidneys to help cover part of the cost of my coffee so if you are interested pls PM me read more

Lovely little cafe with fresh baked goods and great tasting coffee! Great place to grab a quick bite or enjoy the atmosphere.

I found this place on the Springfield Coffee Trail. I disliked this place so much I didn't even finish 1/2 of my cup of coffee. I went to have some time to care for personal business, - balance my budget, plan out my grocery list and meal plan, etc. 1. The seating isn't really set up to conduct business. It's more of a hang out with friends place I guess. But, didn't really have much room set up fit that either. 2. The employee had no idea what the coffee trail was, that the business was part of it, or know the code needed to check in. 3. Couldn't find a trash can anywhere! 4. I went outside to sit where I thought there was better seating for things I needed to care for. I was approached by a homeless couple who pretty aggressively asked for money. Then a few minutes later another homeless man just stood there watching me. I grabbed my purse and put it on my shoulder and clutched it tight. He than walked so close to me I could feel him behind me and there was plenty of room he had absolutely no reason to be that close to me. Overall 0/0 . I will never go back and would not recommend the place to anyone else either. read more

This place has a pour over coffee for $9.25. Enough said. How pretentious do you need to be to charge that much for ground beans and water?

We were traveling through and stopped for coffee & breakfast. First impression: pleasant environment, super cute, delicious smells. Open space but small enough to be comfortable. Would be enjoyable to hang out alone or with friends. I had a cortado, it was so good (for people who like the flavor of coffee, it's not sweet--besides the natural sweetness of milk). All the breakfast items we ordered were great (burrito, bagel sandwich, etc). Cinnamon roll was yummy, bagel was fresh! Tab adds up quickly for a family but it was worth it for us. Would definitely stop here again. read more

Stopped by on our way home from a big trip out West - service was fast and friendly and food/coffee delicious - nice to find a vegetarian breakfast burrito - so good! read more

Fantastic latte and food! Visiting from STL and Echelon was conveniently located, glad I stopped in! The decor is trendy and interesting and the staff are super friendly and conscientious about their product. I will definitely be back. Kevan R. read more

Below average breakfast burrito but good coffee. Cute drive thru. First coffee place I've ever been that doesn't do pup cups.

Thank you for saving me from hotel coffee! The barista who served me made me their signature latte and it was fantastic. I needed something better than hotel coffee to get me through this last day of work travel. I will come here EVERY morning now when I travel here! You could tell the coffee was fresh and well made. Next time I will order a cup of regular coffee but this treat hit the spot this morning. I will recommend it to my coworkers traveling in because we all love good coffee! read more

Best coffee and service. The hot chocolate was a huge hit as well. Try the granola and date syrup. You can't go wrong!

I used the drive thru and ordered a latte. Did wait a little longer than you would at Starbucks but the taste of the coffee was SO worth it! Good prices also. read more

Such a cool atmosphere and friendly baristas. I got the Formation Latte that had vanilla, cinnamon and honey in it and I thought it was delicious. I will definitely be back. read more

Echelon is a great place to get a cup of coffee. Quality beans and staff that knows how to extract it. Thumbs up from me.

I always like to stop by local coffee shops when I'm back in Springfield visiting friends/family. I started following Echelon on Instagram during the building process so I was excited to stop by this weekend. I could tell that the staff was still learning because of some mix ups, but both of the drinks we ordered tasted great! We got a vanilla latte and the formation frappe. Both were drinks were amazing and I will be stopping by again! read more

We found this coffee shop on Yelp, and it was only a mile or so from the hotel where we stayed. It had a bicycler vibe, clean, bright, friendly, good breakfast burritos, and excellent coffee. read more

We were traveling through Springfield on a road trip and planned to get coffee at a nearby chain when we drove by this place and saw there was no line in the drive thru. What a great find! My cappuccino was excellent and the milk was textured perfectly. Latte art in a to go cup? Yes, please! The service was also very attentive. The breakfast burrito was hot and tasty, and not at all greasy. I'll come back the next time I'm driving through. read more

Great coffee (their Ethiopian pour over is my fav so far, cold brew is great too!) and treats (try the homemade pop tart if you can!). Super friendly staff and great space for hanging out. Definitely a new Springfield staple :) read more

Ordered a drip coffee with added milk on the drive thru. 15 minutes later he tells us at the windows that they had to start a new pot and are running behind so would we please pull up. He did offer a refund but we felt awkward accepting that bc it was just going to be "4 more minutes". 10+ minutes later someone runs our single cup of coffee out. We drives away. I take a sip. It's gross. And there's no milk/cream added to it. Thankfully we're sitting in the Whataburger drive thru to get our kids a quick breakfast before continuing on our roadtrip, so my husband gets a couple half&half's there. I add and take another sip. Nope. No helping this coffee. It is the most bitter disgusting cup I've ever tasted. Something is definitely wrong with it. Too bad we've already wasted enough time and are finally back on 44. Wish I would have gone to another one of the coffee places within 100yds. read more

The staff here is super nice, informative of the menu options. They have not been open for very long but a really neat vibe at this coffee shop. I've ordered the cold brew coffee, it's got good flavor, hence of chocolate. I sound so pretentious. But overall it's good coffee. A nice alternative to the giant chains that are out there. read more

Echelon Coffee - a iced latte with handwritten note - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

Really good coffe ! Great vibes (: The energy in the place so special and welcoming, I will definitely going to come back every day read more

Easily the best coffee in Springfield. From plain Black Coffee to the Frappes. There isn't a thing on (or off) the menu that isn't delicious! read more

Only 1 drip roast- medium? Thats what McDonalds does. Not a premium coffee place. Also, no heavy cream ( by the way, having oat milk is not an offset) I know 2 stars is harsh- but this new place needs an early correction or it is at risk of never becoming an established place. It seems ok if you are after a sandwich or some kind of frappa-whatever, but it is not yet a "coffee" place. read more

I am always seeking non-franchised coffee because you might actually find something outstanding. This was my second visit (only happened upon on the way to drop off kiddo to college) and thought that the first time could have been a fluke. Nope. Both times the food and drink were amazing. They made a fine cortado and was convinced to have have their "world famous coffee cake" which just came from the oven. Was really pretty good and perhaps the smoothest textured coffee cake I've had. Can't foot stomp enough, out of the many places I've tried, this is among the best. read more

Went through twice on a road trip (there and back). We love it! Will stop here every time on our way to and from Nebraska!

Found this cute little coffee spot while traveling through to Texas. Good coffee, smoothies and chai. Also has yummy muffins and breakfast burritos. A nice break from the usual Starbucks stop. read more

Just ask for Gracie! What Incredible service. I went in for a quick cup of coffee, stayed for a pour over and a blueberry muffin and then purchased a bag of beans and two mugs. I can't wait to get back! read more

Staff was very kind and the drinks were really good. Definitely a great alternative to Starschmucks.
