They're always staffed in a way that is the most inefficient and ineffective of any place I've ever been to. They often have a dismissive rude attitude and take their sweet time to make any coffees.

I believe this place could be the best in town if they could just dial in their customer service and efficiency.

The Blue Heron is the kind of bakery you instantly wish you had back home. From the moment you walk…read morethrough the door, you're hit with the incredible smell of fresh pastries and baked goods. My wife and I were visiting the area and happened to stumble across this charming spot, and we're so glad we did. They offer a wide variety of European pastries, croissant sandwiches, and other bakery favorites. The standout for us was the brioche donut -- the filling was easily one of the best we've had, both in flavor and generosity. Every bite was packed perfectly. We also tried the breakfast croissant, which was delicious, but the white cheddar truly took it to another level. We noticed they also host cooking classes, which looked like such a fun experience. If we lived nearby, this would absolutely become a regular date night spot or a great activity with friends. Definitely a memorable find while traveling.

I have left them good ratings in the past, but my service on June 16th could have been much better…read more My daughter lives out of state and loves the espresso that they serve in their drinks. I asked the young lady which kind to buy to send to her, and she said they use a different one each day. I questioned her on it, because I had bought it there before, but she was adamant. And I did make it clear that it was what they use in their lattes and espresso drinks. Well I asked her which one was the most popular and she said the House Blend. I ended up getting 3 bags of coffee, which isn't cheap, which I did send to my daughter. After the fact, I called Mudhouse and they said that wasn't the one they used, but the one I bought would be just fine. Well it isn't for me and probably not my daughter. It is a much milder blend, that I assume belongs in brewed coffee. All the man said when I called him, is that he was sorry about that. Not good customer service for sure.

I will absolutely make a day trip from St. Louis to go have a meal here again, undoubtedly. The service was impeccable; everyone on site was warm, thoughtful and made sure the experience was perfect.

I was absolutely stuffed when I left; and have no regrets. The ambiance was warm, cozy and inviting; the absolute stop on a bubbling district street that has some of the best Springfield has to offer. If you're considering stopping by here? Go!

The group that is outside of the shop with the dogs is very strange and this is not the shops fault but I don't understand why the city of Springfield doesn't ask them to move. The square in Springfield is beautiful and people don't need to camp out in the area.

I said no way, I asked if they could break a twenty because I needed change. I tipped them a ten-dollar bill. Thanked them and walked away smiling. They were so nice and made my day, somehow making my interaction with the TSA and airport police fade away slightly, somehow. The counter was clean and well placed. The music was calming, and both attendants were nice and friendly. I say come and have some.
