I attended the slow opening on November 4th, and the employees were fast and cranking out ice cream scoops as quickly as possible. Great service even on day 1!! I decided I wanted to try the flight - try em all! This was great to share and try all thr fun flavors. Totally worth it. If you know Dani, she loves putting unique flavors in her creations and never skimps on quality. Box Turtle Creamery is no different. She also loves using seasonal and local fresh ingredients from local businesses and farms ad much as possible. I can't wait to try all the fall and winter season flavors of ice cream at Box Turtle Creamery.

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!

Despite the late hour (past 10pm!), there was still a bit of a crowd here which is always a good sign. I ordered, paid and a moment later, was handed the custard. Mrs. K. is a classicist and so we were with the regular chocolate custard. It doesn't need anything mixed in to improve. It's already fabulously rich chocolate flavor, creamy as it's custard, and absolutely delicious. It is truly the best custard. [Review 862 of 2026 - 568 in Missouri - 26043 overall]

Cool new coffee shop downtown and open late. Anyone who knows me, knows I love a regular place that…read morestays open late. I loved the decor and vibe with the neon lights and plants. They have potted plants and starter plants in vases everywhere. Adorable. Clean, modern meets industrial interior design. The seating options are vast and well placed. Some good for individuals, small groups, and large groups. Bar seating, table seating, couch seating, booth seating, it is all there. The menu is pretty simple, but it works. We ordered affogato, a tumeric latte, and a hot cocoa. The affogato was strong tasting and the espresso a little bitter. After being mixed in with the ice cream, much better. This combo was espresso, salted caramel, walnuts, and caramel syrup. It was alright! Tumeric latte; not the worst thing I've ever had, but far from the best. I've also never had a tumeric latte, so it could have just been me. It tasted bitter and bland at the same time. Maybe too much milk? I dunno... Hot cocoa; saving grace. I gave up on the tumeric latte and got a hot cocoa. It was a more bitter hot cocoa than most (not just straight up sugar) but I like hot cocoa that way. Location, hours (open late = GREAT), and overall vibe is what pulls this place together. A couple of small things... Looks like they have some limited outlets to plug in your devices against the walls, but I think if they added more, it would be a great to get more college students and young professionals in. I also think the potted plants on the tables were slightly too large to carry on conversation and block the view of your group. The back room was a little drafty and too acoustic with multiple people in there. Overall, 4/5 stars. This being their first day open to the public, I'm sure they'll refine their recipes, procedures, work out the kinks, etc. I'm excited to come back in the future.
