Chris Camp and the Blues Ambassadors

We sat in the lounge. You can still get everything from a reasonably priced sandwich to a full meal. The atmosphere is unique in Springfield, with low ceilings and live music some nights. The wait staff were slammed as the place was packed, but we weren't in a hurry.

Bowl of Chili
Steven P.

Full disclosure - This review will be a tad long, but worth the read! I have been to quite a few cafes but this slice of Americana was not what I expected! The food was great, if that is all you know or care about then you can stop reading at this point, but I am going to share my experience. I had a bowl of chili when I first arrived and then when my partner in crime showed up I ordered an American burger with steak fries and she had a reuben with steak fries; all of the above was outstanding!! All too often, going to eat at a restaurant has become fast paced and forgettable in our current culture, but today was an exception. I arrived earlier than my fiancé as we had separate missions today before getting a bite to eat. I spent about an hour just sitting at the bar observing and people watching...the ambience was fantastic. The memorabilia on the walls is a combination of The Beatles, American culture, Irish culture, and remembrance placards to those regulars who helped establish and shape the character of the restaurant. Mustard and ketchup in real jars, miniature salt and pepper shakers, real linens, wine glasses that hung from the brass racks above the bar - perfect! The owner (I am assuming) was tucked away in his office carefully hidden behind the mirrored wall but current regulars/friends would ask the bartender if he was around and then go pop in to say hello. The bartender and one waitress on duty were having the type of conversation I could listen to for hours; they knew nearly everyone who walked in by their first name, what they drank, wanted to eat, etc. The music rotating through the 5 tray old school CD player was perfect, as a combination of Fleetwood Mac and Carly Simon era nostalgia was drenching the place in a time gone by. I cannot express enough how perfect it was to feel as if I was immersed in an experience that took me back to my parent's generation - people mattered, conversation mattered, a way of life mattered - the food was just an added bonus!

Shrimp Horseshoe
Ana P.

Came in for lunch with a large party. We waited awhile for the waitress to take our orders and the food took a long time to come. Everyone enjoyed their lunch, however. My Fettuccine Alfredo came with a salad and was absolutely delicious!!! I loved the Mushrooms and Tomatoes in the Alfredo Sauce. I asked for it to be lightly sauced and it was perfect! The Horseshoes were good but not the best we have had. Everyone would have preferred the cheese sauce to be over the fries instead of on the bottom of the plate. The BLT was huge and good. The Cobb salad was also great. Very good lunch overall!

Pork Chop

I was in a group of 8 for New Year's Eve.Once we were seated we waited a good 25-30 minutes for our waitress to come to the table. She was crabby and rude which did not set well with me, especially after looking over the limited menu and noticing that they jacked up the price a good $10-15 an entree since it was NYE. The food was excellent but it was annoying knowing I could go the next night and get the same thing for a lot less.

We come here every couple of months. Great food and service!! One of the better steaks in Springfield. Love the stuffed shrimp!! Generally and older crowd, however, tonight they had younger people there.

Seafood salad, crab shrimp and lots of it, fresh fruit and a muffin.

I can see why the business hasn't quite claimed their business in Yelp; a few of these reviews…read moreleave a lot to be desired. However, I approve of some of the reviews as they do a nice job of describing the vibe. PAPO! I just wanted to type/yell that word because it feels fun to me! The cafe's name is in reference to both of his grandfathers, just an fyi. Okay, so Papo's (even though I'm not using all caps, I'm still shouting it) is a locally owned cafe. They thought of all the things by including a drive-thru, plenty of seating inside, a party space you can rent out, etc. It goes head-to-head with other corporate competitors that shall not receive free advertising from moi. I really like their setup, you have to walk towards the back of the space to put in your order at the counter. It reminds me of eating at a posh children's museum or aquarium. A lot of variety, many healthy choices, and some sweets here and there. It's designed to guide you through choosing a drink, grabbing a side, ordering food and coffee, then grabbing a seat while its being prepared. The food is made in-house, and it shows. I ordered an Açaí bowl and tried a donut. Delicious! My daughter loved her avocado toast+egg+balsamic glaze. My husband ate his food so quickly, I'm not even sure what he had! All that to say, it's very good and it's quite small. I was a little surprised, as the Açaí bowl was $10.99 and the same size I would give to a child. So, be ready for that and order more so you don't have to go up twice. The design is alright, it seems to be more of a minimal aesthetic. I took a picture of the buffet area near the seating as an example. It looks like there should be more there, not sure what but I'm guessing it too was affected by the pandemic. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful that the trend of the early 2000's is a faded memory. No, it's not cool to put street signs, sarcastic signs, clever signs, skis, fishing poles, and other tchotchkes on the wall. I digress. Papo's is nice, the food is quality, and I would recommend checking them out. Be sure to grab a donut with fruit loops on it before heading out! That alone is worth the trip.

Everyone talking about pre-workout this, pre-workout that ... what about post-workout?!? What are…read moreyou doing to fuel your body after showing up for your workout? Papo's Cafe has become a staple in my Saturday morning routine and for good reason! Yes, there are plenty of sweet treats, muffins, cake pops, etc. which I always look at and sniff but have yet to indulge in. What hits home for me? The meat lovers bowl is packed with protein and a dollop of avocado adds a healthy creaminess that you don't have to feel guilty about. In a world full of cheat codes this is one choice you don't have to feel bad about. Treat yourself to a beautiful setting (the restaurant is clean and inviting) and a top tier meal, this has been the perfect way to decompress after a good pump!

Caffeine customized to your liking…read more 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.

I highly recommend coffee here. I got a cortado and it was excellent. If you don't know your…read morecoffees well though, just know cortados are going to be much smaller volume in a bigger sized cup (unless the store specifically has smaller sized cups). My son was holding my coffee and was like, "Mom, they didn't give you a lot of coffee." I had to explain it was how the cortado was suppose to be made and I expected the cup not to be full. Anywho...it was excellent flavor, brewed correctly and the steamed milk did not over power the espresso itself. Very nice cup. Now, I do wish my brain had been functioned correctly because I came in to order bagels for some camp kiddos for breakfast the next day. I asked if they were house made or brought in. As soon as I was told they weren't house made I should have ended my order with the cortado. However, I wasn't thinking and was in a hurry to get back on the road. I ordered 5 bagels, 3 with cream cheese and 2 with butter. I expected to be charged some for cream cheese, but thought butter would be free. It isn't, they charge for it. I didn't know if there would be butter available at the camp the next morning so I just ordered it anyways. I think butter should always be free with bagels/bread/toast/etc. these bagels were like bagels I would buy at Walmart...but instead of paying like $2-$4 (great value or Thomas brands) for 6 bagels. I needed up paying about $4 a bagel! again, wasn't thinking or I would have canceled out the bagels. It wasn't until it would have been awkwardly too late to cancel them bagging them and asking for a refund that I realized how much I had just spent. Then when I saw the bagels, my gut just kind of dropped, cause they were not great quality bagels. But, kids had food the next morning and it wasn't the end of the world. Learned a lesson. They did cut the bagels in half which would have bothered me more if they weren't for kids but again would have been nice for them to ask first as we weren't eating them that day. However, despite the bagels, I'd still recommend trying them out, especially for coffee. They looked like they had some good bakery options, salads looked fresh and full of ingredients, and they had lots and lots on their menu!
