A quaint old store front building on the town square that offers a perfect view of what I consider the most beautiful courthouse in Missouri and one of the best in America - worthy of a side trip in-itself. My cortado was smooth and my wife's cup of drip was robust. plenty of seating options and things to look at while you enjoy a traveling break. Get off the highway and support the locals keeping Americana alive and well for the future.

It's a nice space with seating where you can sit with a laptop, a koi pond and of course, the full greenhouse and nursery where you can seek out the things you need for your green thumb.

Great Breakfast Spot!…read more I'll start by admitting--I'm not usually a breakfast person. I like it fine, but I'd often rather wait until lunch to start eating for the day. We stopped here on our way back to Tulsa from Branson, and I'm so glad we did! My son had the pancake platter, which he absolutely loved. But the real star? The breakfast sliders. Oh my goodness--these are the BEST breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. The bread is perfect--fluffy on the inside, slightly crispy on the outside. I chose the sausage (bacon and ham are also options), and it was delicious. The eggs were perfectly cooked, and the cheese paired beautifully. You get two sliders per plate and can choose your side bread item--I went with the house potatoes, which were seasoned perfectly and had the same delightful fluffy-yet-crispy texture as the bread. I could only eat one slider myself and brought the other home for my husband--he texted me the next morning saying it was just as amazing. Our waitress (I'm sorry I forgot her name!) was so kind and welcoming. The place is small and charmingly decorated, adding to the cozy vibe. All in all, we had the best breakfast. This is definitely a must-stop and a place I'll recommend to anyone traveling this way. Highly recommend!

Today I solved that by walking up and surprising one of the baristas. After the initial shock, I placed our order at the sliding walk‑up window. The service was quick, and soon we were back on the road with two coffees. Both were excellent. Mrs. K declared the Blondie perfect, and my drip coffee with a small splash of cream was just right. I still don't understand why the Green Siren people insist on roasting their beans until they taste burned, while 7 Brew manages a roast that is smooth and balanced without any bitterness. That difference is why we'll happily go out of our way for them. The only drawback is that 7 Brew is drive‑through only, so it's not a place where I can linger with my laptop.
