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!

Best Starbucks in Springfield! Every drink I've ordered here has been made perfectly and always…read moretastes amazing. You can tell the baristas genuinely care about the quality of their drinks and put a lot of effort into getting every order right. I've never had a wrong order or a drink that tasted off from this location. The staff is friendly, consistent and always delivers a great experience. This is definitely my go-to Starbucks in Springfield! Unlike the Freedom location, where the drinks often taste inconsistent, seem to have too much milk and end up tasting more like milk and syrup than coffee, but this store gets it right every time. The quality and consistency here keep me coming back!

Just opened November 2024 in Ballwin…read more Parking: the lot for the strip mall gets VERY full during the lunch hours since there are several surrounding restaurants popular with business folks. They have 6 rotating flavors available at a time. When I visited, the flavors included Chocolate Chip, Brookie, Reese's Peanut Butter Cup S'more, Pecan Pie, Carrot Cake, Better Than Pumpkin Pie. They also have: Crookie (the viral croissant cookie) and Cravelets (10 pack of bite-sized chocolate chip cookies). This is also one of the only places in the area where you can get a LOADED SODA! Try one of their curated flavor combinations or mix & match over 20 syrups to make your perfect drink. I love mine with Dr. Pepper, lime and coconut cream.

Placed an order tonight at 7:30, 1.5 hours before they closed. When I arrived, I gave them my order…read morename and she told me there would be a 10 min wait on the cookies because they were in the oven. Turns out, they only had ONE out of the roughly 7 or 8 flavors ready to be served. When two gentlemen came in, the worker told them there was a wait on all of the cookies and seemed to be telling them to not order because it would take so long. She told them one of the cookies that they ordered would take 22 minutes because they were JUST put in the oven. There is no reason why there should be only be ONE cookie flavor ready for customers at a COOKIE shop with over an hour until close left. I waited 10 minutes for my cookie to be so burning hot, right out of the oven that I couldn't even eat it for another 10 minutes. The workers did nothing to make it up either. I have been going to Crave almost weekly for months now and I was very disappointed today.
