I have been teaching for years in Springfield and there is no awesome coffee spot close to my building. Stopping at gas stations doesn't do it either. So I was really happy when I saw that this was going to open right around the corner from the school at which I teach. I was in on the Grand Opening day (Friday, Mar 3) and the place was hopping at 645 am. The service was quick and my peanut butter latte (nonfat) was served quickly and it was HOT. The expresso machine can be a tricky machine and shots can go wrong right away, it was great. The café was full, there were students dressed like they just woke up (who I would see later dressed better at school) in line behind me. Students were coming in to school with Scout's cups and drinks in hand. They all said the same thing, they were happy with the product and the price. I failed to mention the biscotti that I purchased. It was outsourced somewhere locally and it was really good too. They have paired well with a local baker. The dude in charge (I think he was the manager) was running bagels from the back while his staff was cranking out the drinks. It was great. I went back this morning (Mon) and it was quiet. I got the same service and got to talk to the dude (Tony). He is very proud of the café that he, his sister, and other partners have created. It was clear that he was excited about the business venture. They have some flavors at the bar that they must be experimenting with , they were not on the menu and will probably not be around long. I had a Toasted Marshmallow latte this morning and it was even better than the PB one. It was really good. Service was quick and friendly. Everyone seemed awake, not grumpy. Many times morning employees can be very unfriendly, but that was not the case here. It was a great experience. I am used to coffee house type experiences in Columbus, and the SHort North. Scout's has a great opportunity to be the neighborhood place. I hope the locals all stop in on their way to work. It was clean, it was inexpensive (cheaper than Columbus prices) and delicious. I can't be positive enough on how good this is. I wish something like this had been around for years, but hopefully it will be until I retire. Good luck to the owners. Welcome to Northridge. (A few signature drinks would be awesome. I could suggest a few...hahah) read more

Scout's Cafe (N. Limestone) was a wonderful experience and exactly the kind of coffee shop atmosphere my friend and I were looking for. Since it's located downtown, parking can be a little more challenging, but that's to be expected and was well worth it. The staff was one of the highlights of our visit. The girls working were friendly, personable, and very knowledgeable about the menu. They took the time to answer questions and made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we walked in. As two moms meeting for coffee with young children, we especially appreciated that they offered smoothies for the kids. While the flexible/ inclusive seating options at this location were somewhat limited, the space was so warm, inviting, and thoughtfully designed that it didn't matter. The atmosphere felt comfortable and welcoming, making it easy to settle in and enjoy our time together. Great drinks, great service, and a cozy environment that encourages you to stay awhile. We'll definitely be back. read more

Great coffee! I got a vanilla latte, half sweet and it was perfect. My only qualm is that they didn't fill the entire cup with milk so it tasted stronger than a latte usually does. The taste of the coffee itself and the service were excellent, would definitely go back if I'm in the area. read more

Staff was friendly and the space is cute! Definitely agree with some other reviews about it getting a little noisy due to nothing absorbing all the talking, but it wouldn't be a reason not to go back. Got a vanilla latte and loved it! read more

Scout's Cafe - Vanilla latte (whole milk, half-sweet) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Springfield, Ohio

From out of town, mother-in-law suggested Scout's. Not busy, plenty of parking. Inside very welcoming and cozy. Bought cute coffee cup earrings. Tried something different, white chocolate raspberry with extra foam. Wasn't too crazy with the raspberry flavor. Too tart. Will definitely get a different flavor next time. In fairness, can not give a review on coffee taste due to the raspberry flavor. But service was wonderful. Very friendly. Just wouldn't suggest raspberry flavor. read more

What a great local coffee place. The service was great. My cafe mocha was so good that my wife, who doesn't like coffee, thought it was good! I can't recommend it enough! Skip the chains and go local! read more

We love the selection of drinks. The service is amazing and it is the cutest coffee shop around. We go every Sunday and they love dogs!

They absolutely deserve every star! Butter beer latte was superb! The sign in the bathroom says, "Employees must stop crying before going back to work." The ONLY downside is that the toilet roll rolled down the back instead of over the top. EVERYONE knows that unless you have a cat problem (and they don't, I asked) toilet rolls are supposed to roll over the top in polite societies. But aside from that they are perfect. read more

Good food, friendly faces, good service and nice atmosphere. Just wasn't my cup of coffee (sorry had to throw in that pun). But I'm sure others will like it! ENJOY! read more

Great coffee and efficient staff!! I would like to see the inside more cozy with space to talk privately.

Nice atmosphere and great personnel! We used their establishment for a baby reveal. I can't recommend this place. It was clean and they couldn't have been nicer. read more

Great prices and the baristas are amazing. It's my go to for chai tea and frappes . Hours are great

Best small town coffee here in Springfield. And the drive through is a great option when on a rush!

Scout's has always had great coffee. I've had a good experience every time I have gone. They also have food trucks often.

Tried for the first time today. Friendly service. Good coffee. We will definitely be regulars!

The best coffee I've had in Springfield! I like their iced lattes and do not mind traveling a few extra miles to go and get it! Their building could be improved to have more sound absorbing techniques, because it's hard to be sitting there when there are a bunch of conversations around and you can't hear someone across from you at their table! I think it's great that they feature local art that you can buy at a reasonable price!! read more

I love the frozen hot chocolate, it is my go to drink. A very nice and quiet place to study.

Scout's is my favorite coffee shop!!! All the baristas are friendly and always make our drinks just the way we like them. They have pastries baked by a local baker, to go with your coffee. They've been open almost a year, and are the best addition to the Northridge/North Springfield area! They also have different food trucks there several times a month. Check out their Facebook page to see when your favorite food truck will be there! read more

What a cool, little spot! I heard about Scout's during the Thanksgiving 5K and decided to try it out. I was given a recommendation by the barista and it was right on point (but of course I don't remember what it was called. But they won't steer you wrong.). We drank our coffee there and really enjoyed the break from everything. I'd definitely go back. read more

This is a quaint coffee shop, with great coffee and baked goods supplied by a local baker, The staff is very friendly and they will custom make your drinks the way you want them. They have food trucks come in which is good for a change makes it nice not having to drive to restaurant row or out of town for something different. read more

I love, love, love this little shop! Northridge really needed a coffee shop and I'm so thrilled that someone has finally filled that void. The frozen chai is great and I can't wait to see what they have coming up for Fall! The staff is super friendly and always willing to recommend something. read more

Visit this place almost every day!!! Great drinks, snacks, and a wonderful staff. Absolutely recommend everyone to try.

It's really hard to find a nice place in Springfield just to get a quick coffee or smoothie. Scouts is great for the Springfield area, we needed a new and refreshing place. read more

Couldn't wait to try the newest coffee house in town! Came here after church and glad I did!! Love the decorating of neutral tones of wood, iron and leather. The natural lighting coming thru the large windows is wonderful. I had the single origin Ethiopian coffee and loved it...Very smooth. Friendly crew happily explained the coffees they were offering. Can't wait to try some of their fru-fru drinks. So needless to say, I will definitely be back!! read more

Best coffee house around the Miami Valley! Great service, spacious inside, ample parking and the staff is amazing! I also appreciate the fact that they focus on "coffee" without making it overkill! My favorite: Medium Coconut, Honey and Almond Latte! read more

Today was the 3rd or 4th time I've been to Scout's and I think I love this place! The manager (young guy who I think is pictured when you pull up Scout's on Yelp) is so friendly and helpful. The atmosphere and products are great! The frozen, caramel latte ... yum! My husband and I were here this morning from 9:30-11:30 just talking, reading and playing on our phones. Great addition to Northridge! We'll be back! read more
