The Boston Creme pie was scrumptious! with a dark chocolate generously drizzled on top. The potato salad was the best I've ever tasted. The amazing decorations including the multitude of chandeliers & brilliant color schemes must be seen to be believed. Negative: Server would disappear for 15 or 20 minutes after bringing water; then disappear for another 15 minutes after bringing coffee; ditto for serving the meal which arrived one hour & 15 minutes after we sat down at our table at 11 am; same for dessert--it took 20 minutes after we finished the main course for the server to return & bring our checks. We only had six people in our own fabulous pink room. There were only 5 or 6 people out front so why did it take 3 hours to be served our lunch & to leave from the time we arrived at 11 am & didn't get to leave until 1:30 pm. Three hours to get our meal & eat was an incredibly long period of time. It was freezing in there--the room temperature was zero.

Great addition to the MSU community. Easily accessible to all the colleges in the area.

Excellent hot chocolate and mint mocha.

The square in Springfield is beautiful and people don't need to camp out in the area.

El Cafecito - The Little Coffee Shop completely exceeded expectations…read more The coffee was phenomenal, the food was excellent, and the people were genuinely warm and welcoming. What really stands out, though, is the space -- it's small, but incredibly well thought out. You can tell a lot of care and intention went into every detail, and it creates an atmosphere that feels both personal and elevated. It honestly feels like the kind of place a professional designer would put together, but in a way that still feels authentic and lived-in. Everything flows -- the branding, the layout, the vibe -- it just works. There are a couple small quirks (like grabbing your own silverware even though food is brought to the table), but nothing that takes away from the experience -- and once you know, it's no big deal. Between the coffee, the food, the people, and the overall feel, this place is a standout. Easily one of my favorites.

The vibe is good, the space is inviting, and it's just an enjoyable place to spend some time. Pricing is a bit on the higher side -- more of a "treat yourself" stop than an everyday routine -- but the quality backs it up. Definitely worth a visit, especially if you appreciate good coffee.

Thankfully, my trusty list of Yelp restaurants was handy, and I searched through ones that offered dessert and found this gem. We went on a weekday after 5 PM and surprisingly, we were able to slip right into a curb parking spot. This area is super cute and I was quite excited to try Prairie Pie for the first time. We made our way inside and were immediately greeted by someone at the counter. She was very nice and informative, took our order after giving us a moment to review the menu, and then we took a seat. We purchased an assortment of cookies and a couple slices of pie to sample there and at home, in addition to a chai tea latte and a lemonade to drink. The chai tea latte was for me and it was delicious. It was topped with whipped cream and what I believe with cinnamon. It was a warm tea and very good. It's probably one of my favorite chai tea lattes that I've ever had honestly. It definitely kicked Starbucks in the bum. I had the honey and sea salt pie while I was there, and I have some cookies and a slice of pumpkin pie to try at the house. The honey sea salt pie was delicious. It had a very generous honey flavor and the sea salt cut the sweetness in such a perfect way. It was a beautiful balance between sweet and salty. My husband enjoyed his confetti cookies and his lemonade. They also offer entrée options of various sandwiches and more. Unfortunately, we had dinner prior, so I didn't pay much attention to that part of the menu since we just came for a dessert, but I'm looking forward to going back and trying some of those options next time. Highly recommend stopping by Prairie Pie for a quick bite. The honey sea salt pie is one of my new favorites. Looking forward to seeing what other options they have in the future. Also, while you're here, make your way over to the store across the brick path. I can't recall the name of it, but it's a super cute little shop with lots of unique things to purchase. We were very pleased with our trip to this area and can't wait to go back

My Italian sub wasn't the best Italian i've ever had but i give it a 3.5/5. it was a little sloppy, and i didn't care for the bread, maybe i should have toasted it. the meat tasted good and veggies tasted fresh. Im not sure what i could have added to make it taste better, but it was okay. my brother said his Ham sandwich was very good. 4.2/5 he didn't care the bread, veggies fresh and meat was good, said it was a clean sandwich not messy. only complaint was too much mayo. The sandwich shop was very clean and nice looking. $15 bucks for the Italian didn't seem worth it. my brothers Ham was $13 bucks.
