They do get pretty busy on the weekend, so prepare for a longer wait in line. Overall, fantastic place. Highly recommend!

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.

This is a great spot for a college student that is feeling a bit overwhelmed, wants an alternative to the nightlife, needs the feel of family... The coffee is good, and they have other options too like smoothies. There's seating available inside and outside. It's comfy and cozy. But seriously it's the vibe and the staff that makes this place. Great addition to the MSU community. Easily accessible to all the colleges in the area.

I had a blood orange nitro coffee and it was amazing! The building is beautiful and a great place to relax or chat with a friend for a few minutes. The group that is outside of the shop with the dogs is very strange and this is not the shops fault but I don't understand why the city of Springfield doesn't ask them to move. The square in Springfield is beautiful and people don't need to camp out in the area.

I had a plain matcha latte with macadamia milk and added banana cold foam on top. The color isn't as vibrant green as I prefer my matcha and there was some clumping at the bottom, but the taste was still good. Delicious cold foam and the matcha wasn't bitter either. I also tried the Architect burrito with recommendation from the kind girl taking my order. It was delicious and full of flavor. Not usually a "vegan meat" person, but the chorizo flavor sounded best with the other ingredients of the burrito. 10/10!

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.

Echelon Coffee is a really solid coffee spot that clearly takes what they do seriously…read more The coffee is excellent, and if you go on the weekend, the biscuits and gravy are absolutely worth it. It feels like there's a lot of care behind everything they serve. It also has that feel of a well-run, possibly family-driven operation -- like everyone involved knows their role and executes it well. 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.

Service is okay usually, but I came through the drive through around 7 AM on Friday, 2/6 and was very disappointed. I was the only vehicle in the drive through from start to finish. I ordered the açaí bowl, and pulled to the window as directed. I waited a good 7-8 minutes, then the employee opened the window with the card reader and gave me the total. No "hi, hello, good morning," just the total. I waited a few more minutes and then the same employee opened the window and handed out my food without a word. I thanked him for the food and he just closed the window. The customer service was completely absent from the transaction. I don't expect a full conversation, but a simple greeting at the window or "you're welcome" when I got my food would have been nice. I also thought the (at least) 10-minute wait for an almost $14 after tax açaí bowl was a bit much, but I usually don't mind if the food and service is adequate. Not sure if the employees were just having a rough day, but the experience was disappointing at best and at 7 AM it has the potential to set the tone for the rest of a customer's day. Note - picture is after I mixed the bowl. It looks prettier when you first get it, and is more satisfying when you walk away with a better experience.

As someone who lives down the street, I wish y'all would lean more into being a coffee shop instead of... well, whatever your alcohol service is, but then I get that Booz sales have high margins, so I can't fault you for capitalizing. Since you are capitalizing, though, it wouldn't hurt if you had sole decent Booz. I can't get behind your cheap liquor. Where's the good stuff? And the wines? Meh. But, boy, y'all make a good cappuccino. Wish you had more coffee shop-type snacks and drinks to really dive deeper into the neighborhood coffee shop scene.
