    Must be newly opened or a soft opening (May 5, 2024). This seems like a cool space! Hopefully they start advertising and correct their hours. They don't seem to be posted correctly, as it's currently 2:30pm and there's still live music going, that, according to Illinois Times, goes til 4pm. (Signs posted on banners and the Yelp hours say it closes at 2 everyday - though I've previously been here at night - and the worker inside just told me they're open til 8pm.) The food seems pretty decent with a variety of options. Tacos in one stand, BBQ (pricey but smells great) in the next, and a sort of Asian/Ramen/Bao stand on the end. This place has some real good hang potential once people know it's open (the website still says "coming Spring 2024" instead of currently open. Come on out Springfield. Support local. And local businesses, the tiniest bit of advertising goes a long way - updated hours and websites. Hope maybe this post helps get the word out. Springfield, photograph your visits to businesses to help out. PS the ice cream and coffee inside is excellent!

    Small coffee shop, serves roasted coffee, which is delicious, best coffee that my boyfriend has had. Beans come from Elm City Roastery. I had a small maple latte. No skim milk, ordered with Almond milk. We had a homemade red velvet cookie. All cookies and scones are homemade. Also serve homemade ice cream. No breakfast meals, but lunch serves sandwiches and soups. $$

    We had an amazing experience here today. From the moment we walked in, the owner personally greeted…read moreeveryone, which immediately set a welcoming tone. She even made a point to walk around and check on each table, making sure everything was perfect--that kind of attention really stood out. I ordered the Thai pork bowl, and it was absolutely packed with flavor--perfectly balanced with a little heat, a touch of sweetness, juicy pork, and a satisfying crunch from the coleslaw. The sauces tied everything together beautifully. My wife got the chicken ranch sandwich and couldn't stop raving about it. I took a bite myself and was seriously impressed. The chicken was incredibly juicy and flavorful, the bread was outstanding, and the candied bacon took it over the top--truly next-level. This sandwich was done right. To finish things off, we tried the oatmeal cream pie cookie, and it did not disappoint. It was soft, perfectly baked, and full of rich flavor. I even had to grab a side of that candied bacon to go--it was that good. We'll definitely be back.

    The food is delicious. I had the Southwest bowl and the quality of the ingredients was shockingly…read moregood. Get the bread - you won't need it (the bowl is huge), but they make it and grill it and it is delicious. Get a cookie to have later (I ate mine over the course of 3 days). I recommend the chocolate peanut butter. The service is friendly and efficient. Ambience is okay. It's busy and the seating is a bit uncomfortable and tight, but they did maximize the utility of the space.

    Incredible. Simply incredible. Super friendly and attentive staff. Very relaxed and cozy…read moreatmosphere. And the food? So, freaking, good. Our party enjoyed the spaghetti with meatballs and pizza. Everything tasted amazing and fresh. The desserts were incredible, especially the tiramisu. While parking can be a hassle depending on when you go, it is well worth it. Cannot stop thinking about the food since we left and am very excited to come back soon.

    Ok so, it's hard to know where to start with this place! We were greeted by a nicer middle aged man…read morethat was so helpful. He explained the menu and made some awesome suggestions. The ambiance was welcoming and made you feel like you were definitely in an Italian restaurant. It was a little loud but not to a point where it was unbearable. We started with some Itialian lemon tea and peach tea that were unbelievably tasteful. We also had to try the black cherry cane soda that was so flavorful. NEW YEARS SALAD was so good and everything in the salad seemed to be of high quality. I wish there was a little more dressing but overall the amount of dressing would prob be great for the normal person. I ordered the FUSILLI AL PESTO and it was so good. I added shrimp to it and it went well with the flavor. The bread they bring out was so soft and delicious. We could have eaten another loaf. We also ordered the pizza and it was so good. The kids ate the whole pizza and said we have to come back here again. I have to say the pizza was not like any other pizza in town. The parking can be a bit tough but absolutely worth trying to find a spot.

    Dropped in because of the name, not disappointed. I do enjoy a pun. Nice selection of savory…read morebaked goods, got some lunch type stuff to go which warmed up easily in a microwave in my hotel. Liked it so much, returned to get road trip snacks the next day when we left town. Friendly service without the usual annoying "I'll help whose next in line," or "would you like a receipt today?" or worst of all, "Have a nice rest of your day." Instead I got a plain English, "hello," and "thank you." I do so like my baked goods with good, clear, communication, especially before coffee is on board.

    My son and I are bakery enthusiasts. We look up a couple bakeries in the towns we travel to and…read morewe pick one and go taste the treats. I don't like to give low ratings to local establishments, but sometimes it's just that bad. We were intrigued by the F*ck cookies and the interesting pastry flavors. $41 + tip was spent on 4 of the most tasteless cookies I have ever eaten in.my.life. Honestly, I'm a "for fun" baker at best and my teens thought my sugar cookies were/are heaps above these. The icing, which I feel may have had too much meringue in them to help set. They freaking cracked when biting into the flavorless cookie. I urge you to seriously rethink this recipe. I got the guava Danish, this was actually good. One son (the other bakery enthusiast) got the ube cheesecake. He will eat ALL THINGS ube. He said it tasted like nothing. And the other son got the black mass cheesecake and he didn't have any complaints, but he's also not a bakery snob like us. Very disappointed to spend that much money on really bad sweets.
