If you find yourself near Branson, White River Coffee in Rockaway Beach is an absolute must-stop for me every time I'm in the area. The espresso is rich and beautifully balanced with deep flavor -- smooth, bold, and thankfully not overly citrusy like so many modern roasts. The staff are genuinely welcoming and friendly, which makes the whole experience feel like visiting old friends. The shop itself is charming, cozy, and full of character, and the outdoor seating area is one of my favorite spots to slow down, sip, and just take in the moment. Great coffee, great people, and a space that invites you to stay awhile -- highly recommended read more

Love this little coffee shop! What a great way to support the community here! Prices are reasonable and the coffee and food are great! The staff is always so pleasant. An extra benefit is there is a thrift store next door - so a nice place to meet my friend, have a coffee and chat then shop at the thrift store! read more

I had a Black Bear coffee that was really good. The lady working there was really nice. I would recommend this to anyone.

I usually stop in for coffee here while in town visiting family. They're always friendly and service is great. Today I had the Black Bear 'River Original' and it was fantastic. I could have one every day! They also serve a few hot breakfast and bakery items. Last year they expanded the seating area and it's beautiful! Highly recommend! Next door is the Bridge of Faith Thrift Store where you're sure to find bargains! Two opportunities to support the community and local business! read more

I LOVED this place! The owners were welcoming, cheerful, and full of knowledge of the area and its history. The biscuits were the BEST I've ever had (sorry Grandma)... so light and fluffy like clouds. The Wild Blueberry Muffin is a favorite and the Oatmilk Latte was a dream. This is a MUST if you're in the area, but go early as the biscuits fly out the door with admiring customers. White River Coffee and its owners are a true blessing. read more

Loved this cute little coffee shop near the place we were staying! They had a variety of menu items and could make anything you wanted. We got the Ozark Trail and Smokey Mountain specialty drinks and were delicious and sweet as expected. Everyone very nice, fair prices, and delicious muffins! We didn't try the sandwiches but looks like they had lunch items too. read more

I fell in love with this place from the minute I walked in the door. The staff was smiling, friendly, helpful, and genuinely seemed happy to to be there. The gentleman that helped me is working here as a summer job from teaching 5th grade. Goodness knows he's got to be enjoying the break from teaching. LOL The chicken salad sandwich with cranberries and pecans was very good and the croissant was very fresh and yummy. The frap I had to go with it was good. Next time I will try a hot drink and write another review. I saw the most heartwarming gesture towards a customer by a woman I believe was probably the manager. It really touched my heart. We need more people like her in the world! Highly recommend this darling place for food, drink, the outdoor and indoor seating, clean bathroom, reasonable pricing, and outstanding employees! read more

Whoop! What a great little place. Off any main road but well worth it. We stopped in for lunch and I had the Jon Boat (I think was the name). Steak and cheese panini. The meat was good, cheese melty, and the bread nice and crispy. The sandwich came with potato chips and pickle spears. Even the spears were good, nice and crunchy, not a soggy mess. We had wonderful weather to sit outside which allowed us to bring our dog out on the patio area. The outside was very comfortable, not crowded in terms of tables and space. Not a big menu by any stretch of the imagination. I would love to see them add more items so it will give me reason to go back and not have the same choice of the handful of sandwiches they do have. Prices were fair. Didn't have coffee so I can't comment on that. All in all a very good experience and well worth a visit. read more

This coffee shop was our home base for breakfast every day for our 5th Graders mission trip. An awesome place to stop in on if you're in the area, and need a quick coffee (recommend the Muddy River - add a scoop of protein to boost it), breakfast, or a tasty lunch (Kayak is a creative twist, I thought, with the sliced apples). They fed us breakfast everyday (even on their closed day), and lunch one day. We were so thankful to have such wonderful and kind hosts. You'll find plenty of space here to hang out with a friend or two, or a small group. We spent time inside, and outdoors on the deck with cover in the arbor or the tables with umbrellas. There is also a nice and clean bathroom! But, the food and space is only part of why coming here is so cool. If you have some time, come by and let the owner Dean, or his wife, if she's there (earlier in the morning before she goes to work), tell you the story behind the shop, the surrounding area, and the missions going on just steps away from this gem. You'll be amazed at the heart these people have for the city of Rockaway Beach. read more

Was staying nearby and was kind of bummed nothing I was used to going to was nearby. After searching for "coffee" in the morning we found this little place .5 miles away from where we were staying and it made the location of our AirBnB a million times better. The coffee here is amazing and reasonably priced considering I got my Wife and I each a large Hot drink and it was under $10. At commercial places you can't even get one drink for less than 6 dollars majority of the time unless you just like over spending for plain coffee. The food here is fine. It's not like it's a big restaurant where they can invest a lot into making the food amazing or anything, but for what it is and it's cost it's still worth 5 stars in my opinion. The two people who were working here at the time we got here were both very kind and very patient with my wife and I. The ambience of the place is very cozy feeling and the amount of people the employees seem to know by name also speaks to how great of a place this is. The decor also fits the name since when I think of the white river i think of fishing and older things. read more

Eggnog lattes were good. Biscuit and gravy, homemade muffin. It was all great! Highly recommended.

Tucked off the main street. If walking, you'll have hills to climb, but destination is worth it. Homemade pastries, and deli menu. Great place for children. In our case one year old in a stroller. read more

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. We are staying at a local Airbnb near by and happened to stop in. We were blow away by this little gem of a cafe. The sandwiches were incredible, and the coffee was so good. We both got coffee (seasonal peeps latte and the sugar maple latte) and sandwiches (the kayak and the jonboat). We LOVED the kayak and are planning on coming back the next day to oder two more sandwiches and coffees. read more

I got a mocha from here. It was good. A little too sweet for my taste but I just like darker coffee.

A coffee house that doesn't smell or taste like coffee, I came to the establishment by a whim of searching "coffee " on Apple Maps pulled a nice hole in the wall coffee shop figuring support small and local businesses whenever traveling. I first ordered a signature coffee of there's the "ozark trail" it was all crème and sugar but no coffee to be found! The service was quick and speedy as if having a book and wanting to enjoy a small town atmosphere was for the birds. After receiving my drink of crème and sugar I went to the nice patio to enjoy the local artist of the town playing acoustic guitar and singing. As the show began the artist began a lovely rendition of happy birthday and over the rainbow then mentioning the pastor/ mayor was attending. Then a right turn of the artist singing her very own political song! Over all the people were friendly and relatively polite. I returned inside for coffee I ordered there special a "iced chai latte" with a added three shots of espresso this time i got some kind of coffee still very sweet! I also ordered a "Philly paddle board" which was cooked long enough to melt the cheese for the quesadilla very unappetizing. When I checked what's inside it was, what looked liked two thin slices of microwaved beef with cheese and bell pepper that have been in a 1/6th pan for days basically mush. Please support other local coffee shops in the Springfield area!!! read more

This place was definitely modern, but had so much character to it as well. The atmosphere is very calm and pleasant as well as warm and inviting. There's only been a handful of times I've seen the use of a tablet as a register, and using Apple Pay worked perfectly and fast. I got the mocha, and it was exceptionally delicious. The service and price were great too. I will definitely be going again sometime soon! read more

We happened on to this place, not by accident, although we didn't realize we would find a great coffee shop with a great menu. Twenty-five years ago, our family stayed in the small motel that was located here. The deck in the front is covering the swimming pool where our youngest learned to swim. Coffee sounded good, so we went in, shared our story, and drank some of the best coffee ever! The sweet girl that served us was so patient! She even offered to take our picture standing on the deck (pool). Quaint, comfortable, quiet. . . worth the drive from Branson. read more

Yay for a chai in the middle of nowhere! These guys went out of their way to help :) Almond milk too!

Very cute and unique coffee shop off the beaten path. Walked in and felt like we were home. As out of town people we are always skeptical of getting coffee some place but this little shop has the best coffee. Totally worth taking the path less traveled by and we even went back the following day. Would give a 10/10 on the coffee, from the flavor, to the choices and names they come up with for the coffee. Highly recommend read more

Such an enjoyable experience! Great coffee, atmosphere and food! The owners are wonderful. It's what an coffee place should aspire to be!

Great coffee, very tasty breakfast and pastries. Friendly, quick service; also loved their "prayer board", great idea!

A great little coffee shop, full of flavor, too include a few sweet bites. Coffee is smoking hot and ice coffee is perfectly chilled for a hot day. Well priced, won't break the bank. 12 plus seating inside, with wifi. 12 plus seating outside. Very clean and very cool in it's style; outside is very sweet. The servers are very accommodating and aim to please. Restroom, too! Road tripping or fishing, don't miss this gem! read more

My favorite coffee shop that I have ever been to. As a college student it is always hard to find good coffee shops that are quiet with a great atmosphere to study in. White River Coffee is both of those things. I love the coffee, pastries, and sandwiches that are all made fresh in house. The staff is always friendly and you can always tell they love what they do. I highly recommend this shop! read more
