    It's so true
    Julie M.

    Happened upon this place during a search for nearby coffee. I really liked this place! The interior is nicely arranged, with very cool furniture and art. Service was prompt and pleasant. I ordered an iced latte and a veggie grilled cheese (veggie sausage, egg patty, avocado, feta, tomato and red onion on naan). The salad was an odd option at 8am, but since you need your daily roughage I ate it without complaint. The sandwich was WONDERFUL and I am definitely ordering this again if I ever find myself in the area. I was so surprised at how cute this was and so glad I found it.

    I would have liked more than one sugar in my coffee

    I didn't get to order. Why? Because i ordered the Smoked Turkey Benny and they tell me they are out of smoked turkey, but I can substitute...ask for steak...nope...out of that too. Server suggests bacon. I remind her that my original order placed contained a side of bacon. "Oh, yeah..." The staff was pleasant. The staff was apologetic. I'm still hungry. I ordered a drip coffee paid and left. Boone's is practically across the street. Coffee was incipid. This establishment might have the best grub in Springfield but they weren't prepared to prove it. I doubt I will ever return.

    Iced Latte --- forget which one. It was delicious

    Really enjoyed this breakfast spot! Menu is pretty simple but they can do a lot of different things. I was in Springfield for only the weekend, and we stopped in here twice. It's located in Vinegar Hill Mall, which is a cool complex about a 7 minute walk from the State Capitol and the heart of downtown. The iced latte was sublime and the breakfast biscuit I ordered was phenomenal and exactly what I needed to start our Friday. The following day, we returned on our way to the State Fair. My wife has a gluten allergy, so she wanted to get something good before being surrounded by the fair's gluten-filled offerings. She really enjoyed her egg sandwich which was filling, and I got a smoothie to hold me over. It was perfect. The atmosphere in the coffee shop is very relaxing, and the people working there were very kind and patient with our orders. Whether you live in Springfield or are just visiting, this is a great place to get your morning going.

    Very nice cafe. Quick and friendly service. I absolutely loved the soup. My sandwich was good as well. I was not a fan of the "side green salad". It would be nice if another option was available to accompany the sandwich.

    Beautiful place! Friendly staff! Okay food (grilled cheese wasn't grilled and cheese wasn't even melted). Coffee was average.

    After stopping by the Abraham Lincoln House and library, we came across this microbrewery and had…read moreto go in! They also have a cidery, but it wasn't open during this season. Thankfully we still were able to get one cider, and they had a selection of other beers. The cider was tart and refreshing, and I really like the berry mocktail, which had ginger beer, and a mix of berries in it. As for food, the Nashville hot chicken sandwich came with a lot of heat which was great. I got the dry rub version, which is spicer than the saucy version. The horseshoe sandwich is a local favorite, which is an open faced sandwich with sliced bread topped with meat (we got the angus beef), fries, and cheese sauce. It was quite heavy and creamy because of all the sauce. Overall we enjoyed our meal and our server was very friendly, although service was on the slower side.

    We came here on a Sunday before a matinee at the Hoogland -- full of hope, hungry, and maybe a…read morelittle too optimistic. The building is beautiful, the location is perfect, and we thought, "Hey, maybe those bad reviews were just people having a bad day." Spoiler alert: they were not. Service started strong. We were seated right away, and they even brought coloring pages for our kids -- a nice touch that gave us false hope. Then the food arrived, and it was like watching a plot twist in a bad movie. I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Pony Shoe. It came out looking like someone microwaved a bag of frozen chicken tenders and tossed them in buffalo sauce for moral support. The cheese sauce might have been homemade -- it was grainy enough to make me believe someone whisked it themselves -- but there was barely any. Also, who hides the cheese under the fries? That's the star of the show! I had to beg for more, and even then it arrived lukewarm, much like my excitement for the meal. My wife ordered the Pork Schnitzel with "spaetzle." Except it wasn't schnitzel; it was a pork cutlet that had clearly seen the inside of a freezer longer than most people's leftovers. And the "spaetzle"? Nope. Straight-up spaghetti noodles. The mushroom sauce tasted like it came straight from a can labeled Cream of Disappointment. Two of the kids got cheese pizza -- or as I like to call it, "Frozen Circle of Regret." My son's "chips" were somehow both soggy and chewy, a texture I didn't even know existed. Frying them until they're crunchy shouldn't be rocket science, but here we are. Everything was bland, flavorless, and missing any sign of seasoning. The best dish of the entire meal? My daughter's burger on her Pony Shoe -- mostly because it resembled real food. And just to add a little flair, nearly every plate was dusted with dried parsley. Because, of course, nothing says fine dining like sprinkling dried parsley on frozen food. This place has serious potential -- it's got the space, the charm, and the perfect downtown vibe. But if your secret ingredient is "frozen," no amount of parsley is going to save you.
