Great coffee stop owned by great people
Architect Coffee Company | Springfield, MO
This tiny coffee drive thru exists among the giants but is by far my favorite! The macaroon is my go-to drink every single time. Also, great people!
Dark Stone Coffee
Another north side favorite if you’re looking for indoor seating.
Echelon Coffee
I love what Lovecraft Farms is all about! They started a journey for healthier options and a life-changing story emerged. Check them out for home-brewed kombucha and healthier coffee options.

Though they’ve expanded into other states, Andy’s started right here in Springfield MO and remains #1️⃣ for frozen custard.
Andy's Frozen Custard Springfield, MO Store Location
Known for its dancing hula girl, pineapple whip is Springfields favorite summer frozen treat. The anticipation for summer opening is mounting! 🍦
Pineapple Whip
Literally a steak on a bun…at least that’s what I order. The young Philly is a 1/4 lb beef patty on top of a beef fillet and peppers and onions. My mouth is watering just thinking about it 🤤
Black Sheep Burgers and Shakes
A fine-dining experience! The best steak in town…melt in your mouth filet mignon and prime rib 🥩
Jimm's Steakhouse & Pub
My birthday spot every year! This gem is found downtown so has a fun atmosphere. The bread and olive oil appetizer is enough to lure me in! 🍝
Nonna's Restaurant | Nonna's Italian
Street 🌮 tacos rice and beans. I’m sure everything else is good too but their carne asada is amazing!
Best Mexican Food | Cesar's Old Mexico
Housed in an old gas station, this place has tons of character and delicious pasta! They keep their menu simple and priced just right. Pasta fagioli is my fav
