I consider myself a coffee enthusiast. I've been ordering my beans from various roasters nationwide…read morefor the last 7 years and I'm very particular about my beans(I know, I sound so douchey, but bear with me). I recently ran out of beans and came across Flora Roasting. Honestly, Springfield Illinois has little to offer in the way of specialty...anything. And what little shops they have, they're awful. So, it was a pleasant surprise when I received a bag of their Ethiopian coffee and it was actually delicious. Finally, I found a company worth recommending here.

So when you pay 8 bucks for a yogurt parfait, they probably aren't spending that much on yogurt for 30 tubs. Also their "homemade cakes" they're a box mix so same situation.

This was my first time trying out Kickabrew Coffee so I didn't know what to expect when I went inside. We had been outside for a while so I was looking forward to trying out a nice hot coffee! I got the white chocolate coffee and my husband got a hot cocoa. While we waited for our drinks we took a look around the coffee shop and I have to say, it's quite charming! I was not expecting the back room at all, not to mention all of the seating and the log cabin look that it had to offer either. It felt like the seating options were endless including couches and designer chairs. There's even an upstairs loft as well which is a great place to hang out with friends! It's so cute! A few moments later, they called out our drinks from the side window, it's located in the hallway leading to that cute log cabin looking back room. I think more places should have a side window by the way. It was nice to be able to step aside and not be in the way while other people are ordering. There were lots of people coming in and out so I think it's a popular spot in town, I don't blame them! Time to try out our drinks! They were great and we warmed right up! I would definitely go out of my way to come back and try this shop out again. I'd like a little more time to look at the menu and see what else they have to offer. I hear they have some yummy snacks so I'll have to try one of those next time! To the owner: great job on your coffee shop! It's super charming and I love it!

They offer flights, hand made syrups, and plenty of milk and sweetener options. Even their batch brew is Chemex and never actually batch. Periodically, they have special releases, like mead barrel aged coffee or specialty micro lots and innovative processing styles. It's the only shop I know which carries cascara (tea made from coffee cherries). They have excellent baked food from Mr Meowski's, if that's your jam. All coffee is light roasted. There are no exceptions.
