It's been a while since I last had Cafe Moxo. Probably a few years prior to the unfortunate fire that caused them to shift to a new location. However, I came back to Springfield for a visit and gave them a try - and it was absolutely worth the wait. I had their Fall Over soup -- chicken stock, homemade sausage, sweet potato and pear. Even my 3-year-old said it was one of her favorite soups she's ever had! I also tried the Aloha sandwich - toasted pretzel roll, Korean BBQ pulled pork, pineapple chutney, mixed greens, and tomatoes. Both of these sweet and savory dishes were incredible, and I'll likely stop by for lunch again before we head home next week. Aside from the food, this new location has much more space and brings a new energy with it. Many of us have nostalgia for the former location, but I like this one as well. I definitely recommend you to check it out! read more

We were so pleasantly surprised how well this restaurant responded when I asked for a quiet place to host a group of colleagues! I had heard the food was terrific and several friends wear hearing aids so we were invited to meet and eat in the little back room for our lunch. The room happened to be open and it was so great for everyone to be able to talk and hear each other! Of course everyone was really happy with the food and service too! Stop by here for lunch or call ahead and reserve the back room for a gathering. read more

Today is my second visit and I just barely made the 10:30am breakfast cutoff. The owner or manager was kind enough to let me order breakfast. I got a made to order breakfast burrito with eggs and cheese. Was pleased to see it came with white flavorful cheese sauce mmmm. It had black beans and corn inside as well. A very generous and tasty portion. The nice touch was the side of fresh seasonal berries. My first visit here I missed breakfast but I got the Heather Feather plant-based burger which is amazing. This is a clean, pleasant cafe with very friendly staff. A nice place for a quick bite and some good iced tea. read more

I gotta say I love Cafe Moxo's new location. Much easier parking and so much more space. At first, the ordering was a bit confusing. We had to order our food with one woman at the counter and then order with someone else separately for coffee. The silverware and water needed refilled, but this was probably just because it was lunch time on a busy Saturday afternoon. The inside was freezing but possibly could have been avoided if we sat somewhere else. I had the combo with the chicken noodle soup and club sandwich which was absolutely incredible. The soup was so hearty and the sandwich was so full. They do NOT skimp on the ingredients. I tried the iced brown sugar latte and the cold foam really took it up a notch read more

The roast beef au jus disapppointed. The meat was horrible while everyone else was happy my food was chewy and grisly gross

This place is delicious!!! The fall over soup is to die for. I can't even remember what sandwich I got (I just know it was one of the few without bacon) but it was great. Yum! read more

Who doesn't love a good breakfast spot?? This place is definitely a gem. You place your order at the counter and find a place to sit. The vibe is kind of a hip Friend's coffee house. The team is very helpful and friendly. We went with biscuits and gravy which were house made. The Sunshine sandwich had a lot to offer in a breakfast sandwich. Our favorite was the breakfast burrito with carnitas. We left the eggs out and still made for a very hearty meal. The pork was Smokey and juicy. The cheese sauce rounded out a very nice dish. I was told they were voted best cookie in Springfield. Of course that prompted us to purchase additional baked goods to take with us. The oatmeal cookie is fantastic!! We also had a French toast muffin and a giant cereal treat bar. We were not let down by any of our choices. There is a decent Coffee menu, but we didn't try anything on the menu. Definitely a place worth checking out when you're in the area. read more

We ate three meals here over the course of two days - 2 breakfasts, one lunch. Cafe Moxo was highly recommended by locals so we went. Avocado Toast (twice): their avocado toast was very good. It is served on toasted break (there is a gluten free option). It is covered with bruschetta and a few other toppings. I found it to be quite good. Chicken Salad Sandwich: Their portion was generous. There was a lot of chicken, and it was dense/heavy. One comment was it was dry. While I don't like a lot of mayo, it could have used more or something that made it less dry. Coffee: While I wouldn't say their coffee is as good as some of the boutique coffee shops, it wasn't bad at all. So I agree with those who sand Cafe Moxo's praises and I do recommend. read more

While an unexpected family emergency brought me to SPI this week, my mom and I have been spending 12 hour days at the hospital and doing no cooking. We're happily letting the fantastic local restaurants around town do that for us. Today we went to Cafe Moxo. Mom has been here a ton but this was my first time. We both got their combo. For $12.50 you can pick any two: soup, salad, a half a sandwich, or Mac N cheese. The combo also comes with a cookie. I went with half Sammy and salad; the Shawnee and the Southwest Cobb Salad. The sandwich was on fresh wheat roll, ham, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, and their honey Dijon. For their cookie I selected the Bre' Ann. It had everything in it and was baked fresh, soft and delicious. The sandwich has all the things I like and was fresh and yummy. The salad as you can tell from the photo was loaded with all the great stuff you're looking for in a southwest Cobb salad: romaine. chicken. bacon. diced egg. tomato. carrots, shredded cheddar, tortilla strips, chipotle vinaigrette. The homemade chipotle vinaigrette was a first for me and it was delicious! I still have half of the salad left and will enjoy the rest again tomorrow! The picture of their dogs that are behind the name of the restaurant added even more love behind supporting local and this great cafe in downtown SPI. read more

Second time coming here, and it just keeps getting better! As usual the customer service is A1! Great ya when you walk in! Always courteous! "We'll substitute anything!" Awesome answer I received today! I went with the Highly Recommend, What They Are Known For" Chicken Pot Pie! Trust me when I tell you I was not disappointed! Scrumptious is a great word to describe it. (Also amazing, comforting, delicious). I had the Huck Finn sandwich last time, so you can't go wrong. Great place! read more

Got the individual chicken pot pie, the Tully sandwich and the deviled egg there for lunch. The chicken pot pie was really a hit. Super flavorful and filling! There was chicken, potato gravy, peas, green beans, corns and carrots inside. The serving size was also just right. It was my first time to have deviled egg and it was interesting. Basically the egg yolk was substituted with tomatoes and bruschetta. The Tully sandwich is in fact a grilled cheese sandwich. They put a HUGE amount of cheese between the bread. The only thing disappointed me a bit was service. The staff forgot my request for no sauce for the sandwich. read more

In town again on business, so I headed over to Cafe Moxo for a quick breakfast. I am sad to say, this time I was disappointed, so I had to take a star away from their rating. Let's start out with a couple positives. The Bacon Cheddar Biscuit and the Everything Biscuit were delicious and had a pleasing texture. To some, they may look more like a scone, but they're truly a tasty biscuit. Secondly, the associate taking my order was pleasant and polite. Now the reasons I took a star away. I was excited to return and try their Cheddar Bacon Biscuits with Gravy, but I did not expect to be so disappointed. As I stated earlier, the biscuit was good. However, the gravy was served cold and I do mean cold. It wasn't even lukewarm, it was cold. The gravy had a decent amount of sausage chunks, but there was no seasoning. I was glad that it wasn't overly salty, but I had to sprinkle several packets of pepper on it, to get any type of flavoring. To accompany my B&G, I went full carb and added their Aged White Cheddar Hashbrowns Casserole. Good flavor, but it too was served cold. I am sure the flavors would have been more pronounced if it were served warm. Lastly, as I was getting rung out the young lady stopped and went to fill the lid dispenser for the to-go cups lids. She rang me out and when I told her I wanted an Iced House Coffee, is when she got sidetracked doing her side work. She got my coffee, sat it down and told me she'd be right back. She then proceeded to fill the dispenser. With me and others waiting in line to check-out, I just thought it was odd and kind of unprofessional to stop and do that task at that time. I haven't written them off. I am confident when I come back on my next trip to Springfield and try their Chicken Pot Pie, I will be raising them back up.

Cafe Moxo is conveniently located in downtown Springfield not too far from the Capitol building. I had a chance to visit Cafe Moxo during my recent visit after walking past it a few times on my trip. I throughly enjoyed Cafe Moxo. Moxo utilizes a buzzer system if you dine in. Once you place your order they will give you a buzzer and you just sit it inside the designated buzzer square on your table and the waiter will bring your food. During my visit the process was pretty simple. I ordered the Moxo Cristo and it was unbelievably delicious. I was in shock that it is was good because the breakfast burrito I was able to try was not that great. The burrito was flavorless and the sauce they put on it was really runny. But the Moxo Cristo was so flavorful. I opted to leave the house cranberry cream cheese off my sandwich as well as the powdered sugar and it was so good. It was still a nice mix of sweet with the syrup without overdoing it. I highly recommend ordering the Moxo Cristo! I also was able to try one of the chocolate chip cookies and it was very good. read more

Cafe Moxo a Springfield gem hidden downtown one block west of the Capitol square. I don't even know what to say about this place, except that they have a unique menu and all the food is D-licious. I eat here often for lunch and sometimes breakfast. Some of my favorites include, the oatmeal with the nuts and dried fruits, the cheese biscuit, of course, the Chicken pot pie, and the Brianne cookie. I didn't list any soups, sandwiches or salads, not because I haven't had any or none are my favorite but I actually can't decide which sandwich is the best and the same for the soup and the salads. Really and truly, you can't go wrong at Moxo. I love this place and the line to the door is a tell-tale that I'm not the only one. read more

I missed this place! Always have great food and service was excellent! Great location and ambiance.

I wish I would have taken more photos of our meal but alas I only remembered one bite into my sandwich. This place was jam packed (albeit on a Saturday mid-morning with lots going on downtown) but the wait was relatively smooth. Fully staffed, friendly and great food is a rarity anymore so my wife and I were thrilled with the cafe. I would easily return but only if I was already downtown as Moxo is a bit out of the way for us and everyone knows how miserable downtown parking is in any city - Springfield is better than most but not amazing! read more

I really enjoyed my oven baked Turkey sandwich. I thought the flavor was right on. My boyfriend thought his chicken sandwich with pickles was just "ok". I liked the option of the boxed lunch, came with choices for sides like cookie, chips, fruit cup. The snickerdoodle cookie I choose was like an old fashioned bakery. Very tasty! read more

What a lovely twist on lunch. Convenient downtown location. Clean well-designed interior with great color and logo motif. Super friendly and helpful staff. Menu items are some of your regular sandwiches and salads but with interesting and tempting twists. Lots of Vegan, Vegetarian, Paleo options, in addition to that zest of something different. Cafe Moxo seems to really care about flavor and food match-ups. Prices are very reasonable for quality fare. Mmmmmm read more

Stopped in here with a group of folks around lunchtime. I really wanted breakfast though, so I ordered the breakfast burrito. It was DELISH and my one complaint is that it was much food (?!?!?!). The problem is when the food is good, and the serving is too big, I end up hurting myself. It would have been perfect to share with hubby, but he wasn't in a breakfast mood. The coffee was excellent. Because the weather was nice, we sat out front, which made the meal even better. read more

I visited the Café for the 2nd time last week during my visit to Springfield. A few months ago when I stopped by, I enjoyed a hearty lunch. The tuna salad sandwich is excellent and the selection of homemade cookies are amazing. This week I stopped in for breakfast and I really enjoyed my breakfast burrito. Of course, I had to get another peanut butter cookie. I thought would save it for after lunch, but I couldn't wait. I had to eat it immediately after breakfast. Michael, I'm assuming he was the manger, was very helpful in suggesting ingredients to add to my burrito since I'm a pescatarian. He was very friendly and energetic. My coworker also enjoyed her breakfast. I can't wait to return. read more

I came to cafe moxo several years ago and enjoyed whatever I had. My experience this time was not as positive as what I remembered. I ordered a bowl of oatmeal and a chai latte with a shot of expresso. Both were extremely sweet. I did ask for brown sugar and raisins as toppings for my oatmeal but I must not have paid attention to how much was added. For me, much of it was inedible because it was way too sweet. My friend had baked eggs with a biscuit. He said that it would have been pretty good if it were hot, but unfortunately it was not. Because I have had better experiences in the past, I might give cafe moxo one more try if I'm in Springfield again. read more
