    We have been coming here for a while now. Ordered a frappe this time. It consisted of sweetened condensed milk, espresso beans and chocolate chips. It is amazing! Not too sweet, just right. We have had their breakfast sandwiches & pastries as well & they are all delicious. Today we had the chicken salad on croissant bread. Delicious! The young man that helped us was very nice, friendly & attentive. We always try to pick up some amazing coffee & a quick bite to eat when we are in the neighborhood. I also appreciate their clean restrooms.

    Great coffee and service! Tried two of their summer flavors: iced cherry blossom latte (oat milk) and churro frappe (decaf). Cherry blossom latte has a very light but great flavor. Subbed oat milk as they were out of 2% but the flavor still came through. Not too sweet which is my preference. My husband enjoyed his churro frappe - made it decaf for health reasons but still had a great flavor of cinnamon and milk. Great space for working - lots of low tables, low volume chill music, and space to sit on the first and second floor. We were on vacation visiting family and are so glad we stopped by this coffee shop on our way out. Show this community coffee shop some love! Stop by for a coffee, stay for the atmosphere.

    I love this cozy, quaint, sweet little coffee shop in downtown Springfield! My son and I stopped in late Saturday morning and expected it to be busy but we were the only customers there. The staff was kind, the menu is perfect for a quick bite or sip, and they even have a few local items for sale (I bought a hat!). I enjoyed the ginger herbal tea (they had a handful of hot teas to choose from). Such a convenient location! The inside was so clean and the restrooms were, also. I'll be back asap!

    Food and pastries are all really good. I recommend everything on the menu. Right now they have on ther winter menu the crème brûlée latte superb!!!! The owner is super sweet and so are her employees.

    When my boyfriend and I started dating, he would send me coffee from Historic Perk to the hospital while I was working. Fast forward 3 years and we got engaged at Historic Perk. It was a beautiful surprise party. The staff and owners are so friendly and kind. We even got married upstairs. Not only is the coffee amazing, the atmosphere holds a special place in my heart. I HIGHLY recommend stopping by this gem!

    I had heard such good things about this spot! So glad I was in the area on such a beautiful Saturday! Looks like a perfect place to grab a drink with a friend or work on a project or anything in between! There was a downtown sidewalk sale so I got my coffee to go! I went with the recommendation of their best seller the Cuban!! Very tasty! The biscotti and other pastries looked mouth watering! Will definitely be back!

    I generally like Starbucks. However, Starbucks cafes in supermarkets seem to suffer, and I have…read morebeen down this road before. The Starbucks in Kroger in Springfield is brand new. Yet, it's already grubby. The signs above the work area are dirty, one is ripped, and one is stained and buckled from water. The floor is a mess. I went to order a small latte. The girl was making a smoothie looking thing for another customer. If she had been going any slower, I would have called 911. There was another man mopping the floor in the cafe where, it appeared, someone had dropped a coffee. The girl serving did not acknowledge my presence and took several minutes to make the smoothie. A line developed behind me. When she eventually served me, there was no apology for the delay. So, I ordered my coffee and walked away to await its arrival. The girl seems to have abandoned the manufacturing side of things and spent the next few minutes taking orders. I was about ready to give up and ask for a refund. But, at that same time, Joe Mop put his mop into a bucket, leaned it against a table, went into the serving area, and, shortly thereafter began to fill orders. He needed to ask me what I had ordered. I told him. He made a game attempt at making it...but, sadly he failed...miserably! The coffee was terrible. And, the one thing you can't afford to do when you have a coffee shop, is to make crap coffee. I have been to one other Kroger based Starbucks and it was equally awful. I like Starbucks stand-alone cafes, but their cafes in supermarkets are staffed by people who seem to lack training, have little regard for the brand, have no real understanding of hygiene, and little in the way of manners and service. Starbucks...protect your brand. Either train these people to address the above complaints, or shut the damned supermarket cafes down. It will protect you in the long run.

    They closed way early, if you can't handle a 8 hour shift then you can't handle a simple job to be…read morehonest. Why do you work if you want to close early. It says they close at 8 and they closed at 7
