The European is always a favorite of mine! Everything I have ever had from them is so good. They always have a fun seasonal drink menu which is typically what I order from. Their sourdough toast is SO GOOD. I recently tried their macarons as well which were delicious and the perfect texture. Cute open airy vibe inside with lots of plants, service is always good, and you can't go wrong with any of their food/drink. They do get pretty busy on the weekend, so prepare for a longer wait in line. Overall, fantastic place. Highly recommend! read more

European Excellence - what a gem of a spot in Springfield! Some of the best breakfast food I've had and served fresh and quick. Beautifully delicious lattes and friendly service. In town for business a lot in Springfield and this is on the regular rotation and in walking distance from a lot of bustling areas. Great space with live plants, natural light and tables to hangout, work or chat with friends. read more

Stopped in to get a couple sweet treats. It wasn't busy when I went, which was around 1330. Employees were polite and accommodating. It was nice and bright from outside lighting, very pleasant. The desserts were delicious. The croissants were the best I've had, flakey, buttery, perfect. read more

Delicious pastries! Perfect for Easter. We can't wait to visit again and try the desserts.

Finally found a place with good pastries! Having been in Europe, it's really hard to find something in the US that is good. I've been here numerous times and desserts are outstanding. Good place for studying. Service is friendly. read more

The European - Vanilla Latte - Bakeries Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

I ordered the chocolate malted latte with a chocolate croissant. I was greatly disappointed to have it served as a cold beverage. I had hoped to have a hot beverage to compliment my pastry. When I shared my displeasure with the cashier there no acceptance of the lack of disclosure that it was a cold beverage. She simply said that most of their beverages were hot or cold. read more

The desserts here are incredible, and very creative. I would visit again for that reason alone!

An unassuming little coffee shop with very friendly, young staff. It's my favorite in the area, I just wish I didn't come when they were cleaning up in the afternoon. But the coffee and cake were nice. I recommend the caramel brûlée latte (5/5) and the Dulce de Leche Latte (5/5). The chocolate malted latte was meh (2/5). The chocolate mousse, and the tiramisu were very good (5/5) . The Chai Opera cake was dry (2.5/5) but the Mocha opera cake was much better (4/5). The caramel chocolate eclair was interesting, but not a must have (3/5). I wasn't a huge fan of the Ferrero Rocher cake (2/5) either, but everything was fresh. Everything is homemade. It's nice for a date or taking a friend into town, but too expensive to go regularly. It was $15 for one cake and a 12 oz latte. read more

Gourmet Coffee and a variety of pastries and the service and atmosphere is good. Great place to meet friends and enjoy a cup of coffee and dessert! read more

The staff was very friendly and helpful- answering any questions we had and recommending different items. The chocolate malted latte was absolutely amazing, the espresso was smooth, it wasn't too sweet, and the malt was subtle. The macaroons were to die for and each one was a different trip and experience of various flavors for the palate! The atmosphere was welcoming, clean, and cozy. Tucked away in a historic downtown area. Worth the walk if you can't find a place to park! We definitely will be back and we can't recommend this place enough! read more

Phenomenal. Delicious. Flavorful. Amazing. My friend and I popped in for some tea. Unfortunately they did not have plain herbal teas (like a Chamomile or Peppermint). I decided to try the Italian Soda, desert pear and am so glad I did! It was one of the best flavored Italian Sodas I've ever had! 5/5 The crème brûlée was also phenomenal. Great vanilla bean flavor, perfect consistency on a crunchy caramel crust. The perfect juxtaposition of flavors. Superb. 5/5 The vibe was calm and classy, yet casual. Typical of your typical cafes, but in the best way possible. Service was good. There were a few items that I was wanting to try, but they had sold out for the day. At least that means that everything is fresh! I highly recommend you try European Cafe if you like cafes with baked goods and quick drinks. It is amazing! read more

Greeted by sweet, courteous service. From the entrance off of downtown square until coffee ready for pickup at counter, a charming and welcomed passing. Latte was made to belly-warming perfection and delighted they had a few dairy-alternatives to select from. They had a horchata latte special, but were out because they make their rice milk in house! (No vegan friendly bites or treats here, but not advertised that they do.) read more

I'm not sure what downtown Springfield did to deserve this gem, but I'm here for it. I have been stopping here every time I'm in Springfield, since 2020. This is my favorite bakery in Springfield because they have so many options for European treats that are all baked in house. The cases are always stocked with cakes, cookies and more. I love that some cookies are bite sized and dainty. My favorite thing to do is get a mixed box of cookies and let my kids try a variety of flavors. The Italian wedding cookie is always a hit. For drinks, I have tried the matcha, blueberry lavender lemonade, and chocolate malted latte. All are delicious, the ambiance is peaceful, and the charm is undeniable. Don't miss this spot and try something new each time! read more

We have had 3 trips to the cafe and all were satisfactory. Twice for desserts before a movie. Service was friendly and efficient. Coffee was especially good and apple desserts have we think real sliced and cooked apples. In a flaky crust. The other desserts are quite pricey so we have not sampled them. They have a nice lower priced selection though. ( not saying they aren't good or worth the price but 8-9.00 for specialty tarts etc is more than we care to pay). Breakfast food was great and priced about the same as any other fancy place in town. Atmosphere is nice and new corner location affords for some people watching on the square as well as a patio during nice weather. One of our new favored places. The current staff has been delightful and friendly on our visits. read more

Such a wonderful cafe, it's so relaxing, their music choice was lovely; made it so pleasant. There's lots of pastries to choose from. We had mini desserts since we had just had dinner but next time I'm stopping there first for a dessert before dinner, why not haha. I enjoyed their vanilla latte, so creamy, tasty and the right temperature, delicious! I had a wonderful evening with my daughters, I also liked how friendly the staff is and the cleanliness of the cafe. Don't miss out, stop by. read more

Seriously the best breakfast and pastries in Springfield!!! Owners are AMAZING! Staff is fantastic, building is clean and really neat

Gorgeous and delicious! The iced horchata latte was my favorite: the espresso here is perfect. Also loved the ricotta lemon pound cake -- even more than the hazelnut mousse Ferraro Rocher cake!

Not as great as they would imagine they are. I bought a slice of Mocha Opera cake. Although it looked good, it was nothing to get excited over and cost a small fortune, $7.50 (over $8 with tax). The wait time was also extremely slow. read more

I can't have the baked goods, which look amazing, but their french press coffee is amazing and the staff is awesome. My husband make sure to go to European Cafe every time we are downtown. Excellent experience and my husband says the bakery items are wonderful as well. read more

Some of the best macarons I've tried! The staff was super nice as well. Some of the pastries were a bit overpriced, though. We also had someone in front of us in line purchase tons of pastries and bought all of the ones that we wanted to try, although they can't do much to prevent that. The Apple streusel was very messy and flakey and, while I enjoyed it, it wasn't worth it for the amount of mess it made. They also don't have many drink options apart from coffee and tea (some cold/iced/frozen drinks would've been appreciated!) I didn't necessarily have a bad experience here, but there are just other locations downtown that I'd prefer to visit with a larger menu and better atmosphere. I will still recommend their macarons to anyone who asks, though! read more

The European - Strawberry and candy cane macarons - Bakeries Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

I am a flight attendant who loves food. Let me tell you, this place is a gem. Definitely worth it I have tried almost everything in their dessert menu and 2 drinks within my two trips and here's what I found. Food- aesthetically pleasing. The food tastes as good as it looks. On my two occasions I have gone here, all of the food stayed consistent. The cakes are the star because of how yummy it looks but the macaroons are to die for. I have tried many bakeries since I love sweets and this is one of the best macaroons I have tried. The drinks isn't dissappointing either. Even the weird combinations such as lavender and blueberry work together in perfect harmony on my tongue. Definitely recommend their food. Inside the place: It's a mix between cozy and fancy which I like. I have seen people hangout with friends. They have chess that you can play which is always a plus. You can also take aesthetic pictures here with your food on Instagram. For my more practical people, it's a good place to chill. Even if many people hang out here. It's still a quiet place. If I lived near here, I would be at this bakery a lot. Service: The service is pretty inconsistent. The first time, I had a good server, the second time was alright. Most of the time they are really welcoming and nice though. read more

Horrible service period. The desserts that are most popular are always out (we came at 11am) & when we asked they let us know that what they have out is it for now but they will be restocking at 2-3pm. So we came back around 3:45pm & yet again the passion fruit dessert was out. Upon asking the gal said whatever is in the case is what they have. When we let them know we live 35minutes away & tried calling twice before coming in but the phone just kept running with no answer -- all of a sudden the gal said one second let me ask. Comes back to let us know they will be restocking the case in about 15-20 minutes if we'd like to wait. We again waited... & magically within 5 minutes 5-6 passion fruit desserts appeared in the case. Nothing else got restocked. When people are willing to pay $7.50 for a single dessert & you just keep them out back? Why? For what? For your next "restock"? This was our fourth time back in the last year & every time we think maybe it's just that one person who isn't nice but it can't be a coincidence that it's such bad customer service every time we've come in. read more
