    Avocado Toast and sugar free Vanilla Latte
    Colleen C.

    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.

    Passion fruit Cheesecake
    Rae F.

    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.

    EVERYTHING is not only pleasing to the eye, but also the palate!  We love The European!!

    Everytime we visit we are blown away by the beautiful patisseries available. + they have a large assortment of gluten free delicacies.

    Cacio e Pepe Eggs
    Natalie K.

    Every time I am in Springfield, I always get coffee and breakfast at European Cafe. The service is friendly! The seasonal coffees and beverages are always delish! And I always have to order the Cacio e Pepe egg scramble. It is deliciously rich and cheesy, not to mention the side of sourdough toast and honey butter. To die for!

    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.

    Absolutely incredible coffee, comfy and cozy atmosphere, along with that downtown feel. Service is fast and the desserts are splendid. A café doing it right!

    Caramel Brûlée latte with crust
    Violet S.

    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.

    Chocolate Malted Latte
    Elizabeth B.

    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!

    Half of a crème brûlée. The pic doesn't do it justice!

    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!

    D-Freakng-licious! Wow , that crème brûlée latter is unmatched! What a cool environment too! Next time I'm leaving room for some pastries!

    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.)

The Boston Creme pie was scrumptious! with a dark chocolate generously drizzled on top. The potato salad was the best I've ever tasted. The amazing decorations including the multitude of chandeliers & brilliant color schemes must be seen to be believed. Negative: Server would disappear for 15 or 20 minutes after bringing water; then disappear for another 15 minutes after bringing coffee; ditto for serving the meal which arrived one hour & 15 minutes after we sat down at our table at 11 am; same for dessert--it took 20 minutes after we finished the main course for the server to return & bring our checks. We only had six people in our own fabulous pink room. There were only 5 or 6 people out front so why did it take 3 hours to be served our lunch & to leave from the time we arrived at 11 am & didn't get to leave until 1:30 pm. Three hours to get our meal & eat was an incredibly long period of time. It was freezing in there--the room temperature was zero.

    Echelon Coffee is a really solid coffee spot that clearly takes what they do seriously…read more The coffee is excellent, and if you go on the weekend, the biscuits and gravy are absolutely worth it. It feels like there's a lot of care behind everything they serve. It also has that feel of a well-run, possibly family-driven operation -- like everyone involved knows their role and executes it well. The vibe is good, the space is inviting, and it's just an enjoyable place to spend some time. Pricing is a bit on the higher side -- more of a "treat yourself" stop than an everyday routine -- but the quality backs it up. Definitely worth a visit, especially if you appreciate good coffee.

    I've visited this location a handful of times the last couple years. The coffee is good, the food…read moreis good. Service is okay usually, but I came through the drive through around 7 AM on Friday, 2/6 and was very disappointed. I was the only vehicle in the drive through from start to finish. I ordered the açaí bowl, and pulled to the window as directed. I waited a good 7-8 minutes, then the employee opened the window with the card reader and gave me the total. No "hi, hello, good morning," just the total. I waited a few more minutes and then the same employee opened the window and handed out my food without a word. I thanked him for the food and he just closed the window. The customer service was completely absent from the transaction. I don't expect a full conversation, but a simple greeting at the window or "you're welcome" when I got my food would have been nice. I also thought the (at least) 10-minute wait for an almost $14 after tax açaí bowl was a bit much, but I usually don't mind if the food and service is adequate. Not sure if the employees were just having a rough day, but the experience was disappointing at best and at 7 AM it has the potential to set the tone for the rest of a customer's day. Note - picture is after I mixed the bowl. It looks prettier when you first get it, and is more satisfying when you walk away with a better experience.
