    Dry oatmeal

    Ambiance is great. Coffee is as expected. Food, and food handling is lacking. Was served dry oatmeal, and the barista handled pastries with bare hand after touching all sorts of things. They have moved booth seating from their main seating area to the mall hall area and replaced it with uncomfortable high tops. They no longer serve lotus drinks and lack options for those with dietary restrictions.

    I would have liked more than one sugar in my coffee

    I didn't get to order. Why? Because i ordered the Smoked Turkey Benny and they tell me they are out of smoked turkey, but I can substitute...ask for steak...nope...out of that too. Server suggests bacon. I remind her that my original order placed contained a side of bacon. "Oh, yeah..." The staff was pleasant. The staff was apologetic. I'm still hungry. I ordered a drip coffee paid and left. Boone's is practically across the street. Coffee was incipid. This establishment might have the best grub in Springfield but they weren't prepared to prove it. I doubt I will ever return.

    Iced Latte --- forget which one. It was delicious

    Really enjoyed this breakfast spot! Menu is pretty simple but they can do a lot of different things. I was in Springfield for only the weekend, and we stopped in here twice. It's located in Vinegar Hill Mall, which is a cool complex about a 7 minute walk from the State Capitol and the heart of downtown. The iced latte was sublime and the breakfast biscuit I ordered was phenomenal and exactly what I needed to start our Friday. The following day, we returned on our way to the State Fair. My wife has a gluten allergy, so she wanted to get something good before being surrounded by the fair's gluten-filled offerings. She really enjoyed her egg sandwich which was filling, and I got a smoothie to hold me over. It was perfect. The atmosphere in the coffee shop is very relaxing, and the people working there were very kind and patient with our orders. Whether you live in Springfield or are just visiting, this is a great place to get your morning going.

    Very nice cafe. Quick and friendly service. I absolutely loved the soup. My sandwich was good as well. I was not a fan of the "side green salad". It would be nice if another option was available to accompany the sandwich.

    Avocado toast (allegedly)

    Beautiful place! Friendly staff! Okay food (grilled cheese wasn't grilled and cheese wasn't even melted). Coffee was average.

There were only a couple of empty tables in there, but that changed quickly and within 5 minutes there was a wait of 20-30 mins. Our server "TT" took our orders right away and the entire time we were there no one's beverage got even close to empty. Considering how many tables she had, the amount of attention she dedicated to us was impressive. The food was great! Biscuits and gravy, hash browns and bacon were yummy as were the waffles. For 4 adults the tab came to $52 with drinks, before tip. Not a bad value especially since 3 of us took half of our food to go because the portions are so large. We will be back next time we're in town!

We stopped in on a day's drive from Kansas City to Chicago, due to the quantity and quality of reviews all over the internets, very much including Yelp! We were hungry and in need of some energy for lunch, and Charlie Parker's delivered on both! The place looks like a small military airplane hangar, but don't be fooled: inside is some of the best greasy spoon food you could wish for in the Midwest! The dining room is bright, tight, and fun, decorated to the inch by fun, colorful and humorous memorabilia! We ordered, and were served just a few quick minutes later. Each platter (correct word!) was stuffed with awesome, tasty food! Amongst the four of us, we had some sweet and some savory options, and we all tried each others! We all agreed - the food was delicious! When the bill came and printed at the bottom was a number less than $100, less than $50, I almost lost my mind! We were STUFFED to the gills with awesome diner fare, and our bill was barely $40! How did this happen? I pray this place is somehow eeking out a profit, as I seriously can't remember getting so much awesome food for so little cost in a sit-down restaurant. If it IS making money, then MAJOR kudos to the owner - this business model should be copied throughout the land. Food = 4/5 Facility = 4/5 Service = 4/5 Ambiance = 4/5 Value = 6/5
