I like the new location even better than the previous one downtown. There is a lot more space to sit and enjoy your meal. The menu has something for everyone. I had the gobble-gobble (turkey sandwich on a pretzel bun) and my wife had Ken's club (turkey sandwich on multi grain bread). Both sandwiches were very good. My pretzel bun was nice and soft piled with turkey, bacon and their cranberry cream cheese (it was so good). We will certainly go back as the menu looks to have several other items I have got to try.

Food was good, but portions seem small for the cost. It was super busy when I went. They almost need more seating. Staff were all nice and accommodating. Glad to see this business is doing so well.

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.

I came here for breakfast on a Tuesday in July. The space had lots of natural light and was clean. Strong A/C too. I mentioned I need gluten-free options, and the owner gave an excellent overview. It was clear they had put a lot of thought into accommodating customers with this food sensitivity. I had a decaf iced Americano coffee and a loaded strata. It had bacon and sausage on top of egg and was covered in gruyere cheese. Tasty! It also came with fresh fruit and a side of gluten-free toast. When I was finished I felt satisfied and well cared for. One of the best breakfasts I had while visiting Springfield.
