This is the place for a nice cup of delicious coffee and top notch European pastries! Overall good vibe and plenty of seating inside and out. Definitely recommend. Whenever I'm in town I always come here! Had the iced vanilla latte with oatmilk (best I had in town), along with a couple of macaroons. My companions had the apple strudel and fererro Roche cake.
Tasty coffee, desserts and good restroom. It is a great combination. First time I didn’t visit restroom but this time would like to share some pictures. I like that in the middle of Springfield it is nice place to meet with friends and have a good cappuccino or latte.
This is a great little coffee shop with incredible baked goods. It really does have a European feel to it. They make everything fresh there in the store and it’s got a really cool vibe. There’s a big parking lot behind the building on the north side or you can park and walk at the alley right to it. Great place.
Great staff and location! Fresh baked goods were sold out by the time I arrived but the tea was great!
This cafe is a gem!! I have been stopping here for years and the quality of these desserts is the best in this area!
Love it here! Had the strawberry lemon parfait with the lavender coconut yogurt and avocado toast. Was so delicious that I came back for lunch and had the harvest salad with chicken which was so fresh and unique with the orange dressing. Cute local, healthy spot that’s a no brainer!
European Café is a great little place in the middle of Downtown. The moment you walk in, it feels warm and comfortable. The coffee is delicious and well-made, with many choices, including cappuccinos, lattes, and strong espressos. Their pastries are fresh and have an excellent selection of croissants, cakes, and cookies that go perfectly with the drinks. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home.
Beautiful merger! The last time I was here, Rise met/exceeded all expectations again. Today, merged with their associate, the European Café, it was another knockout. Caccio e Pepe egg bowl? Fantasy of food. Eggs and pancakes with bacon? Those ricotta pancakes were incredibly light and flavorful. The roasted tomato egg and avocado sandwich was beautiful. Just look at the menu…it’s excellent. Next time I’m going to purchase more pastries and perhaps some bonbons! They’re gorgeous! In all The time I’ve been coming to Springfield, there had never been a single time I’ve been that I’ve ever been disappointed. Well done!
This a quaint little European Cafe on the square. The atmosphere is very inviting, easy to relax and converse in. The staff was very friendly and helpful with inquiries. We arrived after the kitchen closed, which is 2:30pm, so we indulged in pastries and coffee. The Tiramisu was absolutely spot on, and the Opera cake was extremely delightful. Coffee was perfectly blended and hit the spot on the nippy day. Can't wait to return and try the kitchen menu, till then, keep up the great work.
Love this place!! Always fresh and takes you back to Europe every time you have a bite of anything here!! Unique dishes! Love the Sakshuka, the pastries, cakes, sourdough bread and everything else. You can't go wrong with anything you order here! Kristina, Uliana and the staff are great!! We always come back for more!! ❤️😋
