Reviews For The European

My recent visit to The European was absolutely delightful. From the moment I arrived, the warm, elegant atmosphere set the stage for a wonderful meal. The staff was exceptionally attentive, ensuring every detail was just right. The highlight of my experience was, without a doubt, the strawberry pancakes. They were beautifully presented, with fluffy pancakes topped with fresh strawberries and just the right amount of sweetness. Each bite was heavenly, perfectly balanced in flavor and texture. The European is truly a gem, whether you're there for breakfast or a special occasion. The combination of exquisite food, attentive service, and refined ambiance makes it a must-visit. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!

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!

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.

Beautiful merger! The last time I was here, Rise met exceeded anll expectations again. Today, merged with their associate, the European Cafe, 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!

Absolutely such a wonderful place all in all! But my 2 favorite things about this place is the atmosphere and the drinks/food. It's such a cozy, warm and comforting vibe to chill at and drink a cup of coffee and enjoy some yummy food. Which by the way the Vanilla Latte is by far the best I have had here in Springfield, MO and I also got the breakfast bowl and those eggs were so soft and pillowy. Definitely I recommend this place 100% and 10/10.

European Cafe 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. Whether meeting friends, working on your laptop, or relaxing alone, European Cafe is a perfect place to take a break. There's plenty of seating, and the atmosphere is calm and cozy, making it easy to spend hours here. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet and relaxing spot in the city!
