Nestled in a fast flourishing downtown of Springfield sits a small coffee emporium with an contentment of flavorful, uninformed coffee drinks and tasty food.
The accessible baristas hail we with a grin as a smell of coffee fills a air. Soft song plays in a credentials to finish a classical “read a book and sip your coffee” atmosphere, though that’s not all Historic Perk Coffee Shop (704 S Main St.) has to offer.
The register is surrounded by brownies, chess squares, cookies and yogurt parfait all done in-house. Granola bars and lax granola are accessible as good as an collection of muffins and biscotti.
These honeyed to-go treats span with a several coffee drinks from a residence brew, lattes, cappuccinos, americanos, espresso and more.
Don’t know what these are? No worries!
The baristas are happy to explain a drinks to we and even make suggestions for what we might like. They also have non-coffee drinks available.
During my visits, we have attempted a accumulation of latte options, a middle fry residence decoction from Rwanda and a cold brew. The Rwandan residence decoction was smooth, with a small cream and sugarine to raise a season to my liking. By blending flavors or perplexing them alone, lattes are a chalky crater of integrity with shots of espresso from Papua New Guinea. My personal favorite so distant is a prohibited vanilla latte, though these can be cold too. Even better, all a syrups are done in-house.
Although usually served during a warmer months of Apr to October, a cold decoction is a illusory approach to suffer a smooth, lovely crater of coffee. Since cold decoction is done but heat, it’s reduction acidic and some-more caffeinated. It’s a tack splash for me as a heat rises. Prices operation from $2 to $4.35, and any additions we make to a drink.
After determining that splash we want, it’s on to a food. Serving both breakfast and lunch, there’s no miss of options for your dish of choice. A emporium favorite is a grilled duck parmesan panini, and it didn’t disappoint. Precisely grilled with a slight crunch, this slimey cheese and duck filled panini is a approach to go. If you’re feeling additional hungry, sides are available.
Another sandwich to try is a pimento cheese sandwich or panini. If we like cheese, this is a dish for you. Pimento cheese somewhat melted on toasted bread is a good brew of break and flavor.
Food specials change each week to keep a menu fresh. The menu consists of bagels, avocado toast and breakfast sandwiches in further to a equipment in a bake case. Lunch options embody salads, sandwiches and paninis. Prices operation from $4.75 to $7 for a rather stuffing dish done from totally singular recipes.
As a emporium that prides itself on meaningful accurately where a coffee beans are entrance from, Historic Perk’s caring for a product and a business is apparent.
