Sleepy Opossum Cafe

"As someone who has a lot of coffee/ breakfast meetings in my line of work, it's important to have "your spot." Sleepy Opossum is that spot for me. The breakfast sandwiches are INCREDIBLE (who would have known that jam makes the perfect topping on an egg, cheese, and potato biscuit??!?), the coffee is perfect black, and the service is always outstanding. All that and the vibe is super cool. If you're wanting to make someone feel like a billion dollars with a breakfast place, this should be your spot too."

"One of my favorite spots in town! I love to journal & read while I wait for my food to arrive. And oh, the food! It is like a small drop of heaven landed into the breakfast dishes that I have eaten here. They are full of flavor, always piping hot, and served in a cute dish! I have a very fragile stomach (especially trying out new food places), so I admit I was nervous to try this spot for the first time. I found that my stomach had no issues with their food! Actually, I felt amazing the rest of the day because of how fresh it was. To top it all off, the people who work here are among the friendliest in Springfield. They are always quick to give me recommendations on what I should try. And they are constantly working so hard behind the counter. Thank you, Sleepy Opposum Cafe! You’ve easily become one of my favorites in Springfield!"

"Moved to The Midwest after the pandemic and didn’t know what to expect with the food scene as a transplant from the east coast. Especially in a smaller town like Springfield. But I gotta say, this little spot does it all. And that’s a pretty amazing feat given that they space share with a bar that’s open in the evenings. Best part about that is the special events they do, like breakfast/brunch for dinner, etc. It’s pretty fun. And nothing about the experience eating here feels pretentious. The small team manages to handle a 8-10 table sized establishment, with a line sometimes out the door, with a consistent kindness rarely found being offered by other cafés. Especially drive through ones. The wait can be long at times. That tends to be the case during family weekends hosted by the local universities. But my food has never been cold and the staff have never treated me like a burden. The meals taste like a family reunion. The biscuits are dense, the coffee is hard to give yourself a limit on, and the room is filled with the kind of neighborly chatter that makes you ponder the next chance you’ll have to return, and try something new."

"I finally went in, after daydreaming of this place, and got the best slice of cake i have ever had. White velvet with apple butter and burnt caramel Swiss merengue buttercream. Next time, i'll be staying to dine in for sure ♡"

"A fun vibing kind of location-Dani's flour pot bakery is an experience happening inside The Royal! The food is so good! I buy pastry from her at the Saturday Market on commercial all the time! Just ordered Berria Quesadilla and I can't wait!"
