This is the best coffee in Springfield, and arguably the best in the state! This ”coffee forward” establishment really focuses on coffee. That may sound silly but many businesses spend too much time on food and menu options, neglecting their most important commodity—coffee! Brick & Mortar (B&M) avoids those pitfalls and emphasizes coffee—and only coffee. B&M is primarily a roastery that also has a small, quaint tasting room to give patrons a space to enjoy the exquisite coffee! I recently had the pleasure of meeting and conversing with Jonathan the owner of B&M. His friendly and knowledgeable approach to the coffee experience made my visit all the more pleasant. The coffee menu is small but sufficient. Less is more! I highly recommend B&M’s espresso. It’s perhaps the best I’ve tasted!

This place is really great for specialty coffee with ingredients like pineapple whip or Mexican cola, and they make it fresh right in front of you.The prices are also cheaper compared to other coffee places and are actually full of espresso vice watered down with sugar and slush.The restaurant itself looks amazing, like something youd find in New York or California vice a little street in Springfield.

This coffee is very different than all the others—It’s like Black Sheep for coffee. It’s so smooth and delicious! Get a cup and take a bag home with you!

This place cares about coffee. Meticulous. In-house roasted. Perfect.

Best cup of coffee in Springfield, hands down. And trust me, I’ve tried them all.

Coffee for people who truly love coffee. Not another Starbucks knockoff with burnt-biscuit flavored coffee and sugary, powder-flavored nightmares slathered in whip cream. These guys are purists, craftsmen, artisans in a Philistine land of pretenders. Their spartan decor highlights their emphasis on function over form. Theyve ignored a superficial desire for kitschy frivolous swaths of decor and addressed a serious need for seriously good coffee. And I... am grateful.

Better than Starbucks. These people care about coffee and the eccentricities of the complex flavors. My girls and myself got the iced latte which were great and the wife had a hot cup of coffee. I usually like my a touch sweeter but the flavors were good. Worth stopping, if you like a touch of sweet bring it with you.

Love love love the coffee. The barista was really helpful in helping me decide on the coffee I wanted. I love trying different places black coffee. This one was well roasted, fruity, and full. He talked me in to the Burmese coffee in a French press. It. Was. Perfect! If you like black coffee, definitely try here.

The quality of the coffee seems to vary from visit to visit and leans toward poor. There are plenty of coffee shops with better consistency.

Terrible presentation with poor architecture. The owner doesnt care about his customers . Despite my poor experience they refuse to offer a refund .I cant even taste the coffee here .

We stopped in here on a Saturday in time for their informal cupping and soon realized we were in good hands. Jonathon, the owner of B&M coffee was running the shop and because it was a slow day we all had plenty of time to talk. After the cupping we tried a few drinks from the tasting bar as well as getting a bit of a tour of the roasting area. All very cool! We all enjoyed our time very much and I will definitely be stopping in again next time Im in Springfield. Thanks for all the time you spent with us, Jonathan!Brandon Ensz from South Dakota

The staff person on duty was very helpful in making our choices in what to order on our first visit (2nd for my sister in law). Our coffee choices were delicious. The atmosphere was laid back and we felt welcome and not rushed by staff to vacate even once we were done.

Review №22

These guys roast and brew a great cup, no matter what you order. They are extremely friendly! We love everything they make but last Saturday they were serving some delicious frozen custard with a shop of espresso to pour over the top and my taste buds are still feeling happy from the experience!

Review №23

Sat down and enjoyed the best cup of coffee I have ever had the pleasure of drinking. The owner, Jonathan, and his crew were friendly, enthusiastic, and the service was great. I brought on jar of beans with me back to Sweden, and once home I wish I had bought more. If these guys could deliver to Sweden then this would be the only coffee Id ever let touch my lips. Keep up the amazing job your doing, and keep making amazing coffee.

Good espresso and cool atmosphere. Not so great service and very limited menu. If youre in the area you should just drive a couple more minutes to the coffee ethic.

Review №25

This place is not afraid to do things the right way. They wont compromise their coffee integrity despite the demand for Starbucks style coffee. They are true 3rd wave coffee. If you want to taste coffee in its truest form and learn a thing or two, this is the place for you.

Review №28

Came here looking for a relaxing cup of coffee; instead, I paid $4 for a shot glass sized cup of cold brew with raspberry sauce mixed in. One of my friends paid $4 for what was basically a sip of cold brew and a ton of whipped cream. I would choose my own French press over this any day.

The folks that work here are very knowledgeable about their craft. They were great about not making us feel rushed when we had questions and passionately answered them.Their roasted coffee beans are fantastic. As an amateur roaster, I was also extremely excited to find that they sell green coffee beans. The long drive from home is well worth each visit!

Do yourself a favor and order the baristas choice. This is a place to take your time and enjoy the craft of coffee. Every aspect of the coffee has been artfully cared for and the team is equally passionate about the quality in the cup. Brick and Mortar Coffee will be listed among the great and influential coffee bars in the nation.

Review №36

There isnt a better roaster in town. And no better café for conversation. Also, fantastic people. The Ampersand cold brew is the best coffee in Springfield,and maybe in all of America. No joke.

Review №37

The place is great, however, it is a tasting room. Remember that, it is a TASTING ROOM! While they do have a full bar, they are not a coffee shop. They have a limited select of beverages, no wifi, few seats, and no syrups for the coffee. I would still recommend going if given the chance, and buy a burlap sack while youre at it!

Co
Review №38

Not only one of the best places to get coffee in town, but one of the best in the country. Primarily a roaster, they have a coffee bar that serves as a kind of tasting room for what they roast.While it can feel intimidating going into a place like this if youre not a huge coffee/espresso drinker, the staff is extremely friendly; whether youre a seasoned connoisseur or just have a couple questions, theyre more than happy to inform, advise, or even just chat.

Review №40

Im very picky about coffee. This hits the spot. Not overly sweet, made with care, knowledge, and quality ingredients. Definitely artisan coffee for snobs. The only problem is, if you go at certain times there is only one employee in there, and it may take quite a while to get a cuppa.

This is mainly a place to taste and buy coffee beans, they do have a small menu of excellent coffee and very good service. I would recommend stopping by for a quick cortado and if you have a grinder be sure to grab some beans.

Review №75

I love the taste of their coffee. So many other boutique roasters try to do a light roast and leave you enjoying a pinto-bean-tasting drink. Their roast brings out the subtle tones without being so weird it sends the novice coffee drinkers running. Truly head and shoulders above any other company in the flavor profile.The tasting room is just that. Not a place to hang out and coffee shop off the wifi (I dont think customer wifi is available). A great place to sit and chat with friends (provided the music isnt too loud) or with the baristas (great staff).a must-visit if you love coffee.

Excellent macchiato with the single-origin espresso. Three pour over options -- I went with the Kenyan, my wife with the El Salvador. Both were delicious, but mine was better -- perfectly balanced sweetness and acidity. The barista was really friendly and knowledgable, showing me around the roaster and talking beans. Classy decor, too. Overall an outstanding shop.

Brick & Mortar is a fresh new perspective for the Springfield coffee community. The owners and employees are VERY knowledgable and can answer any questions you may have, while crafting you the finest traditional beverages with their in-shop roasted beans. Their homemade cold press goes really well with a hot day and they have a variety of merchandise to sell. Phil Cook, Jonathan Putnam, and Audre Langebartel have spent a combined few decades in the coffee industry and REALLY KNOW THEIR STUFF. This is my favorite shop in town and is highly recommended for a morning pick-me-up, a relaxed afternoon study session, a cupping or tasting event, or even the occasional latte art throwdown. I recommend the baristas choice--whoever is on the bar will give you some great beverages.
