Russ's
5 Rimmon Ave, Springfield, MA
Crema's Take
“Russ's pulls off the rare trick of being a serious breakfast destination without any pretension—their gingerbread pancakes and croissant French toast are legitimately excellent, and the rye toast from a renowned local bakery alone justifies the trip. The staff genuinely cares even when slammed, and the cozy, laid-back vibe makes it perfect for lingering over coffee and food with friends or family. If you want hearty, well-executed breakfast food in a place that feels like an actual neighborhood spot rather than a polished cafe, this is your move.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu.

Oh my God this place was amazing. Some of the greatest food in a long time. The gingerbread pancakes were absolutely delicious with just a hint of gingerbread, not overpowering, served with whip cream no syrup needed. The corn beef hash was so crispy, particularly around the…
