Arrowroot Coffee Co - Roastery and Coffee Lounge
625 E Adams St, Springfield, IL
Crema's Take
“Arrowroot's roastery produces unusually smooth, nuanced black coffee that keeps customers coming back, while their lounge offers a comfortable retreat where the owner's genuine passion for quality translates into standout drinks like their Lavender Dream Latte and perfectly-pulled cappuccinos. Whether you're grabbing whole bean blends to brew at home or settling in for a slow coffee experience, the friendly staff and inviting space make this Springfield roastery feel like the kind of place that spoils you for everywhere else.”

Arrowroot always had my favorite coffee beans, IDK what they do but its black is uniquely smooth in a way I haven't ever seen from other coffee roasters, so I was ecstatic to see they were opening a physical location downtown! It's a cozy spot, price is fair (honestly about a dollar cheaper per cup than I'm used to), and the coffee is as great as I expected! Only issue is it can get a little busy on weekends and seating can be tough to come by, which is a testament to how great the spot is. If you're here, you should try it!
I ordered a Lavender Dream Latte and it was delicious — smooth, lightly floral, and comforting. The drip coffee was a bit darker than we expected, but still enjoyable. Overall, the ambiance is great and makes it a lovely spot to relax. Service was great as well. Street parking is available.
UPDATE: I just visited the coffee lounge and had a wonderful experience. The space is comfortable and inviting, and the staff are friendly and helpful. I had the cappuccino and a muffin and both were excellent. I will definitely be returning soon! I've been buying Arrowroot coffee for a few years now, and I have never been disappointed with any of their roasts. Jacob even delivers it to my house! Great coffee, great customer service - what more could you ask for?
Highly recommend! The owner is incredibly passionate about his coffee, and it truly shows in the quality. Ever since my first latte at the farmers market, I haven’t been able to go anywhere else. Literally the best lattes I’ve ever had and it all started with the cinnamon roll latte. They offer oat milk or organic milk options, and the coffee is always clean, smooth, and thoughtfully made. So excited that they’re opening a downtown location soon.
We love Arrowroot Coffee! We buy the whole bean blends for our espresso machine ~ the Earth Tones Espresso, Daybreak Half Caf, and the Colombian SugarCane Decaf ~ all of which are delicious. All of Arrowroot’s coffee is so smooth and flavorful, and they truly make our mornings!! Love to support such an awesome local business and its amazing business owner Jacob. Can’t wait to hang at the new storefront!
