Yellow Bird Coffee House
1001 N 1st St, Springfield, IL
Crema's Take
“Tucked just north of Springfield's medical district, this cozy neighborhood spot nails the old-school coffee house vibe with genuinely friendly service and an impressive spread that goes way beyond basic espresso drinks—their matcha is phenomenal and the breakfast sandwiches feature homemade bread that's actually worth talking about. Whether you're settling in for a slow morning with a cold brew or stopping by for one of their full breakfast offerings, the generous portions and warm atmosphere make it easy to see why locals keep coming back.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, good cold brew. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

I went here twice on my recent trip to Springfield and enjoyed it. The first time, I got an iced latte and the cinnamon roll, which was harder than I expected it would be. I might’ve gotten it when it wasn’t as fresh. The second time, I got a London fog and the sausage, egg, and…
Cute and quaint. I love the cozy ambiance. The coffee is delicious, the machta is phenomenal and the breakfast sandwiches are amazing! The bread is sweet and the sausage is flavorful! The coconut cherry scone was so dense but most. Best scone I’ve had! It’s also walking distance…
