The European
105 Park Central Square, Springfield, MO
Crema's Take
“Tucked on Springfield's square, The European is a genuine Continental escape where espresso drinks rival what you'd find in a Vienna café, paired with house-made pastries, sourdough, and standout dishes like shakshuka that taste far more refined than a coffee shop has any right to deliver. The intimate, naturally-lit space invites you to linger over a leisurely breakfast or settle in with your laptop, all while a genuinely warm staff makes you feel like a regular from your first visit. It's the kind of place that makes you forget you're in Missouri, not the heart of Europe.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

No idea what wizardry they use to make a simple latte+ avacado toast+ side salad taste like a legitimate 5-star meal but they did it. My latte was made by the gentlemen with a beanie and blue eyes, 15/10. Wish I saw who made the food. We must hold respect for food and the…
This a quaint little European Cafe on the square. The atmosphere is very inviting, easy to relax and converse in. The staff was very friendly and helpful with inquiries. We arrived after the kitchen closed, which is 2:30pm, so we indulged in pastries and coffee. The Tiramisu was…
Stopped in to get a couple sweet treats. It wasn’t busy when I went, which was around 1330. Employees were polite and accommodating. It was nice and bright from outside lighting, very pleasant. The desserts were delicious. The croissants were the best I’ve had, flakey, buttery,…
