Crema's Take

This Springdale institution blends nostalgic comfort with genuine hospitality, where you'll find yourself lingering over generous portions of fried chicken, catfish specials, and honest-to-goodness grandma-style pies while the staff treats you like family. The atmosphere strikes that sweet spot between themed charm and lived-in warmth, making it equally ideal for a solo coffee and pastry moment or a sprawling family gathering with plenty of parking to spare. Neal's proves that a great coffee shop doesn't have to choose between being a community gathering place and a destination for genuinely good food and drink.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

The food was pretty good. Had fried chicken with taters and gravy. The crust on the chicken was very good. Had chocolate pie as desert and it was old school grandma pie. I really wanted pecan but they were out. Atmosphere is one of history. The place has been there forever.…

Food was very good, almost couldn't eat it all. Server was amazing. Very nice and attentative. I actually really liked the decor and atmosphere of the place, but it felt uneven. Like half was themed and the other half felt a bit empty. But all in all good experience.

My friend in Springfield kept going on about Neal's. So when I had the chance to visit, I jumped at the chance. First off, friendly staff. Made you feel like a long lost friends. Second. Server was really helpful with our menu choices. Then went to the next level to provide…
