The Coffee Ethic
124 Park Central Square, Springfield, MO
Crema's Take
“The Coffee Ethic earns its spot as a Springfield Coffee Trail landmark by balancing technical excellence with genuine hospitality, from carefully executed Ethiopian pour overs to inventive seasonal drinks like their Citrus & Fig Aerocano that linger in customers' memories. Beyond the espresso-focused menu, the downtown gem shines for its fresh, thoughtfully-made breakfast offerings—customers rave about everything from banana coffee drinks to breakfast sandwiches that taste intentional rather than mass-produced. The modern space attracts everyone from solo coffee enthusiasts to groups meeting over conversation, staffed by friendly folks who actually know their craft and make you feel welcomed the moment you walk in.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.
