Aviary by Lavender Falls Cafe
2144 E Republic Rd, Ozark, MO
Crema's Take
“Aviary by Lavender Falls Cafe is a rustic sanctuary filled with charming woodworking, birdhouse paintings, and natural light that makes you want to linger for hours, and the staff—particularly standouts like Jillian and Adam—genuinely care about making your visit memorable, whether you're nursing an infant or meeting friends. Beyond the welcoming atmosphere, they nail both the classics and creative surprises, from their signature smoked salmon toast to unexpected delights like breaded chicken breast French toast and a house-favorite crepe called the Funky Monkey that keeps families coming back.”

Our waitress Jillian was so kind. She went above and beyond to make our experience comfortable. Jillian found a quiet place for me to nurse our young infant, brought me a cold drink and provided excellent service the rest of the meal. The aviary is one of the few places in town that we feel is still “worth it” in terms of quality and quantity. Highly recommend the Brussels sprouts!! Thanks again Jillian. Means a lot for us to be able to experience a delicious and low stress meal as a family.
Was a wonderful rustic environment with plenty of woodworking, low/natural lighting plenty of birdhouses painting and open outside views.Quick to seated even in a packed house service was slow, but that’s to be expected with how busy it was. Now on to the meat and potatoes, or should I say bacon and eggs I have the pleasure of trying the: IS IT MORNING? Topped With Crème Fraiche & Parmesan, filled with scrambled Eggs, Bacon, Caramelized Onion, cheddar jack cheese. Wrapped in made to order crepes. This was a very delectable way to have brunch all your tried and true classics rolled into a sweet and savory mix every thing melded well and it wasn’t overly sweet or salty. Was huge portion with 3 total crepes with a side. Speaking of sides the bacon cheddar Grits were to die for as a southerner born and raised these grits hit the spot so good I had to get some to take home. Overall the entire meal was filling tasty and not to costly with a price point of about 10-20$ a meal!
not a thing to complain about. well maybe the wait on the weekends is a little bit but other than that what a delight for Springfield. Especially the service. Adam might be the best waiter I've ever met. The place was very clean. The food is big portions and its really affordable. They have an amazing cocktail menu as well. I'm not sure what took us so long to come here but we will be back for sure. I'm wondering about the name. Aviary. I expected plants and birds I think. I had salmon toast with poached egg and avocado and couldnt finish it. Was amazing. Blows First Watch out the water!
The Aviary is a bustling place with outstanding atmosphere, service, and food. I called ahead for easy call ahead seating and avoided the wait. I had the breaded chicken breast French toast and bacon. My dish was fabulous and my date had chicken salad sandwich. The coffee at the Aviary is excellent too. One of my favorite stops in Springfield. I highly recommend! I will be back again and again.
The food is amazing as always. I highly recommend the smoked salmon toast! It was the perfect blend of sweet and savory. My daughters love the crepes, funky monkey is their go to. My wife thoroughly enjoyed the shrimp and grits. The coffee was delicious and strawberry sangria was a great finisher.
