Nestled in the heart of Joplin is a true gem: “Bearded Lady” coffee shop. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by the rich aroma of freshly roasted beans and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The cozy seating arrangements make it the perfect spot to unwind with a good book or catch up with friends.
