Caffeine customized to your liking.
On a day when I had to drop my car off at the tire shop for new tires, Emily and I took that as an invitation to go out of town for an afternoon. We headed out to Springfield since neither of us had been down there for awhile. First stop was… Custom Cup Coffee to get us caffeinated for an afternoon of shenanigans.
We dropped in to a cozy little coffeehouse. This place had been on my list for awhile and on the way down, I gave Em a list of local coffee places we can try and this is the one that she picked and what a great choice it was. I got my usual Americano and Emily got the Beekeeper. Along with my love of coffee, I do love stickers and grabbed a giant one for $4 and the barista hooked us up with some free little ones. Score! They do have a small food menu, too, if you come here and need something to compliment your caffeinated drink.
I usually look around and snap a few photos while waiting but I barely got turned around before my drink was being called out. That’s the fastest I’ve ever gotten an Americano. Emily’s drink was not far behind. Granted we had no one in front of us when we ordered, it was Jimmy Johns level of freaky fast. We were going to sit outside but they were putting up their outside furniture for some reason so we took a seat inside.
This Americano was spot-on for what I crave when I want one. Not only was it tasty but for being 20oz, it somehow lasted me until we walked over to Buzz Bomb Brewing Co. and I started drinking a beer. Emily was in love with her latte and let me have a little sip and wow… it was delicious. It was no surprise that she finished her drink in half the time it took me to finish mine.
All in all, Custom Cup Coffee had super friendly baristas, a quaint and cozy interior with a little bit of seating and super...
Read moreOn my recent road trip, I stopped into today this morning and loved the espresso. I decided to come back before attending this dog show to bring a few lattes on the road with me in my mason jars. I asked the barista Emily if she could rinse them out for me as I’ve been on the road for some days now. “Sure.” I asked her to use some soap. She responded to me “I’m not going to do your dishes” in the most unprofessional and rude way she could have. She continued to be rude as I waited for my lattes, as she handed them to me she couldn’t even look me in my eye and say have a nice day. People like this do not belong in any field dealing with customers face to face. The product is good the workers suck. I will not be coming back here after spending 50$ in one morning. Whoever runs this place you seriously need to hire better employees. I can’t believe she expected a...
Read moreAugust 5, 2025 (5 ⭐) - On a visit to the State's capital city, I discovered Custom Cup Coffee. This shop was an unexpected find - friendly staff, nice atmosphere and GREAT coffee. A true 5⭐ visit. Custom Cup has been in business for 10 years. It sources the beans and roasts them on site. The staff reported they are roasting beans several days each week, ensuring the coffee is always fresh. Everything is ground on the spot from espresso to pour over to drip, including iced coffee drinks. I enjoyed a wonderful cortado made with Tanzanian beans, as I relaxed and took in the atmosphere. I took a drip for my ride home. It was sourced from Costa Rico and better than any drip coffee around. Of the coffee shops I have visited in Springfield, Custom Cup is #1. If you love espresso based coffee or simply freshly roasted and ground coffee, Custom Cup Coffee should be your...
