Historic Perk — Restaurant in Springfield

I’ve spent time at Historic Perk nearly every week over the past two years and have never had a negative experience. First, the staff is always friendly and know me and my toddler by sight.

Our party made our way down the street to Historic Perk. Everyone was very friendly! The atmosphere was fun for our gathering and gift opening. The food was yummy...even the kids agreed! My friends ordered coffee and tea and had nothing but compliments. Next time we come to Springfield, we will make plans to eat at Historic Perk...they...

For a coffee shop in Springfield, Historic Perk is the place to grab a pour over, latte, or a cold brew. It's not going to be The same quality as some coffee shops in Nashville, but for Springfield it is pretty good. The espresso shots pulled have been on the burnt side, so I would recommend ordering drinks where flavors and milk can slightly overpower the tart taste. Decor wise, the room is open and has open lighting. There is breakfast available in the morning, though you will need to make it there before 2PM. Prices are reasonable. Honestly, having any decent coffee shop in town is such a wonderful addition, so make your way over to...
