What People Are Saying

Why Springfield Keeps Coming Back to El Cafecito

“On a trip to Springfield, ran across this place. Wow — what a happy event. Food is awesome. Had the Chichaloco Burrito and a hot Mexican coffee. Both wonderful and served in traditional plate/mug. Clean. Delicious. Please give this place a visit. Highly recommend.”

Tara Howard

“Do it. Just do it. I'm from Florida, here visiting family. My standards for food and service can be hard to meet in other parts of the country — but this spot right here is the MOVE for real. Excellent everything. Super cute. I'm so grateful we went here.”

Kaitlyn Allen

“One of my new favorite places in Springfield! I love the effort to be authentic and have inspired Latin foods. The coffee is delicious and unique. I like that they have a filling menu for breakfast or lunch, but also lighter options. The cafe itself is super cute and cozy — a great place to sit and get work done.”
