★★★★★ 5.0 Megan · Oct 2025

I went here twice on my recent trip to Springfield and enjoyed it. The first time, I got an iced latte and the cinnamon roll, which was harder than I expected it would be. I might’ve gotten it when it wasn’t as fresh. The second time, I got a London fog and the sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on their house bun. The breakfast sandwich was so good! I highly recommend. The staff were friendly and helpful in their communication and giving their recommendations on what to order. I would definitely stop back when I’m in town again.

Not a single sighting of Big Bird anywhere. :/ Jokes aside, Emily and I were getting out of town for the afternoon and set our sights on Springfield. We had a blast the last time we were here so it’s only natural we would want to come back and do the same. As usual, I made a list of coffeehouses we could visit and Emily looked at their menu and picked a place. While she didn’t see anything that grabbed her attention, she did like the vibes of the place. What were those vibes exactly? I’m not sure exactly but I kind of dug the place. Yellow Bird is in an old historic building that has more stories the walls could tell then we have a lifetime to listen to them. The interior had some antique vibes going for it along with what felt like a smattering of random things they found at estate sale

★★★★★ 5.0 Kara Milward · May 2025

Cute and quaint. I love the cozy ambiance. The coffee is delicious, the machta is phenomenal and the breakfast sandwiches are amazing! The bread is sweet and the sausage is flavorful! The coconut cherry scone was so dense but most. Best scone I’ve had! It’s also walking distance to a really cute little park! Win win! Oh the banana machta???? AMAZING

July 26, 2024 - 4.7 🌟I discovered the Yellow Bird Coffee House hidden just north of Memorial/SIU Medical Complex. It was quite a find. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The service was superb and the coffee was very good. It was a pleasant experience. I had a macchiato with an extra shot and a slice of bacon cheddar quiche. The macchiato was robust and full bodied. The quiche was flavorful and moist inside. The top was too dark and a little hard. I picked up an Americano for the road. It was good, but not the level of the macchiato. The Americano had a slight metallic taste. I liked this place well enough to stop in my next visit to Springfield. It is the type of enterprise I like to patronize—local and unique.
