Dancing Mule has a lovely interior space. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. The fresh cinnamon rolls are quite good, and I highly suggest as a choice. The coffee drinks that are heavily flavored are often quite good and the espresso stands in those drinks well. Options heavily reliant on their espresso tend to be overly dark and not complex, but serviceable. They do have a tendency to overheat their milk during steaming breaking down the milk sugars. I suggest having a dash of a syrup added even to caps and cortados to bring the balance back. Everyone I have ever brought here has been very pleased with the experience and it is a great option in the Springfield market.

Friendly staff and good service. Quality coffee with the standard espresso drinks and their own specialty drinks. A little more expensive than what Im used to spending, but Id rather support a local business.

Fast, efficient, affordable, and the best chai latte Ive ever had.

A quick glance inside makes this shop with a standard menu sadly unremarkable. With so many other quality destinations in the city, and Kingdom Coffee’s new location soon to open nearby, the drive-through seems like the only real draw

Really good! I can see why theyve been around for awhile. Its a little place but a lot of flavor and quality

Great coffee, awesome people! Nice environment!

Place is nice and clean. Coffee is tasty. Friendly baristas. Love this place

Great coffee, and super friendly! They also have new syrup flavors that sound yummy. I added in blackberry vanilla syrup and it was delicious!

I got an iced latte and it was so good! Not only was my coffee delicious, but the service was great and cheaper than most places. I definitely recommend :)

Always my favorite place to stop for an iced chai (which I refer to as Christmas in a cup).They also usually have the best peanut butter in town with fresh celery.Since moving I make it a point to stop in and have both listed items when I’m in town because I miss it so. Stopped in today and the peanut butter was less full than usual and was NOT the same as what I use to get. 😏Pros:Iced Chai tea = Christmas in a cup all year round.Clean insideGreat staffCons:Changed peanut butter.

Our Sunday morning ritual and my favorite coffee place in town! I usually go for an Iced chai latte but would recommend trying the seasonal drinks as well!

Dancing Mule is my favorite place to get coffee in Springfield. They do a delicious cappuccino, and I also love their iced Americano. The folks that work there are always friendly.

Tabitha is the best barista! ❤️ Love all of their seasonal drinks. Great staff and cute set up.

Great every time!

Great service. They have an incredible Chai Tea. The best in town in my opinion. I would highly recommend.

Smells amazing as soon as you walk in! Friendly people and staff. Relaxing atmosphere. Coffee was delicious.

I have never been to this place at all i didnt know it had ever existed i might i might of been. Around there but i never went into the building i have a nice day.

Coffee is so so depending on when you go. Ive gotten great drinks and Ive gotten watered down grossness in a cup. I give them 4 stars for have a 32oz tho :)

Needed to grab coffee on our drive home from Branson, and this place caught my eye because it had a drive thru. 🙌 Hubby was driving and vetoed my suggestion, opting for Starbucks so he could stick to what we know... Well, Starbucks happened to be closed unexpectedly, so mama got her way!!! The ladies working the drive thru were super helpful and our drinks were awesome. I got an iced mulekick with heavy cream and their made-in-house pumpkin syrup. My husband got their nitro cold brew with cream and vanilla syrup. Thanks for an excellent coffee stop!

Good coffee and decent service, but ultimately a forgettable experience

Excellent coffee; my favorite place for coffee ever

The best coffee in Springfield. 10/10. Lots of unique flavors for your coffee.

First time at this coffee, they have good coffee but limited to one cup, no refills. Pastries were great, not a huge display?? Employees very polite and efficient, hope they can survive in this covid economic climate!

Best hot chai tea in Springfield. Great service.

Great place for a cup of hot Java. Good scenery and Sprinfgield experience!

Good coffee and a fast, friendly barista!

Ill be going back soon to take advantage of the cold brew concentrate growler.

Love their favorite turtle frap! Hands down.

Good coffee but very high for coffee Starbucks is cheaper

Love the coffee! Service is fast and very friendly!

I had a wonderful dairy-free, sugar-free peppermint mocha cappuccino here.

The coffee was delicious and the service was fast and friendly. Love that they have a drive-thru so I dont have to take my kids in. I will definitely be going back!

Great coffee and cinnamon rolls.

Great customer service. Not a fan of their coffee.

Great little shop. Love the coffee and you must try a cinnamon roll! Friendly service too!

The coffee here never disappoint! Absolutely best spot for coffee in Springfield.

I have been coming to Dancing Mule Coffee company since 2009 and have never been disappointed. They make great coffee in the cafe has a great atmosphere. The location is also pretty close to a lot of shopping.

Great coffee,good prices, awesome service!

Sat in their dining area. Ordered a mocha ice latte, it was perfect and not too sweet. Quietly visited with family. Great coffee, atmosphere and exceptionally nice attentive staff. We all enjoyed our experience and will return.

Very nice Coffee house. Good service, awesome Coffee.

Finally open in the seating area. Support this place not Starbucks. #starbucksislame

This is a common haunt for me. Great, place to read and blog. Staff is helpful and friendly. Lighting is very comfortable. Oh, and you wont find a pour over closer to perfect. Best coffee in Springfield.

Great coffee a little expensive but they are great people so Ill keep coming back!

Very good coffee, especially for the money. A nice treat once in a while.

Amazing and fast service, friendly staff, and a good variety of drink options! Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Excellent coffee. Typical warm atmosphere. Polite staff. The maple pecan scone was perfect, if a bit biscuit tasting. That actually made it tastier.

Great coffee and food, staff super friendly and fully masked!

I had a business meeting over coffee and loved the latte and the chill (and toned down music) ambiance made this a much better place to chat than Starbucks. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is this: after the meeting I stayed to catch up on some work. An older employee (that I assumed may be an owner) seemed bothered that I remained in the nearly empty store for an hour or so after my meeting. He repeatedly stared at me and walked around my table with no real purpose.I often sip on coffee and work in coffeehouses and never experienced anything quite like this. It is hard to explain here, but it was odd behavior and he clearly wanted me to leave.Great latte - Great ambiance -Just dont go here to find a place to catch up on work. Once you finish your coffee, this particular employee may prefer you leave.

Fast service! Good coffee

I love this place! Excellent coffee, chai, and frappes and I love getting to support a locally owned business. Top one or two coffee shops in town!

Great coffee. Nice people. Little on the pricy side for specially drinks.

Drinks were delicious and staff was perfectly polite and professional

Some of the best coffee in town! They make quality drinks, have always been friendly, & have great snack options too.

Love the both the iced Turtle Mocha and Caramel Mocha.

Good stuff. Nice little local coffee spot.

Great coffee. Convenient drive through

Friendly service, great coffee options. Hot chocolate and apricot scones are my absolute favorites

Support local! The coffee here is amazing and always served with a smile.

Best coffee and chai latte Ive tasted in a very long time. New favorite coffee shop, and you cant beat the prices. Great customer service also.

Awesome coffee and great staff.

Came in today with the family. Tasty coffee. Great vibes here. Top notch service from the staff. You ladies rock! This is for sure my new favorite coffee shop. Love this place!

Very nice, very clean, very tasty! The atmosphere is great for studying and get togethers. The inside has pretty limited seating, but it helps theres a drive through!I got a regular coffee and a scone. The coffee was really good (well balanced and not very acidic, just the way I like it) and the scone was good (not very sweet but had lots of blue berries, I enjoyed it quite a bit!). I will defiantly be returning.

Great coffee, fair price.

Have been coming here since day 1. Still great after all these years. Awesome coffee and great staff. You can tell that the owners care and they keep a very clean and well run place. Great local place with great options. Love it.

Great staff. The aircraft mechanic makes a nice latte. Thanks

100x better than Starbucks and never a long wait or a wait at all when I’ve gone. The coffee is amazing, I’ve never been huge on trying new types of coffee, I’m a simple person, but their menu makes EVERYTHING sound good. Their customer service is AMAZING as well!!

Dancing Mule not only has some of the best coffee in Springfield their staff is friendly and helpful! Today was my first time going out for coffee after being put on a strict no dairy diet by my doctor. The staff suggested trying oat milk which is a new favorite! And as the icing on top their mocha is dairy free because they make it in house!

I used the drive thru. Fast and friendly staff. Latte was warm, not hot. Tasted average. Order was $4.20 for a 20oz drink. Then it was $5.08 at the window because they said they added a $0.50 flavor. I dont mind paying a higher price for some great coffee but, yikes. (3 stars)Re: Thank you, Randy. I appreciate you reaching out and offering a second try. I took you up on your replacement order and it was excellent. The owner is a humble guy and Im glad to do business with him. (5 stars)

Honestly the coffee here was terrible in comparison with the many other places I have been in Springfield.

I dont drink coffee, but I love their chai tea latte a, which seem to be just a little more creamy and a little more cinnamon-y than from the dual-tailed mermaid place that shall not be named. Staff here is always friendly, and service is very fast, even when they are busy. A great locally owned biz!!

The coffee is great and the staff is extremely helpful and friendly. The coffee is so good youll want to stay and have several cups, unfortunately seeding in this place is virtually nonexistent. The service and coffee are great, and so the place is always pact, leaving few opportunities to find a table and sit down and enjoy. However they make a great Cup of Jo so you need to go try it

Good drinks at affordable prices. Pleasant surroundings

This atmosphere is amazing, so chill and relaxed. Coffee quality is amazing!!!! And the baristas are all super friendly ❤

Tried Dancing Mule for the first time. I had always heard great things but just dont make it that far into Springfield most of the time. I drove from Nixa and it was WELL worth the drive!! My coffee was delightful, a ordered a special Christmas latte and it was just the right amount of sweet while still having that excellent coffee flavor. Greatest place Ive tried in awhile! Ill definitely be singing their praises and visiting again!

First time trying and Im in love.

Plenty of caffeine and flavor to be had here. A long standing coffee company. House made seasonal flavors keep things fresh and tasty. They also offer coconut milk as an alternative.

I must say their coffee is the best Ive had in a long time! Amazing staff as well!

Nice espresso coffees

Best local coffee right in my neighborhood

Great place to grab a coffee and study. The americano I had was spot on and the music was not too loud. Also a nice selection of hot teas and other drinks.

THE BEST coffee in town. Super friendly staff and chill environment. 100% reccomend the chai frappe.

Great coffee, great people, great food. Im not saying we travel all the way from Charlotte North Carolina just to visit the mule...but it always highly anticipated and it has never let us down

Amazing espresso drinks! The white chocolate and raspberry fandango was delicious along with the chocolate and peanut butter fandango as well

Just came in for the first time. First off, the coffee is sooo tasty, definitely a nice change up. Also, the owner was so friendly and welcoming. They will for sure see me again

The staff is very friendly. I had a Bob Marley latte and it was absolutely perfect. A delicate blend of chocolate, banana and coconut. The banana and coconut were subtly balanced to be noticeable without overpowering the chocolate in the latte. To top it off I had a delicious cranberry biscotti as a most welcome addition to my morning beverage.

Some of the best coffee in town! Lots of house made syrups and great flavor combos. Smoothies, teas, and pastries are also good.

Friendly staff, welcoming vibe! I Very much enjoyed my latte. They sell delicious looking pasrtries, too, but I didnt indulge. From the outside it doesnt look as inviting as it is on the inside. Eastward facing windows make for a pleasant place to savor your favorite brew. Like pulling up a chair at your neighbors kitchen table.

This is a wonderful little coffee shop that has an excellent choice of fairly priced coffee and breakfast snacks/pastries. The Dancing Mule Coffee shop uses Dillanos Coffee Roasters, which is a WA based company thats known for its premium roasted beans. If you ever get the chance, buy some coffee from the Dancing Mule Coffee shop and treat yourself to its outstanding aroma!

My vote is in: five glorious stars. I grabbed a medium roast pour over and had it served to me in a wonderfully inviting mug. The service was spot on and the atmosphere was on point. I even heard some fantastic music (M83) as I sipped slowly and savored the love. Start your day off right and treat yourself to a delicious cup of coffee from The Dancing Mule.

The coffee was definitely up to par in comparison to what the other reviewers have noted. I grabbed a Kona Mule Pour Over, spot on. The atmosphere is a bit ‘cold’ for hanging out for any duration of time. The loud 80’s pop music; bright lighting we’re not conducive to reading and hanging out for a while in my opinion. Great place to grab and go though!

Having just moved back to Springfield from Puyallup, WA, I missed the abundance of good mom and pop coffee shops. I was very happy to find Dancing Mule, not only do the have the atmosphere I missed but they source their beans from Dillanos in Sumner, WA (literally the next town over from Puyallup.) It was great to have a taste of the Northwest right here in Springfield.

Love the coffee here! They even have a drive through! Love how they switch up the menu. My husband loves the smoothies and hot cocoa. Definitely a great stop!

The coffee is very good and they offer alternate milk options.

The best coffee that me and my wife get! The best service and great prices! Every time we come to Springfield we come to dancing mule multiple times a day and we always leave with a bag of coffee beans! They need a location is STL so I can go daily!

This is our go-to coffee stop! The Dancing Mule has an amazing assortment of eats and coffee drinks that are all good. Our lattes are always served at JUST the right temperature, and you absolutely cannot go wrong starting your day off with a gently warmed sausage & cheddar cheese scone, which are always large, fluffy, and disappear so fast once they reach my hands!

Good coffee and friendly staff.

Dancing Mule is one of my favorite spots. I enjoy good coffee and espresso and dancing mule always has both. As a local business owner it is important to me to spend my money in other locally owned businesses. If you are on the east side you need to stop in!

The staff are always courteous, helpful, and prompt. Selection is full of great, high-quality products, and at fair prices. My partner and I come here often on weekends to enjoy the drinks, snacks, and atmosphere.

Dancing Mule is our go-to coffee shop in Springfield. The staff is consistently cheerful and accommodating, and the roast is consistently good, never burnt like a certain chains coffee.The baked goods are tasty and well-presented. LOVE the Dancing Mule!

Amazing coffee, great service, and tasty food! If youre looking to stop by a peaceful & cozy cafe, come to Dancing Mule! Best coffee I have ever had. Really great café!
