"Atmosphere is rustic and simple. Local art is a nice touch. Thoroughly enjoyed my cinnamon roll with maple cream cheese. Truly fabulous. My only note is the sticker shock as donuts were $7 a piece and $5 for a standard cup of coffee. I suppose time and the community will determine if this is a good value. Recommend."

"Blue Heron Bakery has some of the best baked goods in Springfield! Overall, the flavor and quality is very high and never disappoints; however, their prices are pretty steep. The service is always good when we go and there is plenty of space. My most recent trip, we had their Apple Spice Cinnamon Bun, which came with Maple Cream Cheese Frosting. We also had their Ham and Cheese Toastie and their Mushroom/Herby Cheese rolled bun. Everything tasted great! I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a high quality baked good with a European flair to it!"

"I was greeted promptly and with a friendly smile. I had never been there before and the sweet girl at the counter took the time to explain my options and she answered all my questions! I ordered the sausage, egg and cheese croissant. It was so delicious! I also got some baked goods to go. They were well packaged for travel and every single thing was obviously well made with care and love! I would not hesitate to recommend and I will definitely be a return customer!"

"Craveable delicious foods. We loved the apple cider donuts and the cinnamon bun. Excellent coffee. The staff was kind enough to give it to me in a for-here cup (because it just tastes better that way!) And I love the pre-made drinks in the refrigerator by the counter - with those delectable flavors I was more likely to grab a drink I didn’t have to wait for. What a cute cafe and a great experience!"

"A little back story to go with my 5/5 star review. About 8 years ago I was pregnant for the first time, and with twins! I had few cravings because I was so sick. But one day I wanted a chocolate filled donut. I went to krispy kreme and at the time they didn't have any so I settled for raspberry filled. That is when the ultimate craving was born- a delicious donut filled with chocolate AND raspberry, every where I searched I couldn't find it. So I emailed donut makers but never heard back. And because donuts really are not the healthiest staple in ones diet the craving was put to bed. However over the years anywhere we would travel through out the US and Europe when a donut would catch my eye, my heart would skip a beat, could there be potential? I was hopeful! After several years and donut trends such as bombolini, rolled croissants, brioche etc I didn't think it was possible. Then one day I stumbled upon a Blue Heron, on Facebook. Because of my work schedule at the time their open hours didn't match with mine. But finally one Friday I rearranged my schedule only to be greatly disappointed to realize they only have their donuts on Saturday & Sunday, so we settled for their sandwiches and buttery/crunchy "croissants". Because the location of the Cafe is on a side of town where energy can feel dark at times, I left it at that and didn't plan on returning. Fast forward to this past Saturday, my kids wanted donuts so of course we stop at a typical donut location which was just that typical- taste one, you've tasted them all. And because we had a few moments to spare Blue Heron came to mind, so as most of Commercial street was still asleep we picked up our donuts and headed home... The moment I picked up the raspberry chocolate truffle in my hands, I knew something was different. It felt heavy, with filling brimming at it seams! I took a bite and to my great surprise all of my unmet craving expectations over the last 8 years came to fulfillment. It was the perfect fix. Chocolatey Chocolate cream was deliciously paired with a tart fresh raspberry jam, it was worth every cent and more! Thank you!!"
