"🍞Sleepy Opossum Café – Cozy Neighborhood Brunch in Springfield, MO We stopped by Sleepy Opossum Café on a weekend morning for brunch and really enjoyed the warm, friendly neighborhood feel. The café was buzzing — we waited about 30 minutes, but the wait staff was kind and welcoming, which made the time fly by. For our meal, we ordered a quiche, the “Breakky Salad”, and a side of biscuit and gravy. I especially loved my salad — fresh greens, tasty toppings, and a slice of their homemade rosemary bread that tasted just like it was baked with love. The quiche was a little dry for my taste, and the biscuit ended up being firmer than I hoped, but they were earnest, comforting dishes. 🌿 Sleepy Opossum Café is a charming, cottage-core–style breakfast spot in Springfield. The owner built the café with local, seasonal ingredients in mind.  It’s known for creative, made-from-scratch breakfast fare — think quiches with hashbrown crusts, cozy breakfast bowls, and fresh roasted eggs.  ✅ Pros • Friendly, welcoming service that makes you feel at home. • Cozy, vintage-inspired atmosphere with fun, eclectic decor.  • Homemade rosemary bread is a standout. • Variety in menu: from quiche and salad to creative breakfast bowls. ⚠️ Cons • Menu items like the quiche can be a bit dry. • Biscuits may be firmer than expected — softer might be better. • When it’s busy (like brunch hours), wait times go up and seating fills quickly. 💡 Tips • Visit during off-peak hours (weekday morning or early weekend) to avoid the longer wait. • Try the homemade breads — especially the rosemary bread — as a side or with your salad. • Ask the staff for menu suggestions — they’re friendly and know their dishes well. Sleepy Opossum Café feels like a warm, welcoming corner of Springfield where you can slow down, savor comforting flavors, and enjoy a little nostalgia. Even if a few dishes didn’t hit perfectly, the heart behind it is what makes it a favorite neighborhood brunch spot — and I’ll happily come back for another cozy morning.☕️"

"Brunch today - what a cute place! The staff were all friendly, the coffee was good and the food was unique and good, very fresh."

"BEST chai latte I have ever had! The service was great, the eclectic menu offered a variety of choices. We each got a different bowl, and they were suberb. The different flavors melded perfectly. We will be back!"

"This is such a cute place! We were in Springfield for a baby shower and stopped here one of our mornings and could not have been happier! We got the Apple of my Eye which was soooo good! We weren’t going to order it originally but our waitress suggested and man were we glad! It was amazing! We also got a breakfast sandwich which was the best one I had in YEARS! We also got one of their signature lattes and a London foggy and both were great. My sister is a coffee snob and wanted to go back every day we were there just for the latter alone. We picked up some pasties when checking out and those didn’t disappoint either. If you are wanting different, fresh and good food it’s definitely worth the stop!"

"My sister was getting her car repaired and we decided to give Sleepy Possum a try. So glad we did. We prefer inventive breakfast food and that's exactly what we got. My hash brown bowl had scrambled eggs, radish pico, nasturstium pico and a drizzle of chili oil. The biscuits are a little more cakey then flakes, but truly delicious. We guessed that they were made with cream. So happy we had the perfect opportunity to try it out."
