5 Best Cafes in Cape Girardeau

“I’ll start off by saying I like sams club, and I know they chk receipts and I agreed to a membership allowing them to chk. But I will not wait behind 10-15 ppl standing in line to get my receipt looked at. I walked passed the ppl waiting cause my time is important. The lady checking receipt literally comes outside and stops me from walking. I told the lady I will not wait behind 10-15 ppl and she could not be outside stoping me from walking away. If your going to do this have more ppl checking receipts. But physically trying to stop someone from leaving is not the way to do business. My time is just as important as anyone else’s. If ppl choice to stand and wait that’s fine by me but if i choose not to wait don’t put ur hands on me or my stuff. Ur policy going to get someone hurt eventually.“

“I was staying at the Courtyard Marriott next door to this gem for a couple days (excellent hotel btw), and I visited this coffee shop twice while there. The first day was just a take out Americano, the service was good and the coffee was fantastic. I returned the next morning with more time and had breakfast (biscuits and gravy) and a pour over while I worked from their Delta Lounge-esque bar top tables (with power).

I can say that I will have to find excuses to return here for work as the experience was wonderful! Not only was the food good, the pour over was amazing. I could hear the manager (assumption) training someone on the way to prepare it. They presented the pour over on a tray with carafe instead of the unfortunately too common practice of just putting it in a regular coffee cup. They apologized for the delay even though a pour over takes time and you should not order one if you don’t have time. They asked me questions multiple times by name after my order (what coffee would you like to have Ryan, how is the pour over Ryan, etc…).

I am by no means a coffee snob, and just enjoy a nice slow cup of coffee when I have time to indulge. That being said, I hope the locals in Cape Girardeau are supporting this gem, because it is exactly that.

The fact that I am sitting here at 11:30 pm thinking about how I need to write this review should tell you what you need to know.

After I left the establishment, I returned to my hotel and encountered another guest in the elevator on my way back to my room. He saw the branded to-go coffee cup and said “that place is great isn’t it?”

If you are anywhere near Cape Girardeau and enjoy coffee, do yourself a favor and visit The Ground-a-bout….. you can thank me later!“

“The food was all delicious and the service was excellent as well! We tried both tomato and loaded potato soup and they were both very good. The panini’s and wrap were delicious as well. If you are looking for a cute place for a yummy lunch then you need to come check this place out!“

“i have been waiting for this place to open for a very long time. my husband took me there to get my childhood favorite daiquiri ice only to get told they don't carry it or the bubblegum one. what a let down. i just left and went and got shaved ice instead. as well as you aren't greeted at the door either and everyone looked miserable working there. it hasn't been open long enough to be that way. now i know why there was one car there. I DO NOT RECOMMEND ...........“

“Had a great experience at Panera today! The Turkey Bacon Bravo was delicious, the order was correct and produced in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend based on today’s experience!“
