Pickwick Ave., Springfield, 417-866-7500Best Reason to Go: Out-and-about Saturday lunch with the family What to Order: The menu at Tea Bar & Bites features creative takes on classic tea room fare (read: sammies, salads and sampler plates), and many of the dishes have a bit of a Mediterranean flair. The house ice tea has a hint of clove, the veggie pita has all the best Greek flavors, and the grilled mozzarella sandwich on focaccia has the perfect amount of pesto. But we recommend treating yourself to our fave: the Tea Bar Sampler with curry chicken salad, lime-and-thyme potato salad, soup of the day (cross your fingers for tomato-basil!) and a tiny little scone.

This little gem is tucked away in a quaint, historic section of the city that’s home to spas, antique shops, a patisserie and other retail and office space. The menu ranges from a light breakfast of granola and yogurt to dinner with wine and everything in between. A big selection of loose-leaf teas makes it tough to choose but once the choice is made, it’s brewed fresh and pairs well with everything on the menu.

If you want a subtle slice of peace among the hustle bustle of Springfield, maybe you should stop in and give it a try. For all of those who were sad about the Teavana shutdown, I would consider this a massive upgrade with their generous assortment of loose teas. Great place for your baked good cravers and it happens to be a gluten free friendly.
