Polymath Educational Cafe - Marshfield

Polymath Cafe is a really nice, unexpected surprise inside the Library Center. They offer a variety of teas and specialty coffee. Their vanilla caramel iced coffee is the best I've had anywhere. The food menu varies, but everything I have ever tried has been full of flavor and delicious. Usually deli or sunbutter w/raspberry jam sandwiches are on hand, and you can request one if not. My favorites are the creamy macaroni salad, chili, lasagna, goulash, loaded taco salad and loaded nachos. They usually have fresh from the oven cinnamon rolls and lots of gluten free treats, like fresh baked cookies.

A vegan cafe in a library! proof positive that veganism is the smart choice. super friendly, knowledgeable, caring staff. lots of prepackaged treats that i’ve never even seen anywhere else! try the vegan stroopwaffles!

The owner is incredibly friendly. We were surprised to find that it is a cafe located in the library, but it kind of made it unique. The cinnamon bun was delicious. We also had the nachos, pretzel, premade dinner, and soup.

New main location in Springfield, MO. Updated from previous review on 2022-10-14
