For our Sunday family coffee outing, we decided to find somewhere new to try and ended up at Milk & Honey Coffee Cafe. We found they have a decent variety of different house made syrups. We only got coffee, but I was tempted to also try their cruffins (croissant muffins). 

I had a Maple Sea Salt Latte. Mom had a Lavender Vanilla Latte. Dad had a Rosemary Vanilla Latte (don't recommend as you cannot even taste the rosemary). Mik had an Iced Banana Foster Latte.

Our Koffee Trail & Route 66: Midway Coffee Co.

Date of Visit: May 4, 2026

Location: Midway Coffee Co, Waynesville, MO

Rating: ❤️ (Love)

As we hit the road this morning, we searched for coffee on the route. Midway Coffee Co. came up as the first one that would be open as we passed by. It turned out to be very conveniently located on the frontage road between two exits (also Route 66 goes along the interstate on opposite side in this area). They also have a good variety of regular specialties and seasonal spring drinks.

Dad got the When the Sun Goes Down (white coffee, bourbon caramel, toasted marshmallow, mocha drizzle) from the Spring Menu.

I got the Awesome Blossom (white chocolate, banana, amaretto, sea salt caramel drizzle) also from the Spring Menu.

We did not plan to stop at another coffeeshop right after having visited The Coffee Ethic, but our next stop finding the Springfield 66 Statues led us to parking at Kingdom Coffee to walk the short trail over to the Night Riders of the Mother Road statue.

Dad and I both had a Lavender Sage Latte.

Our Koffee Trail: Joplin Greenhouse Outpost Coffee

Date of Visit: May 1, 2026

Location: Joplin Greenhouse Outpost Coffee, Diamond, MO

Rating: ❤️ (Love)

We almost missed checking out the Joplin Greenhouse Outpost Coffee. We noticed it on our way to George Washington Carver National Monument and then almost did not stop on the way back to Springfield as Dad was more focused on looking for a place to stop for lunch than just getting coffee. As we passed it, I told him it might also have food, so he turned around. We also almost missed trying it out because it was only about half an hour before they closed for the day. Glad we didn't miss it as we really enjoyed it and got a bag of decaf coffee for home.

Dad had a Spring Flat White (blueberry, lavender). I had a Blueberry Cobbler Latte (blueberry, white mocha, brown sugar).

Dad also enjoyed the Brunch Wrap.

Our Koffee Trail & Route 66: Rise & Grind Coffee Station

Date of Visit: April 29, 2026

Location: Rise & Grind Coffee Station, Miller, MO

Rating: 👎 (Never Again)

Rise & Grind Coffee Station was one of our stops on our day exploring Route 66 from Springfield, MO to Joplin, MO. This was one place we wish we had skipped. For one, they did not have decaf. I do not mind having regular coffee every once in a while, but it ended up being served burning tongue and too hot to hold and did not even taste good (hot or when cooled off).

Dad had the Hot Mess Espresso (White Mocha, Vanilla, Toasted Marshmallow, Sweet Cream Foam).

I had the Pretty Little Poison (Brown Sugar Syrup, Cinnamon, Cold Foam). There are coffees I like more than others, but very rare that I do not even want to finish the coffee. Not sure if it was the coffee or the cold foam, which I am not sure I have ever had before, but cannot imagine it was the flavor I choose because I have had brown sugar syrup and cinnamon before and liked it.
