Artessence

Artessence is a spa and oasis right in the middle of Springfield. Truly a transformative experience. I'm so glad we found this place. The staff is friendly and service was impeccable. They offer a full menu and I know we'll be trying more, but we stopped by today for coffee and dessert. I had the Samuel's Coffee. It is a double expresso with milk of your choice and honey. Bold and soothing at the same time. We also tried the Coconut cake. Amazing-moist, light sweet, just the perfect hint of coconut. It rivals any cake I've had in Jacksonville. The decor and music make this a place where you could simply stay for hours. They provide colored pencils and actually invite you to color. I did. It was like dessert therapy. On the way out, I discussed not only returning, but making this a weekly stop. This is not just a great place to eat. You could walk out truly refreshed as well. Highly recommend you give them a try.

This seems like a new and upcoming cafe. The theme is "art" to put it simply. They have a very cool space here in Springfield, showcasing artistic vibes and homages to infamous artists. The cafe is decorated with local art and re-prints from familiar artists like Van Gogh, Picasso, and Dali. The best part is you can participate in some coloring as they have plenty of print outs ready for you to color using their collection of color pencils. They set up the space to be very cozy yet eclectic. They have ample seating, whether at a high top, regular table, and/or on a cozy couch. They also have a lot to park in right next to the building or you can opt for on-street parking along Main St.As far as the coffee, unfortunately there is work to be done. I was not impressed with the latte, especially given the price I paid for 2 coffees and 2 sandwiches, nearly $40+ The coffee was watery and easily forgettable, which is very unfortunate. The food was much more impressionable. My keto wrap had turkey, lettuce, tomato, and guacamole. I did not love the guacamole, it was brownish in color and the taste was not great. My husband enjoyed his salmon bagel, his favorite part was the chips on the side - he said they were very tasty. They had a few items in the bakery case such as cookies and muffins so if I come back I may just opt for a sweet treat. It seems this place is still finding its footing so hopefully things improve.

This Hidden Gem of a Coffee Cafe is no doubt one of my favorite places to Chill after a long Week thanks to the environment they have created or just for a Mid Week Lunch Spot with their delicious food menu, fresh coffee & other refreshing drinks. Diana & Jonathan are 2 of the Best, Kind Hearted People You will ever Meet and You will know exactly what I mean once you come to the Shop for coffee, breakfast, lunch or all 3! They Deserve The Community's Support More than Ever with So Many Local Small Businesses closing their doors. Look for the Big Rich Sticker and Let them Know Big Rich Sent Ya and spread the word about this Place!!

Update: Owners Reply is False Information. I do not have any friends that own any establishments. I did not say any words to you either as my wife placed the order. Moreover, my profile picture has been the same and has remained the same for over a year now. Yelpers can verify this by clicking on my picture and on the bottom left it says "over a year ago." AND I've uploaded proof of purchase. You have been caught in your lie.

Super cute spot! Artsy! Great place to chill, chat with a friend, or do some work. Great location and lots of options. Staff is super friendly!

Fantastically relaxing inside with great soothing music and coloring pages to relax. Had a yummy hot mocha coffee and a bite of the deliciously decadent coconut cake. Wow, the coffee was perfect, not too sweet and the cake was over the top delicious. The cake was moist and spongy. The icing was thick, sweet and complimented the cake perfectly. Service was warm and welcoming from arrival to departure. A couple of table options outside and different seating options inside including couches, soft chairs, and typical high tables. So many other options to return to enjoy, a real gem In Springfield.

The owners were just has friendly and helpful with ordering as the first time I came. My sister ordered a caramel frappe and swore out she'd never had a frappe with as much caramel and when you mixed with the coffee the blend was perfect.I got the Keto breakfast and it was so savory. It starts with sausage, cheese, egg and bacon top's it off!My coffee was perfect and I love they ask how many sugars and creamers and mix it before bringing it to the table.I'm not one to color but my sister loved the coloring page they provided and actually needed to use the pencil sharpener!

I can't believe this place only has three reviews, maybe it's brand new, but I'm not sure. Coffee shops are by far my favorite places to stop in for, I think I saw someone post a review about this place on Facebook and just the picture really caught my attention so track it down to give it a shot. As far as the decor goes This place is very picturesque, I came in early in the morning on a weekday and I'm pretty sure it was the owners that were there they were super nice, as far as coffee goes I really feel like they're menu gives you the type of options outside of the normal that you might be looking for didn't know you wanted to try, the sandwich I had was also amazing It was a sausage egg and cheese but it came on a rosemary bread that was super soft and tasty if you're a big fan of unique coffee shops and you're in the Jacksonville area you'll definitely want to stop by for this one.

Super welcoming by the lovely couple who are serving us. The menu is easy to read with pictures and they are open to any modifications on the drinks. I'm excited to try the white mocha frappe (with coffee and espresso) and come back on another day for the Raphael salad. The shop is comfortable and has plants of seating to eat or enjoy your drinks.

I loved this place. The ambiance, the owners, the food...just a great place I will definitely go back to and recommend to everybody.
