For folks asking. Yes, we will be donating a percentage of our sales to LUCE. https://www.lucemass.org/

After a brief and much needed hibernation, we have emerged from our cozy little slumber like a caffeinated groundhog with opinions ☕️🐿️

The break was nice.
The rest was real.
But this dumpster show of a world keeps going and so shall we 🔥

We are back this weekend and staying warm with our latest drink special.

Introducing To Hell With Ice
A Hot Latte Movement 🔥☕️

This drink is for people who love hot coffee even in the summer. For people who look at ice and think, why dilute joy with cubes of uselessness that only take up space that could be filled by more coffee. We can make it cold. Just do not ask for ice. ❄️🚫

It starts with a rich base of our famous dulce sauce.
We add freshly ground cinnamon, a restrained but noticeable hint of cayenne, and a few extra spices designed to warm and deepen. It is warm, rich, a little spicy, and absolutely committed to melting you from the inside out. 🌶️🤎

We also want to be clear.
Shooting people in the face is unhinged.
The world feels like it is burning, and we are just a humble coffee company trying to understand our place in the middle of all this insanity.
We cannot keep moving through our days as if everything is fine when it clearly is not.
We also know we are not equipped to fix what is broken at that scale.

So we start where we can.
With warmth.
With coffee.
With conversation.
With community. 🖤

With a space where people can show up as they are, sit together, and acknowledge that things feel heavy without having to pretend otherwise.

Come commiserate with us this weekend.
Drink something hot.
Sit for a while.
To hell with ice. 🔥☕️

We used to get upset at made up reviews like this one. But now, we just really enjoy responding to them.

Guys, come to our not third wave, crappy customer service coffee shop this weekend. We will try to give you bad coffee and bad customer service 😂😂😂

ps. “Third wave” is an outdated 90s term. We’re not a 90s coffee shop. We’re specially-grade, coffee roasters. Get that third wave out of our face!

Well said! You know it comes from the same source 😘

Happy New Year✨

Dear Springfield & the Pioneer Valley,

We accept the fact that you see us as a café.
The people who make your food and brew your coffee.
A place you come to eat, drink, meet, and move on.

That is what you see.

What you don’t see is that everything that happens here is intentional.

Behind this place is the coffee roaster.
The master chef.
The social scientist.
The longtime charming businessman.

People who pay attention to how rooms feel. To how energy shifts. To how sound, light, food, and timing shape the way people connect. Running a place like this takes more than being open for business. It takes care. It takes curiosity. It takes believing that spaces can change people.

And we are not alone in this.

Surrounding us is a freeze drier who is also an OR nurse and carries a depth of perspective most of us will never see. A butcher who studied his craft in Rome and is so committed to tradition and preparation that it shows in every cut. A growing marketplace powered by women owned businesses whose presence changes the energy of the room. A collective of books, decor, and ideas that continues to take shape, with more to come in the year ahead.

This is an experiment.
This is a collective.
This is possibility.

We believe food and coffee are just the beginning. Through events and moments, we work to lift our businesses and our city at the same time. To fight stigma. To create memories. To make room for people of all walks of life. To believe that change is possible and that becoming better usually starts with learning and changing your mind.

You can define us however you want. In the simplest terms. In the most convenient categories.

What we know is this.
We are more than a café.
We are building a better way forward.
We are carving out a legacy rooted in people, creativity, and care.

As one year closes and another begins, we have so much more planned. New ideas. New experiences. New moments that continue to shape what this place can become and who it can empower.

Happy New Year.
Sincerely,
The Brood Breakfast Club

We brought back Ube Baby One More Time 💜 available at

Ube sauce (tastes like cookies and cream) with a dark chocolate cold foam 👌🏽

Here for one weekend only.

This was our second most requested special.

We have one more weekend to go before we close for a week, what special sauce from the past would you like to see?

So you blinked and missed the barrel-aged Geisha. It happens.

Before you spiral, we did what we do best and kept going. With the last of our barrel-aged Paideia Geisha on hand, we paired it with an absolutely lush, creamy, anaerobic-processed coffee from Venezuela. Curiosity won. Again.

The result is Interlude. A Paideia experiment that lives in the space between elegance and indulgence, with floral aromatics, gentle bourbon warmth, and a round, velvety body.

Still evolving in flavor.
And yes, it is absolutely worth every penny.
