The Vanilla Bean

"Nice, family friendly ice cream and coffee shop with a large selection. They had so many ice cream flavors available. They kindly had GF stickers on the flavor tags to note which were gluten free - thank you for this! There is a kid area with games and coloring sheets. The TV was showing a family friendly movie. This was a great place to enjoy a sweet treat. Service was friendly and the shop was neat and clean."

"We had the best experiences at The Vanilla Bean. It is our nieces & nephews favorite ice cream place. A recent Friday night we had a group that included 7 teenagers and the staff was soo laid back and fun! The ice cream is incredible and we stop there every time we come to Springfield! It is also extremely affordable...we fed 9 people for $46!!! We strongly recommend!"

"Very cute ice cream store! I picked my flavor then asked for nut topping. Have drinks , ice cream, and baked goods, prepacked ice cream. Same strip mall as abes hideout ."

"The two girls working were awesome. Great ice cream! It's a hidden gem."
