If you don't want a chain coffee shop, this is your place to go in Joplin. There is a long list of coffee drink options and delicious smoothies. My daughter's favorite is "The Marilyn", but I like "The Van Gogh". My favorite smoothie is "The Dirty Monkey". The back room is perfect for study and meeting up with friends. They have a large selection of board games, too.

Great hamburgers! This is my husband's favorite place to go to for lunch with his friends. He says its "elevated bar food"! I would have to agree! They even have a shuffle board that you may want to check out.

Don't judge this one by the outside! This is gourmet food! Burgers are really amazing - you can even substitute Bison, Elk, Lamb $4 each for your meat! My favorites are any that include blue cheese. I also LOVE their salad. You may want to make reservations - it's a small restaurant!

ICE CREAM! It's a new, but old fashioned ice cream parlor. They have a rotating assortment of ice cream flavors. WIFI available, too! Another cool thing about this is that it's located in a beautiful historical building (called "The Gryphon Building" and across the hallway is an art gallery with local artisans, called "Local Color".

Parks & Nature

This is a great place to run or walk or just to get a little bit of nature while still "in the city". It's one of my favorite places to run. The gravel trail treks through scenic woodlands. The nearest place to park from our house - is at the Zora and St. Louis parking lot. There is a spur that shoots off from it that will take you across to a paved hilly section that connects over to Florida St.
