Cafe Moxo

Dear Santa 🎅:
All we want for Christmas is our Two Front Doors…OPEN! 🤷‍♂️

We haven’t had a ton of news to share, but rest assured we are working hard at bringing Moxo back to downtown.

We have some pivotal meetings over the next couple of weeks that might give us a clearer picture as to what our future timeline may look like. It seems like forever, but there are so many moving parts to all the buildings and businesses impacted. Until we know more, thank you to the entire community for the encouragement and support that we have received. We look forward to being able to serve and thank you in-person sometime soon.

Most important, please remember all of our businesses downtown as they are still there welcoming you with open doors and thank you’s!
It takes much more than a little fire, smoke and water to keep our town from getting down!! 💪

Out of the ashes Café Moxo hopes to reopen by year’s end

First and foremost, from the bottom of Moxo’s
broken heart, we want to thank the community for the outpouring of support. It truly never ceases to amaze me what an incredible community we share. Not only in times of celebrations but especially during times of unexpected crisis, you all step up and offer unwavering support. Genuinely my family could not be more grateful at this time.

It is with a very heavy heart that we must report that due to the recent fire we are now closed indefinitely until our building has been given the green light to go in and start our assessment of losses and the time it will take to repair.

We will reach out to all of our customers that have future pending orders as soon as we are able. Your patience and understanding is invaluable to us during this time.

Thank You Moxo community, we LOVE you and look forward to serving you again.

With Respect and Love,
Mark, Shawna and Baker Forinash

Our newest sandwich tray featuring 10 ham, turkey, roast beef, chicken salad and sunshine veggie sandwich all served on our croissants.
Moxo crafted dressings and mayo’s will be served on the side so you may mix and match your favorite.

In case you wonder sometimes what Visit Springfield does, this is a prime example of how they try to spread the word about our town.
We thank you for how hard you work, we thank you for including us amongst these great businesses and we thank you for making our community stronger!

Last month we released our everything bagel (beef brisket, Moxo wildberry bbq, egg, jalapeno popper cream cheese, onion tanglers).
This weekend, everything is going on downtown:
- PrideFest 2024
- 1st Sat Farmer’s Market
- Old State Capitol Art Fair
- ……just to name a few.
Come downtown all weekend long for some old favorites and to make some new memories.
Don’t forget - some streets will be two-way, one-way and no-way but all of our streets have businesses that are all-the-way ready for you!!

I gotta hunch that you are gonna need some brunch!! Maybe you are in charge of a bridal shower, wedding shower or birthday party. Whatever, we got ya!
Contact [email protected] or call 217-788-8084, press 0 and ask for Brandon.

We love our customers….but I gotta share a first with you:
“John Doe” ordered a Southwest Chicken Cobb Salad with our chipotle vinaigrette today and forgot to tell us they were a vegan. They said we could just take off the chicken, bacon and cheese and it would be fine.
I let them know that the egg and the vinaigrette(made with honey) would not be vegan, but they were ok with that. 🤦🏻‍♂️
Ummm, I’m not the smartest fella but I’m probably not going to ask our chef to pick all that bacon and chicken and cheese off the salad.
Bottom line - you do you, which is exactly why we love what we do…but we’re gonna do us and make you a new salad exactly how you want it…no questions asked.
Thanks for choosing Moxo and if you order a southwest cobb salad, this is what you are going to get.
You want a vegan salad, sandwich or soup we can handle that too.
And if you wanna be vegan’ish, we will be here for you too!!

Hey yo’, Chilled Tomato Gazpacho is back!!
Yep, it’s dairy free.
Sure, it’s vegetarian.
Sweet, it’s even vegan!!!!
Come by, sample if you wanna and look forward to its daily return.

Well Hello Yellow!
Not only has there been years of transformation indoors for our neighbors Kidzeum of Health and Science within the Adams Street District - Adams Family…they are providing an early look into their exterior transformation as well.
Stay tuned to flap and clap as they begin to spread their wings….

Holy Cow, do we have beef with you!! 😱
These two beauts are now our sandwich leaders going into the final stretch of the month:

There is a ton of action, good food and drinks for all ages.

Tons of places to get your corned beef from between now and Sunday.
I’m not sure where your favorite might be, but The Leprechaun(toasted marbled rye, house braised corned beef brisket, moxo 1001 island dressed slaw and holy Swiss) began 2/1 and continues through Sat 3/16.

If you plan on coming to the parade Sat and want one…order online and we will have it ready
If you plan on not coming to the parade, might I suggest visiting tomorrow
If you aren’t in to corned beef and you’ve read up until here….you will never get this time back!

Normally, it’s Baa..but Sat 3/16 it’s Naa!
I consulted my farm animal sound handbook (google) and yes, it is sheep that make that sound and not a goat….so the animal pictured is a sh’oat for the purpose of this post. 🤦🏻‍♂️
All we know is we are not the greatest of all delivery (GOAD) this Sat due to the St Patrick’s parade festivities downtown.
Sat 3/16 NOPE - delivery & curbside 😢
Sat 3/16 YEP - outdoor & indoor dining, takeout 👏🏻🎉
We will be open 6:30a-3p and we hope to see you donning your ☘️ and enjoying everything downtown has to offer you and your family this Saturday!!!

Happy 13th anniversary Brandon! 🎉🥳
Thank you for the bakers dozen of years for allowing me to work by your side!
It has been a really fun ride watching you grow both professionally and personally. I’d like to think that I had a bit of something to do with your growth and talent of running a restaurant, but those who know him would agree that he didn’t need my help…he just needed me to get out of his way!
From my family to you and yours, thank you for all that you do for our company, our employees and our community.

Menu changes hitting today


Roasted and carved beef brisket, jalapeno popper cream cheese, onion tanglers and our wildberry bbq sauce on our toasted french hoagie.
