Sometimes the sound of your alarm can sound like someone hammering next to your ears and the thought of getting out of bed can seem like hiking Mount Everest. Mornings don’t have to be so hard though, and I have just the cure. Scooter’s two locations, here in Springfield, has all of your morning necessities. From coffee to breakfast, they’ve got you covered! 

After being a stay at home mom for a few years, Mary Rolf, one of the owner-operators, decided to head back into the workforce, but wanted the ability to make her own schedule. She decided to look into different franchise options and fell in love with Scooter’s franchise and opportunity. If you’ve ever tasted any of their coffees, including their homemade pumpkin flavor, then it’s easy to tell why she did! I had the chance to speak with Mary and actually go behind the scenes to watch them work diligently to serve their customers. They even let me make my own coffee!

Scooter’s serves a wide variety of blended, iced, and hot beverages ranging from smoothies, coffees, and teas. Their signature drink, the “caramelicous,” is a customer favorite and absolutely worth trying. They also have the typical coffee shop flavors including hazelnut, mocha, white mocha, caramel, peppermint, etc.. Sip into fall with their pumpkin flavored beverages and baked goods. What’s unique is that every drink on the menu is available blended, iced or hot, so you can always have it the way you’re craving it.

Their food menu is anything but small. They have pastries, muffins, cookies, breads, bagels, burritos, breakfast sandwiches, and according to Mary, the best cinnamon rolls in the game! They even have a healthy oatmeal options too. Pair their drink menu with their food and you’ve got the perfect morning meal, and you’ve got it fast! 

With one location on Sunshine Street and another on Campbell Ave, it’s convenient to add it into any morning commute. Their motto is, “amazing drinks, amazing people, amazingly fast,” and they try to keep the wait time in the drive-thru under 60-90 seconds. Say goodbye to long lines and having to choose between getting coffee or being on time to work. So, next time you’re on your way to work, or just need a morning pick-me-up, head on over to Scooter’s for all your breakfast needs.
