Three delicious meals served up and sampled at 3 Cafe
Reminder Publications dined on organic delights at 3 Cafe at 684 Belmont Ave.

SPRINGFIELD — So how many local restaurants use eggs from their own organically raised flock of chickens?
As far as I know, there’s only one: 3 Cafe at 684 Belmont Ave.
Owner and chef Cathie Albrecht has established a cozy neighborhood breakfast and lunch spot with a real difference. Albrecht features home baked breads and lovingly created desserts as well as seasonal dishes that showcase locally grown produce.
The desserts are prepared three ways — a regular recipe and then a vegan version as well as a gluten-free one.
Accompanied by staffers Courtney Llewellyn and Mike Briotta, we tried out the 3 Cafe offerings last week. With only seven tables in the spot — there is an outdoor dining area during the warmer months this is a restaurant where personal service is truly part of the dining experience.
Cathie was recently featured on our local PBS affiliate, WGBY Springfield, on the On the Menu Program.
She prepares a fresh garlic and tomato bruschetta, a squash blossom, zucchini and goat cheese frittata and finally some fruit filled tarts with fresh whipped cream. You can watch the whole show at the WGBY web site! CLICK HERE.

“[Three Cafe] makes a wicked good seven grain bread, tomato and ravioli soup, peach scone and pumpkin muffin…the kind of food that goes to the heart as well as the belly.” Urban Compass
Conveniently located in historic Forest Park in Springfield, Three Cafe offers breakfast all day, plus a delicious selection of sandwiches, wraps, soups, salads, desserts, outstanding coffees & more. Owner and master chef Cathie Albrecht has given this beloved little cafe a new life, and serves up her own locally adored recipes from Auntie Cathie’s Kitchen.
We use eggs from our own flock of free-range, organically fed chickens & our own organically grown produce from spring through fall. And we now offer a wide selection of delicious vegan & vegetarian meals.
