Everything is delicious and 100% vegan - Edit
Polymath Cafe is a really nice, unexpected surprise inside the Library Center. They offer a variety of teas and specialty coffee. Their vanilla caramel iced coffee is the best I've had anywhere. The food menu varies, but everything I have ever tried has been full of flavor and delicious. Usually deli or sunbutter w/raspberry jam sandwiches are on hand, and you can request one if not. My favorites are the creamy macaroni salad, chili, lasagna, goulash, loaded taco salad and loaded nachos. They usually have fresh from the oven cinnamon rolls and lots of gluten free treats, like fresh baked cookies. Follow their fb page https://www.facebook.com/PolymathTLC for updates on what they have each day, or you can call ahead 1-417-616-0660.

Located in the library - Edit
The owner is incredibly friendly. We were surprised to find that it is a cafe located in the library, but it kind of made it unique. The cinnamon bun was delicious. We also had the nachos, pretzel, premade dinner, and soup.

Thank you. I'm hoping that maybe you got to make it to Treehouse or one of those other delicious places during your travel back.

Great little cafe! - Edit
Such a nice little spot for vegan dining. It’s right off highway 44 and easy to get to for those traveling. The owner is super friendly and very accommodating. Try the chili and BBQ tempeh sandwich, if available!

Great lasagna, even better restaurant owner! - Edit
What a lovely surprise in Marshfield, MO!
Read moreI just stopped by the fully vegan / plant-based Polymath Educational Café in Marshfield, MO and had the most delicious vegan lasagna!
Michelle is so wonderful and kind, and we got to chat during my little pit-stop during my cross-country road trip! The menu has tempeh sandwiches, chickpea sandwiches, cinnamon rolls, oatmeal, baked goods, and several other delicious options. Michelle is expanding the place to make a meeting room available too! I highly recommend this spot for anyone passing through Missouri or local folks in the area.
Extra-special bonus: She also gave me snacks for the road and extra coffee 😊 can’t rave about this place and Michelle enough! Make sure to stop by!!
Pros: Reasonable prices, Kind staff, Delicious food options
Cons: Small menu
