Paint Box Cafe

What a find this place is! Great tasting and selection of food, daily specials and welcoming staff in this cafe! Going back soon, but wish I would have found this place earlier on 😆. Stop in, you won't be disappointed.

We stopped by twice while vacationing at Margarittaville. It was so nice to get a break from the fried food/bar food to eat a delicious and fresh lunch right down the road. The cookies were amazing too! The atmosphere was perfectly eclectic and welcoming. Definitely recommend!

Perfect place to grab some sandwiches for a day out on the boat exploring the Ozarks. We tried the Annie-O panini and Berried Treasure sandwich. The bacon on the panini was delicious! Definitely recommend! So friendly there!

So good! Like going to that grandmother's house that knows how to cook! Repurposed vibe that's tastefully decorated with a relaxing atmosphere. Great people too.
I'm tempted to sat don't get the carrot cake so there's more for me! But it's all amazing! And so happy to support a small local business!
Couldn't wait to eat. So the picture is of my empty plate.

A great place for a weekday brunch or lunch. Sandwiches and salads are a work of art with a taste to match. The citrus water is also very refreshing.

The inside is unique and cozy. The owner is super nice and helpful. We stop here every November during vacation.

The best place for Artisan style Sandwiches, Panini's, Soups and Salads!! Oh and don't forget the scrumptious homemade treats (cookies, carrot cake, muffins) Great antique atmosphere. Genuinely nice owner and staff!! This is a hidden gem at the Palisades center in Osage

Amazing every time! I don't even like sandwiches as a rule, but I love everything here! Such kind service and a relaxing atmosphere. Couldn't ask for a better lunch haven!

Absolutely amazing spot for lunch. We stopped here on our way through town and the food was just wonderful. This place is just adorable. The chicken salad was some of the best I have had. We will definitely be back next time we are at the lake.

Stopped for lunch randomly and really enjoyed it! I would definitely stop again if ever back in the area! Had a panini and some soup, while my wife had a panini and salad.

I’ve been coming to this place for years! One of the best spots at the Lake!

Today I had lunch at this wonderful cafe with 5 family members. The food was delicious, the bread on the sandwiches was delicious and the atmosphere was great. The owner came out and gave us some history. There were a group of ladies in the back playing cards and having fun. I would go back a lot if I lived here!

First time in the lake of the Ozarks and this cafe is a must! Sandwich has homemade bread ❤ And was amazing!! Definitely has a hometown feel (where all the locals go but not seen by tourists). Chef/owner came to our table to talk to us which was pretty cool! Great food. Great service. Great environment. Definitely would go back!

Cute little place to eat. The food was delicious, I got a sandwhich and my wife got a bowl of soup. The serving size was worth the price. Not only is it delicious but it wasn't too expensive and it's close to the Lake Regional Hospital. This is definitely a hidden gem. 10/10 would recommend.

Amazing food! It was really good! I got the Nathan's #1, best sandwich I've ever eaten. Great people there too! Service was fast and friendly. Really loved coming here, since it was a rainy day and me and my family are trying to enjoy our vacation. Definitely a highlight of the day!

Food was very good! I got the chicken salad on their ‘Paint Box bun’ and the bread was so fresh and fluffy. The chicken salad was just chicken, celery, white grapes and mayo nothing too crazy. Which I liked, I don’t usually like crazy ingredients in my chicken salad. I also got their ham and cheese bread, which was this little delicious roll with cheddar and ham inside. And the peanut butter chocolate chip cookies which were fresh and delicious too. We’ll definitely be stopping here again before we head out of the Ozarks. My favorite lunch spot here so far!

If I could give this place 10 stars I would! We stopped in for a late lunch just before their closing time and were absolutely blown away by the service, the food, and especially the ambiance. The carrot cake alone is reason enough to go out of your way to check this adorable spot out.(And I mean seriously, the best carrot cake we have ever had) This is one of those places you just want to come, sit, and truly enjoy the company of whoever you are with. Even if you are there by yourself, it is such a homey and cozy place that you will probably end up chatting away with your neighbor or even maybe the owner if he is there. You can taste the love that they put into their menu, and I can't recommend them enough!

Stopped here for lunch today. The food, atmosphere, decor, and owner/staff were all superb! What a gem! We will back when in town!

What a sweet cafe! We stumbled upon this place and we're so glad we did. The sandwiches were amazing and had the most delicious bread. Along with the tasty food, the space was quite charming, as was the pleasant chat with the owner. We will definitely be going back in the future.

Food was excellent, as usual! I get the Savannah Salad, but the Sandwiches are Awesome too! If you've never been, you need to go! Say Hi to Dale😊

Friendly staff, clean, quiet - able to visit without having to talk over loud music. The food is so good. I had a half sandwich and half salad. The combination of flavors in both sandwich and salad were wonderful. Next time I'm at the lake I will be sure to have lunch there. Oh, the bakery goods are fantastic too! Had to take some home!
