My wife and I ate their today (9 Mar 17) and we thoroughly enjoyed it. From the outside, it looks very small. Once you get inside it opens up to nearly 4 times the appearance from outside. It is a nice cafe with a country home cooking feel. The food was really good. I had the chicken taco soup and the southwestern salad. The soup was hearty with a very light bite. The salad came with a zesty ranch that was really tasty. We were greeted as we came in, ordered at the counter and sat down. We had conversation and enjoyed the atmosphere. This is the place that has regulars consistently dining with them. We really enjoyed our short time and we're happy we stopped. If we are back in that area, we will definitely go back and try something else on the menu or take home some cookies or scones that were in the case at the counter!
What a lovely Trip Advisor find! We wanted local & unique. That is exactly what we got. I had the soup & sandwich combo. It was very tasty! We shared the carrot cake- amazing. I highly recommend this place.
Our group of ladies have eaten here several times. We've played Bunco or just sat and talked. The food is delicious and atmosphere is so inviting. The host/owner is always so pleasant and welcoming. I'd recommend coming here anytime.
The Paint Box Cafe is a wonderful place to visit and eat! It's relaxing, yet energizing, so much cuteness in one place! They make you feel like family as you are enjoying anything on their delicious menu!
Was a great experience. Food just wonderful. Owner a delight to talk to, so friendly! Thanks. We will be back!!
My #1 favorite place to eat at the lake! Unique, high quality, DELICIOUS food! And try the carrot cake - you will thank me!
ALWAYS LOVE it here! You cannot make a wrong selection. Friendliest Service and a delightful decor to match the menu. My favorite lunch place.
My friend and I ate here today and loved it! Great food and the owner sooo nice! Will definitely return!

I have been there for showers and birthday parties. I have also enjoyed several lunches there. Everything was wonderful and the service was great. The menu selections would take care of anyone's desires.
Great place to eat
The meatloaf sandwich is amazing! Try it, you'll like it!! I love the coziness of this cafe & the owners are great people!
Some of the best lunch food at the lake! Amazing people and chill atmosphere.
We hosted a baby shower at the Paint Box today and its couldn't of been a better experience. We had a big area perfect for the 20-25 people that we had. The food was DELICIOUS! We did sandwiches and a fruit tray & everyone went back for seconds! Cozy, cute & convenient. Highly recommend them for your shower location.
We loved the food. Staff very friendly. Delicious.
The food was great! The service was great! The owner made you feel welcomed and was so sweet!

Such a neat cafe, delicious food, and the cutest kid's meal ever!
It was very warm and quaint and very homey when you walk in. The employees are friendly and willing to help. Great place to eat!
This is a whimsical little cafe with delicious food. Try the soup of the day, it's sure to warm your belly. My absolute favorite is the potato soup. Don't forget dessert; the carrot cake is melt in your mouth perfection! The owners were friendly and inviting. I will definitely be eating here again!
Absolutely love this place, everything there is so fresh and homemade. Great service and such a cute and unique environment.

Had the chicken salad on the cranberry walnut bread absolutely wonderful!
Awesome butter cookies (gooiest and most addictive dessert I have had in years) and carrot cake! Can't wait to try something else soon
Love the atmosphere. Excellent food today. I have eaten there several times. Would be sad to see it close
Had an excellent lunch! Love how homey the dining room feels!
Ham and cheddar rolls are my favorite! Everything is delish!!##
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.
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!
