I'm a local who frequents Cafe Paradiso a couple times a week. It's been my favorite neighborhood…read morespot for a few years. I even started coming more often after Dutch Brothers opened down the street because I wanted to offset the possibility of small business loss. This place has meant that much to me. What has set Paradiso apart from other coffee spots in town has always been the vibe; serving up a warm and welcoming spot to enjoy your drink and hang for a few. Up until recently the staff have always been friendly and attentive. Things have been going downhill for a couple months, but the last few weeks have been particularly egregious. A majority of the friendly and familiar faces that made this place so beloved have been replaced in recent weeks with rude and indifferent staff members. Recently I've had a half dozen instances of drinks made incorrectly (nothing fancy, just steamed milk and tea), or having to repeatedly ask for food I ordered, etc. and then being treated like I'm an imposition for asking to correct the issue. Many of the staff seem to pick and choose who they're polite to, to the point that I no longer feel personally welcome. I think I'll be taking my business elsewhere from now on.

Some of the other cookie places the cookies are way too sweet and if you like that, then great but I don't like such a sweet Cookie. That's why I stick with insomnia cookies. They just need to open a place closer to the suburbs outside of Chicago like in Orland Park, Tinley Park. They also have a very good variety of cookies and if you order online when you get there, they will be warm and gooey.

I'd my Afro hair pretty good it attracted him I guess and made him keep an eye on me watching me and keep bothering me telling me what to do where to order and stuff while there were bunch of other people in line and he didn't ask any of them.

This dessert shop was a wonderful find for me. I went here to get a matcha oriented drink but ended…read moreup getting a soft-serve swirl. Upon arrival, I checked out the menu and saw a lot of wonderful variety of items that I wanted to try; however, I only had room for one thing. While scoping out the menu, my eyes fell on their soft-serve flavors. They not only had chocolate and vanilla flavors but also, hojicha, matcha, and ube. Plus, you could get them in a swirl or just as two flavors in a dish. I immediately decided that I wanted the Hojicha and Ube pairing. My son got the Matcha and Ube combo. Both were good. I liked all the flavors. Hojicha was my favorite, followed by Matcha, and then Ube. Each of these ice cream had rich flavor and the texture was smooth. The pricing of the soft-serve was on the high side but the portion size was good. The Ice cream is made in-house including the Hojicha. The shop was busy. It was frequented by U of I students, it seemed. The service was good. I'd go back here if I were to be in Champaign again. Check it out.

I have to give a 4 star rating though because within the last year or so I noticed they have stopped filling the cup full to the top. I asked to have more ice cream added to my tornado and the girl said she couldn't fill it after I had eaten it and I hadn't eaten anything and had just picked it up from the counter. I let her know I hadn't eaten anything and I had just got it from another girl working there and she apologized and gave me a small cup of ice cream to add to the top to mix in myself. But it had happened multiple times since then and it's pretty frustrating when you are paying so much for a tornado and it isn't filled to the top like it used to be and also making the drive for it too. I also don't love asking them to fill it after getting it from the counter. It's awkward. Overall, I will continue to get ice cream from SDB because it truly is the best. Just wish they would fill the cup all the way up without having to ask. :) *The photos attached are before I had eaten anything from the cup.

This place has seen better days and you can tell it's been visited by many. While the seating and…read morefurniture look a little tired, it's still very colorful and fun, making for a spunky atmosphere. Read: our toddler loved this place! They offer the most selection of froyo flavors we've seen in Champaign-Urbana. There is also the option of getting a scooped version of the froyo onto a cone. Many toppings to choose from. You can even choose a color changing cup for your froyo for an additional $1. All of the spoons are color changing (again, major plus for our toddler). Docked two stars because the froyo itself is almost overly sweet. The consistency is a little icy for some flavors (strawberry) esp for soft serve/froyo and the taste could be better. It is, however, on par for taste at the other froyo/soft serve places in town. Bonus here at TCBy is they have more flavor options. While it's not terrible, it's just ok. It will satisfy your cravings and be loved by a toddler but if you're looking for Yogurtland quality or Pinkberry, this is not it. Service was great and the parking is easy to find. They have outdoor and indoor seating. The place is clean and I'm sure my toddler will want to come back soon!
