    Quick and friendly service. Delicious iced latte. They have a separate room with additional seating- perfect for meeting a friend or getting some work done. Outdoor seating as well.

    Stopped in for better coffee than what was offered in my hotel room. I opted for a large black sesame matcha and added two shots of espresso. The space is small and cozy and they have a few small tables outside for when the weather is nice. The menu is pretty extensive with seasonal offerings (one of which was the black sesame matcha) and fresh pastries. I really liked that they had a Staff Picks section that I assume is their staff's favorite drinks named after them. The chalkboard along the wall detailed each drink. I'll be back to try one of those next time!

    This cute little cafe right off green street is a perfect study spot for in between classes. Both of our croissants were delicious and the perfect temperature. The dirty chai with vanilla was very very good, exceptionally godo! def a new go to order! I tried the strawberry cold brew with almond milk and it was actually delicious! It was not too bitter and also not too sweet! The strawberry flavor was a nice change from my regular vanilla latte. The service was perfect i barely had to wait and everyone was very kind. It is also super aesthetic there and there is enough seating to find your perfect spot!

    Chill and casual vibe. Students studying on a Sunday morning. Vanilla Pistachio latte w heart art was good.

    A great coffee shop for a West Coast transplant. One of the few places that feels like home for me. Yes, this makes me a pretentious coffee yuppie cafe hanger-outer :) They source Counter Culture beans which are awesome.

    This place is super cute! Found this gem while I was searching for a coffee shop in the area to meet my little sister at. The cold brew was great and the croissant was amazing, but the location and set up was to die for. If i lived in the area, I would set up shop here everyday with books and computer. Love how spacious it is and the ambiance. I'm all about an inclusive place, and they do a great job with that message. Highly recommend stopping by for an awesome experience!

    The Atmosphere is great and college vibes. The parking was reasonable for 75cents an hour. Surrounded with good seating areas and on the college strip close enough to grab coffee and go get brunch.

    The kind soul working at the counter needs a raise!! We walked in with a party of 7 and he was extremely kind, energetic, and patient taking our orders. On top of the amazing service, the drinks were FANTASTIC!! Would 100% recommend the crème brûlée matcha and oatmeal cookie latte!

    If you're visiting campus, do yourself a favor and visit this amazing coffee shop. The iced oat milk latte with lavender is delicious! Their baked goods are wonderful - try their almond croissant! Plus their staff is super friendly. Highly recommended!

    Neat inside

    Proper Italian cappuccino joint to fix up the caffeine addiction. Simple menu, basic inside space, a few fun options I need to get back n try like Affogato, and great mocktail mixes. I loved the hibiscus!

    See all

    Matcha En - Black Sesame Matcha Latte ($7.50) - even 0% is already really sweet. I think the black sesame powder comes presweetened.

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.

We got a couple of croissants and a canele, and we each ordered an espresso drink. It was everything she promised - and more. The croissant was flaky and buttery. The canele had the signature caramelized exterior and soft inside. I intended to only have a bite and save the rest for later, but I couldn't resist finishing it. Would definitely come back on my next visit. In the meantime, I'll just have to ask my friend to bring pastries to me when she visits!

The service was quick and friendly, the barista described the options available and had good recommendations! Good study space with WiFi, bathrooms, and a water fountain around the corner. Just be prepared to wear a jacket on either end of the cafe near the doors, can get windy upon opening! Thai Tea Caramel Canelé {5/5}: The best canelé I've ever had (okay, I admit, I've only had maybe 6 in my life). Great caramel and good Thai tea flavor. The texture was AMAZING with a nice slight crisp and chewy outside and almost custard-like inside. I got 2 more before I left Green Onion Kouign-Amann {4/5}: A caramel shell outside of this very flakey pastry that I had plenty of green onions mixed within the dough. It was a great play on sweet and salty flavors with delicious flakey layers Jade Cloud {3/5}: Peach oolong tea with matcha cold foam. Just a personal preference thing, but the flavor combination of peach, oolong, and matcha was not my favorite. I can see how someone who likes this flavor profile would find this drink refreshing!
