I can say wholeheartedly they have raised the bar and lowered the calories. Get them, give them, promote them. Each littel box is no more than a greeting card. A much better way to say ...whatever.

Came across this new business this past week at the Champaign farmers market. Got talking with the…read moreowner and was intrigued with the idea where they combine fruits and edible flowers to make the cakes. There were a lot of interesting combinations like chocolate beet, apple kale, peach lavender etc. I tried the Lemon elderflower and it was absolutely delicious. Can't wait to go back and try some more. It was incredibly fresh and tasted amazing.

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!

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!

I really like Meijer's for produce and general goods. Harvest has terrible produce especially for a…read moreplace that likes to be known for " healthy, organic" foods. Harvest has terrible produce most of the time & I'v received rotten fruit and veges too many times from harvest. But Meijer's produce has pleasantly surprised me,& even when I order via InstaCart I never have a problem either. I love the variety of produce products as well. I have been getting gorgeous oranges and peaches, nectarines & baking potatoes for example, which I could never find at other stores in and around Champaign. When Im doing In-person shopping at Meijer's, I never wait long on check-out lines & because they have a nice variety in all categories of foods I find many things I just cant get at Harvest or other places in Champaign county. Also, I love that Meijer's carts are for the most part pretty clean-not so at Harvest. The only thing is I wish they had a meat counter & dont generally by fish or meats from there. The cashiers are very nice & pack the way I ask them to & my deliveries are are fine too, never a problem and very prompt. This year I have made Meijer's my main go-to store & highly recommend it.

Rick's made my graduation cake, a custom princess cake, over a decade ago and so I was so happy to see this was still an option they offered. Aside from the cakes Rick's has so much to offer.

The cake box and overall aesthetic of the packaging was so adorable and clean! The cake itself i could live without, but I thought it was nice to try. The fudge-like taste dominated my taste buds and the cake was moist and rich in cacao. The cream-cheese cream I really put up with it. Although I could eat it, i found it to be overly sweet. I don't care about that because I liked my cake more than I hated it. Thank you for baking my lovely experience!!
