    Salted caramel chocolate cake buttercream
    Lilee N.

    This is for a semi-custom cake review. First, they offer semi-custom cakes made to order via their website. I chose chocolate cake with salted caramel filling and buttercream outside. Added extra macarons, fresh flowers, and gold leaf. Also paid to get a colored buttercream (lavender). Cake tasted fresh and moist. Salted caramel was rich and buttery. Buttercream was as expected. A little disappointed with the decor. It looked a bit like Barney. Hardly any flowers either. Take your chances with this. Good news was despite the mixed reviews on cake freshness, mine was fresh. Just off with the decor

    Good stuff! And the New York Times

    Such an adorable spot! Wonderful baked goods and lovely coffees. This is a favorite spot to visit. My sister and I will stop and sit in the sunny dining area and enjoy baked treats or sometimes breakfast. I think this would be a wonderful place to arrange a meet up with a new friend, too.

    Ham and Havarti Croissant
    Joanne C.

    Very cute small bakery vibes with limited seating, especially around brunch time on the weekend! I got the ham and havarti croissant (toasted). The flavor was good but the croissant was a little bit too too oily. I'd like to return to try the other very aesthetic items but the croissant was honestly just okay. Small parking lot so I did neighborhood street parking!

    Potatoes were burnt and bacon was so crispy it shatters when bitten into. Didn't eat either. I know the cook can see it's burnt, so why serve it? Especially when charging the most one could get away with charging for an egg sandwich.

    Three stars for its fantastic vibe and appearance of food. Went there several times recently for breakfast and lunch. It is a small cafe with a small menu (but lots of bakery stuff). Food tasted so-so; the portion size was super small. For example, the tuna melt croissant sandwich was no more than 1/3 of the croissant sandwich served in Pekara Bakery & Bistro... The best were breakfast sandwich and granola+yogurt. Because of the small sizes. their dishes were too pricey. So it's not very likely for me to come here often. What this restaurant does good at is its vibe and the appearance of the dishes. As soon as you walk into it, you are greeted with all kinds of small, colorful and lovely decor. Their restroom is painted pink, and had cute baskets etc. inside as well. Food is also served in a delicate, Ins-style way (except their tiny sizes). So in general this cafe is good for working and having simple breakfast/lunch, and perfect for taking photos, but not appropriate for having full meal.

    Matcha Panna Cotta

    Hopscotch is THE cutest bakery in the Champaign area! Their interior is always beautifully decorated and the speciality items are made to align with the season. The workers are always so kind and helpful with your every need. For food, I absolutely love their soft cinnamon rolls and flaky croissants which are 100% worth coming back for. On Valentine's Day, my boyfriend and I got to try the matcha panna cotta which was just melt in your mouth amazing! However, I would not recommend ordering from their all-day food menu, since they excel the most in their pastries and baked goods. They also offer options for custom made cakes which is something worth noting. As for drinks, I've tried their matcha horchata latte over the summer which tasted a bit water down, but they do have better and stronger coffee selections. A note to the wise-- there is very limited indoor seating and parking lot spaces, but options for street parking in the neighborhood. I would love to see this place expand to cater to the large audience it attracts since it has so much potential. Although Hopscotch is not necessarily the best for studying or sitting down to eat a full-on brunch, it's ideal for stopping by to pick up a delicious pastry every now and again!

    Don't waste your money on Hopescotch cakes! I got an 8inch vanilla cake with matcha buttercream icing from Hopscotch. The cake looked great but it was THE worst experience in terms of flavor and texture. the cake sponge was clearly stale, very dense, and smelled really bad. The icing on the top was also so stiff that it fell apart when cutting the cake. I specifically asked the lady at the cashier that I want a fresh cake and this was far from being fresh. I didn't expect Hopscotch to sell this quality of cake. I felt really embarrassed in the party seeing everyone finding their way to the trash can to get rid of their slice. I have contacted the store and nobody responded, next step is to take the leftover cake to the store and ask the owner to try it out! Update: I stopped by the store and explained the problem; the manager was very rude and said she choose to refuse a refund because of my review! Customer service on par with cake quality! Interesting fact, when I was there to complain, the other two cakes from yesterday were still there waiting for the next poor customer. My party was ruined and I'm not getting a refund but I hope at least this review helps the next person

    Chocolate Croissant
    Diann M.

    The quality of the food at Hopscotch has gone down drastically over the years and I no longer believe in my glowing 5-star review from 2 years ago. Often, I think we assume what looks great would taste great, but hopscotch with its quaint interior and cute knick-knacks serves as a prime example that looks are deceiving. I've been going to hopscotch 2-3x a week just for their chocolate croissant. It certainly WAS the best in town: the buttery crust, gooey-exploding chocolate, and sea salt on top *chef's kiss*. Recently, I noticed the differences in the chocolate croissants. Some days, they were 1/2 size of what I would normally get. From this past weekend, the color of the chocolate croissants looked SEVERELY UNDERBAKED (photo attached in comparison with their regular chocolate croissant). Without giving it too much thought, I still took one to-go, only to find out that it was underbaked, and tasted so flour-y that I had to toss it. The other day, I ordered another chocolate croissant around 1 p.m. and couldn't help but notice that it tasted a day(s) old. I am not entirely sure if it was actually days old or if they overbaked it that day. However, the lack of quality control in this bakery is disappointing. Regardless of size, quality, and taste, I have stayed loyal and paid their set price of $6.14 because I assumed the bakery was having an off-day. However, when you encounter more than one or two instances of poor products, it's not "just" an off-day.

    Pastries to-go!

    We stayed at the air bnb above this bakery and just had to try it. It's in a charming neighborhood in Champaign just a block off of Prospect Ave and across the street from Southside Elementary School. There's a small parking lot and plenty of street parking available. Inside you will find an adorable bakery and cafe. We went in around 9am on a Friday and the place was ours. There's seating available if you would like to enjoy your treats in house. We ordered carry out to share with some friends and family. 2 cinnamon rolls, 2 tomato and herb quiche, 2 bagels and cream cheese. I split a quiche and one of the jug ge cinnamon rolls with my husband. They were both well made and the cinnamon roll was delicious! I wish they had a few more savory breakfast items but their traffic might be lighter on weekdays..? They had some baked desserts that looked amazing and some unique drinks you won't find just anywhere like a brown sugar and fig latte. I also noticed hand made marshmallows! They sell specialty food items and gifts as well. This place is really cute and seems to have a little bit of everything. No matter who you are and what you're looking for Hopscotch has something for everyone. Stop in and check it out for yourself!

    Very disappointed in Hopscotch. We ordered my daughter's graduation cake for $300. It looked beautiful. We expected it to taste decent at minimum. It was tasteless, dry and felt like 3 days old. Could not believe something that looked so good tasted so bad. We were recommended to go there by my daughter who went to school there at UofI. She was just as disappointed in them. Then there was order delay issue. At first they said would be delivered in the AM, barely got there in time for dinner !!! Could not get anyone on phone. Only over email or text. Very unprofessional!!! If I would of read reviews first about this place I would of never ordered from here. Save your money. It looks amazing. But tastes horrible !!!

    This is a neighborhood place. Friendly staff, homey atmosphere, walkable from the neighborhood. Small parking lot but people inside so they must have walked. Just enough baked goods and other items to have a good selection. Chocolate croissant had a sprinkle if salt. Mocha was good. Lots of charm!

I've made stuff with okara before and like the particular flavor and texture-- it feels drier and denser because of the soy pulp, but it's something I like.

However, a few weeks ago, (6/6/26) I had a disappointing experience with a staff member there while picking up an online cake order. On the day of cake pick up, I was done with errands at around 10am, I called the bakery to ask if it was possible to pickup the cake early. The girl on the phone sounded very annoyed with my request (I was just asking, they could have said no) and told me they don't do pickups until noon but I can still come in. So I get there and she immediately starts treating me like I was a huge inconvenience. As she's handing me the cake, she pulls out a receipt and started scolding me that pickups don't start until noon and it's right there on the website. I showed her my email receipt confirming 10:30am pickup and how there's literally two different sections with different times on their website so i was obviously confused. but she ignored my explanation and continued chastising me for the misunderstanding of the pickup times. I just let it go as I didn't want to argue but I left feeling very upset. I think management/owners dropped the ball on training staff on how handle these types of situations with professionalism and not immediately placing blame on the customer. I tried my best to smile and be friendly to her but she was starting to become defensive. There was no accountability for the user interface of their website. She made sure to make it known that it was my mistake alone. I have not decided whether I will continue to support this establishment but I won't be back for awhile.

They're my favorite bakery in the area: I'm a really big fan and have tried many of their items (as you can see from my many photos...). My favorite items here are their cream cakes, milk bread (which they call toast), and the cakes with taro and/or mochi. I also highly recommend ordering custom cakes from them: I've ordered three custom cakes (including my wedding cake) and they were all delicious, beautifully decorated, and reasonably priced, especially for the quality. The character designs they do on cakes are super cute. Their menu changes every day, and the milk bread usually comes out later in the afternoon, around 3:30. If you can read Chinese, they have a WeChat group where they post their daily menu. They also sometimes have specials for holidays, e.g., mooncakes for Mid Autumn Festival. I've tried too many of their products to list here, but here are a just few of my favorites (you can check my photos for more details): -Cream Cakes (about $8-9 per slice, depending on the flavor) - these are light and not too sweet, and I really like the whipped cream. My favorites have been the black sesame cream cake, durian cream cake, taro cake, and jasmine milk tea cream cake; the fruit cream is also a classic and is delicious as well. I loved the black sesame cream cake so much that I got it for my wedding. -Toast (Milk Bread) - this comes in two sizes and several flavors; a small is around $5 and a large is around $9. My favorites are the taro and the pork floss flavors, but all the ones I tried have been great. It's very fluffy, soft, stretchy, and slightly sweet, and it's especially great when it's still warm. It's by far the best option for milk bread in town (it's much better than the version at Suzu's Bakery, for instance). -Purple Rice Cream Cheese Bun ($6) - bread with cream cheese, mochi, and purple rice filling. The mochi and purple rice combo is delicious, especially when the bun is still warm. -Taro Mochi Cake ($9) - layers of sponge cake, mochi, pork floss, and taro. The perfect combo in my opinion. I also like their Taro Roll and Mochi Roll, which are smaller versions with sponge cake, pork floss, and one of taro or mochi in the filling. -Mille Crepe Cakes (around $10 per slice, depending on the flavor) - these have relatively more cream compared to crepe. My personal preference would be for more crepe, but I really liked the durian mille crepe and the sakura matcha mille crepe that I tried here. In addition to cream cakes, they also make a variety of other styles of cakes, including mousse cakes, cheesecakes, Basque style cheesecakes, and tiramisu. The cream cakes are my favorite, but the mousse cakes and cheesecakes are great too and are not too sweet. The tiramisu is one of the sweetest cakes I've tried here, but I really liked it as well. The service is really kind and sweet. For custom cake orders, they're very friendly, kind, and thorough. I definitely recommend giving them a visit!

(My 3 selections - in their individual plastic cupcake holders - were placed inside a colorful, floral printed plastic bag. Nice touch.) Standard gourmet cupcakes are $3 now, and more flavors are available than I recalled. I've recently also tried lemon lime, salted caramel, and peanut butter mousse. Generally, I'm not a huge buttercream fan, as it usually is too heavy on the butter for me, so the lemon lime and salted caramel were not my absolute faves.
