A beautiful selection of pastries, scones, croissants in addition to the breakfast/brunch hot items. We had the breakfast sandwich - featured herbed cream cheese. It was delicious. The $4 cinnamon roll was fresh and large enough to split. The berry scone was amazing. Such a cute atmosphere and really friendly staff. It's a great little spot!
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
I am visiting my daughter who lives in Champaign and happened to drive past this cute little cafe with a big sign in the window that says "Now serving breakfast"! I'm a late riser and was looking for a place still serving breakfast, where I could also get a good mocha latte (my favorite!) This place hit the mark! The inside of the cafe is so cute and welcoming! They have a couch and a comfy chair, and a little gift shop too! And their baked goods looked mouthwatering, but I resisted them as I'm trying to watch my sugar intake! Their menu is great, I got the egg and veggie patty breakfast sandwich which came with the option of roasted potatoes or a salad! A great option!! I chose the salad which was a refreshing balance and allowed me to get some greens in with my first meal of the day! The mocha latte was delicious and so was the food! I was half way thru my sandwich when I remembered I should take a pic to post a review! :-) I will definitely be back to this place and have already shared with my daughter so she can support this business as well! The barista was so kind and sweet also!! Big shouts out to this beautiful local cafe!
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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 !!!

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. read more

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! read more

I ordered a cup of iced Americano and Tiramisu to go. The vibe inside was pretty cozy, which might be a nice spot for study and chatting. I especially love the Tiramisu, which I think is the best in town! The coffee was strong and might be dark roasted as my favorite. Nice and friendly service as well. I would be more excited if it expands its opening period and adds more parking spaces! read more

While the cupcakes LOOK stunning, they were incredibly dry and lacked flavor. There was as much frosting as there was cupcake, and that as well was not flavorful. In addition, they may want to utilize boxes that don't smoosh their cupcakes. It is a cute shop, and I did also get a chocolate croissant that was great! But being that they have so many cupcakes, they may want to check the recipes and how long they're keeping them in the oven. read more

Ordered a wedding cake from here. It was dry, flavorless, and left a waxy after-taste! They also have super unorganized communication with their cake clients. Would NEVER recommend a cake from this place! read more

A great little place to escape the chilly Illinois weather! I stopped in here for coffee with a friend one day, had never tried this spot but have heard good things (and really wanna check out The Literary as well!) I was just looking for a cup of warmth and maybe a couple of sweet treats. We went in and it was so cute and intimate, a little bar near the window, some tables in the corner to work at, and a nice comfy couch with a gorgeous coffee table in the middle of the space. The walls were lined with various jams, cocktail mixes, teas, and coffees you could buy to try. A great little area to peruse while waiting for your coffee and food. I ended up ordering the Salted Orange Mocha and my friend got a Plain Black Coffee, I paired my yummy mocha with a decadent ooey-gooey salted caramel brownie and a flakey buttery classic croissant. The brownie was so rich and the salted caramel balanced it out nicely so the chocolate wasn't too overpowering. The croissant was very buttery and had a nice crisp flakey outside. The inside was fluffy and had those beautiful croissant layers you look for. My mocha really shocked me, surprisingly I don't typically like chocolate and orange together but I do love trying new things. The orange in this is super soft and doesn't have quite the punch I thought it would, it dances over your tongue and gets enveloped by the mocha. It's a very subtle concoction and I would definitely order it again! Overall this was a great coffee spot and it wasn't too crowded when we went in the afternoon. I think it may be a little overlooked with all the coffee shops on campus and downtown Champaign, I definitely think Hopscotch needs more recognition especially with all their cool coffee creations. I can't wait to go back and see what else they have to offer! * * * Check out my Instagram thatfoodiewithglasses read more

Nasty! Don't order your cupcakes from Hopscotch. Disappointed and the taste was awful. Tasted dense, think, and like corn muffins. No one liked them. I had a table full of kids who would not eat them. $75 dollars for 2p kids down the drain. There are plenty of other bakeries in the area to choose from in C-U. read more

Kaya makes the most beautiful and delectable desserts! She uses natural and seasonal ingredients, which guarantees a fresh, full-flavored taste in all of her treats. I *love* Hopscotch's mini-cakes, lemon bars, and chocolate anythings. Hopscotch Bakery + Market's response to the Covid-19 crisis has been unmatched. From the beginning, they met the needs of our C-U community and have had their staff + our health and wellbeing at the forefront of their minds. They also have an amazing donation program to give baked goods to essential workers! So awesome! I highly recommend Hopscotch to anyone looking for desserts for a wedding or other special event - or for a sweet treat for yourself and your loved ones! You will love to work with this team! read more

I have been following along on their Instagram for months and couldn't have been more excited to try Hopscotch. Although you sadly can't go inside right now they have done their best to make it a pleasant experience even while waiting outside. With both online and in-person order options they have made getting fresh baked goods during these crazy times a breeze. The employee I interacted with during my visit was kind and very friendly, happy to give me her recommendations when I asked and was super patient while I figured out what I wanted. I got the Plum and Pistachio Croissant and a Honey Miso Latte. Both were amazing! It is definitely on the pricey side but for handmade quality products you definitely get what you pay for. Overall such a pleasant experience and I will definitely be going back! read more
