Ordered an 6 inch lemons berry mix birthday cake. It was just ok, sort of dry and ingredients aren't as fresh. The candle was $1 and it was so tiny that I thought it was a joke. At a price close to $50 I expected more. read more

Drove to Champaign from Bloomington to try these beautiful treats. Did not disappoint :) Atmosphere 5: very cute shop inside and out Service 5: very nice helpful girl at the counter that gave us awesome suggestions Desserts 5: I got the vegan pumpkin cookie. It was very moist and the right amount of sweet, I would get again. My mom got the macaroon. She said it was the best she had ever had. Very buttery. My brother got the pistachio shortbread. He said it was flaky goodness! Overall worth the drive!! read more

Ordered a cake. Beautiful but not at all tasty. Dry and dense crumb. It was embarrassing.

Thanks to their online ordering option I was able to order a few breakfast items this morning and then swing by to pick them up, which was very convenient. Ordered the pear bostock, a cinnamon roll, a ham and cheese croissant, and an egg in a croissant. Glad to see them still open and able to serve customers safely and conveniently during COVID. read more

I don't know why I keep coming here. It's expensive and not the best coffee or bakery. The chocolate chip cookie was severely lacking in chocolate chips. The coffee is bland. The only thing really going for it is it's in the neighborhood and has some vegan selections. read more

Great, diverse, and interesting baked goods and small dishes. And very affordable. Perfect for a weekend brunch.

Ordered 2 cakes for Mother's Day and graduation. Ordered for pick up on Sunday. I received a text the Thursday before that the cakes were ready for pick up. I confirmed that the pick was Sunday and text sent in error. As I feared, the cakes were sitting around since Thursday. The fresh flowers on top were wilted and old. The cakes were dry and the buttercream frosting was "crusty". Very disappointed. read more

I want to start by saying Hopscotch has delicious food and drinks and is always keeping the menu fresh which is great for a repeat customer such as myself. However I recently had a really poor experience here, of course on the day I finally bring my fiancé to visit for his birthday. We arrived about an hour before closing and ordered sandwiches, bread pudding, and drinks. They didn't have their signature drinks updated which was definitely a bummer, but we chose off the regular menu instead. My drink was good but my fiancé ended up with the wrong drink. The bread pudding was served to us ice cold. I don't know if that's a normal thing, but I've had a lot of bread pudding at different places, and it's ALWAYS served warm and soft, so that was very off putting. I asked if they could please heat them up, which they did, but when we got them back they were still ice cold in the middle so we ended up bringing them home to reheat ourselves. We were waiting for our sandwiches for a while and were then told they were out of one that we ordered. No big deal, so we got a panini instead (which was very delicious). After waiting a bit longer, we finally got our sandwiches and my egg sandwich was cold in the middle. At this point, I just gave up and tried to eat around the cold parts. Soon after we began eating, an employee let us know that they were closing and began cleaning up our plates. I was clearly still eating so it was very uncomfortable to be rushed out after waiting and trying to salvage cold food. We paid more than $50 for a meal that was of extremely subpar quality. It also felt like we were a bother to some of the staff members when we asked for a box so we could finish our meal after being swept out. I've only ever ordered out from Hopscotch and probably will in the future if I happen to return. Really disappointed because this bakery is one of my favorites in the area, and this was truly one of the worst dining experiences I've had. read more

Cute place but expensive. The cookies we purchased were not worth the cost. Also, there were kids trying to do headstands on the couch who kicked a glass bottle of fancy candy onto the floor while we were looking at them. Luckily, it didn't break, but we picked it up (Mom was too busy shopping) and it was irritating and we left without buying anything else. Barista/Cashier didn't speak or acknowledge anything. Not a very welcoming atmosphere. read more

If you're looking for the best croissants in town, look no further! They have a great selection of bakery items and savory treats. The quiches are also very creamy and delicious. Finally, the homemade caramel and chocolate sauces make the lattes unforgettable. read more

Hopscotch is by far the best bakery in this town (aside from RegCakes (gf) which is amaze as well) Hopscotch puts time and effort into making/offering new foods, as well as the little details within the shop. Also, best coffee in town. Period. Thank you, Hopscotch, for being a local, hardworking, Independent business! read more

A colleague brought a beautiful cake from here to celebrate a milestone in my life. The cake was absolutely beautiful and equally as tasty. The sweetness was perfect, not too overwhelming. Also super moist. The buttercream was heavenly. I can't say enough nice things about this cake. I've also tried your cupcakes and they are also great. The tastiest cake in this town for sure, maybe even the tastiest I've had. read more

Hopscotch - Beautiful cake, equally as delicious - Cupcakes Near Me - Champaign, Illinois

This is my favorite place in the whole dang town. It's a little pricey, but I love their cold brew and their cool selection of bakery items. I can compare it to cool coffee shops I've seen in places like San Francisco or NYC or even london, it has a neat atmosphere and the decorations and drinks change seasonally. I think it's a special place in town we have so I support it any chance I get. I would rather spend my coffee money there over Starbucks or any other chain. read more

Headed into Hopscotch today on a friend's recommendation, and this place is way too cute! From the awesome crafts you can buy from local talent to the desserts that look too cute to eat, I was overwhelmed with beauty when I stepped in! I can't wait to order treats for my Madison family next time I'm in town! read more

It was my first time trying Hopscotch this past week. I got a ham and Swiss croissant and cinnamon roll with a matcha latte. The croissant was delicious and flaky and the cinnamon roll had to be one of the best I've had. There's a great selection of other bakery items too. Everything is reasonably priced and the atmosphere is really chill. The person taking my order was also super nice and welcoming. This will definitely turn into a regular stop for me. read more

This place is ok but don't go early - staff is slow and most items don't get put out until after 9 or later. Definitely overpriced and everything looks better than it tastes. Lots of better options nearby. read more

Located in the middle of a quiet neighborhood. Not a lot of parking (3-4 spots?) but there is street parking available. I was surprised by the wide range of baked goods they offered. They also had cakes along the wall that were beautifully decorated. We ordered an iced coffee and the bread pudding. The bread pudding was very moist and coffee was good. Overall, very nice decor and atmosphere. read more

Bought a dozen cupcakes for my daughter's birthday. Was promised a variety of cakes, but only got 6 each of two kinds--lemon berry and vanilla. Not a big issue. However, the lemon berry ones were so horribly bitter that after trying a couple, had to throw away the rest as they were inedible. It seemed like they used rotten lemons to make these. The vanilla ones were OK. So, essentially we only got 6 good cupcakes for the price of 12. Would not order from them again. read more

I saw hopscotch at farmer's market last year and bought lavender honeycomb and baby cake from their stall. I liked the honeycomb but did not like baby cake. Now, after a year, I thought of trying it again as I found it located inside art mart. I bought walnut caramel bar, brownie, champagne baby cake and gooey butter cake. I wanted to try a few before writing a review. My review of each item is as follow: Walnut caramel bar(2/5): it was not overly sweet, which I liked. Had good amount of walnut. But, the overall taste was not that good. Brownie(3/5): again not too sweet, was more on bitter side. Liked the caramel on top. Overall, good. Champagne baby cake(2/5): too sweet, was not moist, felt heavy. Gooey butter cake(1/5): extremely sweet. And that's the only thing I could taste. I couldn't eat it more than one bite. read more

Kaya will be making my wedding desserts next March. As research (tough, right?), my fiancé and I have tried many of her goodies at various markets. I love that she uses all natural ingredients. Taste is never sacrificed though as these are some of the yummiest desserts I've ever tasted. I love her caramels, cookie boxes, and peanut brittle. The salted caramel chocolate cake was great, too. Communication is easy with Kaya via whatever method you prefer. Her website is easy to navigate and she has a strong presence on social media. Check Hopscotch out. You won't regret it. read more

Hopscotch - Salted caramel cake! - Cupcakes Near Me - Champaign, Illinois

Firstly, I have to say that Hopscotch does a great job in their cake decoration! Unfortunately, the cakes don't taste nearly as good as how they look. I bought Hopscotch's berry buttercream 6'' vanilla cake for a birthday party. The cake cost $40 and was quite small but well-decorated, so I expected it to taste great and impress the other guests. I even hyped it up at the party, so people were expecting some great cake... Sadly, the cake was very disappointing. The buttercream was bland and tasteless, and the cake was dry and stale (like old pound cake). I have to say that even the generic cake from Meijer tastes better. I was pretty embarrassed to say the least... If all you want is a cake that looks pretty in a picture, then by all means come to Hopscotch. But, whatever you do, don't count on their cakes tasting any good! read more

I've been a fan of Hopscotch since they opened, and continue to support them during lockdown and curbside-only pickup, but think customers should be aware that they're not quite ready to handle more than a very few customers at a time. I've had several experiences in the last few weeks where my orders were wrong or seriously delayed behind others who arrived and ordered after me, so be prepared. And the mask/distancing of patrons standing outside is very variable- you take your chances. read more

Oh how I wanted to LOVE Hopscotch. The interior is darling and some of the artistry done with frosting is magnificent. For my birthday, I heavily hinted to my husband that I would really, really love to have one of their works of art as my cake, and he delivered. The cake he brought home was pretty, although not exactly what he has asked for (roses instead of peonies but really not a big deal), but the flavor was what we were excited about; vanilla blackberry. We eagerly cut into the cake (after letting it sit out for two hours as instructed) to find that on sight, it resembled very stale soda bread. It was incredibly dense and heavy - and really tough to cut (sawing was required). Still, we remained hopeful, but on first bite we struggled to chew the cake that was tough, dry, and not even a little sweet (and I prefer my desserts on the unsweetened side). There was no taste of vanilla or blackberry, and there was a definite smell and taste of frostbite or perhaps just something very artificial. Neither of us could finish our pieces, and the rest of the cake was tragically trashed. The worst part of this was not that my birthday cake was a total dud, but rather watching my husband's face fall as he realized what a disappointment this cake was. I am quite pregnant and not able to partake in some more typical celebratory indulgences, so he had hoped to get me an epic cake to make up for it. I hope others don't have this experience, but also hope that the bakers at Hopscotch can work to prevent any future disasters. All the pretty icing in the world won't help a cake that's too tough to chew. read more

Hopscotch continues to shine, especially in light of the ongoing pandemic. They've added numerous delicious new items, continue to excel at established favorites, and retain the same bright, welcoming, and safe service. read more

A gem in Champaign! This space is so lovely, and I was surprised to see that they sell cute stationary in addition to amazing baked goods. It's not a huge space, and I personally wouldn't come here to study and chill for a long time. However, I would stop by to have a latte and share a dessert with a friend. I just wish they stayed open later! Came for $1 macaron Wednesdays and was not disappointed. Also ordered the mini Oreo cheesecake, which was rich and delicious. read more

Updating my review from 1 to 4 stars. Tonight I tried the chocolate chip cookie, the caraway shortbread, and a honey miso latte. I didn't like the chocolate chip cookie but my partner did; it was chewy which he's a fan of. The caraway shortbread was GREAT. The shortbread was so good-- a little salty, subtly sweet, and had a great texture. The honey miso latte was good! I appreciated that the shortbread was labeled as "caraway shortbread" so I knew I was getting something herbaceous and unique. The service could be better by which I mean the people could be more talkative and a little less "moody but cute Tumblr chick". There was no effort to build rapport but I'll assume they were just incredibly focused on cutting marshmallows. I will be back! read more

Very very nice coffee shop to hang out at and good coffee. Cons, highly over priced and limited parking. read more

I highly enjoy the creativity that goes into the food and drink items, the decor of the shop, and the variety of things available to try on a regular basis. I also love supporting a local owner. Most of what my family has bought has ranged from very good to excellent. For example, the gluten-free options are outstanding, including the brown sugar oat cupcakes and the carrot cupcakes. The egg-free chocolate cookie is very rich with a distinct chocolate flavor and wonderful texture. I can also attest to the quiche and have tried at least two flavors. Her bread puddings are also terrific. There are some items that aren't a runaway success but am not opting to list those. Instead, here's a handful of reasons why it's not a 5-star review for me: 1) The espresso-based drinks are not always very hot. Temperature is crucial to a really good espresso drink, especially if you are going to spend $5 or more on it. 2) The attitudes of the employees are not always stellar. The last two times I have picked up items from Hopscotch to go, each young woman behind the counter who rang me up were coolly polite at best. There wasn't service with a smile or any kind of cheerfulness, even when I would try to engage about the items. I felt as if I was inconveniencing each of them being there. The first time it happened, I chalked it up to the person having a bad day. But the second time, with a different person, I had someone else with me who also thought it was a stiff transaction for being such a homey place. This might seem like a small thing but for me, this makes the difference of being a regular versus going only once every few months. 3) During peak times, it would be an improvement if there were more than one person behind the counter, e.g. one person making hot drinks and another person helping those in line who are picking out baked goods. Tip: don't go here in a hurry. All in all, a great place to go when you have time, and you want to try locally-made delicious treats or pick up a unique gift for a loved one. It's also conveniently located in the center of town. read more

We ordered a custom cake for a family celebration. It was beautiful and tasted great. The cake here is not overwhelmingly sweet like you get at a grocery store, but it has intense flavors, which we prefer. The 8 inch cake easily served 13 with some leftovers. My one recommendation is that the business set it up so that you receive an automated email confirmation when you submit an order online. The shop is really nice too if you want to sit and enjoy a coffee. read more

Hopscotch - A beautiful custom cake - Cupcakes Near Me - Champaign, Illinois

I went to Hopscotch this morning and it was amazing! The ambiance was wonderful. Everything I saw looked so yummy, from the pastries in the cases to the jams and jellies in the front. I got a chocolate croissant, which was so light and airy. I also got a raspberry lemon cupcake. I'm usually not a huge fan of frosting, but wow... the balance between the lemon cake, sweetness of the frosting, and the raspberry in the frosting to add some tang was so delicious. I could not be more happy with my experience at Hopscotch. read more

Such a great little bakery. Highly recommended. Their baked goods are terrific. We've gotten cupcakes (so good), cookies (huge!) and more over the long, long pandemic. They're very safe, providing online ordering, outdoor pickup, and curbside. They've also got great coffee drinks (try the oatmilk latte with honey; it's delicious) and they're always so friendly when you pick your order up. They also offer a really cool service to support our healthcare workers too: Buy a Nurse a Cookie. You can pay just a little over two bucks and change for a nurse to get one of their delicious cookies. So cool! They've got a little parking lot but if it's packed you may need to do street parking. They're in a quiet, residential neighborhood, though, so you don't need to worry about parking on a busy street. They've also got outdoor seating too. read more

I really like their order ahead service. A lot of business have a cutoff the night before and this doesn't work well for me as I'm more of a spur of the moment eater. So the fact that I can order something for 10 minutes later is fantastic. The food has been great and I like their coffee as well! read more

Hopscotch did our wedding cake last month, and it was one of our favorite parts of the day. It was stunning and delicious. We really enjoyed their tasting process; rather than having a standard tasting box, we chose our top three flavors, and they were prepared for us. This is especially helpful if you are interested in trying some nontraditional flavors. I gave Kaya our colors and some wedding inspiration photos (just to show the vibe we were going for) and linked her to some of our favorite cakes she's done, and the results were better than we could've imagined! Wedding cakes aren't their main focus, so it required surrendering some control, but if you know you like their aesthetic and flavors, and I don't think you can go wrong. read more

This place is AMAZING. It is a hidden little gem in Champaign. There are always so many options to choose from. My husband and my favorite 3 are the salted caramel brownie, the lemon bar, and the ooey gooey cake. You must stop by every Wednesday for $1 macarons. Very pleased with the gluten free cake they made for my husband's PhD ceremony. No one could tell it was GF! So delicious. You won't be sorry that you stopped here! read more

Hopscotch - Quiche from Hopscotch bakery. - Cupcakes Near Me - Champaign, Illinois

I love the interior and the owner is super nice, and the cakes look gorgeous, but I had the cupcakes twice and they were pretty dry both times. I wish they had a better selection to choose from. We were there quite a bit when they first opened, but their prices and limited selection (maybe I am going the wrong days?), and prettier to the eye but meh to the taste cupcakes/other pastries prevents me from going regularly. I was really looking forward to coming here regularly, but i am not surprised by the mixed reviews on the cakes here. I dare not order a custom cake here because their cupcakes aren't that great. Some of their things are pretty good though. Overall I expect more, but the desserts don't always live up to the hype. Mixed bag. 2.5 stars ish read more
